It appears that the uncle did not forget his poor relation while living; for he w rete a number of k tiers to the nephew itt question, which did not come to hand, and it is suspected they were intercepted by a designing servant. The uncle, however, left a will, bequenOing the estate to his nephew, the poor wea. ver, provided he claimed it within six months after his death; and, in case of his failing to claim it within that time, the estate to go to the servant, 1%110 is suspected of having inter epted the letters. The will, being of a novel nature, became the subject of tonrenation ; and so it happened, that two trasellers at an inn in Bolton, were conversing upon the subject at the time the poor weaver was in the house, and within hearimr of their con versation; and he knowing that he had a rich uncle, although he knew not where to find him, soon learned that the deceased person was his uncle, anti inal , left him the estate; he, in con sequence, communicated the cirrumstance to some friends, who undertook to see into the business, and he proved to be just within the time limited in the will to put in his claim.

Templar, Esq. of Stover, near Teigumouth, which were to be sailed for on Tuesday last, induced the Rev. Mr. Buller, of Saltash, and Mr. Baker, of mouth, to become candidates fur the first prize.

They had proceeded as far as the Bolt Head, when they were overtaken by a most tremendous squall, accompanied with heavy rain, which lasted nearly hall an hour. At this time Mr. Buller's boat was near two miles a-head, and from the thickness cif the storm, t ould not be discerned ; but on its subsiding, being soli inyisible, Mr. Baker concluded she had borne away for Saltcoinbe, as the wind continued to blow hard, with a prodi &ion,. swell. After keeping the same course for half an hour, Mr. Barker determined to bear away also, and on nearing the shore, fiaw something like crab -pot marks, but did not particu larly regard them, until a shriek was heard to proceed front thence, when Mr. Buller Vk as seen with his bead above water, Supported by a topiliaSt spar, which fortunately was in the boat when she went down.
