Last week several windows were blown in •at St. Peter's Barrack, and slates swept away to a considerable dis tance. On Thursday, the 10 instant, the brig the Queen, of Leith, from Falmouth to the Canaries, en- tered the road of St. Helier's. She was forced from the English coast by the violence of the storm that raged from Saturday till Tuesday. A little after' twelve o'clock on that day, she saw amongst the rocks (Roches Doevres) the wreck of, a vessel, on which were five men, whom she fortunately saved. The vessel wrecked is the ketch- Pleasant Hill, of London, of 91 tons, bound from Seville to London, with a cargo of fruit. On Monday., of Plymouth, she shipped many heavy seas, that carried away her boat and swept every thing from the deck : one of the men was washed overboard and drowned.

At six o'clock this evening, there were several vivid flashei of lightning, followed by the distant rolling of thunder. On Thursday. ai l one o'clock, P. td. the brig Catherine, of this place, from Tobago, in ballast, anchored in the road. The sate of the weather was such, that the Captain (Ramon) sent ashore to Mr. Elie Doren. the owner, tor a pilot to be sent. In the mean time the wind rose so high, that the Captain was obliged to cut away two anchors and endeavoor to get to the pier to avoid those dangerous rocks Les • Henitrieres. After great exertions, and in the greatest danger, at ten at night, she gOt near the pier, when the water failed. In that perilous situation, four young men of respectable families in St. Helier's, at eleven o'clock, hearing of the destruction that threatened the Catherine, left their friends, with whom they *ere at 'tapper, ran to the pied and took a boat and a hawser to try, and fasten the vessel to the buoy. Their generous effarts bad the effect of partly saving the vessel ; but in the act of throwing in the rope, a violent sea upset their boat. Mr. Itosignoll and two others were most unfortunately drowned: the fourth was with difficulty saved. • On tba lab the Providence, Campbell, of North fiblaldit, was wrecked at Frossweck, in the soonhara part of Shodand.

We remarked the uncommonly good appearance of these ships. A very exact mils. tary discipline, a perfect kaowledge of naval affairs and of navigation, appeared in every thing. Their spring-locks combined ease and simplicity, and instant effect, and were equally admirable in their firesarms and in pistols, and multiplied their discharges at plea sure. The exercise, activity, and readiness of cheer mariners, and their perfect acquaintance with every' thing, were observed not without surprise and wo' der, and do honour to the nation to which they be.• long. Their vessels were well found, fast sailors, ant; as neat as they were well built. Soon atter the visiti of the fleet, anchored in our port a brig from Aim. rice, of a most beautiful consteuctii•u. elegantly • found, very light, Ind formed for fast-sailing, coati strutted and armed like our light armed vessels. It was named the Cleopatra, belonging to a very rich'- 1 traveller, George Crowninthield, of Salem, who con.' strutted her for his own use, and for the voyages he had undcrtaken• with Captain Crowinsliteld.— Besides the extreanesneatness of every thing ab.int the vessel to fit her for sea, hin. accommodAtioos were surprising and wonderful. Below was a hall et un. common extent, in which the luxury of tame, the* * riches and elegance of the furniiiir. the harmony of the drapery, and of all the ornaments, implied plea sure and gallantry. The apartment of the stern was equally rich and interesting. Five cusivenient bed, * chambers, displayed with the sa.i.e elegance, were at the service of the Captain, with ass apartment for the plate of every kind, with which it was filled. —Near was another apartment, which admitted all the offices of a kitchen, and in it was a pump with three tubes which passed through the vessel, to supply water from the sea, or discharge wh at t h ey p l eased, with the greatest ease. The • icls d.stitiguisi le d owner , bad with him, besides his family servants, severa l linguists, persons of high talents in m une , an d an ex. cellent painter. Every thing to amus e ma k es part of the daily entertainment. The o wner an d Capt i in were affable and civil, and gave a f u ll ev i dence of the talents, the industry, and the goo d taste of thCe union,, which yields to none in good s e n se an d tine civility. The above travellers flaying complied with the usual rules of the Ci t y, and having ex- • pressed the due respect to the Ap osto l ica l D elegate, upon receiving a particular i nv i tat i on , h e visited the Cleopatra in company with many pers .. ns of diatioC tion, and partook of an elega n t col l at i on.
