TuesdaY, December 27, 1814. • To Dr. it. Reece. • TO THE Enrrort. Sta,—in looking over the 2d Volume of the " Beauties of Scotland," I was struck with the resemblance between the Visions of a Mrs. Buchan of Scotland, and those of our own Joanna. The former Lady had the address to persuade a Minis ter of the Relief Congregation in the town Of Ir . vine, Airshire, to. adopt many strange doctrinal notions, and impressed him and simme others with the 6rni belief that she was the %Vogul') clothed with the Sun, spoken' of in the 12th chapter of the Revelations, and that, Mr. White (the Minis ter) was the man-child she had (spiritually) brought forth. She. went on . from one extrava gance to another, till the Magistrates of Irvine were prevailed on by the sober inhabitants, in order to preserve the public tranquillity, to dis miss her from the place. This occurred at late as May, 1787. - She • retired, by easy jotrnies,•with Mr. White, and about 40 followers, to Close burgh, in Dumfriesshire, singing hymns as they went, and declaring .they were on the march to the New Jerusalem ! She at length 'Fed, and her delwied adherents refused to allow her to be bu- • ried, in foil expectation of a speedy resurrectkn ; in . which be:ug disappointed, they at length dis uersed ;- -and (says the author) the affair was no more he<ud ot. '22d Dccesu3er, 1814. T. 11. C. GRAND ASSEMBLY OF FREEMASONS. Yesterday being Sc. JOHN'S Day, the half yearly installation of Grand Of took place at the VrteilLiSMlS . Tavern, Great Queen-street, whe7: his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX was installed Grand Master of the-United Free masons of England. Freemasons' Hall was most snperbly fitted up, and tiled from the outward po...ch; the Bast.-was reserved for the• Grand Mas ter, -Grand Officers and vkitors ; the Masters, Past-Masters,. and - Officers Of the several Lodges tint: awnded were arranged , on both s;des, to tine amount of nine hundred, the Masters standing in -front, and the Wardens, Deacons, &C behind, sitting on forms. At.two o'clock the grand pro cession took place from the Great Hall to the Giant[Lodge Room. His Royal Hightim. the Duke of SUSSEX, Grand Master, was supported by his Royal Brother, the Duke of KENT, Lord DuNDAs, and the other Grand Officers, Brothers, &c. The organ was conducted by Brother WEST. LEY. The sight was truly grand, to see so many Brothers, all dressed in the insignia of their re spective Orders, enter the Grand Lodge Room, accompanied. by the Rev. Dr. COGHLAN, the Grand Chaplain. After the ceremony, the Bro-. tilers returned to divest themselves, after which there was a most sumptuous dinner, and the day was spent in the utmost conviviality. The band of vocal performers was numerous. The following Grand Officers were proclaimed for the year ensuing : His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex was installed Grand Master. The Itight Hon. Lord Dundas, proclaimed Deputy- Grand -Master. Isaac Linde, Esq. Senior Grand Warden. The Hon. Archibald Macdonald, Junior Grand - Warden. John Dent, Esq. Grand Treasurer.

SNOW, PLOW.- The following is a description of an improved Snow Plow, the use of which the Postmasters- General, with their wonted attention to every thing whicn can, hi:their department, contribute' to the public convenience and dispatch of .blisi ness, have been employing all the means in ,their power to introduce throughout the country. The Plow is 'worked by two horses attached to whip ping or sp:inter-bar, and clears the snow to. tkc width of seven feet, thus rendering the most dif ficult roads immediately passable for carriages, and convenient for every description of travelling. We understand that it is heady similar to those of the North of Europe, and have little doubt but on its simplicity and great ntility being made known, it will be biought into activity- in every parish in Great 13rtain. " The pole to he made of tough ash, and to be, 15 feet long, exclusive of 1 foot, which must go into the futchels and fasten by an iron pin. At the other end, to be fined to' two ribs or joists, which cross the hose of the 'plough ;.4 feet from the ground, one at-2 feet from the nose, and the other at 4 feet, according to the dotted lines. The nose to be shod with an iron clip ; the boards on each side to be 1-inch plank 6 feet long and _4 feet bro a d ) an d withatft a bottom. The phyliOt which follows the Irorses to be 3 feet wide in front, G feet long, 4 feeChigh, and 7 feet wide behind. The splinte r b ar t o b e 4L' feet long. A- chair f or a drive r may be fixed on the top, which may be be covered with plank, .on which, if needful, add weights., This- Plough' also need not have a bot tom. If. the nose sholihi run into the ground,' a man may walk between the-sides to raise it ocea-• siunully." THE THEATRE.—After The Lord of the Manor, . the new Pantomime of flarlequik , Whittington, Lord Mayor of London, was lepreeenteditgain at Covent-Garden_Thentre last night, and was well received by the holiday folks, who, however, were so very turbulent during the Play, that ,it was hardly possible for the andience in tile lower circles to hear much of the dialogue, .or fain any conception of the plot.. Tile Pantomime went off very well, and at the close of the fire-winks an illuminated .pedestal appeared, on which was seen, in conspicuous chanicters, " -Peace. with America." This temporary allusion was much ap plauded, brit whether for itself, or the event which it recorded, we leave politicians to decide. CORN EXCHANGE, Drc. 28.—We had but few arrivals,- except with Foreign Wheat, and scarcely any thing doing ; indeed the sales were so few the prices must be noted nominally the same as 'onAlonday. _ It is said that twenty new regiments of foot are to be formed of returned French prisoners. There is no talk of increasing the cavalry, but the regi ments of cavalry are, however, completed. The French character is, ,in the opinion of BtyoNAPARTE, very fickle. Somebody told him his statue was taken down from the grand pillar— " Well," said he, " and what have they put up in its stead ?" The person to whom he spoke an , ,wered, "'the Bourbon flag.", " They (night," ,said he, " to hare put up a weathercock." We are requested to state that Policies of the Eagle Insurance Company, expiring at Christmas, may he renewed within fifteen days from that pe riod, at either of their Offices in Cornhill.or the Haymarket, where Annuities are granted, and • purchase and every description of Life and Fire Insurance effected on the most equitable turns.

About 11 o'clock a sloop called the Nelly and Betty, (whin had sailed from tire` Isle of Man, about 2 o'clock the same morning), in attempting to get into the harbour,- was, by the violence of the wind andth , , sea (which was at that, time raging istonishingiy) driven behind the North Wall. The crew en , !ca - voured to keep the vessel under the shelter of that pier ; but all their effOrt§ proved, 'ineffectual ; the surf carried her towards Itedtivss POint, • a distance of about half a mile from the mouth of the harbour, where she struck, and inevitable destruction seemed to await her and all on board ; amongst whom was a female passenger. Nuwbers k.f people flocked to the beach, many of ‘dtoin followed the tessel till she struck, when with the bravery and generosiiy of British seamen, a. sufficient niicir ber immediately, formed a connected line, by joining hands, and stood' in .the water until they nearly reached the lee side of the vessel ; and by a rope thrown on shore, and taking advantage of the reeeditig wave,. the crew were, one after another, enabled to quit the vessel and by assistance ,;:coin the shore, were brought into . safety. - But when the crew had been rescued, the female passenger remained Oil board alone. Unequal to the dangerous attempt-of leap- . ing•overboard, her situation appeared hopeless. At that instant, Alexander Carr, a young 'man ', (a mariner belonging to this port), watching the . ‘ receding element,. Sprung towards the vessel, arid, reaching the . chains, raised him Self up to .the deck, and immediately fastened the rope round the . por woman's waist (then almost dead with terror), and holding her over the side until a favourable opportunity offered to lower as far as he. could; ;hen dropped hi; charge, which was immediately drawn to the shore by the volunteers employed in that humane ser . %Tiee. The yoang wan having thus saved the life of a fellow,erea tnre, at the great peril and risk of his own, leap ed down front the sloop, again committing him self to the mercy of. the waves, and was assisted in getting on shore amidst the acclamations of the multitude: At tittles the u'hole of both har4Ours resembled one sheet'of-turuttlent water ; beyond which, from the extreme haze of the atmosphere, it was impossible to see a quarter of a wile. Pro - - videntiallv -no lives Were lost.' At Sheffield, many chiainies and roofs of houses were damaged. . • Youx.—During the tremendous gale on Friday, part of the engine -chimney adjoining the factory Nf •Whitehead and Pearson; on Bradford-moor, Yorkshire, was thrown down, and falling throttgh the roof, did priach vlamage to a new building ad joining the Bank, iu Low Ousegate ; and the fail ing of bricks and tiles rendered the passing along the streets extremely unsafe. About a dozen .nei trees upon - the walk were torn up, and in conse quence of being flooded at the time, the roofs of a great many more ma: loosened. At Lancaster the tide began to flow about two hours earlier than set "down in the tide-table; the coach from Ulverston, crossing the Lancdster Sands, was obliged to make for the shore abitve Silverdale. The'tide continued to flow about halt an hour later, and was>bettveen six and seVen feet higher than mentioned in the table. It-inundat ed St. f4corge's Quay, Lancaster. • During the heavy gales on Friday last many persons were hurt by the falling of bricks and slates front the houses in this town, but we haVe heard of only two serious injuries being"austain ed, vii. an elderly woman had her head severely. cut by a brick in Old Hall -street, and a man bait his arm broke in Liver -street, by a slate; but we understand they are both doing well. Numerous were the narrow es,apes, particularly in the in stance of . a' family in the park, ‘vho fortunately happened to leave their house in time to escape complete destruction, which in all probability, would otherwise have ensued, as it was blown down, and became in an instant one heap of rub bish. The rummer of cbiinnies desttoyed exceeds any thing ever remembered..
