A letter from Shoreham, (In Suffer) dated S 4 tember 9, fays.---o During the . whote of lan night, and molt part of this day, the weather has been ex ceeJingly 'unfavourable. About two in the morning we experienced fome thunder, and it rained inceffant. ly from that hour, till about two P. M. accompanierl, during all that time, with a molt violent wenerly wind. It is (aid, that npnn Sunday, during the vio lent gale, a fmuggling lugger from Guernfey was (metier. by which accident eight men were drowned, and rto calks of fpirits loft. 'No other loggers of l i a firnilar defcription were within fight at the time of this fatal catafirophe, but fortunately efcaped the violence of the norm, and reached Brighton; with out having it in their power to render the fmalleft alliance. This event occurred out of fight of land, but it is Paid the lugger has been fince dikovered at tea, bottom upward,. The filhermen are upon the look out for Come of the calks, which they are in hourly expeeation of feeing fl oiting upon the fea.-- A collier, lying upon the beach at Brighton, alto (of-1 feted confiderably in her bottom and rudder, and it is thought cannot be got off until next fpring tide." The following is an extraft of a letter from Dover, dated September 9.--g This day, about noon, it blew a Itrong gale from the S. S. W. A foreign (hip, a merchantman, about three leagues from fhore made gnals of diftrefs, when a pilot boat put off , fi with four men on board ; they had jult cleared the harbour, when a flidden (quail upfet the boat, and they were immerfed in the waves, but immediate of finance being given, they were all brought fafe on (bore, and other boats put off to the afEltance of the veffel in dinners, and were (ten to board her. It has rained inceffantly the whole of this day, with a high wind and hidden fqualls." A letter from Leith, dated September a. Rates as follows :•••." On Saturday evening the wind fuddenly veered to the eau, when a violent gale commenced, which continued without intermiflion till Sunday evening, With very heavy rain. " About four o'clock yefterday morning, the brig Mary, of Irvine, Dunlop matter, from Eafdale, laden with Rates, in taking Leith harbour, was, from the rapidity of the frelh, occafioned by the heavy rain during the nigh, forced out of the harbour, after the had fairly entered it, and, by the heavy lea, unfor tunately driven afhore about the middle of the North wall of the new harbour. The veffel being bilged, no attempt was made to get her off, but to fave fuch of the Materials as could be eafily taken away ; and the gale increafing, on the return of the following tide, The became a complete wreck, being entirely beaten to pieces. The tide of yefterday morning was uncommonly high, which, with the violence of the wind, and very - heavy lea, did confiderable damage. A great quantity of large timber, drawn up in ap parent fafety on the beach, to the eaftward of the pier, was floated off by the tide, and having collefted near the font of the fignal tower, was by the flux and tenor of the fwtll operated upon like fo many batter ing-rams, and driven with fo much force, that tome confiderable breaches have been made on that un commonly !hong wall on which the tower is founded, betides come of the adjoining buildings being very much injured. So great was the force of the 11)4,, thawfome very heavy pieces of timber were preeipi tated elver the parapet wall between the pier and• the tower, and depolited in the tireet oppofite the Ferry Boat Stairs. " To the weftward of the new harbour the furf rolled in with accumulating force, and beat with loch violence againft the high wall to the eaftward of the fort, that, whether from the return of the immenfe quantity of water forced over the wall, or from the weight of the furf on the outlide of it, two large gaps or openings have been made near the lower part of the wall, one about the middle, and another near the call end of it, which has rendered the pavement dole to the wall above impaffable, by making two very wide gullies down to the bottom of it. The violence of the gale occafioned the greater part of the (hips in Leith Reads to drive, and one brig came fo near the (bore as to be thought in im minent danger. By the active exertions of the Ma. gilirates, the Matters, and feveral Members of the l'finity Houle, and other Gentlemen of the town, the life boat was conveyed on a carriage from Leith to Newhaven, and launched at that place, from whence it went off in great fafety to the affinance of the brig. But the wind (hitting, and conliderably abating, the rad was not confidered to be longer in danger, when the lite boat returned, and was hauled up again on the beach at Newhaven. A great quantity of timber has been fwept away from Leith Mills by the flood, and confiderable damage done at other places higher up the river. All the rivers in the neighbourhood were much fwelled." IN UNDATION s.—Owini to the inceffant rain which commenced in Dublin on Friday fe'nnight, and which continued till Monday laft, immenfe mifchief has en- Cued. Among other innances, the Royal Canal bur ft near Maynooth, and overflowed the country to a con fiderable extent. Several Rage coaches have been (wept away, and the paffengers drowned; three large trees in the New Gardens, Rutland ((pare, have been torn up by the roots, and feveral chimnies have been blown down. We are forry to add, that, on Sunday LA, the flood, about the village of Chapeliznd, (un mounted the battlements,of the bridge. A hackney coach, with fix infide palreagers, through the temerity of the driver, attempted to pats, when the coach and patTengers were cart ied completely over the parapet wall, where the coach upfct and inftantly filled, and all miferably periflied. The flood in the Liffey was immenfe, and from the quantity of hay cock., Sm. obfet ved to be (wept down the torrent, we fear that the country has received confiderable damage. Anumber of hooks in the neighbourhood of Bally. bough have been itiondated, and a little colony of labouring people, at a place called Mud Ifland, inter mediate between Summer-hill and the North Strand, were moAcalarnitouflovifited, and on Mrtadaya rum. her of men were employed in cutting canals to carry off the water. Old Lallybough bridge was totally covered, and gingles were throughout the whole of Stiuday employed in conveying paffengers from one ilde to the other. The rain on Saturday was accompanied by a violent gale, which broke Come of the oldeft trees in Lord Charlemont's demelne, and tore up many others by the roots in that vicinity. It is feared that confiderable damage has been fufained at lea; ON each a collier, we litnent.to hear, Went down dar ing the night between the Pigeon bottle. and Black Rock. It is afilffling to Hate, th:tt of twelve per fonb who were cn boaril, not one of them was laved. A letter from.

On Saturday morning, a heavy rain commenced in Newcaltle and its neighbourhood, which continued brithout intermiffion till midnight. The river Tyne, on Sunday, was confequently much fwollen, and large quintities of grain in the Meal, which had been (wept off the low grounds contiguous to the River, floated do*n pad the town. In confequence of incelfant heavy rain fromnine o'clock on Saturday night tiU eight o'cloekon Sunday night, the River Clyde, at Glaignw, rote to a greater height than it has attained fince the New Bridge was carried off, near 12 Years ago. The whole of the Bridgegate was flooded, and the water advanced a cnnfiderable way up Jamaica ftreet, the Stockwell, and the Salt market. The bridges being inacceffible by foot pafrengers, carts regularly plied at the foot of Jamaica ftreet and Stockwell. Two archei of the. ' New Bridge over the Clyde, near Hamilton, on the road betwixt that town and Edinburgh, fell on Sun day ; and the damage done to the harvell on the low grounds along the River mutt have been very great, as large quantities of corn and hay, and Conte cattle, have floated pall that city. A young man in a boat, near the Clyde Iron Works, and a young man at Peatbog, attempting to fecure fonts of the floating grain, unfTtunately loft their lives.

Drury•lane Theatre will open on Thurfday next ; and to give eclat to the commencement of the feafon, Mrs. JORDAN will make her appearance in a favourite comedy. The pinting and gilding before the curtain has been retouched, and the whole has a very gay and elegant appearance. The under circle of private boxes have been extended by the addition cf 'two, which tender that part of the Theatre more uniform than heretof.ire, and the parapets nearly make afemi circle uniformly to the extrenlity of the pit. • Be hind thi-eurtain their is an axtra frontifpiece, anion diftance ham the original, which is admirably calcu lated to preferve the Ulion of the Drama, as it will prevent the awkward •circumftance that too often occurred, of feetog the fcess-fllifters when mewing the 'Cenral'. The entrances to the pit have been much improved, by attaching to each a lobby. The different alterations prevented the Theatre from opening on Saturday next, but they will be completed by Thurfday..

A Coroner's Inquefl was held, on Wednefdar, on the body of Robert Hibberd, who met with his death by the following fingular accident :—On Tuefday evening he was corking a phial filled with fpirits of wine, which burls, and the contents flew over a firrock frock, which, being a labmiring •man, he wore i he, however, took no notice of' it to his family, but in about a quarter of an hour took a candle and went up (lairs to bed ; by Come means the flame oft the candle touched the fleeve of his frock, and he was in an inftant completely enveloped in flames ; before afiiiiance could be procured, he was fo much burnt that he expired in great agony. The Jury, upon hearing ,the circumstances of the cafe, of courfe, brought in a verdia 4—Accidental Death. Yelierday as a Smithfield thepherd was driving a flock of (beep down Little Britain, fome of them got under carts, and other vehicles collated there, and would not proceed. Thii irritated their gentle guar dian, who.abfolutely forced out with his Rick, the eye of one of them. A countryman, feated in his cart, who faw the inhumanity of the drover, called him a favage rafcal, and threatened to ferve him the fame, when a battle enfued, which laßed 15 minutes, during which the countryman doled the eyes of his antagonift, and gave him fo fevere a beating, to the gratification of all prcfent, that he could not Rand ; •nd the theep were conducted to their place of dab. nation by another perfon. A gentleman who wit. neffed the affair, gave the Countryman a dollar as a reward for his conduit. An unfortuaate accident occutred on Thnrfday afternoon. As the men were employed in unb ading tome very heavy (tones from a waggon, at the build. ing erected for the refidence yf the Paymatter General, next the Army Pay Office, a (tone near 5 cwr. flipped fuddenly, and crufhed the legs and feet of two of the labourers dreadfully.

'BRicirrom, kr*. 'l,l3fl"' This day the Company were amnfed . F.e-e by the refomption of the fport, on the Race HAL Fou r ponies flatted for the (takes of cell guineas e.ach, heats; the New Courfe, about a mile an-I three qu trters. ' Mr. ShotibridFe's mare Columbine, was the favou• rite, the odds being three to ohe na her at Ilartim,r. Columbine took the lead, and kept i• until within a Acne's call of home, when the mare of Mr. Dockery. called Windier l ady, paired her in high style, and won the heat. The odds now altered to four to one on arindAr Lady. The honks at length again flailed, and Columbine toot the lead. All four honks were fo dole toge ther, after they had run the fill mile, that a sheet would have covered them. Within a quarter of a mile of the winning poll Windier Lady and t;olunaine left the others behind, and the grand pull) was made. I t was won by nearly a length by the former. Between the two heats a match was decided be twlen a poney of Mr. Pack, and another belonging to a perfon who lets p..nies for hire, of the name of Rich, which was w eafily by that of the latter.--. At the end of this race a difpute occurred, in conic qnence of the boy who rode the winning• bode not returning to the Ratting poll before he difmounted. It was, however, given in at tall, that, as the honks slier& io carry catch weight, there was no necetlity for the boy to attend to that particular etiquette of the turf, and which at firth had been only adopted to prove, by having recourfe to the scales, that the riders returned with the fame weight that they went out with. Therefore, as the riders in this inflame were not weighed before Ranting, there was no occafion for that ceremony afterwards. Much confufion, however, prevailed on the Hill for tome time. The Race Down, on this occation, had a very buliling appearance. We have ken let's company there on a tegular race day. As many as eight or ten barouches and four were prefent, filled with No bility, betides chariots, poll chalks, phaetons, cur. rides, whificies, tandems, and equetirians and pedef trians beyond number. The Races were announced to commence at half pall one, but the barrel did not Rart for the firfl heat until near four o'clock. It was very late before the Ivirts were over, and many of the gees de condiiion had not patience to wait till tke conclution. Had the Stand been open, Come pounds would have been taken, but it was riot expeeted that the Hill would have been fo nnmeroufly vilited. Bow•sTaaer.—On Thurfday G. Palmer, a forter of letters, in'the General Poll Office, was charged with Healing a 401. bank note, from a letter in the Poft Office, and yofipio Inman, with receiving the fame. It appeared that a letter was put into the Poft Office, with a 401. bank note in it, direeted to a per. fon at Oskhampton, on the sth of Augull, and ought to have arrived at that place on tre 7th, but not coming .to hand, information was given at the Poll Office,iand the Agents fent a defcription of the note to the Bank, where it was &covered that it had been paid In on the 7th of Augult, and liz 51. and five al. notes.given in exchange for it. On examining the indorfement, and the hand writing of the (otters on duty on the sth of Anglia, fufpicion fell upon the priforter, in confequence of which Mr. Parkin, the Solicitor to the Poll Office, and the officers, went to his lodgings, in Took's Court, Curfitor•tireet, and took him into cuflody. Inman was with him, who they likewife took into cultody : and it appeared that three of the 51. notes which had been paid by the Bank, in exchange for the 401. he paid to Mr. Ste venton, in the Strand. Palmer declared his inno cence in the molt pofitive terms, and Signed the ac count he gave with a deal of compofore. Inman Hated, that on the 3d or 4th of Auguß, as he was on his way to Covent Garden market, to pur. chafe vegetables, in Burlington Gardens, he picked up a twilled piece of paper, which he fuppofed con tained thread or tape, but on opening it he difco vered four 51. bank notes, three of which he paid to Mr. Steventern. He Paid he had known Palmer about a year . and a half ; and he was in Palmer's apartments, for the purpofe of taking up a green cloth to clean it. Mr. Parkin !old him that it was impollible his ac count could be true, as he Paid he found the notes on the sd or oh of Almon, whereas they were not iffued from the Bask till the 7th ; he however per-. lifted in his ftatement, and figned it with firmnef,.--. He was committed for further examination, to New Prifon, and Palmer to the Houfe of Correaion. • gam Methn was charged with (leafing two pocket books and thefr contents. On Tuefday afternoon, a gentleman wbo was palling through Holborn, ob ferved the prifoner, and feveral others, following a country gentleman, which they continued to do till he got to the gateway of an inn, where he was turn ing in ; when they !milled him, and one of them took his pocket book out of his coat pocket ; the villain put it under his arm behind him, and it was taken by another of the gang, and they all made off; the gentleman watched them into a public hotife in Gate ftreet, and then gave information at Bnw•ltreet. Limberick and Blackman, in consequence, went to the public houfe, where they found the prifoner, and feveral other pickpockets, and on him was found two pocket books, one of them with fome valuable papers ; the other, fuppoled to be the one (totem from the gentleman in Holborn, containing feveral Bank note., and fome cafh.
