LATE GALE& TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. PLYMOUTH, Nov. 2i. In addition to the melancholy particulars which I gave you in my letter last night, I have only to add, that this morning the following ships were_ discovered ashore:—The John, of Bideford, from Leghorn, laden with silks, stranded in Talm Itiver, crew perished ; the Captain's wife found exceedingly ill in the cabin ; she was taken ashore, and every assistance has been ren dered her. The cargo of this ship will be saved. A large Dutch Indiamaa is gone to pieces in Whitsand Bay, and part of her crew perished. She was laden w ish coffee, very little of which has been secured. At Cawsand, trees and tiles are in great abun dance in Gentlemen's lawns, and in the lower streets of this town, wherein the water rose two feet, of course considerable damage has occurred to furniture and other valuables. Thele was a meeting at the Guildhall to-day, to enter into a sub s cription for the distressed seamen, and a handsome allowance will doubtless be made. A Gentleman, who came from the cliffs this morning, tells me, that outside the harbour's mouth the heaps of floating wreck are very numerous. The whole of the troops here are under arms, and really the Of ficers and men deserve our - warmestencomiums. P.S.—All the passengers are safe in lodgings. PORTSMOUTH. NOVEMBER 24. We have great pleasure in saying that no lives have been lost in the storm of yesterday, nor can we learn of any personal injury amongst those who were exposed to its ciftcts. In addition to the cases already named, we have to state, that his Majesty's .ships Bellerophon and Boyne, hi oke their moorings—the former di ifted against the mud, as it now appears that the Wellesley and her hulk also did, and the latter is since taken into the Basin in the Dock-yard. The Osiris, gailiot, for Bnurdeaux, also ran into the harbour and grounded on the mud, having lost all her anchors and cables. This latter vessel is not likely to suffer injury, as she grounded in a perfectly safe place, 49 ,1 will float with the tide. _ _ _ £he sloop William, for Seville, also came in with loss of anchors and cables. The Lady Arabella, which ran into the harbour, for want of anchors was obliged to run on the mad ; she is a sharp ship, and her cargo must be unit:Hi:led to prevent her falling over. The Coventry appears to be in the same state. Nothing could exceed the convenient situation at which the Shipley took the ground. The stores are actually hoisted by tackling from her yard-arm out of the hold of the vessel, and on upon the stage of the 5a11y...1301f. Two or three sentinels guard the place, and the landing is going on as regular, and with as little impediment as on ordinary importation. The Victory East Indiaman also lies on the Block house-point, so well protected that her cargo can be got out in safety. B ,th of these ships, when lightened, can, without doubt, be got off by a little labour, in re mo.:ing the shingle beach, when they will sink lower, and float with the ensusing spring tides. • It is doubtful whether this can be done with the Ma dras. In her exterior appearance she looks sound, but ner hold is full of water; this may, however, arise from partial leak that can be easily stopped. The Admi ral Berkeley we can give no hopes of. The Royal Clarence beautiful suite of Bathing-rooms have escaped the ravages of the elements, and the build ing remains unhurt. COWES, NOVEMBER 24. Arrived the Hamburgh ship Kate, Ctesswell, from Bahia, in fifty-six days, bound for Hamburgh, with loss of anchors, cables, sails, &c. on the 22d instant, spoke the Charier, of and for Hull, from Zante, off Sicily; and yesterday passed a Dutch galliot, with loss of mizen•mast, name unknown. The Twins pilot-boat, of this port, is come into har bour with considerable damage, windlass broken, boom, &c. while lying in Studland Bay. Yesterday, the Endeavour, of this port, parted from her anchors, and went on shore ; vessel totally lost, and very apprehensive of the crew. The Hero, of Southton, parted, went on shore on Christchurch-ledge, and is totally lost; and the Speedy, Jersey packet, belonging to Southampton, also parted, and has not been since seen. The Twins, in coming into the Needier, picked up Iwo casks of wine, and passed several boxes of oranges, ani large casks, supposed to contain brandy and wine, bnt being in so disabled a state, could not pick up any more; some vessel must have foundered near the Needles. It blew so hard yesterday, that no mail arrived or sailed from :he Island; an occurrence which has not happened befo:e for upwards of forty years. Monday, Mr. R. Stephens, tide-surveyor of -the Customs here, seized tuo casks of spirits, and in the evening eight mote casks. On his delivering to the Custom-house, this morning, the latter seizure, he rowed along the streets, and up to the Custom-house door, in his boat ; a thing never before witnessed by the oldest resident. The 1% hole town of East Cowes was completely inundated, and the High-street, in West Cowes also, being one of the highest tides for the last thirty years. SE AFOR D, NOVEMBER 24. The gale gale and tide began to assume a serious appear ance at ten A.M. and so sudden and rapid was its pro gress afterwards, that by one P.M. every building on the line of beach, except the Martello Tower, had ceased to exist, they having by that time become one mass of ruins. The ramparts of the fort entirely yielded to the fury of the waves, and the wreck only of one part of the Port-house now stands. It is past my humble ability to inform you particularly of the damage done; but all tie houses of the town fronting the sea have had their •oundations entirely sapped. One building, occupied by a carpenter, was entirely demolished. Many cottages that stood about a mile to the westward of the town, near a large flour-mill, have been washed away, and rro,t of the poor tenants of the same have lost their lit tle all. The occupants of the Fort house, consisting of two Ladies, Miss Borchards, Government tenants of it, the forvicceper, his wife, and four children, were rescued from their perilous situation by. the intrepid conduct of Mr. Darby, Midshipman, and three men of the Naval Blockade, in a boat, in performing which meritorious service, one of the men got his leg broke by the fall of a tivaii ; and Mr. Darby his right hand seriously bruised by being compressed for some time between two parts of the Fo7t-gate It is most sincerely hoped by the whole :own, who witnessed their daring and successful con duct, that, it possibie,•some adequate reward may be the result of i:. A large brig sunk in the Wing towards' evening, and all nands of course must have perished. :'here are the only accidents that have yet been beard of, except that all the cattle in the low lauds have perished. TAUNTON, NOVEMBER 24. A violent ttoim hum the sooth-west, accompanied with torrents of rain, visited this town ana neighbour hood on Monday night, and continued, with almost unabated fury, the whole of yesterday. The River Tone overflowed its banks, and the adjacent meadows were inundated. The waters at North Town accumu lated to the depth of several feet, so as to prevent the progress of foot passengers in that direction. Many houses we(e partially unroofed by the fury of the gale ; but we have not heard of any serious mischief having happened. The accounts from the coast and Channel must be everywhere contemplated with anxiety. The waters at Langport were distressingly high, and poured into and through the housts in the principal street with alarming rapidity. The Minehead mail could not pro ceed from this town on Tuesday night with any chance of accomplishing its journey, from the inundated state of the road. Great destruction has occurred among the orchards, parks, and grounds, of this neighbourhood, a considerable number of fruit trees and ornamental tim ber having been prostrated by the tempest. TUNBRIDGE WELLS, NOVEMBER es. One of the most tremendous storms of lightning and thunder, attended with hail, in the memory of the oldest inhabitant, visited this place and neighbourhood about eight o'clock on Sunday evening ; it lasted about an hour, and at one time the Heavens appeared one sheet' of flame. A female servant of Mrs. Mayo, Mount Ephraim, was sitting by the fire-side; a flash of light ning struck her and deprived her of sight, but the sight' of one of her eyes is restored. Mr. Overy, a farmer at Ramsligh Farm, was returning home from Grooms bridge; his horse took fright at the lightning, and bolted. He was thrown from his seat, and for some time hung in the stirrups; providentially he escaped from this dangerous situation without material injtiry. A youth was struck dead at Shipbourne, near Tunbridge. CHELTENHAM, NOVEMBER 24. The gale of Tuesday morning was_ attended with some destructive consequences. The balustrade in front of Mr. Thompson's Montpellier Pump Room, on each side of the Lion, were completely beaten in. The two upper stories of a house now erecting near the Bath Turnpike were blown down. On Colonel Reddell's grounds, near Wellington Cottage, a large elm tree was torn from the roots. CHICHESTER, NOVEMBER 23. Many chimnies are blown down here, and much in jury done to the house tops. We have this moment been informed that a large Indiaman- is blown ashore off Felpham. The agent for Lloyd's has just left here in a post chaise. We are told also that a young man was found drowned in a deep ditch, near the Barracks ; he had attached to him, by a sling, a pair of milk pails, and is supposed to have been blown into the ditch by the violence of the wind, and that being subject to fits, he was unable to extricate himself. EXETER, NOVEMBER 24. This City and its neighbourhood experienced, on Monday last, a most tremendous storm of rain, accom panied with thunder, lightning, and a high wind, which threw down trees, overturned stacks of chimnies, and did much other damage. The Rivers Exe, Culm, and Creedy, overflowed their banks, and upwards of three hundred sheep were swept away. At Exmouth,' Teignmouth, and Starcross much damage was done to the houses. DOVER, NOVEMBER 24. Monday night, a most tremendous hurricane of wind came on from the south-west (attended 'yesterday morning with lightning), and which continued _to rage with unabated fury the whole of yesterday and part of last night, which caused great havoc among our shingle and walks; to add to which we had the highest tide which has occurred for five years; and great fears were entertained for the safety of the bathing-houses. How ever, the flow was not so great this morning at high water, and the weather has fortunately now moderated. The accounts from all quarters are bad enough, and, though nothing serious has occurred at this port, they are not so lucky to the east and westward of us. In the gale, a brig went down off Margite, and all hands pe rished. An outward-bound West Indianian (the Glen don) went down at a moment's notice, yesterday, in the Downs, and only five hands out of seventeen saved ; at Hastings there is a vessel ashore, name unknown.— Dimchurch Wall has suffered much, being yesterday overflowed. A number of vehicles, of different-descrip tions, were yesterday blown over on Dover Castle and Folkstone hills. On the latter, a large caravan thew, coming to the fair at this place, was upset. Suoantax.—Sunday night, a French vessel, the Pe. lagie. Guiton, master, from Honflettr, in running for the harbour, drove to leeward, and grounded to the east ward of the Pier. The cargo, consisting of eggs aad apples, was rescued, but the vessel was completely wrecked the next tide. The pole placed on the tower of the church, with many chimneys, were levelled by its violence. The sea breaking over the beach, and inun dating the adjoining fields, presented an appearance truly awful. Much damage was likewise done by the river overflowing the banks. The light-house at the entrance of the harbour, and the store in which the cargo of the wrecked French vessel was deposited, were destroyed, and no part of the latter saved. The injury sustained by the ships in this port is very trifling. The sea came entirely over the beach in front of the town, so as to give the harbour the appearance of being the open sea, and great fears were at one time entertained for the safety of the town itself. The waves dashed with inconceivable violence over the piers at the en trance to the harbour, which were at times so much en veloped in the surf, as to be quite indescribable from the shore. We are happy to add, however; that they stood the shock without sustaining,the least injury. Two boys were drowned near the bridge; but we have not heard of any more lives being lost. RAMSGATE.—The consequences of the recent south erly gales have been tremendous on this part of the coast, and the harbour is at the present time occupied by upwards of three hundred sail of various descrip tions, many of which have been detained by contrary winds for several weeks. The rage of the disturbed ele ments reached its height on the night of Monday last, and a heavy gale blew throughout Tuesday; the effects that have come to our knowledge, and we fear they are but a small portion of the whole, are, that during that night the ship Diana, a Dutch Eat Indiaman, ran ashore on the Goodwin Sands, and in the morning went t 9 pieces, thirteen of the crew being engulphed in the de vouring element, and fire Captain, four seamen, and a boy only, were saved from the wreck. Hovs.—The unfortunate inhabitants of the cottages built on the north beach at Hove have suffered moss dreadfully, the sea beating over their dwellings Sir E. Kerrison most kindly sent down to Mr. Buckwell, at the Bun-house, a sum of money for their relief, which saved them from great misery. The families have been lodged in a bon, sadotha suitable places. i4IAkAL INTEitiGENCi Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Weymouth, dated yesterdays—" It is our painful ditty to report, that we have been visited by one or the Mott violent blot-rte.:nes ever remem bered on this coast. Nothing but ruin and devastation surround us. One large vessel, laden with rum, sugar, and cotton. came nn shore about three miles west of Portland, about twelve o'clock on Monday, and in five minutes not a vestige of her was to he seen. From a piece of linen tied firmly round the neck of a young man, stating that he was a passenger, the ship's name was Colville, and every person on board perished. Seventeen of the dead bottles are already thrown up by the sea. The Collector of the Customs his taken posaession of the goods saved from the Colville. on the ground that there are no papers to identify her. The Breakwater, and nearly the whole of the Esplanade, :.re washed away. The houses near the sea have four feet water on their basement." The Light-house on Penzance Pier, which is 30 tons, and 30 feet above high water-mark, was, during the gale on Tuesday, hove bodily front its ►ase, and nbw overhangs the Pier. The Colville, Witatoe, from Demerara to London, was totally lost near Weymouth, and all on board drowned. The Johannes Christiana, WeLt.s, from ltotterdam to Bout de"aux ; and the Two Sisters, from Malaga to ilamburgh, were to tally lost near Weymouth ; and three or four veasels, names un known, were totally lost on the North shore of the Bay on Tue , day. The Harmonic, PETERSON, (rem Surinam to Ha.nburet, is ..ts shore at Plymouth; cargo landing. The Happy Return, from Dublin to London, is lost near Padstow. The Jonge Rickard, and the Bastion, from Rotterdam to Lynn, are on shore near Brancaster. The Thomas and Jane, from Glasgow to Cork, is on shore near Wicklow. The Letitia, of St. John's, New Brunswick, h on shore at Dublin. The Elizabeth, BROWN ; and John and Elisabeth, are on shore near Shields. The BLONDE frigate, with the bodies of the late King and Queen of the Sandwich Islands, arrived at I%ladeira on ehe 1 Sth of Octo ber, and sailed on the 23d for Rio Janeiro and the Sandwich Islands. —His Majesty's ship Marmot:l.n arrived the same day from Ply mouth, and sailed on the 23d for the West Indira. His Maje.ty b ship VALOROUS arrived on the 3d of November from Plymouth ; sailed the next day for the West Indies. His Majesty's ship Bat ?abuser sailed from Madeira on the 14th ult. for the %Vest Indies. FALMOUTH, Nov. 24. —Wind W.S. W.—Off the port, the Bra ganza, CORNFET, from Cephalonin—sailed 3d October. Arrived the Desire, Ramer, from London; and Lovely Sally, WALTERS, from Newfoundland in eighteen days—the former was obliged to cut her second cable, after having parted her first, and run upon the mud ;—the latter was also obliged to cut, and drove on shore; neither of which have received any damage. The rest of the out ward bound, consisting of between thirty and forty sail, rode out the gale in perfect safety. Sailed the Zephyr packet, for the islands; Duke of Kent ditto, for Lisbon ; and the Camden ditto, fur Bue nos Ayres. PLYMOUTH, Nov. 24.—Wind W. quite moderate.—All the ves sels in the Sound have come Into Catwater, except the &neigh. The Thomson, dismasted in the Sound, has been towed into Cat water. The wrecks reported yesterday continue much in the same state, but this day being tolerably fine, every exertion is making to get out the cargoes and save the stores. The Nelson, of this port, with about thirty seamen of his Majesty's ship BRITANNIA, wrecked in Bigberry Bay, all on board are drowned; the John, of Bide ford, WILLS, all on board drowned, except the Captain's wife, who was saved ; the Harmonic, Prreasoe, six of the crew drowned ; the Percy, SAYERS, full of water; Richard, Witt.tawson, bottom completely out, and on the Rocks, the body of the ship floating by the buoyancy of the cargo, which it is expected will be saved, but much damaged. The Mary Ellen, Agnes, Margaret, and Scotia, likely to be got off; Retrench, in Mill Bay, much damaged. Poiersuouvo, Nov. 25.—Wind S. W.—The ships reported before on shore, still remain—their cargoes landing, much damaged.:Arrived the Swift, PAYNE, from Mogadore; Minerva, Vicente, from Ma laga; Eliza, Moms, from Smyrna; and the lido, Heenan, from St. Uhe's—all in distress.

GIBRALTAR, Nov. 4.—A frigate, said to be an Algerine, Was cruising off Cape St. Vincent's on the 30th ult. and it is reported that a Portuguese vessel had been captured by her. An Independent pri vateer was to the eastward a few days since, and captured several Spanish craft, some of which she destroyed, and others released.— She has since passed to the westward, and was off Cape Spartel on the 29th ult. PIRACY. FROM A PHILADELPHIA PAPER. lister/vim (Corm.) 0ct.12. The Captain and crew of the brig Henry-, be.o ging to this City, and lately captured by pirates, reached their homes last week. Although every arrival brings an account of new outrages committed by the bucca neers of the West Indies. yet it is only when they are inflicted upon our neighbours and personal acquaint ances, that brings the subject home to our feelings. —lt is with horror we contemplate the narrow hair breadth escape of Captain Rhodes and his men, who were every man of them to have been coolly murdered the morning after they were rescued by Captain Gra ham, of the British sloop of war. These men have all of them their wives and children, or parents, and bro thers and sisters, in this city and neighbourhood. One of them returned with his arm broken, by a blow with the back of a sword, another his cheek sliced down with a sabre, and all emaciated by starvation and thirst. The account given of these pirates by Captain Rhodes, is truly alarming to every one whose business may call him to adventure on those seas. They appear to be a well organised body of outlaws, countenanced, if not aided, by the Spanish Governments. The port where they were carried to was within six miles of Havannah, a city not much inferior to New York, and the seat of Government. It is impossible this establishment should have been under the very eye of the Government for more than two months without its connivance. Be. sides, the characters of these pirates strew them to be inhabitants of the Havannah, and to have associated with respectable society. Nothing but their cruelty and mode of life distinguishes them from the first men of that city. They are between twenty and thirty-five years of age, well dressed, temperate in drinking, and not uncivil in their language. This is a description of men not easily to be diverted from their money-making trade. They are unlike tho,e desperadoes whose intemperance and other vices would soon terminate by death. On the contrary, they are men of resources, careful of life, and when routed from one place can settle down unmolested in another, and at any time find a refuge under the regular Government of the island. While Captain Rhodes was unloading his mules, there came on board daily one or more men to purchase, who appeared regular bred merchants or planters. From these facts the conclusion is irresistible, that the Government of the island is privy to these out rages upon the law of nations and of all civilised society. The Government should be made responsible for them. Such were the sentiments of Capt. G. that on his return to Havannah with a long train of boats which had be longed to vessels burnt by the pirates, that he threat ened the Governor with making such a representation to the. British Government as would induce it to take possession of the island, unless a speedy check was put to these piracies. The last account from there was, that an embargo was laid at Havannah for three days to pre pare an expedition against these freebuoiers. ‘Ve hope this effort may be successful ; and if not, that our (1 vernment may send out all its disposale e naval for ce to occu.,y the ports and harbours infested by these mis creants, with or without the consent of the Spanish .Grovernmat. • SPUI(J:I is iiiitktiidEsvek BETTING-ROOM.

Yesterday there was an overflow of amateurs at the Fives' Court, which was as much produced by the general good feeling to wards Neale, for his acknowledged bravery and integrity, as the extreme interest excited to hear some particulars relative to the late fight. Rumours were afloat, and in many sporting houses confi. dently believed, that Josh Hudson had died of the effects of the fight; but the latest accounts say that he is in a fair way of reco very. lie has received less bodily injury than Cannon; but by some chance blows on the bead, accompanied with a naturally ple thoric habit, his head has been much affected, and nothing but co pions depletions have given a chance of recovery. Cannon did not show. Josh was expected at St. Alban's last night. Cannon will cross to Burderop Park. They are both on the mend. The sports of the day now commenced in the usual manner ; Gedsee and Lennox being selected as the most accomplished in manners, if not in science. The sailor boy (Jones) and Ready were qaite emulous of riv - 11- ling the achievements at Warwick, aid having fought once before without gloves, as a little variety, tried the effect of a fight with them. Ready was equally dis,atiafied with both experiments. Young Dutch Sam and young Be lasco set-to, and proved that Israelites, as well as Christians, may he warm, when the contro versy so materially depends on their strength of head: Shelton and Cooper.—This was a most manly set-to. They were both aware of having set-to before in a more formal manner, and Cooper being aware of Shelton's right hand s was extreuntiy cautious. There was no best about it. Harry Holt and Belasco made the best set-to of the day. The science of each is acknowledged, and notwithstanding the supe riority in the weight and length of Belasco, Harry had rather the advantage. _ _ The wind-up was between Jem Ward and Neale. The set-to considerably raised the character of Neale ; though opposed to such a man, he made him dread his right hand, and compelled him to be cautious in the display of his tactics. He had but little to boast of in the way of superiority. Neale returned thanks in a very honest, if not eloquent manner, and the company retired, many to drink, with much sincerity, better health to Josh. PEDESTRIANISM. Sutton, the Kentish Pedestrian, walked last week on the !ewer Bristol road, though exposed to the inclemency of the weather, the dl: ordered state of the road, the annoyance of travellers, Ste. 300 mi es in six successive days, without making one turn in the pet-. fotmance of this great undertaking, but repacing backwards his first mile, and so in succession, taking every second mile backwards, which he completed ten minutes before five o'clock on Saturday evening last, one hour and ten minutes within the given time. The powers of this pedestrian on the backward step are truly astonish ing, and he has engaged to perform an equally difficult task at Bath, next week ; besides which, he this day, during his training at Math, undertakes the following : to walk six miles and a half, to walk backwards four miles and a half, and to pick up 100 stones, placed a yard asunder, and bring them singly to a basket at the end of his walk (live miles and a half and 440 yards), in all nearly seventeen is two hours and forty:five minutes. This day the prisoners, who stand committed on charges of felony, were removed from the several jails in the City of London and County of Middlesex, to Newgate, preparatory to their standing their trials at the next Old Bailey Sessions, which► will commence on Thursday next, the 2d of December. The property of the unfortunate Mrs.Culliford, other. wise Donatty, whose dreadful murder excited such horror about three years since, has been divided, by direction of the Lords of the Treasury, between two females who declared themselves near of kin to her, and the relatives of the late Mr. Donatty, with whom she cohabited, and from whom she derived it at his death. An Inquest was held on the 19th, at Ickworth,Suffolk, on Robert Leader, a youth about 17 years old, whose death was occasioned by excessive eating and thinking.
