Of Wrdmtdnt ninht. the infant.
Not only the several shells of houses,
but houses which hail been slightly built
in th- vicinity of the metropolis, were lev
• lied to the ground, particularly in th<
es»t. Trees in St. James' park were blown
down, houses were unroofed during the
atorm. soil chimney pots were laden in
■Imosl every direction. Considerable da
mage has hern done to the shipping in the
river; Several of the mail coaches did
tint arrive till two hours beyond their time,
and many of the heavy coaches were four
hours later than usual. Upwards of 2
ewt. of lead was Mown from the roof ol
Surgeons* hall, Lincoln Vino-fields. Dur
ing the prevalence of the storm, the w*li
ol tlie old building on the eastern title ol
the avenue to.the Waterloo bridge camt
down with n terrible crash.
At lih’f-pavt ten o'clock, at Mr. Kin
na'd, the magistrate, was sitting in his
bark parlour, in HuM'orii, with Mrs. Kip
tiaril add his two daughters, a stack ni
e'liimiies Ml in u|mii them. They had
fu,t a moments time, and a moment only
for escape The chair in which Mr. Kin
tiard was sitting was broken into sliivei
ns well as the fl.iji of the table on which he
was leaning The assistant also, who wss
sitting in the.counting house, narrowly e
e.ij-'ul with his life. We are happy to find
that nime nl *h« family are actually injtii
cil What makes (be above case very re

Between half-past ten and clever
oV!nek,the following occurmee took plan
Si the hurtse of I,uly Hayes, Somerset
street: The servants had just sat down to
•upper when the door bell rang. The foot
nnin ro-e for the purpose of opening it, but
had proceeded only a short distance along
the passage, when he was alarmed by
loud crash resembling that of the falling ot
a h else, lie instantly ran back, but wa
unable in proceed farther than the end til
the passage; for wir e: the ki'.chnii now
atoml but n moment before, was now om
mass ol ruin*. Three of the female ser
vants could not be found. After, sunn
time the body of Mary Mauutie, the cook
was taken out, the head dashed to attains
sod toe body greatly disfigured; she wa
quite dead. The bodies of the house maid
and laundry inaid were also .lug out, most
d-. 'gernusly bruised. One nail k Pr Ihigi
broken, and was burnt about the should*!-,
the other was much worae hurt, but hail no
li nb frnctered The kitchen of lady
II i ves was in the yard, at the back of th
dwelling h»u<e, anil in the rear of this
again Stood 'Calomel-buddings. A wall
Inti been raised to the height ol about six-
tv leet, for the pu<posr of preventing thell
ami blocking the ominuiiication between
Calttmel-buildiiigs anil the houses in Snni-
ersvt-street. In the course of the evening
the wind shifted, anil blew along Calomel
buildings full agiii:i«t the wall, which at
length f. II in. and by its weight bore down
the roof of the kitchen Bart of the leads
fell against the wall.-but in that situation,
that a.iy person under it, although unable
to "Xlrirate -hcmsclves might respire.—
This was the situation in which tin- nous
maid and laundress were; but having fai-
ieo it the li-e-place, were rxpi^tftl to 111,
tno-t no ml torture from the heat. The
laijje beam t-.at supported the kitchen ami

WHIRLWIND.
A curious, scene of confusion took place
in St. Paul’* church-yard, about noon, on
Saturday. Many person* were, at the
time, quietly passing anil repassing about
their respective avocations, when, as if bv
magir. ill was in an instant uproar anil
cnnfu ",u. Several persons were once
seen prostrate on the pavement, whilst
hats, umbrellas, bonnets, books, etc. were
whirling about in air ill all directions, in
ter min sled with an immeno, ijudtilitj of
flowers of almost every hue and descrij
non, supplied tiom the stock of a poor at
Iki :l florist, who in a few seconds before
was carrying several boxes of them on his
head The coacheS in waiting were all
moved several yauls from their stations
anil a post boy who was thrown duwn-ab
solutely rolled away before tbe wind for
a considerable distance, like a wbisp of
straw. One umbrella was carried by the
wind nearly to the roof of the cathedral
and literally shivered toaloms as it flew.
HAIL STORM.
Hie neighbourhood of St. Arstcll, Corn
wall, was visited by one of the most viu
len* hail-storm, ever felt in that country
on Friday se’mglit. It came from sea, a
gainst the wind, being driven by an upper
current ufatr over Black-heath point; tak
ing a X. \V. direction; and extending two
miles in breadth. Many of the hail stones
measured two inches and a half in circum-
f-rencc; they lay on the ground to the
Itptli of six inches; but near the hedg> s
and in low places, they were three feet in
'leptli.

On the night of Sunday gmd Monday, a
musket, appeared to. have been fired in the
fehanipg Elysees, behind the duke of Wel
lington’s lintel, persons immediately re
paired to the ceutinel placed atthe garden,
ami after various questions, the soldier
leclared that he had been attacked by sev
eral -individuals, who endeavoured to in
troduce tlu msclves into the hotel, and that
me of them had even violently injured him.
Lord Wellington being immediately ap-
rrtsed of this event, gave orders that 100
Vanes should be sent to the soldier; bul
he man being compelled, alter a long ex-
Aininatiou, to acknowledge that every
lung he had fist stated was a fable, and
hat lie had fired the musket through fear

that there lias btfn no widely spread trait,

where the deigns of the disifleeted were

2d.—Because in suchastate of things si
consolingly described bj .the committee,
and so almost ludicVousy destructive in
every idea of-an armed lebeH.iiih, or ila
gerous insurrection, nio're especially
gainst a g tvernment supported by'such a
untainted people, and such an until in

wise policy to have been pursued, and i ia

lection end speedy execution of a few pal
pable offenders, rather than -delayed pro
eeediugs agaisnt numbers upon doubtiul
testimony, that invest tne courts of justice
with a salutary terror and force. •
3d.—Because the departure from this
just and judicious moue of proceeding,

respect. v t •
4th—Because even wltipn tlie act ol.lia

count ought to be apprehended up»u ques
tionable suspicion, or, to use tiie laiiguiigi
of the report, upon “such expectations ot
evidence as minister* have unavoidably
-eiiiiq'uislied,” but upou such grounds on-
y as would be just warrants for arrest and
trials in ordinary times, the only legal ef
fect of the suspension being that' it sus
pend* {he deliverance of the accused; we
think, therefore, that a general indemnity
for tuck numerous and Iqng imprisonments
uglit not even to have been proposed to
parliament, until an-open aud impartial
uvustigation had taken place.
5th.——Because, Irom the mistaken prin
ciple ot this bill, malicious and uieritorous
illegality are equally protected, on tin
false and unfounded assumption that iin-
lormatious ought to be indiscriminately
and perpetually secrefct, but even if we
could agree that whilst traitorous conspi
racies are actually iu force, and extraor
dinary.power* are iu action lor their sup
pression, secrecy could in all case* b -jus
tified, yet we never could consent to its
continuance after order wa* restored; the
laws being then sufficient to protect good
subjects for having honestly, discharged
their duties, and because HolUiug out such
general prospects of indemnity is a dan
gerous encouragement to mecenary inlor-
tnert, who make an imlamou* truftic iu the
lives and liberties of mankind, deceiving
aud disgracing the government, whilst they
betray the innocent whom they accuse.
6th.—Because it is not the occasional
resort, to such secret and impure sources
of evidence in cases of obvious necessity,
hut the systematic encouragement of it,
which we conceive is sanctioned by thii
bill that we protest aga'iut and condemn,
since the successful prosecutions of the
worst of traitoisand libeller* can bring'no
secur'dr to the government of this coun
try, unless the conductof .it* ministers aud

The following extract of a letter from
Algiers, dated Feb. 6, prove* the truth of
all which iiaa been said, relating to that go
vernment.
We have teen in the German papers that
the Swedish government has resolved to
preventtlie Barbary Corsairs from penetra
ting into the northern seas: the navigation
of which-have always been free. It is.de-
sireable that this may prove true, but we
have reason to believe that theproliibition
will never be carried into effect, on the
part of Sweden. The consuls of foreign
powers enjoy litre little of the security
and consideration which they are entitled
to.
On the 20th of March, the l’Odcon, the
principal theatre in Paris took fire, and in
two hours from its being discovered, was
totally destroyed. The l’Odcon was situ
ated on an isolated eminence, with spacious
avenues leading to ir, which together with
the circumsta*ic£S.of a light wind and rain,
occurring at the time happily prevented a
more extensive devastation. The walla
of the Salic de Spectacles, successfully
resisted the immense heat, and the appart-
ments coiitigous to the theatre was pre
served.
Five dead bodies were found in the ruins,
and several of the firemen were badly
wounded. A thief with some valuable ar-
cles, being discovered and pursued by the
guard, threw himself from the galleries in
to the flames.
The principal part of the wardrobe of
the actors which was ol great value, w.as
consumed. Numerous subscriptions were
making for the actors arid rebuilding the
theatre, It is not understood in what way
the fire was communicated. 1
The old theatre l’Odcon, wa* burnt
down the 18th of March 1799.
