The Brilliant, a new brig belonging to Aber. deen, loaded with potatoes, from Berwick for Booth Ferry, in going pp the Humber on Friday last, struck upon Whitton Sand, and alnlost instantly up set ; fortunately the people were all saved, and the vessel arrived at Hull on Monday with loss of masts and every thing upon deck. This Sand has of late been found disastrous to shipping ; it is very steep, and frequently shifts with strong tides. On Friday last, and early on Saturday morning, there were some very loud peals of thunder at Dum fries, preceded by vivid,flashes of lightning. Heavy showers of hail fell at the same time. On Thursday last, an alarming fire broke out in the premises of Mr. George Hogarth, farmer at Sun laws Hill, in the neighbourhood of Kelso : Owing to the violence of the wind, the barn-yard, barn, byres, cottages, &c. were entirely consumed before assistance could be procured. Flax, in its green state, immediately after the seed has been taken frbtn it-, forms a covering for houses, &c. which is to be surpassed by few others. ,It should, like other thatch, be put on in a wet state,, and sewed together with a cord well im pregnated with tar. In a short time it swells and throws out a glutinous mAtter, which makes the contiguous stalks adhere to each other, and form a solid body impervious to the elements, neither sun, wind, or rain affeaing it. Two farmhouses, with various detached build ings, at Somerton, in Suffolk, were last week de stroyed, owing to the carelessness of a girl throw ing out some wood-ashes, a spark from which having tloi.vn upon the thatch of a barn, set the whole on fire. LONDON : Primed b: At the SUN.OFFICE) GREENOCK, MARCH r 6. The sloop Elizabeth, Sharp, from Port Glasgow for Dublin, with a cargo of sugar, in coming down the river on Friday morning last, run foul of a lighter, by which the pin of her anchor, which was banging over her bow, was driven into her bottom ; she 'came to off Mr. Scot's building-yard—the pump was tried, and the master went ashore ; the men in the boat, after landing him, on returning along side, observed the vessel was sinking, when a signal of distress was immediately made. Fortunately at the time several merchants were on the quay, and assistance was instantly procured ; the vessel was drawn upon the ground, and the greatest part of the cargo was got out in safety. Just arrived the Thetis,. Smith, from Charles town, in 38 days; and the Ariadne, Johnston, front Demerara, after a passage of 53 days—was 15 days before she got clear of the islands.. The ship, Clio, Capt. Macfie, of Glasgow, ar rived at Port Royal, Jamaica, from Grenada, on the 19th January ; on the 17th she spoke the For tune, Leitcht ; Union, Bradshas', and Garthland, Reid, from the Clyde to Jamaica, then off the isle' of Ash, out thirty-five days, all well, and Capt. Macfie thought they might get into Port Antonio on the 19th. At Monmouth Assizes, on Monday se'nnight, the following prisoners - were tried: David Thomas, for stealing two oxen and three steers, and George Barton, for stealing wearing apparel, were capi tally conviaed, and received sentence of death ; Edward Jones, for stealing a quantity of sugar, was sentenced to six months imprisonment ; Wm. Williams, for stealing ironmongery goods, Anne Smith, for stealing wearing apparel, Rowland Phil lips, and Ann Phillips, for stealing household goods, Wm. Lewis, for stealing iron cluing, John Williams for a nuisance in the River Wye, and Wm. Jenkins for bastardy, were discharged. At these Assizes, two causes of material import ance to the:free navigation of the River 'Wye, and to the cornirade in general, and more particularly so to the Landholders in the, several Counties of. Hereford, Gloudester, and MOnmouth, came on to he tried, wherein Mr. Win. Porter, an eminent Corn Fa dor and Maltster, at Wilton; in the County of Hereford, and Mr. John Hardwick, a respeaabte Landowner and Farmer, at Blidstow, in the said County, were severally • plaintiffs, and the Inha bitants of the Hundred of Ragland,, in the County Monmouth, defendants, which were severally brought to recover from the hundred the amount in damages of the value - of a cargo of wheat, ,barley, and Pease, belonging to the, plaintiffs, and which were on the i6th day of March, iBoi, in its way to Bristol, stopped, 'robbed; and plundered, by a lawless mob, at Landogo,. in the County of Mon. mouth ; when, after every objeaion to the proceed ings which legal abilities could invent; and full proofs of the plaintiffs' cases, verdias were severally given in favour of Mr. Porter, for the-sum of 1781. and in favour of Mr. Hardwick it 11. besides costs, being the value of-the cargo taken by ,such mob ; thereby establithing the -right of every person to send corn dawn the River. Wye, and that any one interrupting the navigation, as in these cases, is guilty of felony, and liable to be punished with death. PIIILADELPHI.4, IA.N. t?o!, (EXTRACT OF A LETTER.) Ct As a piece oflnformation, I enclose you an Ad; vertisement from •Mr. Peale, relative to the Mam moth, it is certainly_ one of the most extraordinary produdions of Nature ; and a circumstance which to me appears not less extraordinary than its existence is, that every , trace (except the few discovered bones) of so enormous an animal shOuld be totally extina.—The skeleton is rather more than eleven feet in height, so that when covered with flesh, we may imagine it could not be less than 1 z feet. The Tusks are elevell feet long, one of which Mr. Peale has in hiS possession, and from which he has formed the models attached to the Skeleton.---Mr. Peale his another Skeleton nearly, if not quite as large as this, which he proposes to send to England in the spring.—Some few of the bones, which were missing, he has carved in wood, but as what was deficient in the one, existed for the most part in, the other, he . has formed a very 'accurate skeleton.—l think when the Philosophers . of Eur Ope• see this stripenduous frame, they will not consider Nature here as on a small scale. Yours, &c. MAMMOTH. cc J. R. C." TAKEN FROM A PAPER PUBLISHED AT PHILADP.L- PHIA L DEC. 23, 1801. Ninety years have elapsed since the first remains ,of this animal were, found in this Country, they were then thought to he the remains of a Giant : Numerous have beet) the attempts by scientific charaters of all Nations to procure a satisfatory colle6tion of hones—at length the Subscriber has accomplished this great objea, and now announces to the Public, that he is in possession of a complete Skeleton of this antique wonder of North Americ-a ; after a long, ;laborious and uncertain enterprize, they were dug up in Orange and Ulster Counties, (State of New York), where they must have lain, certaiirli, many hundred ycars—No other vestige remains of these animais ; nothing but a confused tradition among the natives of our Country, which states their existence ten thousand moons ago ; but whatever might have been the appearance, of this ENORMOUS QUADRUPED when cloathed with flesh, his massy bones can alone lead us to imagine ; already convinced that he was the largest of 'terrestrial beings. C. W. PE ALE. SurclDE.—On Friday- afternoon, about five o'clock, as two labouring men were returning with a cart from Dulwich towards Peckham Rye, they Were alarmed by the sound of two successive pistols ; conceiving some robbery had been committed, or attempted, they followed the sound, and found &I gentleman weltering in his blood ; he had two horse pistols lying beside him, one in each .hand; He was quite dead ; and it appeared that he had shot himself in two places in the head ; one on the right had grazed up -the side of the head—that on the left which operated fatally,,,went in near the,tern. poral artery on - the left, and passing through the head, went out just above the ear on the right. On searching the body no papers of any kind could be found. Thee jury sat on the body on Saturday evening, and brought in a verdiB LUnacy. By the restlirsony . of a gentleman, who casually attended, it appeared that the name of the deceased was Sey mour, that - , he was a man in a very respeaable line of life, and that his circumstances were-not such as to make a man displeased with his situation. . The long wished for improvement is now about to take place at Bath. The passage from the old to the new part of that City, called Cock Alley, has been always , considered as a great nuisance :—the opening now to be made, is from the Old Bear-yard through the back of Bond-street, into Milsom street. In consequence of some robberies having been committed at Bath, the Chief Magistrate convened a Meeting of the Inhabitants to form some plan for prevLting such depredations. The least violation of the regularity and stri& Police of that City,, im mediately creates alarm. Some nights since, the dwelling-house of John Kilvarton, an aged industrious farmer, who resides at.Stagdale, in the County of Limerick, Ireland, was attacked by a nunierous armed set of ruffians, for the purpose of robbing him, ar,i forcibly carry ing off his daughter. Kilverton having got in'_ timation of an intended attack. on his house, applied to a Gentleman in his neighbourhood, who supplied him, for his defence, with two bayonets, and with the assistance of his son and nephew, beat off the assailants, who fired thirteen shots into the house ; some 'of the ruffians, who, with sledges, broke the lower part of the door, had the temerity to enter the house ; old Kilverton and his small party made so good use of their bayonets and a pitchfork, that three of the assailarits died the next day, and another is languishing, who received a stab from old Kilverton in the throat, endeavouring to force in at a window. Mr. Hugh . Massey has taken four of the above party. Much praise is due to this brave old man, his son and nephew, , for their spirited defence. i~aith, I would think it a crinif unp-• were Knot to manifest this cure to the suirc•lnD people in like circumstances.
