FLINT CHORAL SOCIETY CONCERT.-The annual conceit of the above society took place on Tuesday evening, the 31st ult., in the New National School Rooms, upon which occasion the choir very creditably maintained its well earned popularity. This year's concert presented an additional feature of attraction to its predecessors, the Choral Society being assisted by the recently established Band, and consequently the evening's entertainment was more varied by the intro- duction of instrumental music. The attendane aa usual was very numerous, ani comprised the elite of the sur- rounding neighbourhood. WREXHAM.—CHARGE OF STABBING.—At the County Maeistrates' Court on Monday, Job Roberts appeared on discharge of his bail on the charge of inflicting bo- dily injuries on Edward Kendrick.

The case occupied the court for a considerable time, and was finally ended by ordering the defendant to pay a fine of £5 and coats.

The Service was read by the HeY. J. Prichard, Capel Garmon, and a suitable discourse deliveied by the Rev. J. Morgan, Yspytty, from Proverbs, vi. 6, 7, 8. On their return they ad. journed to the VoeUs Arms Hotel, where an excellent dinner was provided by Ni is. Jones.

HOI.YWRLL (JNIOV.—A letter was read from the Privy Council Office requesting the Hoard to ascertain from the medical officers of this Union, and inform their Lordships, whether diptheria is now prevalent in any part of the Union, and if so, in what part, and to what ntenl. In reply to the above, a letter was received from Mr. James Williams, to the effect that he had met with only cne case in his district, which might be properly called diptheria. The scarlelina and ulcerated sore throat had been very prevalent. On the aame subject a letter was rend from Nlr. E. T. Hughes, Mold, stating that there is at present one case of diptheria in the Mold district under treatment. It is the only one that has occurred in the neighbourhood, within his knowledge. The subject of it is a young girl, daughter of a gentle. nan's butler living in the township uf Gwysaney, where, ts regard. local treatment, there ia nothing likely to generate the disease. LLANRHAIADR-*N-MOCHHANT.—THUNDBR STORM.— This town and locality were visited on Tuesday evening last with a most terrific thunder storm and lightning, accompanied by very heavy showers of rain. It was remarkably sultry throughout the afternoon but about seven o'clock, the atmosphere became obviously dense, and heavily charged with electricity, which began to discharge itself at about half-past eight, in vivid sparks and tolling noise, but not however in rapid succession nntil a little after nine, when the phenomena became awful. The" artillery of heaven" flashing a oouble atruk of forked and dmling fluid the ponderous thunder with its astounding vibration, shaking the solid eaith, and startling the brute an well the sentient being, with fear; and the vesicular clouds emitting their humid contents in impetuous torrents of water. Pro- videntially, not much destruction was made in this parish; but we hear that many parties have suffered 10 sse. wore or less in Llangedwin and the vicinal parishes. THE LATB STORM.—We have received from several correspondents descriptive accounts of the very awful thunder storm with which out neighbourhood was visi- ted on the 30th ult. At Lixwm, in the pariah of Ysceif- iog, a fatal accident occured, and from what we have heard of it, we glean the following particulars. It ap- pears that at about two o'clock in the afternoon, the Rev. Daniel Davies retired to his bedroom, telling his wife that he was going !o rest a little. Soon afterwards there came a flash of lightning which nearly suffocated Mrs. Davies, and caused her to go out into the open air. When she bad recovered a little, her tIltention was ar. rested by seeing the bedroom window, containing 24 panes, smashed to pieces. She at once ran to the room, where she found l er husband 13ing dead on the floor, having, no doubt, been killed by the aame ftalh, which 00 stunned Mrs. Duties, hi..houl<ler being much burnt. An inquest was held the same day, before Peter Parry, Ksq,, coroner, and a verdict was given in accordance with the above fact. At Northop also, the storm was Inelely felt. A gigantic oak Iree, standing on Gttlchog Farm, was struck by the lightning and rent into innu- merable atoms, the greatest part oftlie tree was so liter- ally cut np, that the Jragments were no larger than a lucifer LUtch. WREXHAM INFIHMARY AND DISPBNSARY.—The twenty sixth annual meeting of the friends and sub- Bcribem of this excellent charity was held at the Institu- tion on Fiiday. In consequence of the unavoidable absence of the president, Sir H. U. Cunlitfe, Burt., C.H., Acton Park, the chair was occupied by Michael Humble, E*q., of Gw<rsylU Hall. The attendance wan pretty good. From the report which was pre- sented, we find that upwards of 1,900 persons have been attended to by the medical staff (who kin lly render their services gratuitously) during the past year, of which 34 were those of in-door patients. From the statement of accounts, it appears that the income from ordinary sources during the year was increased by the sum of £2 3.. over that of the previous Jeer, and 111 additiop to this a legacy of LIOU has been received from the executors of the late Miss Rowland, of the Bryn, Ruabon, a laily who for A length of time took much interest in the charity. The report was unanimously adopted. Owing to rather unpleasant anonymous let- ten which have recently appeared in the local papers, respecting the management of the institution, the com- mittee submitted to the meeting a resolution embodying the following alterations and additions to the general rules, which, after a warm discussion, were adopted viz :-I- The house surgeon shall be responsible for all matteis connected with the medical department of the institution." And 81,0, That the house surgeon shall be appointed by the general committee, arul no peison shall be eligible whose name is not on the medical registrar, and who shall not have seut his testimonials for examination by the medical board," The other usual resolutions were afterwards put and carried unanimously, and a very efficient working com- mittee appointed. WHLSHPOOL.—On Tueediy evening a very violent thunderstorm visited this neighbourhood. 8ucce..Ye peals of thuuder continuing at internals, accompanied Tith torrend of rain through the w hole night, till be- twe-n five and six o'clock on Wedneeday morning, when it ceastd. It is reported that a ierj fine bullock, belonging to Mr. Higgitis, the Wern, via struck dead b, the electric fluid.
