Asea embankment was last year raised by 
James Stockdale, and Richard Towers, esqrs. 
upon Cartmel Sands, in this county, three 
milesin length, ten“feet high, and 73 feet 
base, by which they have inclosed 500 acres- 
of marsh from-the sea, 100 acres of which 
they have sown this year with oats, and 
which are a remarkably fine crop. That 
part whichis pastured, since the tide is taken 
off it, feeds cattle beyond all expectation. 
It is to be hoped that those who are possessed 
of similar property, will follew their praise- 
worthy example. Mr. Henry Harrison, of 
Chester, executed the embankment, and is 
now employed ina large undertaking of the 
same kind, on the river Eden, near Bowness.

ning on the 3d of August. The poor man 
was, with.a fellow workman, collecting gravel 
in the river Yarrow, near Chorley, and 
during a violent thunder storm took shelter 
under an oak tree. Almost instantly after 
he had taken his stand, the lightning struck 
the top of the tree, which served as a con-. 
ductor down to a nail driven therein, on- 
which a bag was hung, containing provisions, 
and imimediately under it the man stood. The 
lightning left the nail, passed through the 
bag to the left temple of the man, and burnt 
the hair from that side of his head. , He was 
instantly hurled lifeless some yards ‘from 
the spot. Half his hat and part of his 
clothes were torn off. A small branch at the 
top of the tree was broken, the bark near the - 
nail perforated, and thé meat and bag were 
dashed to atoms, .
