In Tome inflances his humour was rather too dry, but th e tout eV - mks of his per formance was very refpeetable, and what is very defirable, it has the merit of poffeffing many novel and certainly not unpleafing features.

The topic of converfation here, for the laft tiree days, has been on the fubjed of the Lord Nelfon packet having been nearly loft on the rocks off Birchington, during the form which raged on Friday night. The following narrative will ex plain the caufes, &c. 4i The Rofe in June, and the Lord Nelfon,failed from the Pier on Ft iday morning, about eight, wind S. W. by S. a brine gale. On board the for mer veffel were about eight paffengers, and in the latter fifty. In going out, the Rofe in June (ruck againft the Pier-head, but was got off without ma terial injury ; her fails were quickly unfurled, and (he fcudded rapidly before the wind. The Nelfon followed. When the latter got off Birchington, *the wind changed, and after repeated tacks, lofing ground every moment, we cant anchor at twelve o'clock at noon, waiting the return of the tide.— Towards the'evening we again got under weigh, bat fudden fqualls of wind came on, which en creafed every moment. About fix. o'clock the fky prefaged a form, attended by a very heavy fwell from the offing. A few minutes after, in making one of the larboard tacks, a tempeftunus gale fprung up, which, in a moment, rent the inainfail to pieces, from top to bottom. Horror reigned in every countenance ; the feamen were too bufy to anfwer quellions, and the heaving of the lead denoted we were again coming to anchor. No other alternative remained, the wind being in our teeth. The form encreafed. In this fate we remained feveral hours, the waves continually de luging the deck, and, in running off, poured in torrents down into the cabin, where the greater part of the paffengers were affembled, more dead than alive, from ftcknefs and fright. A thick fog encircled the 'hip, which, added to the darknefs of the night, had a dreadful etre& on the minds of thofe who remained on deck. Things remained in this fate till midnight : the tempt ft increafing, the howling of the wind, and the clothing of the waves, were fufficient to appal the ftouteft heart. The horror of the fcene was augmented about one o'clock by the breaking of the cable ; we then gave ourfelves up for loft, expeaing nothing but defiruelion by being driven into the North Sea.— Happily the Captain difpelled all apprehenfions of that kind by declaring he had a good bower an chor on board. By this means we got moored in fate harbourage, previous to which twice the keel of the chip grated over the rocks. The form con tinued through the remainder of the night, during which time the bow and the fern of the veffel were alternately buried in the deep. About fix o'clock the dawn appeared, and loon after a heavy form of rain fell, which defcended with fuch vio lence and rapidity, as to beggar all defcription. The deluge lofted till eight o'clock, when our ter rors were once mere abated by a total ceffation of the warring of the elements. A calm fucceeded ; but our fears were not completely over till we got fare back into Margate Pier, which was about ten o'clock on Saturday morning, after being abfent z 6 hours at lea (during which time we had only got four miles on our way), zo of which were pal. fed at anchor. When we got into the harbour, boats put off to take the paffengers on fhore; and, although the wind had abated, the turf continued as violent as ever : the boatmen could not land at Mitchener's Stairs; but were obliged to rouflzeir . delbended in torrents on our landing, the Pier and the Parade were thronged by peonie to welcome us on our fafe arrival. .The alarm of our dang!e was given the preceding night, and h , ats were in readtnefs to to out ; but the fweilimg Ind, and the dangerous inuation we wet in, not being above three cables length from .he pl ice lcb l rp,thz co r n boy was lott in November lalt, rendeted every at tempt too ham dons, an.l the plan wal abartdoned. Many of the inhabitants who retitled vlar the Pier did not retire to ref t the whole night ; and two of the inns were kept open, it. expatat ion that ho.lts were out to attempt the bringing ..:hore the pac. fengers : the whole night, however, pafre.l o%er without any endeavours being made to launch the boats."

We ate concerned to (late an accident Which happened on Wednefilay night, between fevcn and eight o'clock, at the Weft ?ndia Docks. We here fubjoin a Letter from the Secretary of the Directors of the Weft India Dock Company, containing an account, as ordered to be laid bet* td the Public by the Directors, of an accident which occurred to the South Wall of the Limehnine Ba• fon of the Docks on Wedriefday evening, between feveu and eight o'clock, a fhort time after high water, when about 150 yards-of the South Wall of the Limehoufe Bafon was broken entirely down, and the water with the greatei impetuo(ity forced itfelf over that fide of the Bafon in a torrent that alarmed all the people in the neighboinhood for the fafety of their cattle, (keep, &c. which were grazing in the Kirfhes, and which, had the in• un.datinn continued, mull have inevitably been deltroyed. _ _ This accident was occafloned by the wall of the Bafon At the Weft fide of the Docks in Limehoufe not having been carried to a sufficient height to guard againft the overwhelming power of a fpring tide, which on that evening was in its fulleft flood, and which with an Eafterly wind had occafioned fuch an amazing rife of water as to over flow the bank not yet walled up ; and by lodging in (*ltch an immenfe body at the back of the wall which in clofes the bafon, and which was alfo intended to form the entrance of the fecond Dock, that, on the tide ebbing, the weight of water at the back of th:, wall forced it in one prodigious ruin into the bacon, carrying with it feveral fhip loads of large flones, which were placed there for the workmen to pro ceed upon. Fortunately, however, while it was threatening devaftation, PROVIDENCE feemed to in terpofe, and it flopped in its tremendous career he fore it had formed acompleat channel for itfellover the bank, and here we have every reafon to hope it will flop, as upwards of zOOO workmen were em. ployed all yefterday in adding to the height if the wall. The great Dock, in which are upwards of 14.0 fail of (hipping, was not in the leaf injured by theilccident: and only two or three fhips have been hauled into the Eailernmoft bafon. Every praife is due to Mr. Komi., the Marfh Bailiff, and to Mr. WALKI'it the Dock Agent, for their promptitude in calling in a fufficient num ber of workmen to preferve the Ifle of Dogs from a complete inundation.
