On the 19th of December, in a heavy gale, the ship Wil liam and Mary, Captain Moartata, of Shields, went on the Whitaker Sated. It was soon seen that the loss of the ship was inevitable. The long boat was, therefore, got afloat, and, while alongside the vessel, and with all possible expedition, the men.' banur.ocks and clothes were put into the boatohat the crew might quit the vessel. Unfortunately, by the swaddling of the Vessel, the long boat was caught under the main chains, and wax cut, by a lurch of the ship, down four strakes, when she sunk instantly, with four men in her. By a kind of Providence, the lour men were saved, and got into the vessel again; and the whole crew of seven persons (who had lost their all in the long boat) put off from the vessel in the jolly boat, which was only about 14 feet long. The sea was very high, and this boat very aura, and, to increase the confusion and dismay, although there were two oars in her, there were no thowles to be foinid (thowles are pins against which the oars are to work), and thus they were nearly quite adrift. They endeavoured to scull the boat with one oar, a work of no small baz trd and difficulty, in a lofty sea, and in the absence of daylight. Providentially they were per ceived by the smack Perth, of Perth, which bore up, and took the out of the boat. The Perth being bound to Scotland, they put these poor wet and destitute 3COrnen on board a fishing smack, which took them to Gravesend. Here they took to their boat, and pulled up, hungry, and • ,- ..rcely, by their few clothes, pro tected front the weather, to London, where they met with im mediate relief. TRADE WITH THE ISLAND OF CUBA. OFFICIAL INSTRUCTIONS REFERRING TO TILE NEW TARIVF COMMITTEE OF VIGILANCE, THEIR APPOINTMENT AND DUTIES. Art. 1. The four petems to be hereafter appointed for this Commission, under the Articles of the New Tariff, shall go on hoard every vessel entering this port in the Revenne-boat, ac companied by the Commandant, or Boarding Officer, and shall in concert with him order the batches to be fastened down and sealed, endeavouring at the same time to secure the bulk heads, ;are and aft ; they shall then order the Captains or Supercargoes vesEeli, whether Spanish or foreign, coming from a foreign oat, to deliver by duplicate a manifest of the whole cargo it bin twelve hours after their arrival, specifying the number of packages, the marks, numbers, and names of the consignees; and in case of fraud, concealment, or neglect, they shall be punished with all the rigour of the law. . The same formality shall be observed with national vessels, which, having sailed front a Spanish port, shall have put into or teushed at a fin eign port. .1. National vessels coming direct from Spanish ports are merely to deliver their clearance. 4. One of the two Manifests to be furnished by every Captain' shall be delivered to the Collector, and the other to the Gentle men of the Committee. The Second Blackheath Subscription Assembly, held at the Green Man, on Monday last, was fully and brilliantly attended. The ease and elegance of , upwards of two hundred Fashionables of that genteel neighbourhood joining in the merry dance, with the spirited alterations and improvements lately made by the .Proprietor of that Tavern, we trust will render the Blackheath Assemblies to be unrivalled. 5. In case any vessel has not the bulk head secured, and want of confidence be thereby produced, the Committee shall order the vessel to be hauled to the wharf and discharged without delay. 6. After the delivery of the Manifest, whenever strong suspi cions of fraud he entertained, the Committee, in concert with the Colleettir, shall order the immediate discharge of the vessels whether bound in or out. The greatest delicacy is, nevertheless, recommended to be observed respecting vessels outward-bound, as tbe exportation of our produce should be duly protected. 7. As it has been observed that the measures hitherto adopted have not at all diminished smuggling, it becomes necessary to establish, for the future, certain and invariable regulations,lt tenged with rigour and vigilance; end, for this reason, it is here recommended to the Committee, as the only means to suppress it, to cause vessels to be frequently unladen ; to be present at the enumeration of the goods and the comparison of the respec tive Manifests. ROYAL Box MOT.—A man in a public office at Sparta was guilty of many peculations and frauds, and being called openly a roue and scoundrel, he complained to ANECILAUS, his master, of these indig nities. " Sir," says the King, "my subjects are plain men in their speech, and call all things by their right names." Louts the FOVRTEENTH gave this advice to an Ambassador—" Sir, pursue a conduct totally the re verse of your predecessor."—" Sire," replied the Gen tleman, " I will so demean myself that you shall not give the same advice to my successor." A Pair:ca.—When the Prince of had gone through his course of education, a favourite servant of his Highness was asked in what part of education the Prince most excelled ?" In horsemanship," re plied the domestic," for his horses never flattered him." Count TRACEY, complaining to FOOTE that a man had ruined his character—" So much the better," re lied the wit, " for it was a d—d bad one, and the sooner destroyed, the more to your advantage." A person entering the House of Commons when the Rump Parliament was sitting, exclaimed," These are goodly gentlemen ; I could work for them all my life for nothing." , " What trade are you, my good friend ?" said one of the Members.—" I am a rope maker !" replied the other. A tall preacher said, scoffingly, to a short one, " When in the pulpit, you look like a collar of brawn in a dish."-" And you (replied the other) like a pestle in a mortar !" _ S. On ordering a vessel to be discharged, she shall be brought to the wharf without loss of time, and shall be unladen with the greatest dispatch, by labourers employed on account of the pub lic revenue, and, should the Committee think proper to leave on board a confidential person, they can do so. 9. As it is feared that the Captains of vessels will come to an understanding with some Commercial Houses in this City, in order to evade these regulations, and, by laying at the mouth of the harbour, smuggle their cargoes on shore, and then escape, the Committee will, whenever a vessel is in sight of the Moro #sunset, take measures to prevent the clandestine batting of goods and merchandize. A regular physician having been sent for by a maker of universal specifics, grand salutariums, &c. expressed his surprise at being called in on an occa sion apparently so trifling. •' Not so trifling neither," - replied the quack, " for, to tell you the truth, I have by mistake taken some of my own pills." CaostwELL's BON D.—Colonel Borth, who had been one of King CHARLES the Ffitsz's Judges, died a day or two before Caoistwitu., and it was strongly re ported every where that the Protector was dead. " No (said a Gentleman, who knew betteq, he has only given Bond w the qevil, for his future appearance." In consequence of the interest which the Lord Chancellor CAMDEN took in the behalf of Mr. ‘l . t LK ES, be became so popular that the Parishioners of Chisle huist (where he resided), in the zenith of their pa triotism;made him a present of ten acres of common, on which the avenue leading to the seat now•stands. His Lordship, who was a very early riser, was the first to discover, in one of his morning walks, that a poor widow who resided on the common had all her geese stolen the preceding night, and accidentally meeting a labourer going to work, and thinking from being wrapred up in his great coat that he was un known to the man, inquired of him respecting the geese, and asked him if he knew what punishment would be inflicted on the offender who stole Me geese from the common? The man answered " No."— " Why then I will tell you," said his Lordship, 4 4 he would be transported for seven years." "If that is the case," replied the labourer, • I will thank your Lordship to tell me what punishment the law would inflict on the man who sole the common from the ovese?" A WOULD-BE BIGAMIST.—Mr. Lawson, formerly Minister of Kirkmahoc, near Dumfries, was a most worthy and respectable character, and much beloved by all the country round, but more particularly by his own parishioners. Once, about a Martin mas Term, a farmer's servant in the Parish, a foolish young fellow, called on him, and told him he had a great mind to get married, Very well, John,' said he, g there is nothing wrong in that.— Who is the happy woman you are going to make your wife ? 'Oh ! Sir,' said the lam rather at a loss just now, and called upon you to give me advice in my present difficulty. There are two young women whom I love nearly alike; one of them I would p - refer a little—and only a - very little—to the other : now, what I would ask of you, Sir, is this—might not I marry them both ?' That,' said Mr. Lawson, ' according to the law of this country, is no: allowable ; but do you think both of them are willing to take you for a husband ?*••• 4 0 yes,' said he, I think lam pretty sure of that?— ' Very well,' said the Minister, marry the one you like best as soon as convenient, and in two or three months after you may come to me, and I will see what can be done about getting you the other also. That was done accordingly ; but for a long time afterwards there was no word from John. At last it happened, on a beautiful day in the month of April following, that Mr. Lawson met his old acquaintance in a narrow lane, driving a cart loaded with hay. — The lad barely touched his hat, and wished to push on. Stop, stop, John,' said tha Minister, I wish to speak with you.'•••• 4 What do you want, Sir ?' said John, rather tartly.—' Oh,' said Mr. Lawson, ' you never came back to consult me about what you spoke of some time ag:i.'—' What was that?' said John, very, hastily.—' 0, said the good man ' • you were to speak about taking another wife.'—' Another wife, Sir !' cried he ; 0 sad ! 0 sad ! I wish you-would rather loose me from the one you tied me to ; will you just stop a moment, and see what shins she has made me with kicking,' and began to loosen down his stocking, in great haste. " H nu t ,hout, John," cried the Minis , ter, " we'll see-these another time:" and so rode off, fully satisfied that John thought one wife was enough, and rather too much for him.— M' Vitie's Anecdotist. 10. In consequence of the facility with which false invlfices are obtained, it being notorious that the original ones are seldom delivered to the Custom House according to the regulation, and that at the same time they are only a shackle on commerce, said regulation shall henceforward be suspended, and instead of the original invoice, there shall be required a signed statement, de tailing the articles shipped on account of. or consigned to each merchant, which shall be delivered within hours after the :rival of the vessel. H. As it frequently happens that consignees do not receive letters of advice and monies, and are consequently unable to deliver to the Custom-House the statements mentioned in the preceding Article ; in this case, and all others where the quality and quantity of the goods be not exactly described, the Com mittee shall order the immediate landing of said goods, and ac companying them to the Custom- House stores, attended by the consignee, shall deliver them to the storekeeper. Mr. CANNING arrived at the Palace, at Brighton, on Monday, and had the honour of dining with his MAJESTY. The Marquis and Marchioness of BATH, the Earl and Countess of Waftwicx, Lord .101 m TowssuENci, and Mr. GREENWOOD, were also in cluded in the Royal Dinner Party. The additional company in the evening included the Earl or Ux ntionms, Lord EINGIIANP, Colonel CAVENDISH, COI. LNOON, Mr. Dc Itoos, and the Hon. Mr. UFroN, of ?the Life Guards; Lord \V.

" Dr. Syntax," after making the tour of every Library, public or private, as an octavo, has set out on a new excursion in the incognito of a 12nro. and as he possesses all the attractions which formerly gave him a welcome wherever he went, we doubt not but that in :his present garb he will be equally acceptable. Indeed, we think muchpraise is due to Mr. ACKER MANN, for publishing "Dr. Syntax's four in search of the Picturesque," at a price which places it within the reach of ;tll classes. The Engravings have all the spirit of the original Edition. It was said of a man who married a very great beauty, but whose character was much blown upon, that in this match, when he opened his eyes, he had shut his ears ! Saturday night, about eight o'clock, a hare was seen running along George's-street, in Edinburgh, from the west, pursued by a number of dogs, of every species. The poor animal squatted down be hind a lamp-post, in Castle-street, where it was taken without resistance, by a person passing, and died, seemingly with frig ht , a few minutes alter. Saturday night last, at a late hour, a party of keepers, on the estate of Mr. WADDINGTON, of Caven ham, Suffolk, encountered in their rounds, a gang of poachers, who instantly fired, and discharged a volley at the keepers, who returned the fire, and closed upon the marauders. There were nine of the poachers, and ten of the keepers. A desperate conflict ensued, which terminated by six of the former being secured and conveyed to jail. Some severe injuries have been sustained on both sides, but none likely to lead to fatal results. Saturday last, Major Rostsrsow, a gentleman well known in the fashionable circles at Brighton, met with a fatal accident at Kingston, is Surrey, by the overturning of his gig. The Major was so severely injured, that he expired in a few hours. The London and Edinburgh mail coach, in its journey northward on Tuesday morning last, was thrown over near Thirsk, in consequence of the scrapings of the road having improperly been left in heaps, which had become hard frozen. With one of these heaps, the wheels of the coach came in con tact, and so the accident happened. The guard was severely hurt in the back; the coachman and a gentle man who was the only passenger, escaped unhurt. The ice-houses at Newcastle were provided with their winter stock o,a Saturday and Monday last, when the frost was so intense as to stop the navigation of part of the Tyne above bridge; and if it had con tinued much longer, would have given the keelmen an involuntary extension of their holydays. Fortu nately, a change occurred on Tuesday, and the navi gation has since been free. A Gentleman at Cranbrook, on Friday, the 13th instant, had a large turnip brought to his house, as a present, and which he conceived to be intended as a joke, but on making an opening into it, he had the pleasure of finding two brace of partridges, and a couple of rabbits, packed in the inside of it. An apple -tree, furnished with leaves and fruit, known by the name of French Codlins, and as large as a chesnut, is now to be seen in the neighbourhood of Brighton. A dish of green peas, grown in the garden belong ing to 'Mr. SMITH, draper, situate at Crooks-moor, Sheffield, were gathered on Thursday se Knight. In Sir CHARLES ooLes garden, near Winchester, strawberries, French beans, cucumbers, and aspara gus, may now be seen in the highest state of perfection. Tuesday morning, at the Mains factory, near Car lisle, a woman, named Foulton, was dangerously wounded in the face by a leaden ball from a small cannon, fired by a boy about fifteen years of age. The lead entered her forehead between her eyes, and for some time her life was considered in great peril; but she is now somewhat recovered, though still in danger of losing an eye. Wednesday, as John Mountain, of Shelley, and his two sons were at work in a coal-pit there, the roof gave way, and buried all the three under the fallen rubbish. After a continued labour of seven hours the two young men were extricated from their peril ous situation, without having received much injury; but the father was found a lifeless corpse. Extract of a letter from New Orleans, dated No vember 2:—" Since I wrote to you last the fever and black vomit have, if possible, raged with augmented violence, and have been more deadly in their effects, baffling the skill of the most eminent physicians; n hole families have been swept away in the course of a few days, and in several cases absolute visible mortification has taken place before life has been ex tinct; such is the dreadful putrifying state of the air at this place. The atmosphere is one mass of infec. tion. Still, notwithstanding this, you see no alarm, no apprehension for the consequences. As soon as the-breath is out of the body of a person, he or she is placed in a ready made coffin, hurried off to the grave, and when covered, you hear nothing more.! Death, in fact, has completely lost its terrors, and business is totally at a stand. The fever•continues in Pensacola ; but as that place has lost nearly all its American population, there - 2re but few subjects left.., Some French and Spaniards have died, and their children, generally speaking, have f allen vict i ms. The principal part of those wilts are preserved consis t of those individuals who fled to the wood s for safety.' SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SicUT, AT CABLISLE. Meadoy, tile . 13d int; as desperate a battle as ever nook plee in the prize ring, was fought neer this city for. logs. a-side, and a puree of ,El 5, between Mile (the vanquished but brafe on permit of the once Milehreted Taw Ridley) and one Coition, a candidate foe Taste in Ms hosing annals. The parties work It the Carlisle Canal, modare the minim o 1 rite Land of Potatoes. Early in the niorining all Carlisle was in motion, eager to learn the plata of wanting. and like a ponderous. cloud rolled down to the Map of She theist, alias the Head-quarter% for' the lovers of science, the lendkird of which is Ms swim in the arte Here a Council was held to determine where the day's sport should begin, when, to the consternation of the assembled Mul titude, Gribbon ;hewed a while fusilier, and " the fight's off," became the cry of hundreds. At length Jobs Drtrieseera supplied the courage that Nature bad denied bins--be agreed to fight, and said "le would bale his man ninety I", An adjournment took place to the Denton llolme k and the 'dog was immediately made-24 feet, half-minute time. • On enterinptise ring, 14 1 Kie three up his tile, and stuck his sisclala'e a foot deep, with a blue bird s-eye handkerchief tied .to Gribboti followed his example, and placed a yellow hand kerchief, 4-1.-Pelcker, upon M'Kie'a. On peelsttg, the men appeared well matched, about 13 stone each, and both in prime cdisdition from six week'i hard training. Tiro Amateurs of the city were the seconds.-41 to 4 on'Al 4 Kie. .Round 1. All were in breathless expectation to see who drew the first danct.—Cautious sparring. Gribbin, at length planted a right-hand hit at M`Kie's fourth button-hole, which made him stagger, but he soon returned and put in a lugger, which set matters even. A rally commenced, and for two minutes no thing but downright ',unlit& was the order of the day. In the close, 111 1 Kie down undermost.—Gribbon bleeding at the neippeUs 2. Both men came forward eager to commence operations, wl:en °ribbon stopped 111•Kie's right hand, and returned with the left on the mug, which levelled him.-5 to 4 on Gribbon. 3. M'Kie came to the screeds as if determined to pay his ad versary off fur this compliment, and made play both right and left, which took effect. Ills opponent was not idle, and put in some smart facers, one of which cut one of 11I.Kie's blinkers dreadfully, but a lounging hit from him in return knocked his opponent down, who could scarcely come to time. 4,5, 6. These rounds were at no effect; M'Kie following his adversary round the ring, who fought nn the defensive to recover himself. 7. Gribbon hit 11I‘Kie on the bread-basket, which sounded like an empty cask': bnt M.Kie shewed he bad something in it by casting up his accounts instantly. A rally took place after wards, in which M'Kie had the best. and fbored his man by a flush hit on the temple. 5t04 on M' kie. 8 and 9, were punishing rounds en both sides—Victory seemed in favour of each. In a trial of strength, Gribben had the fall. 10. Never was a better round fought by men—they hit each other to a stand still; returned to the charge, and each hit his adversary until tired of using his fist. Neure appeared exhausted, and they both fell without a hlow.—Even betting. 11. 111•Kie rushed upon Gribbon at the commencement of this round, and bored him round the ring—by chance he hit Gribbon on the short rib, which doubled him up in a moment. 12th and last round.—Gribbon could scarcely stand to the scratch, but did all his nature would allow him, endeavouring to turn the scale, but to no effect—N.l'Kit! hit him upon the left che e k, which was cut to the bone : it floored poor Gribbon, who could not come to time. M•Kie was carried off the ground amidst the loud cheering of upwards of 4,000 spectators. FIGHT EXTRAORDINARY. JOSHUA HUDSON AND WELLS Till BATH MAL-It bad been whispered about in the sporting circles, that a gala from Bath had arrived in London to take the shine out of some of the fistic heroes of the London ring. Josh and the new candidate for fighting fame fell in with each other on Tuesday night, at a jo vial party, when after plenty of chaffing, Josh became jealous of a rival, and off he died his loggery, and gave the Bath man a punch on the head, which he was too good to take quietly. The parties retired to a chosen spot, peeled, and turned to.-- Harry Holt seconded Josh, and Mason the Bath man. A merry battle of 35 minutes followed, although neither of the men were in right condition. Josh, in his usual bull.dog form, went up to his adversary's head, and dealt out punishment ; but he found in Wells a man not easy to be shook off. Josh was parried and returned upon, and both went down. 2. Josh led in this routhi, but he was thrown a heavy cross buttock. _ _ . _ _ _ -.----- The next four rounds produced something like equal fighting, both proving high-couraged ones. The claret bustled about freely, and the men got tired. Josh was thrown heavily again at the end of the 6th round, and lamed in the knee. 7. Josh went limping to the scratch and hit away under great disadvantages, but he was too good to funk. He placed a rat tling facer on his adversary, who threw him, and that seemed at this stage of the fight to be his aim. In the 10th round the gallant Josh managed to reduce victory to a tolerable certainty: He rattled away, and did smart exe cution. It was Newgate to a scout leen. 11 and.l2. Josh had his work to do, and he was thrown hea vily in the last of these rounds. The 13th finished the business; Josh hit his adversary on the mark where the remains of two pounds of solid had been de posited-4nd he gave in. • The fight was for pure love and glory, and Hudson won it under great disadvantages. PI DF.STRIANISM. WilLiamilP3fulkis, a celebrated pedestrian, who is under six teen years of age, on Tuesday last undertook to walk 30 miles its six hours, on the turnpike road between Darlington and Croft, which he performed one minute within the time. Mr. R. AIIgSNILTHY, the pedestrian, started at one o'clock yesterday morning, to go front Park-lane to Newbury, and re turn, 112 miles. in 28 hours. Ile reached Hounslow at Y quay ter before three o'clock, and was at ?daidenhead Bridge, 26 miles, at six o'clock. He passed through l'wyford, 34 miles, at eight o'clock. The pedestrian travels alone, and is desirous of avoiding public gaze. Life Captain BA aciasy, his object is to ascertain his powers, rather than for money. This undertaking is for ten sovereigns. A man named Jahn Brown, a native of Salisbury, about 40 years of age, having betted a wager of XI that he would perform 64 miles in 12 successive hours, undertook the task on Friday, and started at half past four o'clock in the morning, from the Pheasant public-house in that city, to the distance of a measured mile on the road to Old Sarum. He went the first two miles in Ili minutes, and accomplished the whole task in two minute, and a half within the time, that is, a little before half past four in the afternoon. lie allowed himself hut a very few minutes for refreshment during hia arduous task (running the far greater part of it), and at its conclusion he appeared not much distressed by fatigue. He declined going to bed, sat down, drat:it, sung part of a song, and smoked a pipe for half an hour, by which time the effect of the exertion in his limbs was such that he could not walk home. A considerable number of persons were assembled to witness this very great task, and a small subscrip tion was made for Brown. He is a well made man, and runs with remarkable ease and lightness. It is thought by many per sons that he could perform 70 miles in 13 hours. A man named Townsend, on Monday week, for the sake of what he could get of the lookers-an, walked the space of 21 miles backwards, in five hours and a half ! The ground he chose was from the middle of Devizes Green to the btidge on the Lon don rosy—a quarter of a mile distance. The time he allowed himself was six hours, but he accomplished his task in five hour% and a half. PETERSHAM counstNG MEETING. MATCHES TOIL FU TEED GUINEAS EACH. Capt.
