Petersfield and its neighbourhood was visited, on Thursday last, by one of the most violent storms of thunder, lightning, and hail, that has been witnessed in that vicinity for some years; it was remarked that in one part of the storm, for the space of 20 minutes, the thunder was incessant, resembling a distant and unintermission for a single instant, the rain and hail poured down at intervals in torrents; and in the neighbourhood of Sheet and Liss, the hail stones measured from three to five inches in circumference, and such was the quantity which fell, that although the temperature was high and the air sultry, whole cart loads were lying on the ground even on the following morning. The roof of the Green House, was literally smashed, scarcely a frame being left unbroken. Some potatoes which had been dug up in the morning, but left on the ground, in a field near Liss, were broken to pieces, and the fragments scattered in all directions.
