NASSAU, (BAUATAAS), JULY 25. bti Wednesday last, we experienced the most dreadful hurricane that ever was felt in these Islands du r i ng its continuance ; and as we have had frequent tain s during the season, accompanied with thunder and lightning, we had hoped to be exempted from this dreadful calamity ; but for some weeks past we have had neither rain, thunder, or lightning, not withstanding the weather has been very warm and close. ~,t and zi&t.._ the wind zof to the N. E. and on tne zzu, in tne morning, tchlew fresh from E.N.E. getting more to the Northward with great violence. About twelve o'clock we became greatly alarmed, and by two o'clock it blew a hurricane.-- The Vessels then began to drive from their moor.. ings, notwithstanding all the masts were struck, and theititnthors down, and every possible precau ,tion used to snake them keep their moorings ; luckily there wk's less shipping in the Harbour than there usually is at this tune of the year ; but the whole drove from their moorings, and came in a airing on the shore. The tide was flowing, 'and as it rose, the hturi. tine intreased in violence until the wind came due worth ; very fortunately this doste all the vessels ?ti the town side of the harbour and prevented them barn driving out to sea, for by three o'clotk there :Was :,zarcely a vessel in the harbour. The British ,!who had captured a Guineaman, which lay up Te harbour ; but she parted from her anchors and drove towards the town, struck on the ground, and tot on her beam ends : the seamen got to leeward eft het aides, and =so slaves on board between decks ere in the most imminent danger. After a.short time the vessel fortimately righted and drove on snore, w h ere t h e crew and slaves were unexpeftedly Preserved. 'knottier Guineaman, named the Gorge, which Only arrived on the 2 ist, got on shor e, and 1V35 in „.'e greatest danger, but the crew and slaves were artunately saved. Af t er three o'clock the wine began to get about i o t h e Eastward, but without any diminution of 4 violenee, and the spray of the Sea rose in such clouds, as to render objeels at a small distance in... • , visible. At about half past four the wind got %and to the East, and kept veering aboet with the t e nns a sure prognostic that the gale ul (I not be long continuance, but still its violence was ra°ated. About this time the tide began to ebb bef ore the wind got round to the Southward, other.. Wis e the. vessels must unavoidably have been driven to sea, and would in all probability have been to ll lost, but as they were all driven up at high Waters none of them were blown off. About sunset, the wind had got round to the oath, and still blew with much violence, but as the town and harbour were sheltered by the hills, It was not much felt there, and by eight or nine o'clock, when the sun set, there was nothing re olaining but a fresh gale. There is scarcely any such thing'as estimating the lass occasioned in these few hours, but it is generally Fought to amount to tOo,oool. This may be credited, when you learn that at one time we counted one hundred and twenty vessels stranded ; b esides sev e r a l t hat we re s unk a n d cru s hed to pieces k other vessels. The masts of the vessels were not " , I , 4 *Y; they were literally blown away. One kjuineamen lost her'sj together with. the bow- It ' by rite sheer force.of the wind. LonMeda,n Y bu v t :ssels are bilged, and man totally aban in general, there are hopes of saving most o f those that were stranded: On shore, the damage done has been equal, in Comparison, with that at sea. Mr. Hall's beauti.. ful plantation of cocoa nuts has suffered greatly ; Mr• k . erguson's and Mr. Howie's houses, in the town, have also felt the effects greatly: The sea to the Southward of Fort Montague made a breach through the Sandhills, and has filled the valley to the Westward of it many feet deep.-- ln shnrre the. bright nf - rr.oumprion to attempt to estimate the lots sustained by this dreadful hut lieanei a s no one knows the extent of his loss ; but w e are happy to learn, that the violence of this ericane has not been felt at any great distance : 411 this Island, as several Vessels have since ar. d, ved 's Which only expettenced a gale of wind at e• tulle we suffered so dreadfully. r it ll ourrtm..hillirctr.—Notwithstanding the eonti. , rain, Greenwich Annual Row ing.Match, for different prizes, took place on Tuesday, by seven the Loyal Water Fencibles, The Prize Boat was 1 1 9' by a young man of Ki ng ' s - sta it s .—H er Royal te l Xhoess the PRINCESS of WALES viewed the con. from the balcony of the Governor's house % and PPeared much pleased with the scene. )I,±VPoney.ltace, for ten guineas, was run for at ;4 7 St. Helena, on the Dcptford,rwd, on Monday i po t t tnoon„ by three f amous ponies.--The winning ri eY (Margate) fell just after he passed the win. ti, s t-post,. a n d ro ll e d upon t h e young l a d w h o ro d e r " l 3 who was so muc h h urt as to b e t a k en o ff the - Ohe kr Ne h as b een p l ease d to present the Rev.

Our Troops were rather sickly, and amongst the sick were Gerierals HUTCHINSON, DOYLE, and CRADDOCK: MENOU refused to surrender, and our Army was preparing to march against Alexandria, which was in want of flour, wine, and oil. Commissary Morz was dead. Porto Ferrajo holds out stoutly. Admiral Sir 3. B. WARREN was gone to blockade Toulon. We have taken a French Frigate. THE THEATRE. Drury-Lane. The Wheel of Fortune, which, in point of dia logue, is much superior to the ordinary prOdudions of modern Comedy, was last night represented at this Theatre, and very well attended. KvaßLE's merit in P enruddoek, has long re ceived the suffrages of criticism, and he exerts the same spirit, and exhibits the same skill that origi nally enabled him, in this charader, to increase his high reputation. Indeed it may be said, that hav ing so often performed the part, he has a fuller com prehension of its scope, and embodies it with a more dignified energy and feeling. The part of Governor Tempest was performed by Dowrox, but with a degree of merit much below that of KING. DOWTON marks his performance with force, but it is a force that does not blend with humour, and is generally tooharsh and crabbed. There was no want of fireinCitAßLEs KEmBLE's representation of Captain Woodville, but it was a ire rather of that kind which belongs to the race of Tragic Heroes, than to the manners and passions of passing life. • The stern qualities and austere demeanor of P‘n ruddork were most divertingly relieved by the quaint humour of SUETT in Weazle, SUETT is an original Aetor, and one whose very extriivagancies arc founded in Nature, and a true sense of Comedy. Mrs. POWELL appears to more than usual advan tage in Mrs. Woodville, uniting maternal, and con jugal affection with an interesting dejeaion, arising from self-reproach on the sense of her former in justice tel Penrud,-. 7 c:ck. Miss Mt i.t.o N, by a pleasing mixture of : vivacity and tenderness in Emily Tempest, strongly in •dicated an improvement in her profession. We cannot say much in favour of the rest of the Dra matis Personae, and, therefore, we drop the curtain. OLD BAILEY. EIGHTH DAY-THURSDAY, SEPT. 24.

BULL.:I3ATTING.—A great number of person's of all descriptions ; but principally from Tothill_fields, Spital-fields, Kent-street, and the Mint, assembled at New Cross, on Wednesday, for the savage pose of baiting a game young bull; The Magistrates and Officers dispersed diem from thence; and they adjourned to Deptford Common ; • where the bull, after killing two dogs, broke loose, and hurt seve ral persons very severely before be could be se cured, FORGERY. THE folhAving are 'the particulars of the trial of George Fearns, at .the . la - si — Stafford Assizes, for Forgery.: . • .. . . , In consequence of information received by the • . • Batik of England relative to YearnS, they sent di reAiOn's .to their. agents in •Mai*heStereto lay someplan .for the detOtiOn of die 'Prisoner oner in the utter ing of forged Bank:Notes: Instrul ons were, in consequence, given to Mr. Nadin (the well known and very aCtlve Constable of Manchester) ; and on the Ist instant,. Me:Nadir); accompanied by Mr: Marshall Knowles (another Constable of Manches ter), went to_ the ho.use of Fe-aril's; known by the name' of the BOttoni Public House, four or five miles from Leek; it was near eleven at night when they arrived there ; Nadin, under the name of William Oliver, and Knowles, by his Christian name of Marshall, disguised as hawking pedlars as a confirmation of that being their business, they had with them a quantity of maslins; prints, &c. with a one horse chaise or cart. Fearns himself attended them, and the only observation Nadin thought proper to make that evening to the Pri soner, was, " it is bad times, and a man has foae, work to live honestly." In the morning, (at an early breakfast, of which Fearns partook,) Nadin ordered some ruin and milk, and justly supposing that a man who was gUilty of one species of vil lany, would not be very scrupulous, if opportu- nity offered, of committing another, found fault with the rum, and asked where he bought it ? Fearns replied, of a man at Manchester. Nadin said he dealt in that article, and could help him to some very cheap: Fearns said, I suppose you are a Smuggler ; but how low can you afford it ? the other answered, at 6s. and 6s. and 6d. a gal lon ; Fearns immediately ordered any quantity, but asked how he could manage to send it, with out the Exciseman knowing of it ? Nadin inform. ed him that he put a cask of 20 or 2t gallons into a barrel of American Fluor, put flour round it, and sent it as flour : Fearns said that was a good plan. Nadin and Knowles now shewed their goods to Fearns, asking him a price, not a fourth part of their value ; and Nadin said to Knowles, " Mar. shall, when did that man say he would send the swag," (for an explanation of the cant terms, see the end of this account,) on which Fearns said be supposed they were spoke to (pointing to the goods) which Nadin said was the case. During the Con versation relative to these goods, Nadin put down a forged Halifax One Guieea Note ; Fearns said lie could not change it ; Nadin told hint he did not want it chaited, he wanted him to 'look at it, and say if it was not, well 'done ; Prisoner said, he saw it was a forged one, and thought it was badly done. - Nadin then asked Knowles where the screeves were, (on his using this cant term, he ob. served Fearns' countenance to change ; he had looked rather gloomy before, but now he appeared quite licksome); Fearns said, the screeve business was very good two or three years ago, bit one Jackson had quite spoiled it ; Nadin asked where Jackson was ? Fearns replied, he is gone eta of the Country, about some heifers. Nadin now she wed him some forged Bank of England Notes (which he in formed the Court he had from a person who p was sentenced to Transportation at. Chester Assizes, for having them in his possession); Fearns said these were very badly executed ; Nadin said he thought he had never seen any that were better done ; he had smashed several, and had no doubt but he should smash a great many more. Fearns asked where he got them ? Nadin. said he had them from one Ben Baker, but be was at a loss how to get any more . , as Baker .was run away. Fearns asked what he gave for the 11. screeves ? Nadin replied Bs. 6,1. and 14s. for the zl's. Fearns said, that is the price I give for them ; but you must not offer to s'mesie any in Leek or Congleton, for if you do yOu will be Iced dire&ly; Nadin said he had sniashed one at the Bull, in Congleton. Fearns said, it is a wonder you was not leg'd : a man ivas taken up there a little time ago, who is now in Chester gaol, and has been snitching about ine, and the Constables and Cavalry from Leek have been and searched my houses and several other houses about here, that deal in the screeve way; Nadin asked him how he knew the man had snitched of him ? He said the man had wrote some letters to his friends at Wal sall; which were dirthed to be left at my .house, and when I saw the CheSter post mark on them, I guessed who they were from, and so opened them: Prisoner then asked Nadin; if he ever dealt in 51. or 161. screeves Nadin Said he never saw any; he wished he could get some, and then he would go to Ireland, and buy salt beef and pork, and could pass any quantity there. Fearns said, he did not mind if he went with them.—Kriowles, Who had just before left the room; came in, and said, there was a man at the door, who, he thought, came from Manchester ; on which Nadin said, you must not let any body in here, these goo& are all spoke to, and if any .body 'sees them and me; I shall be taken up ; Fearns said he might be quiet there, nobody should tome into that room ; and added, I Will thew you a . 51; screeve before you. go: • He then went out tel the person; who -was a liquor merchant, and in about an 'hour after returned to Nadin anti Knowles, and brought with him a et. and ti. notes saying, these are articles, look at mine and look atyours ; Nadin said he never saw a, 51. screeve before; and asked what he should give for it ? Fearns replied, he gave a 'guinea and • a half for it ; and; being again called out, twitched the note from Nadin, put it into his coat pocket, and went out of the room ; after he had stayed souse time; Nadin began to think he would not sell any of the notes, he therefore diteded Knowles, under the pretence of going fdr a swag; • to fetch the Constables from Leek, that Fearns might be apprehended tinder the late aEt Of Parliainent, for having the notes in his possession ; haft after Fearns had been absent an Wilt, or more; be again return. ed; and; holding two notes in his hand; Nadin Of fered him three guineas for the'mi Stitiposing they Were two sq; notes ; on which Ferns looked ear nestly at him; and said; Aye man I but one is a tor. screeve; Nadin then agreed with him' for the TOL note at three guineas, the 5 7 1. one at One guinea and a half; and a tl. note at half a guinea ; • he . then put his hand into an inside waistcoat pocket; and pulling out a canvass bag, took' from it a 51, and tl. ;late, which Nadin also, wanted to biiy but PriSo‘ier refused to part with these, saying lie was going, into Yorkshire soon; and-u14.4.- . 4,, 1 g. f , theiti fur .their full value; he then 'direaed. Nadirs to atte'nd to the dateS of the notes, and . to setl thtin accordingly ; arid said, this most be done by ruWoing them with a sweaty hand, and all one way; that'he must nOt'squeete or rumple them in 111. hand, •as the imitation of the watermark was done . with a stiff substance, and if he squeezed it, it would break all illto boles ; he added; these are a good sort', triy brother Tom and I played the devil with them in Wales, last Chester fair : we went to the fair, and fl-om thence to Wales; Where we smashed about sod!. worth. Nadin asked in what he laid them out ; he replied; in horses and cattle; which I took into Nottirghamshire and sold ; I have a licence to deal in horses, Ile then asked Nadin if he knew Long Tom ? ht said, do you mean Tom Morley. FearnS said he did not know. his surnaine, but that was the than he had them of ; he conies here, said he, once a month ; it is now three weeks since he was here, he will be here again next week, and you may then have any quantity. The Constables from Leek were now arrived ; Fearns *As taken into custody, and the next morning was committed to the county gaol by the Rev—Mr. Powis. Mr. Nadin underwent a Severe cross exarnina - don by Mr. Serjeant WILLtANis, but without least variation in his evidence, which was fully con firmed by Mr; Knowles; whose evidence exadli corresponded with that of Mr. Nadin. M. Glower; Inspeaor from the Bank, ed that the several Bills purchased by Mr. Nadir from the ,Ptisorict, and these found upon him, were all forged:. The Piisoner being called Upon fot his defence, said he kne* nothing of the notes in question : he did not sell thern, and he had Witnesses to prove he did not. James floor stated himself to be a bread baker, and dealer in flour, living beak the Prisoner's house; said he was there at the same tine with Mr. Nadin and Knowles, and all the time that Knowles was absent, during which no such conversation as that stated by Mi. i‘radiri, passed between him and the Prisoner; nor 'did be hear of or see any notes, which he most have 'done if the Prisoner had sold Or paid any to Nadin ; he alSo contraditfted all the principal circumstances. The jury, Without hesitation, found Feaos Guilty. Bloor, the Witness, was taken into custody, the solicitor for, the Bank undertaking CO prosecute him for perjury at the next assizes. In paSSing sentence on Fearns his Lordship told hira; hi' was a crime that prevnnted any applica= tion for mercy ; the Paper Credit was now the se. curity of the affluence, the riches; and,the power of the Country, and if Forgeries were so frequent, and so well imitated the originals that the most wary might be 'deceived, they must be stopped, or there would be an end to commerce; an end to us as A country: Forgeries like these atfeaed the property of tote people; in a way tairist which they had no security a man might prevent being rob bed of much on the highway; by carrying but little With him . ; doors and windows might be barred ; but against forgery there was no security ; if; for instance, the paper credit of the Bank of England was destroyed by the nuinetoas forgeries upon it, or if they were Obliged to pay thoe forged Bills; it Must (vast as Was its capital) be its ruin. To *hat extent these forgeries 'are carried, some faint idea may be conceived, when the Prisoner himself oWnS that in one journey he passed away upwards of 5001. worth. But there was another bar to mercy for the:Prisoner, and another high aggrava tion of his crime he had broelght forward a man (Bloor), who in the most gross; most impudent, and shameful manner; came into that Court to coin nit a wilful perjury ; who swore that he had not seen the father, brother; or servant of the Pri. loner since he tame to this place; when by the Most respeaahle Witnesses it was clearly proved he had been with them; ate and drank with them, and even slept with one of them. He hoped the repeated conviftions would convince those whd were concerned in this milk, that it was impose Bible for them to carry on thii nefarious trade with out detection. Last summer it was his painful duty; at the Assizes at Warwick, to preside at the trials of several of the rnanufaClurets of these sort of Notes ; they had . long carried on this trade, and by dealing with Persons as infarnaus as thernselves, and only with one at a time, they thought them_ selves quite secure; but they were `betrayed by'a Man as infathous as any of them; on whose eVidence, corroborated by the Most undeniable and credible Witnesses; they were convi6ted, and no leSs than nine were sentenced to death; which sentences were fulfilled. In the present instance; Yearns gave his confidence_tO two men; strangers to him, because they found means to 'satisfy hiM they were as wicked; as infainous as himself. His Lordship then More partieUlarly addiessing the Prisoner, informed him that .When a crime, like his was proved; the Law must take its course, he therefore advised him to eitiplOy the short tine he had to remain in this world; in eiideavottring to obtain rardon for his Many tilt - ties; and earnestly to ask forgiveness of Heaven; for on Earth the gates of mercy were shut against him. His Lordship then; in the most awful 'and impressive manner, pronounced sentence of Death. reams was executed On the gth of Atignst: The folloWing is an explanation of the cant terrns Used in the above trial: 1 ,- 1;w-1.4:ark Dili tlt.
