to the southward of the town, when it assa- 
med the appearance of a large conical hay-rick, 
encompassed with smoke. It moved very 
slowly at first, in a direction towards Ciren- 
cester, forcing up by the roots iamy trees in 
the parish of Siddington: inceed, so tardy was 
its progress, that some persons had time to 
Ket upon the tower. of Preston church, in 
order to observe its course. When it ap- 
proached, nearer to Cirencester, it moved on 
with a velocity almost incredible ; and. ma~ 
king towards the basin of the canal, where 
it cid considerable damage, skirted the town, 
and entered Lord Bathurst’s park from the 
Tetbury toad, just above his Lordship’ $ man= 
sion. Here its ‘fury seemed to be at its height; 
for timber trees (some measuring from six to 
ten feet in girth) were torn up by the roots, 
whilst others were stript o: their branches, or 
literally cut asunder-—forming a scene of es 
Vastation very ravely witnessedinthis climate. 
After crossing the park, ic entered an orchard 
ot Bartun Farm, where it threw down severad 
trees, &c. and seemed to disperse, as it could 
no longer be: traced by the naked eye. Its 
Course might easily be traced, from the fallen | 
‘trees, &c which lined each side, completely 
in a withered and burnt state Large branches 
of trees were carried toa very considerable dis- 
tance; and hay-fieids, where the grass had been 
cutdown, were nearly stripped of their crops.
