SINGULAR PHENONIENON.-011 the forenoon of Tuesday last, at Perth, about half-past 11 o'clock, the title, after having receded about 5 inches below high-water-mai k, suddenly. changed its direction, end began again to flow op the river, until it reached its former height. We had thus two tides at Perth, of the same height, in the space ofnne hour. This may be occasioned by a strong westerly gale in the Atlantic Ocean, totcing the ‘iater above its natural height on the opposite shores. Part of this immense hotly of water would force its way through the English Channel and the Pentland -frith, forming two currents in op posite directions. One of these proceeding along the shores of Norfolk and Yorkshire, would meet the other horn the Moray-frith and the Bay of Aberdeen, Ott the eastern coast of our island. This would occasion the water to rise to a considerable height, and force back the currents in the mouths of rivers, preserving the appearance of two titles. The same phenomenon has also been occasioned by au earthquake.—(Perth Courier,) tAST INDIES. 11IVO .

The 17th was fixed on for com menting operations ; but some negotiations har ing in the mean time been entered into, it was pnitpOued to the ISth, when decisive measures will no doubt be adopted.

The Killedar of Asseeg hur denies having given refuge to the EX-Rai,th within that fortress.. The efforts of the Colonial,Goveinnient of Ba tavia, for the purpose of sediiiiug-i'ltyd extending their influence to the eastward, haVe Ices uently been noticed in this Journal. The expedition fitted out at Penang, tinier Sir Stamford Raffles, with a.view, we imagine, to counteract the de signs of the Netherlands Government, has attract ed a good deal of notice, and naturally excited much anxiety to learn its result and object. Our Readers may depend upon having the earliest and 'most authentic intelligence on this interesting subject. In the mean time, we have much plea sure in informing them, that Captain Andelson`, of the ship Mary Anne, from Manilla, *boot the middle of February, passed close to the island of Sincapore, in the eastern extremity of the Stra trait of Malacca, where he observed a great y wooden houses erected., a number of tents pitched, and the lutist' flag flying, dose to a battery. of eight pieces of ordnance. There' is no doubt whatever but that this establishment WAS formed by Sir Stamford 11.6 flies; and, indeed, the most cursory glance at the chart of those seas must convince us, that no other spot could have been selected so well calculated for securing the im portant object in view as the Island of Sincapore. While the possession of Penang and Sincapore secure to our flag the undisputed •possession of the Straits of Malacca, the latter gives us a fCce and ,uninterrupted coMmuniCation with China. In short, Sincapore, as a commercial station, is chosen with constanmate judgment, and cannot fail in a few years to become one of the most flourishing and interesting settlements ever form ed by Etitopeans among the Eastern Islands. Captain Anderson afterwards touched at Ma• lacca, where he was informed that Sincapore was actually taken possession of by Sir Stamford Raf fles, in consequence of an arrangement with the Rajah of Johore, .who was to receive an equiva lent of • 4,000 dollars annually, and that the Ra jah's, son, with a number of Malaya, waes_at Sin capore. CaPtain Anderson understood that Sin capore was to he a free port for ten years ; that the Dutch felt much annoyed at our taking pos session of it, and considered it would prove ex• t retnely prejudicial to their interests. Captain Anderson also learned that Sir S. Raffles had re• turned to Penang, having left this new and in teresting settlement of Sincapore under charge of Major Farquhar, of this establishment. Since the above Was written we received the Calcutta Government Gazette, which informs us that by the Mope, Captain Butler, from China and Penang, accounts .had been received at CA cutta, announcing that Sir Stamford Raffles had hoisted the-British flag on the Island of Sinca pore on the 31st of January. SOUTH AMERICA. BUENOS AYRES, JUNG I .—There has- been no alteration in our relations with AraIGAS an Santa F. Further particulars front Linia have been received to March 13th, from Chili to 104 May, and from the squadron off Callao to March 25th. It was supposed the blockade, of the coast of • Peru would be enforced rigorously. — The Government of Chili had issued a Procla mation, corroborating the same, but instructing Lord COCHRANE to leave Pavia, or . some other port of his election, open for the whale ships to prOcure their necessary, sopplies . The British merchantmen in Chili were, much dissatisfied with the. blockade ; and in particular, because no time had been,allowed them to take away . their pro perty; and they intended to make a remonstrance about it to their Government. The brig Ellen Maria, of Bostoa, bad sailed with monitions of war for the squadron. Lord Coctiaase is represented as hostile to the Ame flea') interest, and encouraging desertion of, their seamen, while his conduct in that respect to the British is said to be different. The Macedo nian, Captain Dow N ES, sailed from Valparaiso on the 25th of May, for the Gillnh of Cali fornia. News. has been received at Valparaiso of the American brig Cossack having been forcibly taken possessiOn of, and the Captain and crew kept in captivity. It was supposed Captain DOW NES would reclaim those persons, and the property thus wantonly plundered, and punish the pet petrators. Before sailing, the Government of Chili requested of Captain DOWNES that he would not proceed to Lima, if he could for the present suspend it, consistent with orders from his tio vernment,.and it was supposed he would comply with their wishes.—Doubloons in Chili have been by law put at dol. 17. 25. per uz. and dollars at 3. per cent. premium.

In the evening he honoured .the Magis-., traces with his presence at an elegant dinner, served up - in the northern meeting-rooms. He was dressed in black, with •the. exception of a white waistcoat, and wore the star, riband, and knee-band of the Order of the Garter ; his suite were also in full dress. After an excellent dinner, and when the customary healths had been drank, Provost Robertson proceeded to confer the free. dom of the town on his illustrious guest, which he did in a speech very happily expressed, and very impres s ively delivered. His Royal Highness accepted the civic honour with evident satisfac tion, and in a deliberate distinct manner, but in a low tone of voice, expressed himself nearly as follows :—" 'Permit me, Sir, in few words, to re turn my thanks for the honour that has just been conferred on me, and to express my sense of the very kind reception I have experienced in this trailer. 1 always study to prove deserving the name you have -Just mentioned of a good Burgess of Inverness ;* and 1 shall he very .happy if my servites can ever he of any use to this good town, " His Royal Highness's health, as a Bur gess of Inverness, was then drank by the com pany with an enthusiasm of•which we can rec,a lect no similar example.• The evening: passed in a very pleasing manner.--His Royal Highness left town early this morning (Thursday; - Sept,. 2) for Fort George, where he* will breakfast with Governor Aiair.

HURRICANE. WerrenavEN, SEPT. t.—A tremendous storm from the westward came on here yesterday morning, about fire o'clock, and has continued with little abatement till now, eight o'clock, Wednesday night. The 'ingress of the tempest was rapid; a vessel off the Isle of Man first felt it about three in the morning; it began here about five, and reached Wigton by seven. The damage amongst the shipping in this har bour and upon the contiguous coast is great. About severs o'clock the Content, heed; Atlas, Black; Fortune, Hind, belonging to this port ; the Two Brothers, schooner, be- • longing to Ramsay; and the Plural,: sloop, of Newry, all run on shore at tire foct of Lowther-street, and are lying in a perilous situation ; yet, when the gale abates, it is ex pected that they may possibly he got off. 'At low water, about noon, the Content, Burns, of this port, came on shore behind the north wall. The life-boat was imme diately manned from the New Quay, and sent off to save the crew. On reaching the vessel, all hands, excepting the Captain and Mate, left her. The life-boat was agai manned by a fresh crew, who attempted in vain to reach the vessel, and were obliged to give tip the attempt. The Cap tain and Mate, seeing the imminent danger of their situation, sent a lope ashore by means of a float, when the boat once more reached the vessel; the Mate immediately descended • on board by the rope, but the Captain was still determined taut to quit his ship, great as was the peril. After the lapse tai sonic time, the life-boat was manned the fourth time, and • sent off for for Capt. Burns, and after much patience and difficulty he was taken from the wreck, under a bearty cheer by the crew, which was instantly replied to by the thousands assembled upon the shore—in a few . minutes all landed in safety. This great exertion had scarcely ended, when an other vessel hove in sight, and seemed destined to experience the same fate. Sire was soon known to be the Thistle, Cap tain Adamson, also of WhitehaVen. The crew appeared to be using all possible exertion to keep her off the shore ; but a short time shewed that their endeavours would prove ineffectual, as she neared very fast ; and at length her head was pointed directly on shore towards the bract' behind the north wall, where, in a few mioutes, she struck. The lite boat Was again immediately prepared to bring off the crew, • who, knowing the difficulty of rowing the boat to the wind ward, sent off -from tire vessel a buoy and line, which was brought ashore by some men, .who spiritedly swain off amongst the surf. In a few moments the boats reached the vessel by this line, and the cheering of the crew t o ld those ott shore that all wasright, and the whole sour stood on terra firuta. , Thus the life-boat was the means of saving the crews of two vessels, who otherwise would inevitably have pe rished. The ships continued to beat heavily doting the afternoon. About six o'clock, the Thistle began to break up, and in a few minutes she was a complete wreck. The Content remained firm an hour longer, when she also broke up; and this, rpurning there is nothing to be * seen of either vessd, but a heap of broken boards, spars, and cordage.— Nut a coal of the size of a walnut is to be (owe] upon the beach, although both•vesseli left the port the evening before the wreck, only laden with that ttrticle. Abouteight o'clock - at night, the Integrity; of Workington, timber-laden, front America, came to the entrance : of this harbour, where .the - struck the north wall, carrying away part ef . the perapet.— 'She now lies sunk within the entrance. At tow water this day, they were employed.in diieharging timber from off her deck ; and should - the gale abate, sire May be god._ off with but little "damage: - ' We ~rear, that 4::a - es'sei . is -on?shore about three miles south of this pt. rt ; and that at Racenglass, two others, one of them the Tartar, of Marvport av in a similes. . • dilemma. cu.s'Voms .
