FALL OF A THUNDERBOLT.

During a storm which bnrst over London recently, a very peculiar phenomenon was witnessed atKilburn. Three peals of tbnnder were heard in rapid succes- j Bion, and with the last a sheet of liquid I fire seemed to fall into Bridge-street. The' thoroughfare, for some fifty yards, seemed to be completely in flames, and a material similar to molten lead descended, which, on reaching the ground, coagulated. A child named Frost, who was going from one house to another, was struck with some of the liquid, and had her bead severely burned. Tho fireball then struck a telegraph wire which passes over the street, completely fusing it for a distance of £00 yards. The shock also broke p, number of windows in the house adjoiniog the postoffice, to which the wire was attached. For something like ten minutes after the fall of tho thunderbolt the whole neighbourhood was enveloped in a bluo und yellow smoke. The greatest consternation prevailed at Kilburn for Borne hours after the occurrence, which tobk ; place about five minutes past 8.
