After post, yesterday, passed this place the home- ward-bound Baltic fleet, under convoy of several men of war, which proceeded for the Downs, except the STANDARD and VANGUARD, which came into St. Ni cholas Gatt at dead low water, and at which time the wind blowing a gale from the East, set the STANDARD on the tail r Corton sand, where she struck, and re mained about seven minutes, when she got off with very little damage—she makes only about two inches water in an hour.• The VANGUARD, 74 guns, came in without touching, she having kept more to the North ward. They have, this morning, landed several bags of letters from the fleet.

REMAIIKABLIS RLSTORATIOV OF SICILIT.-Mr. Pun xfs, oilman, of Chancery-lane, has a son who has at tained his 26th year, who had been blind from in fancy. Several oculists in London had been applied to, but they all pronounced it impossible for him to obtain his sight. He WAS brought up to the musical profession, and had attained considerable eminence on the organ and double flageolet. About two months since a gentleman from the country saw him, and undertook to restore his sight. At the first operation he saw sufficient with his right eye to distinguish a jug, and a candlestick on the table ; also a chandelier on a piano-forte, but he could not tell what any of them were till he felt them. The gentleman being in London but for a few days, Mr. Purkis, jun. went to his residence in the country, where, after three operations, he has obtained his sight in both eyes.— He expresses the greatest surprise at the difference of the faces of • persons. He is now at Exeter, where the professors and amateurs got up a Concert for ins benefit last Friday. which was attended by about 500 persons. He is visited by persons from a considcrabie distance, to hold conrctlatum with him. drYItRAL ItURRIENCY AS USTbilt. Wheat, 635. 78s. 90s. Beans, iSs. 545. Floe di- to r 945, 974.
