The violent thunder storm of the 28th July was felt with great severity in this County. At Reasby, it began before ten o'clock with violent wind and hail. The stones were remarkably large; many winflow frames have been beaten in by them at Reasby, Syston, Thrussington, and Hoby, and fields of corn totally destroyed. At two o'clock on the following morning a shock of an earthquake was felt at the first-mentioned place, and a man named Thomas Kelby was found dead in the morning on the road near Queenborough. On the whole, this storm is pronounced to be the most fatal that ever was experienced in that part of the country in the memory of man. It directed i's destructive course about a mile in width, quite into the vale of Belvoir.-About fifty acres of wheat (a most beautiful crop, be: longing to a gentleman of Thrussington) was o completely destroyed that not a bason full of ears remaining could be collected, and the 183 stems were battered as if passed through a thrashing machine. Many tenants in that neighbourhood may be considered as almost ruined by the dreadful havoc which it has occasioned. By the union just completed between the Grand Union and Grand Junction Canals, a direct communication by water from London through Leicester to Nottingham and Cromford is obtained.

The contrivance consists simply of a belt of tin fastened round the stack about a foot from the ground. It has been tried by many farmeis, and found to answer to the fullest extent possible. Mr. Etheridge stated that he had given it a successful trial on a stack 27 yards in circumference; the expense of the belt was 11. 48. a trifling sum compared with the amount of the damage usually sustained by these destructive vermin.-Mr. Harvey, of Wortwell, spoke highly in favour of the plan; and added, that a belt of four inches answers the best, (which should be painted) and keeps out mice as well as rats.

From a paragraph in the Nottingham Gazette, it appears that the loyal sentiments and spirited observations of its conductor have given great offence 10 some of the same breed of animals who, about 20 years since, made bonfires in that town of all the bibles they could collect, around which they danced in joyous exultation. A party of them lately assembled, and with great ceremony committed a copy of the above-mentioned paper to the flames. This reminds us of the singular method which the Irish, some years since, adopted to mark their aversion to John Claudius Beresford, the banker, of Dublin, by burning all the notes of his house which they could lay their hands on.

The weaver was placed on his stand between 8 and o o'clock, and, as soon as he had woven a sufficient quantity of cloth for a coat, it was given to the tuller, thon to the dyer, taken to a place to be dried, brought to the tailers, and made by them, during the procession, into a coat, and actually worn by Mr. Hancock, at dinner. The cloth made in this town is of a coarse quality, otherwise a coat could not have been woven, dyed, and made, during a procession which began to form at 9 o'clock, and ended precisely at one; but the expedition with which the attempt was perfected is truly surprising, and is very crecitable to the skill and indus [Sept. 1, Births.] At Pennard House, the lady of G.
