The late Edmund Burke, so well known in New York fifteen years ago, as connected with journalism, was a native of Buenos Ayres. He repeatedly told us that in that city, in the memory of man, no accident to life or property had happened from lightning or hurricane — though the region round about was most subject to storms. The cathedral bell was a marvellous one in power and Bweetness ; and there was always a watchman in the tower, part of whose duty it was to look out for threatening clouds, and to ring on the bell a change that was meant to call to prayer against lightning and tempest.— -iV.
