EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM BOMBAY, FROM ONE OF THE FOUR PERSONS WHO ESCAPED. " We left 13ussorab on the 12th of March, 1820, and had a tedious passage down the Euphrates. On the 17t11 we Were off Rarrab, an island about 40 miles from Buslikre. During the night of . the I7th it blew fresh, with a considerable sea. About 3 a. m. of the 18th it fell calm, was black and cloudy, with thunder and lightning. The mainsail was 11,0 led up, and the topsails were lowered soon after. • About half-past, three a sudden squall came fronrthe northward * accompanied with thunder, lightning, and rain. I was. in bed, but luckily awake. I turned out on hearing the wind; and as our birth opened into the main-hatchway, I went out and stood be tiveen decks to see what was the matter. As I looked up, the vessel keeled, the water came rushing over the larboard gunwale, the launch went over the side, and at-the same time I beard a crash above me, which most have been the mainmast. At this time.l heard a horrid shriek, and found myself beloW water. " All this must have taken place in less than a minute and' a half front the first coming on of the squall. On coming to lie surface, I found myself among pieces of boards, and beard a few men around. I, however, felt myself irresistibly polled below the water, and went to the depth of three or four fathoms before the power that drew me desisted. 'There was nothing had hold of ate, but some power 1 could not overcome, drawing me. It was the vortex formed by the sinking vessel. On reaching the surface a second time, and swimming a little, 1 saw a boat bottom up, towards which I made, and gut upon it. Hearing some people in• the water near me, (for it was quite dark and rainy,) I called out, and was joined by six or seven of my unfortunate com panions. All else was now quiet, except the tossing of the waves, and the piercing cries of a little boy who was at some distance, but to whom we could give no as sistance. In a few minutes he sunk, and we were left the remainder of 83 persons, who but a few minutes before had no idea of danger. The squall was now over, but a heavy sea continuing, made the canoe roll over and over, which al ways threw us to some distance in the water, and exhausted us very much. After tumbling about in this way for some time, three or four men could stand it no longer, and dropped off. There were now four of us only remaining, of 83 persons who composed the ship's company, and expecting every moment to share the same fate. However, we at last contrived to right the. boat, and kept her on her keel, although full of water, by placing a few small spars, that we found floating about, across the gunwale, which prevented her rolling. We fastened these, the best way we could, with strips of our shirts and handkerchiefs, and sat upon them. At day-break, which we much longed fur, the island of Rarrah was seen, about twelve miles distant. We also saw the high land about Bushere, but that was far off. At this time we were joined by two other men who had kept near us on a spar until our little raft should be ready. One of these poor fellows died before we reached the shore. Sit ting upon this swamped boat, naked, and every sea coming over us, we continued to drift towards the island, and about two P. ss. we got within a mile or two of the beach, and ex pected in half an hour more to land. At this time, to our great distress, I observed that the tide began to set us off again and to drift us round the island. As we were evidently leav_ lug the shore fast, it was proposed to swim ashore, but on making the experiment we found ourselves so Weak, and the distance so great, that we were glad to put about, and it was with great difficulty some of us reached the canoe. Luckily the current soon changed and sent us back again, and a little after sunset we were cast upon a reef of rocks over which we swam and waded till we got upon dry land. After walking two or three hours along the beach, we arrived at the town, and were immediately taken to the Shiek. He gave us a room in his house, and supplied us with what cloathes and provisions he had, for the island is very poor. We remained there three days, and during that time received every atten tion and kindness we could expect. On the 22d March, the Sbiek gave us a boat, in which we arrived It Bushire the same evening, and of course were supplied with every thing. We left Bushire on the 28th, and arrived here a few days ago. For several days after our unfortunate wreck, I was laid up, swollen with the sun and salt water, and from having beets cut a good deal with the rucks on landing, but otherwise 1 have been in good health." LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 27.—Arrived the Cossack, l'opping, from Honduras; on the 23d Aug., in lat. 30. 43. long. 7L). spoke the brig Navigator, of Sunderland, from Jamaica, for Leith; she had lust 7 Well by sickness; pat 2 men on hoard of her. The brig Sirius, of and for London, from Jamaica, was in company. The Vere, Allen, which war on shore, has been got off and brought into Dock.

FALMOUTH, SEPT. 26.—Sailed the Regulus transport for Hati fax. • HOLYHEAD, SEPT. 27.—Arrived the Thalia, Simpson, from Jamaica, for Greenock, with loss of main -boom, and short of provisions; and Gleaner, Weymouth, from St. John's, New• foundland, with loss of main. yard and bulwarks. HULL, SEPT. 27.—Arrived the Thomas, Brass, from Davis Straits, 17 fish, 400 butts ; and Truelove, Watson, from ditto, 14 fish, 390 butts. The Alfred, Clark, from Greenland, is in sight. Lvrrn, SEPT. 26.—Arrived the William and Ann, Wake, from Davis Straits, 1G fish; Dexterity, Marr, 17 fish; and the North Pole, 14 fish. DUNDEE, SEPT. 25.—Arrived the Bon Accord, Parker, from Greenland, 19 fish. THE MARKETS. CORN-EXCHANGE, SEPT. 29.—Oar market was abundantly supplied with Wheat this morning, consisting of what remained over from the Arrivals of Monday and Wed nesday, and fur which there was so little &Oland that scarce any sales were made to-day, although lower terms would have been submitted to; but the quality of the new Wheat from the Eastern district being so very ordinary, the Millers only select the finest samples, which are 2s. per quarter lower than on Monday, but all otherdesetiptions are only nominal in value ; Barley is from 2s. to 3s. per quarter cheaper than on Mon day, and very heavy sale at that reduction, the supply being 'much large, than the demand ; the ports being now shut against the importation of tats from Holland, &c. fine fresh Corn sold freely this morning, at fill] as much as on Wednes day; in Beans and Peas them is no alteration. - SMITHFIELD MARKET, SEPT. 29.—There was a-good supply of all kinds of Cattle at Market this morning, but they fully maintained Monday's prices ;' the inferior qua lities of Beasts were lower in price; Mutton, Veal, and Pork, the same as per above in price. The Hay Market same in price as pet' out last quutatioti i Straw and Clover no al teration. THE THE COVENT-G. RDEsT.--Lpzie in a Village,- one of the established favourites of the Public, and not likely ever to be out of its favour ; was last night represented at this Theatre. Mr. Hoax, who originally came forward at the English Opera House, appeared in the part of Young Meadows. He is certainly improved in singing and as an Actor. His voice is more powerful but not less sweet, and he Manages it with increased judg_ merit. His deportment is more easy, and seems to result from feeling, without any attempt at elaborate grace. His person is _improved in sub stance, and, altogether, his importation from the Dublin Stage is creditable to the Covent• Garden Manager. Miss GREEN' was the Rosetta, and she acted with simplicity, but not with .the spirit which the part required. An al lowance ought, however, to be made for want of practice in so juvenile an Actress.—•- FAWCETT was humorous, and not extravagant, in Justice Woodcock, and Mrs. DAVENPORT, a very good Actress, but somewhat too violent on all occasions, gave all .due support to Aunt Deborah. EMERY'S Hodge was a true portrait of rustic, bluntness, and, was well relieved by his gallantry towards Rosetta. Miss BEAUMONT was spirited and interesting in poor Madge, and proved herself to he a good Actress.—The Opera was followed by a new ballet, entitled Annette and Lubin, a mere vehicle for the dancers, and it was very creditable to the audience that they received with great applause those Foreign Performers' of high merit in their poofeSsion, who were left in a pi tiable state by the sudden close of the King's Theatre.' The liberal feelings of the Manager, on the occasion, are likely to be rewarded by the success attending this agreeable and elegant addition to the general amusements of his The atre SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SHERIFFS' DINNERS.—II is usual for the Se nior Sheriffto give'a dinner on the day of inau guration, and for the Junior Sheriff to give a din ner on the day after Michaelmas day, when they are presented and sworn at Westminster be fore the Barons of the Exchequer, whom it is customary to invite. No dinner was how ever given yesterday, but cards of invi tation are out for a splendid entertainment on Saturday, at the joint expense of both the Sher iffs, who are on that day sworn at Westminster. We are informed that it is the intention of the Sheriffs to bear their usual, share of the expenses of the Lord Mayor's dinner, and to give the cus tomary dinners at the Sessions, but no other entertainments. The reasons given for these innovations on ancient customs, - as they are called, are, that every Sheriff has a right to determine the expense to which he will go, and that the Livery ought not to expect Gentlemen, who take upon them to execute pub lic offices upon public principles, to give feasts for great City Officers, who have hitherto par taken of such entertainments as a matter of right, without considering themselves under the slightest obligations to the donors ; and that on such oc casions the Sheriffs are preclude& from inviting more than a dozen or twenty of their private friends.—(Morning Paper.) ST. PAUL'S CATILEDRAL.—TheDean and Chap ter of St. Paul's have resolved that this splendid Metropolitan Church shall undergo a thorough repair. A number of the windows, which were much dilapidated, have been removed, and new ones substituted. To those who have not seen the interior, it would be utterly impossible to convey any: idea of the miserable state in which it was kept. The beautiful monuments of John son, Howard, Sir Wm. Jones, Lord flood, &c. were so completely covered with dust, as to ren der it difficult to judgb of what marble they were made ; and even in some instances the inscriptions were almost illegible. Some attention ought also to be paid to the flags suspended round the dome, which are much defaced with dust and cobwebs. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.---Yesterday there was a Convocation of the Senate for the purpose of conferring upon the Earl of Guilford, Chancel lor of the lonian University, the Degree of Doctor' of Laws. The grace having passed the Caput, his Lordship was presented to his De gree by the, Rev. Dr. E. D. Clarke., acting as De puty Public Orator, who addressed the Senate in a Latin speech on the occasion. — ( C am b r id ge , Sept. QS.) Advices from Holland, received by way o f Paris, state that, on tl - n.! arrival of the intelli gence at Amsterdam of the recognition by the Cortes of the debt due by Spain. to the Dutch GOvernment, stock, which was previouslyat 34, suddenly doubled itself in value, and rose to 68. The resolution of the Cortes pro v ides for the regular payment of tue ini.erest, and the future discharge of the principal of the debt. Lord CLANCARTY, British Ambassador to the Court of the Netherlands, has left the Hague for Brussels. tOR TILE SUM MORE ADDRESSES. Ma. Enrroit- , ---Frorn the length Of the probes. sion which passed yo , .ir windows yesterday, I at first supposed that all the Fools in London were on their way to llarnmersmith x -but have since Understood that it was only the Iphabitants of $, Luke's ! I was delighted to See several of the Ladies' Barouches with outside passengers, quite as'yespectable as those within, only that they were not quite so elegantly dressed. In one car riage I saw, with great satisfaction, the portrait of that dear man BERC-AMI, without whom the fair Creatures must have -missed thuir ride and public exhibition, so populously cheered by all the boys and elea ° antes of every alley in their route. Many of these carriages were deprived, of the aristocratic luxury of black.varnish, so as to be quite as unpolished as their occupants; but the most appropriate part of the procession was a white-wash Cart, which * it is probable, may be useful both to Addressers and tb Address'ee. - tour's ) - TIM COGGIN& POLITICAL EQUALITY. Q. .Why has the Radical, compared with the Loyd PRESS, superior influence over the Public mind ?—A. Because the Loyal Press has Wit withnut Virulence ; whilst the Radical has Viru lence withoUt •Wit. The vulgar, who cannot understand the one, can yet feel the other. The Loyal lament the smallest point of degradation in any man, or set of then, as, a general evil ; but Radical minds consider, every point of degrada tion in others, as a point gained in their own favour. 'Tis only a branch of the Levelling system in France, which sought to bring things to a level, by debasing all things equal with the lowest.—But our Old English principle is dif.' ferent = not to Level, but to bring . to a Level L—to, raise, not to depress ! FOR THE SUN. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. Ma. EDITOR-I beg to send you the follow- , kg Botanical Anecdote, as ati Useful hint for our Countrymen now settling at the Cape, and who may - chuse to speculate in the cultivation of vine yards. The Dutch Governor, Von der, STRT, who first planted the famous vineyard of Constantia, was anxious to select a portion of ground which should contain the smallest portion of Salt, so general in the Cape District. To ascertain this, he adopted the simple experiment of taking up portions of the soil in different places, steeping them in water, then draining and evaporating the solution, which pointed out Constantia as the most judicious spot for his purpose. Similar experiments may be of high importance to our new Settlers----May their speculations be succesQal. Your's, mroTus. The Austrian Court went into mourning on the 11th for the Duchess Of .Youii. The Earl of CALEDON is expected in town on Monday next from his seat in Ireland. ' The Merchants of Liverpool, with that com mercial enterprise for which they have always been conspicuous, are now embarking with great spirit in the New South Shetland Fishery ; four ships have already sailed from that port, and three others are ready to proceed with the first fair wind. There are now at the Royal Hotel, Plymouth, the Commissioners of the Navy and Victualling Board, on Surveys of the Establishments at that Port ;—as are also the Commissioners of Inquiry into the different Public Charities in that town. Mrs. Cotrr,, on the late 'Anniversary of the birth-day of Mr. Courrs, gave a plentiful dinner of roast beef and plum-pudding, with a propor tional quantity of ale, and five shillings, to Bach of the debtors confined in the county gaol of Staf fordshire, above fifty in number, of which county this benevolent lady is a native. The greatest harmony and conviviality prevailed ; the health of Mr. and Mrs. COUTTS was drank with loud cheers, and dancing concluded the happiest day ever known within those walls. All ranks in society are looking forward, with intense anxiety, to the resumption of the pro ceedings in the House of Lords, on Tuesday Next. Public attention, however, is not entirely wrapped up in this subject, as another event, in which they are also deeply interested, occur on Thursday, when Two Prizes of XlO,OOO will be decided in the First. Five Minutes; and al thoUgh 4500 Tickets will be drawn that Dav, all will be Prizes. This extraordinary Lottery also contains Two Prizes of 2'20,000, Two Prizes 0f . k10,000 &c. &c. and all to be paid in Sterling Money. FIRE.—A most dreadful fire broke out at Mr. FISHER'S, corn-dealer, in the Broad-way, West minster, at half-past twelve o'clock last night, which consumed the same, and three other ad joining houses, in the occupation of Mr. Ho LLANO, a potatoe-merchant, Mr. COOK, who keeps a cook's-shop, and Mr. FISIIEIt, a surgeon, the whole of which are totally consumed. The Castle public house is much damaged, and some houses in Castle-court, at the back of the premises. Most of the inmates were with much difficulty, saved from the devouring flames ; Mr. HoLLAND was taken out, by force, by Mr. HILL, and Mr. P. SMITII, Mr. 11. declaring that he-would sooner be burnt with his money than leave it behind. Miss lit:lL - LAND and the servant-maid were also brought out by the same Gentlemen, and taken to the house of Mr. 11n1., opposite.. The lower part of the fronts of Mr. grurru's, Mr. Thu.'s, and Mr. WALLS' houses are much damaged, and must have been - consumed, bad the wind upt have shifted from the north-west to the soutt east.—The County Engine was the first on the spot, and is somewhat damaged by the fall of one of the front walls ; but no lives are lost.
