The Friendship, White, from Sunderland to !Flutings t and Economy, Storey, from Newcastle to London, were totally lost this morning, on the tioodwin Sand ; crews saved. Captain White reports, he saw two or three other vessels on the tioodwin Sand, and it is feared the crews have perished. The Phenix, Bennett, fur the South Seas, and the Norfolk, from ditto, have lost anchors and cables, and beets supplied with others. Several vessels have lost their anchors, and proceeded down Channel, some without anchors to their bows. One of the vessels on shore is a plain ship, without a head, and yellow sides. The Duncan, East Indianan, has lost an anchor ; the rest of the outward-bound re main all well. Purrsuot:Te. MARCH 3.—Arrived the Pembroke * Marlow, (rum Dublin. Sartaxess, Malmo 3.—A great deal of damage has been dime to the shipping near this place, some having been lost, and others lust their anchors and cables, &c. Among them are the following:—The Jones, of Wood bridge, was driven on shore, bottom upwards; crew supposed to have perished. Julia, Reed, of Aberdeen; Lark, Wills, of Peterhead ; and Telemachus, Pratt, from London, have lost anchors and cables. Three veeseis are lost, and it is feared the crews have perished. litsmeasTe, hlsacti 3.—The vessel mentioned yestew. day being on the tioodwin Sand has totally disappeared, and nothing has been beard of the crew. The Flora, Storey, from Shields for London, was lust yesterday on the sunk sand. The crew have arrived here, except the mate and three men, who perished during the sight from the severity of the weather. Captain Storey reports that nearly 20 vessels were lust at the same time ou the sunk sand.

Two vessels are on shore in the South Ham, Yaruiotith; a large ship is now riding off the Jetty, totally distnagteil, and two others with the loss of their main-masts. Three wherries have been driven uu shore on Braydon ; the crews were saved with much difficulty. • Ills MAJESTY.. . BRIGHTON. Masten 2.—The completely re-establishea' health of our beloved Monarch is an universal theme of exultation and joy. The reports from the Palace to-4ay were truly inspiriting; not the slightest symptom of fr. turning,• illness is perceptible. Sir W. Knighton left the Palace to return to London this evening. tieneral Sir W. Keppol`joined the Royal Suite this afternoon. 'fhe weather to-day has been piercingly cold t a stormy north wind has prevailed. Tit QUFEN. -It is now certain that the Queen will arrive in this country within a short period. Instructions have been received to prepare a resi dence for her reception, with all possible expedi tion. We understand that the Persian Ambassador. accompanied by Mr. Morier, his mehmander, waited on Lord Castlereagh on Thursday evening last, when Isis Excellency in part settled his affairs previous to his leaving England for Perehkwhich his FAcellencv has proposed should take place alwismalmaddille of this month. Hi. Excellency. during his stay in this country, has become so h attached to the insane?. and cis toms of the English, that it is with the greatest regret that his numerous friends will part with him. Owing to the great scarcity of money, 30,000 Exchequer Bills were sold this day before 12 o'clock, at a discount of 3s. We are informed that Bank tokens of five shil lings and threepence, and one shilling and sispenre, many of which are circidating in some parts of the coun try, are receivable et the Hank until the Mth inst. at their full amount, bat nit longer. We have received an account of the fire from a Rochester correspondent, but no further particulars are related beyond those we have stated in another part of our Paper. Winter has again appeased in his garb of snow, for the fifth time during the present season. A strong north wind brought down a great fall during the lam 40 hours, and the fields around us are covered with ice and snow. The violence of the gale has been great, and large trees arc in many places torn up.—(Nurreich Mer e ury ) In consequence of the very high wind on Thursday morning last, the beautiful smith side of Crowlanil Ab bey, Peterborough, was for the greater part blown down. • The effects of the tremendous wind on Thur s day morning at Fulbourn, were truly alarming. Several trees were blown down, many trees torn up, and great members limbed and torn to pieces; many buildings un roofed, and several much injured. At Cherry-hinton, two very large and vslnable barns were blown entirely down.—(Caissbredge Pap: r.) Blanchard, of Covent-garden Theatre, is so de cidedly loyal, that, in his seal, a few since, he refused to take bark, because he was told it was a radical curt for the complaint he laboured under!!! Pauaxcu or Mane ix A Coualtaa.—Tbe Prince de Conde once thought himself offends 4 by the Abbe de Voisenon; Voisenun heard this from " a good-natured friend," and went to Court to exculpate bisnself. As soon as the Prince saw him, he turned away from him. Thank Hod:" said V oisenon . " I have been misin formed, Sir—your Highness does not treat me as if I were au onemy."—" How do yon see that, M. Abbe?" said his Highness coldly, over his shoulder, " Becuake, Sir," answered the Abbe, " your Highness never tens' Your back upon as enemy. '—` 4 My dear Abbe," ex? your the Prince and Mehl Marshal, turning round, and taking him by the hand. " it is quite impossible any man to he angry with you," and so en d e d his Highness's animosity. GENERAL ELECTION. .iiterittiterlut.—This morning, at nine o'clock, Arthur Morriss, Eaq. High Bailiff, attended by the High Constable and his assistants, proceeded to the boundaries of the several parishes o(the City and Li berty of Westminster, and made the usual proclamation, ler the election of two lit and proper !serious to be re earned to serve in Parliament. Next Thursday is the !day appointed for the nomination of Candidates. The F only lientlemen that have as yet declared themselves, are tiir Francis Huttlett, the Hon. George Lamb, and John Cam Ilubisouse, Este. We are are quite to a hustle, in consequence of Mr. Curteis, of Windmill-hill, having come forward to oppose Sir Godfrey Webster, in the honour of representing this county in the ensuing Parliament. As the worthy Ida enact has declared it to be his " sincere determination . ' to abide the issue of a roots- t, we may expect a very hard strugele. It is impossible, however, at present, even to 1 loess on which side fortune will finally declare herself. I la the eastern parts of the county, we are assured, Mr. Cartels is very powerfal ; while, in the western dis tricts, the star of Sir Godfrey is stated to be ascendant.— The former Gentleman arrived here on Wednesday, and ' diately I ))))) Illeileeli a canvass, which, we un 'levitated, prov.:il very successful. Mr. C. afterwards proceeded to Statimer; and shined with his noble friend, the Red of rh;cliester. Sir Godfrey arrived yesterday, the worthy Baronet having been actively engaged daring the two prereding days in canvassing Horsham, Chichester, Arundel, Worthing, &e.—Walter Boirrell. Sm. shout whose politics (rattier Ministerial) nothing le said, and who is chiefly liked fur the mirrauitting at-' teMton which brisays to the local concerns of the county, is also herr, and, %“. think, may safely calculate upon his re-election.—(Bmiehron Herold.) Noawicu, :11 viten S.—lt is now certain, we believe, that no opposition n ill he made against the return of Messrs. Smith and Gurney, though mincing the week every possible attempt to livid champions un the side of the Ministerialists was made in vain. thi Tuesday, a handbill annouticeil that two Gentlemen would come forward. The names of laird Ancrain, Sir E. Kerrisoe, and John Harvey, Esq. were severally mentioned, and on Thursday a meeting %vas held at the Angel. at two o'clock. Mr. Francis informed the Gentlemen assembled that Sir E. firrrisan was it Thorpe, and that he was ready to dfier himself if any other Gentleman could be found to join him. Mr. F. said he was now about to proceed to Thorpe. and that he would commnnicate the result of the interview at six o'clock. The interview proved abortive. _ IV , On Wednesday the writ for Members to serve in Par liament was proilaimed by the Mayor, attended hv the Corporation said Officers, at the usual places within the borough of Arundel. The Election will take place on Monday next. The 'Election for the city of Norwich is fixed to take place on Tuesday next ; fur the county on 3looday the 13th instant. _ . ........ ._.._. Me. Bruce, w ho assisted the escape of Lavaßette, has started for Lewes. Thr Election for that Borough will take place on Monday newt. Lord Banditti., one of the Whig Candidates for Not tinghatu, has ptiblisheil a handbill, dated the nth of February last, declining the contest, in which he states his resolution of retiring from public life fur thepresent ; 1 and among; other things, begs his late constituents " to I fon!ive his fault.." The friends of Mr. Smith and Mr. I Hollestim, the Tory Candidates, speak with confidence of their hopes in a successful result. The election will commence on 3lon.lay next. An attempt has been made so lately as the middle of the week to stir a contest for the county, and we are not roaspeised, whether the iodisation bas °Nomad. Highly important to the national safety, as we should think, the return of a Candidate detached from Ministers, we trust that no opposition to Mr. lYcelebonse's election will he made that has not a strong foundation, for we hold vexatioes contests, hawing no purpose but to put the Candidate to espenre, not less dishonourable than useless. Let principles be asserted, and strenu ously asserted—never was there a time when it was so necessary as now; hitt if there he no fair round to hope for success, it is not the part of liberal feelings of opposition wantonly to hasrass the person, and drain the purse of the Member whose return is certain. Such is the disposition which we are sure prevails among the leaders of the Whip,. Ihnitig the entire interval since the dissolution was announced to be at hand, Mr. Coke his shown a determination not to inliteiece, in the slightest degree, the opinions of the county with respect to the nomination of a third candidate. Mr. Barnet retires from Rochester, and a small con test is expected to take place between 'Aril Binning, l i ned Clifton, Major 'forrens, and a Mr. Bernal, the litter of whom has just declared himself. Report also says, that the friends of Mr. Caleraft wish to bring him forward attain. ' We have heard that Sir C. M. Burrell has withdrawn bis pretensions for Itrainher, the worthy Baronet not !booming to incur the expenses to which the pending op position would subject him. If this he true, Mr. Smith, unless opposed successfully by some fresh candidate, will be returned with Mr. Lloyd. The day of Election, we understand, is fixed for Friday nest. It is said, that the refusal of some of our townsmen to support the late respectable and independent Candidate for this borough, were couched in terms the most slavish and disgusting—snob as, " my bread is buttered on roller side, Sir," &c. &r.—Mteahridge Paper.) 3lr. Wharton, one of the Candidates for the county of Durham, accompanied by a numerous party of his friends, attempted to continence a canvass this week in Sunderland, hut they were so violently attacked by the snob, that they were compelled to take refuge in a so- Bettor's house, where the windows were broken, and the boose would most probably have been destroyed, had not the military arrived from the barracks and quelled the riot. Mr. Lambtott is canvassing here to-day.— 1 kiliaistereal Paper.) The Hon. lieorge %Valpole retires from Parliament ; and it is a subject of genera remark, that many of the :Oldest and most respectable Members have declined to offer themselves.—(Norreich Mercu ry.) NAVAL ORATORT.--.l. l miral Blake, when a Captain was sent with a • mall squadron to the West Indies, on a secret expedition against the Spanish settlements. It happened in an engagement that one of the ships blew tip, which damped the spirits of his crew; hut Blake, who was hot to be goblisl by one ungnecessftil occurrence, called ant to his corn—" Well, my lads, von have seen an English ship blown up; and now let's see what figure a Spasisli one will make in the same situation!" This well-timed harangue raised their spirits immediately, and in loss than an I hr set his antagonist on tire.— ..There, my lads," said he, " I knew we should have our revePge soon !" The inhabitants of Layton, in Essex, have lately been winch agitated by the visits of nightly church-yard depredators. Many bodies, lately interred, have Iwen 'take from their coffins; and so much has this infamous 'practice prevailed within the last month, that, we nn dersland, the relations of those who have very recently berm buried, and who can afford the capons., keep watch over their graves from sunset to sunrise. The corps* of a lady who for issany years possessed consider able iothsessee in the parish, is stilt under the vigilance 1 of the family ilootestios. • ---_...• . T s.-46 COURT OF Y.--(Tau Dir.) INARLIOROVIEN HOLD PLATSI The LORD CHANCELLOR CURE itatw Court at Lalf-past ten o'clock, and asked if Mr, Wray was in Coon ? Be ing informed that the Learned Coansel had not arrived, his Lordship said that he wished to ask Mr. Wray what were the valuable goods and chattels which the Dike of Marlborough had proposed to bring into Court, instead of money, as security for the gold plate; and why the Noble Duke had not brought then* into Court? The Duke of Marlborough most know, said his Lordshii that he was indebted to the Court the soon of 1,31/01. ; and if he did not pay it into Court, hr (his Lordship) must deal with him as with every other person who nes in contempt. It could nut be unknown to the Duke that he was in contempt at that moment, for not obey ing.the order of the Court, and paying the money. Thr LORD CHANCELLOR said that hr would take ano ther opportunity of speaking to Mr. Wray upon the subject. IN ?RR Marren OF COLES, A MIANIRCPT. Mr. HART said, this was a petition to expunge the deb. of Mr. Nlaberley, a creditor of the said bankrupt. The petitioner stated, that in the year IN he had en• tered into p.w.iiership with a person of the same of Hal pin, who had formed a connexion with one Kinnear, cuu• trary to the knowledge of Coles. Bills were paid away by Kinnear to the amount of 23 thonsand ponds; ana when Kinnear negociated these bills with several trades men, it was upon the express condition that the name of Kinnear should net he pat on the hark of the hill, as the indorser, but in the names of Coles and Halpin. Mr. Leese, one of the tradesmen n ho had possession of these bills, had brought his action to recover the amount, but he had been nonsuited, on the ground that the bills isa.l been drawn and negociated in an Usurious manner. Mr. Ctrutain followed on the same side. M-. WILSON. in defence, contended that Mr. Maherley had satisfied the Commissioners of the ralidityi of the debt. The Con nail on the other side had insisted strung I v on the fact, that other creditors had linen nowwiteti, hut the circumstances of this ease were widely different. They had taken the bills cautiously, so as to provide :punt any risk, but his client bad - given fail value for the bills, as if they had been ready money. He had Made :inquiry as to the respectability of the Lousy of Coles and Halpin, and had received such answers as were satisfactory. The LoanCnauenton thought, that, nnder all these circumstances, this case ought to go before a Jury. MAGISTERIAL APPOINTSIENTS.—We Understand that R. Baker, Kan. the Sitting Magistrate at Marlbo rough-street, is appointed to the situation of Sir Na thassiel Conant, at Bow-street Other, who has resigned. Mr. Conant, will s it is said, sneered Mr. fisher at Malhorongh-street, as resident Magistrate. It is said that, owing to an inadvertency in the wording of the late Act of Parliament, intended give continuance during the dissolution to all ex piring Arts, the Act for Relief of Insolvent Debtors can• not he administered during the recess, as was expressly intended be Parliament. The words of the new Avt, passed a slay or two before the dissolution, to keep alive other Acts, until the new Parliamen , shall assemble, are as follow:—" That all laws nett in force, and which would expire at the end of this Session of Parliament, or on or before the Ist day of Jnne, 1820, shall be. an continue iu hull force to all intents and pu until the 25th day of June, 11:420." Now, an nately for the Insolvent Debtors who are confined in the gaols throughout the kingdom, the last Act passed by the Legislature for their relief expired on the 22d o f February last. Its temporary resival cannot, therefore, be umprehended in the words of the ether Act to whirls we have alluded. Mr. Reynolds, the King's Counsel, who acted u Chief Commissioner under the late Aet 4 has had repeated interviews with Lord Sid month within the last day or two npon this subject : it is said nothing has been decided on in behatf of the debtors. Butt the general opinion is, that the in rrrrrrrr in the wording of the last Act is eonrlnsire against the opening of the Insolvent Debtors' Conn until the new Parliament meets, and makes a fresh provision for the administration of this branch of the law. _ _ ANIMAL SAGACITY.-11 is stated as a fact, by a person of veracity, that a Mr. Hawkins, of Pitts field, was recently in pursuit of foxes, accompanied by two blood-hounds; that the dogs were soon in scent, and pursued a fox nearly two hour', when Nuildenly they appeared at fault; that Mr. H. cause up with them near a large log lying upon the ground, feeling much sur prise to find them taking a circuit of a few r,ols without an object, trace of the game seeming to have been lost, vet still yelping. On looking about h• , he dig covered sly lievnard stretched upon the log, apparently lifeless. 31r. H. made several etiorts to direct the atten tion of his dogs towards the fox, but failed ; at length he approached so near the artful object of his pursuit as to see him breathe. Even then no alarm was exhibited. and Mr. H. seizing a club, aimed a blow at him. which was evaded by a leap front his singular lurking-place, and thus, for that time, be effectually eluded his rapm cions pursuers.—(.4staerices Paper.) IitSMARSAOLS FACT.—Two pigs were farrowed in September last, and reared by hand at Fislibourne. They were never separated, and always fed together ; each was fat, and esteemed by judges handsome. The disparity of size, on being killed, was astonishing ; one weighed three stone six pounds, the other fifteen stone and six pounds. A desperate gang of poachers has been broken into by the vigilance of the keepers and others in the service of Admiral Wilson, at led rare, in Suffolk. These vil lains had long infested his plantations in the several parishes of Kedgrave, Botestlale. and Wortham, and seemed to hid defiance to all opposition. On Monday selinight, by tieorge Lee, Esq. alai the Rev. Mr. Betts, James Iloilo-ell and William Fuller were committed to our pill—William Leeder, who turned evidence, was admitted to bail; and on Monday last John Waters, another accomplice, was apprehended and brought be fore the above Magistrates, and was likewise admitted to hail. 14nocitina IMITANCS or DIPRATITT.—A girl of the name of Sarah Martin, of this town, in august last, swore herself to be with child, hv &private soldier of the 90th regiment, of the name of Nimes. The man was taken into cnstndy immediately, and, for the want of hail, was committed to the House of Correction, where he remained until December, when, being tired of the confinement, he requested to he married, which was granted. On the woman being brought before the Ma gistrates to hr examined as to her settlement, it was their opinion (we suppose from her appealing to be far ad vanced in pregnancy) that she was incapable of following her husband to joss his regiment, which had, in the mean time, bees sent to Manchester ; and, at the Ma gistrates' request, she was taken inns our poor-house to lay in. Some suspicions eirernisianres, however, having lea to an examination of the person of the woman, she was, to the surprise of those presto, safely delivered of au old pair of stays and a pair of tagged troy sers.—lt appears she had recently pt mica the inmates to write to her husband, that she was mfely delivered, and wish ed him to name the child; be wrote her a kited reply in congratulation oa her recovery, but declined naming the chill, leaving that to her. — The 'dopester has since made her escape from the poor-heuse.—(BrigAton Herald.) 1 4 . x ~~ it I
