The Providence, of Swansea; JENKINS Master, was lost . in a violent storm on Thursday, the 22d , ult. near FiShguard. ,Never did the Welch charac ter shine more conspicuously in the offices of huma nity than in this instance. The crew of the Unfor tunate vessel, prevented‘by the fury of the tempest from landing in their boats, were hauled on shore by means of ropes, in which generous work many highly respedable persons assisted, some of whom plunged up to their necks in the sea. Oh reaching the shore, dry clothes and every requisite assistance were afforded to the distressed seamen by their be nevolent preserverS, whose condu6t on the occasion is above all praise. Amongst the most a6.tive to lend their friendly aid were Mr. I-Tarries, of Tregwint ; Mr. Moro - an, Of Abercastle ; Mr. Thomas, of Tresis cill ; and . several. others with whose - names we are uhacquainted, but which have .derived a lustre from their iirotitpt and humane exertion's that can never be effaced from the grateful recolledion cif those whom they happily. succeeded . in rescuing frotn a Watery grave. ' A new Writ having been issued for Worcester, in consequence of the acceptance of the Chiltern Hundreds by .Mr. BROMLEY, Wm. GORDON, Esq. has again come forward, supported by the, independ ent interegt. He made his entrance into Worcester , on Monday morning, preceded by a cavalcade of several hundreds of the Electors, and followed by a numerous train of carriages. On his 'arrival in the suburbs he whs received with loud acclamations by an immense body of Electors and Inhabitants; who took the horses from his Carriage. The pro cession being thrilled, Mr. GaRDON was draWn, with flags and banners, band of music, drums, fifes, &c. in front, through the principal streets of the city and greeted the most public places, where the procession stopped, with enthusiastic, cheers.. ::He addressed the Electors from the balcony of the Crown Inn, in an able and impressive speech ; in the course of which he alluded' to bis former eer ,tions, and to his late vindication of the rights and privileges of the Freemen. In once more presenting. himself to their utibiaskd judgment, the objrct, dearest to his heart was, to afford theM a fair oppor tunity of establishing those' rights, of a lv hick be had the happiness to say, lie had been the successful as serter. Mr. GOUDOtsesVeech was . rQdeived with en thusiastic plaudits. The Writ was published a , few . hours aft Mr. GORDON'S arrival, and. no doubt -is entertained of his being returned- without opposition next Friday when the Eledion takes place.—Mr. ,WILLtAm SAIIIII (the late Member for Norwich), whO was several days at WorceSter, with the hope of rais ing an opposition to Mr. GORDON, finding no prospect whatever of success, has left this 'city-and declined the contest. A few days ago a conspiracy was det;Eted on the part of•the relations of R----, Esq. a Gentle man. of fortune, .near tolce Newington, to' confine him as a lunatio. ' He was closely guarded in 'his . own hOnse one week; during which the cireuM stance reached the knowledge of a friend, who- im mediately Went With Mr. GustlEY, the Coi.insel, and two Physicians, to his assistance. On' their ar rival at his house, the professional Gentlemen ex amined; and pronounced him of sane mind„ and the .persons appointed to act as his keepers were instantly dismissed. The affair will shortly become the sub= jea of legal investigatitin. A person of the name of Chalkley, who had for ' many years been in the service of the-late Duke of Richmond, as foreman of the bnildings, Bc, at. Good Wood, together with his son-in-law, were, on Wednesday, had before the Magistrates, at the Swan Inn, at Chichester, charged, with having un warrantably conveyed many articles from the pre mises-abo% e mentioned.

A stone og nearly 200 weiglik, was thrown out s of the s'outla; West angle of the top of the square tower; at thP baSe of the spire. As the fluid deScended hi a zig-, cig diredion, ,it recoiled again and struck the base of the wall nAr the porch, With great violence; but was 'repelled by the solid masses of granite of which it is farmed.

I appeared that the deceased had imprudently suffered a Brazier, con , taining a fire, made of wood and coals; to remain in his.chamber when he went to bed on Friday even ing,, and on the next morning he was found quite dead. A fellow servant, who slept with him, had nearly shared his melancholy fate, but, by a diligent use of proper means, was restored.
