YORKSHIR E. 
During a tremendous thunder-storm, on 
Sunday, Aug. 9, as the family of Mr. Robin¬ 
son, of South Park, near Hedon, Yorkshire, 
was sitting in the parlour after supper, the 
lightning entered the room, and Mr. S. Ro¬ 
binson, aged 28 years, who was sitting with 
his head close to the bell-handle, which had 
served as a conductor to the electric fluid, was 
instantly struck dead. The two Misses Ro¬ 
binson, and a Mr. Haggerstone, were slightly- 
bruised. A small discoloured place appeared 
on the side of the deceased’s neck, and one on 
the outside of his thigh, but no other marks 
of the stroke were visible. 
Jt appeared, at the conference of the people 
called Methodists, that there is an increase of 
7445 members, and the preacher.s and chapels 
have increased in proportion. Their missions 
in Ireland were spoken of in a very favorable 
manner. Mr, Charles Atmore was chcseji 
president, and the Rev. Dr. Coke, as usual, 
secretary. Mr. Joseph Drake opened the 
conference, July 28, at eight o’clock in the 
morning, in a short sermon. Mr. Sutcliffe 
preached in forenoon, on Isaiah’s vision. Dr. 
Adam Clarke, on the two following Monday 
evenings, preached on the being of a God. 
Messrs. Benson, Stephens (Jar 9 es), Wood, 
Marsden, Entwisle, and ethers, proceeded in 
the course of sermons previously arranged. 
The number of preachers who attended was 
not less than 259. Twenty-six preachers, 
having iinished their probation of four years, 
were publicly received into full connexion; 
and the demand for preachers from different 
parts of the L^nitcd Kingdom, induced the 
conference to admit 60 young men for trial as 
candidates for the minisirv.
