The Masters of these Vessels report, that they have had a tedious and boisterous passage--that a violent gale of wind took plate in the •Baltid about the beginning of November lasi-, and that a number of ships were lost in ,the Cattegat, and many of the Crews perished—that such was die violence of the gale, that a Ship belonging tallui, with her sails furled, overset,' and the crew, after clinging to the wreck for some days, were picked up and carried into EisiheUr, having been obliged to subsist on a few candles, the only thing they had left, At tl-,e Corn Market yesterday, the supply was abondant i and the prices declined early in the morn ing ; but towards_ the close of the market they again ath , anced, as sonic speculators came in, and offered hi ker prices for a future day than were demanded. Potatoes titre turned out so plentiful a crop in Cornwall, that a bushel (of three Winchesters) is sold at zs. 6d. The price of beer has been teduced from 6d. to 4d. a quart at Falmouth ; in consequence of there_duCtion in the price of malt and hops, The Mayor of Exeter has ordered that the As size of Bread shall in future be set ; by regulating the. price of the peck, half-peck, and quartern loaf, and not in the old method of selling loaves at stated prices, and altering the wv,ight according to the price of corn.

As an instance of great aetivity, and also of the abundant crop of the season, Thomas Russell, of Leighterton, near Tetbury, a man of small stature, Jug up on Monday the Bth ult. (clearing the ground as he moved) thirty sacks of potatoes, within eight hours and a half ; he, on the following day, dug twenty_five sacks in the same space of time ; and offered to bet a guinea that he in a like space, dig thirty-four sacks on the day following. The sacks'averaged2sB pounds each. Two women attended the whole dine to pick up the roots ; whilt a man was glively employed in carrying them to waggons, brought to the field for conveying them away. Two nondescript birds, which the ship Buffalo brought home from Botany Bay, are now ordered to be landed, and to be sent to the seat of the Marquis of EXETER. A cage has been purposely made for bringing them or, shore, and another for conveying them to his Lordship. They rise in height seven feet from the toe to the point of the beak, and. their form resembles that of an ostrich, with greyish brown plumage, consisting of two feathers in one quill. They are extremely docile, and are with difficulty enraged. When they are in anger, they shew it with no other method than by kicking with the greatest violence. The neck is like that of a swan, and the head and beak greatly resemble those of a goose. Their legs are long, thick, and fea thered ; and when they stand erdt, they are, in form and attitude, nearly perpendicular. The John, Jones, from Cheater to Wexford, is lost—Crew saved. COA.IRION COVNtaIL; YESTERDAY the LORD MAYOR held a Court of Common Council at Guildhall, at which his Lord ship, ten Aldermen, Mr. Common Serjeanr, the Sheriffs, and upwards Of.zso Commoners were pre . - sent. It was referred to the Committee for General Purposes to consider the expediency of,purchasing the places of the Clerks of the Pipers, Clerk-Sitters and Attornies of the Sheriff's Gout, for the use of the Corporation. The Report for regulating the Sale of Fish at Billingsgate Market Was agreed to; and a Petition to the Legislature WaS ordered accordingly. The Committee appointed by this Court for as certaining the Duty and Fees of the Town Clerk, presented an Account of ,Fees taken by him, which was read, and it was referred to the same Committee to ascertain and fix a plan in which way the seven Superior Officers of that Court should take precedence of each other on all public days. The Petition to the House of Commons, praying that a Survey of all Grain, Flour, &c. from which Bread is made, be taken from time to time, was read, and after some amendment being made, was agreed to, and ordered to be presented by the Sheriffs, attend ed by the Remembrancer, to the House of Com mons ; and such Members who have Seats in Parlia. ment, were requested to support the same.

LINES ON THE 4PPROACH OF PEACE, • INSCRIBED TO THE RIGHT HON. MR. ADDINGTON. At length, by thy superior wisdom won, liar bright ey'd Peace, her radiant march begun, At length, undaunted by the cannon's roar, Her dove-like pinion wraps our favor'd Shore; Celestial forms, the children off' delight, In rosy fetters hold the fiend of fight, , • Hang his dark helmet on the myrtle bough, Or bind with olive wreath his blood stain'd brow, While clouds contagious fly at her command, And gleams of glory lighten o'er the land. Tho' memory still will glance a Mourniul'eye To where the gallant sons of Britain lie, Yet let no less repining murmurs breathe O'er blessings, bonOt by honorable death ; Or meaner sorrow, impotent to save, Profanely blight the laurels of the brave; Since from their ashes shall, refulgent, rise The Phcenix, Happiness, to glad our eyes, Consummate Statesman, to whose soul are known, All excellence, and merit, but its own: Again, beneath thy renovating sway; Shall smiliQg Commerce urge its fearless way, Again, each nerve, new-strung to aaive toil, Shall Industry enrich the blooming soil ; Laborious Learning seek its glittering And star-crown'd Science tread her native skies ; Nor, iby thy matchless worth inspired to - sing) Shall silence slumber on the tuneful string, But the fair Muse, whose charming art bestows, To ev'ry bosom, but her own, repose, Fix in th' eternal adamant of Fame , Her Algot:: o - ro res imperishable namee. The Duenna, as usual,' drew a very numerous Audience last night to Drury-Lane Theatre, and Mrs. BILL I NGTON had the most gratifying tribute of universal applause. Cooxt closed his campaign in Borivokth Field last night, for some time. He has wielded the Theatrical truncheon with greit success, in the charaler of R;chard, and he managed it with so much spirit last night, and was so well-attended, that we may say, 6 ! The weary Sun has made a"kolden set." A French Writer has observed, that the Compo sitions of Sacchin; are among the phenomena of the present day, and that they have one excellence which others have not ; that they prove the possibility of energetic Musical Composition, compatible with a pure system of melody—melody which spares both the lungs of the Adresse:, and the ears of the Audi ence. This is no bad hint to the mass of our female Opera Singers, .though it does not apply to the greatest female Singer of the present day. Theatrical pulAng seems to t be carried taa greater height in Ireland than in this Country, in which however it is sufficiently confident.. A Mr. WALKER is performing Macheath. on the R u blin . Sta g e, who is said to have r‘ obtained such estimation in the part in London, that by particulardesire'the played it nine successive nights at the Hay-Market Theatre, with the greatest applause." We believe this same Mr. WALKER, so far from performing Macheath in London by particular desire, has.never - been seen or heard of in Lordon, and it is rather surprizing that our Irish brethren should be insulted by so gross a falsehood. REYNOLDS has given great offence to the Empi. rical World by his eharader of Dr. Infallible, in the Comedy of Folly as it Flies. -Indeed all these medical marauders are so well portrayed in that chara&ter, we may say with the Song in• the Beg gar's Opera, " Each cries that was levell'd at mc." A Mrs. NUNN, it appears, has an annuity upon Drury-lane Theatre. It was hardly to be sup posed that in the female connexions of that Theatre there was much " Nun's flesh." Abdallah MF. NOu has addressed a letter to his brother,. the Mayor of Bonsai, announcing his speedy return to France. ' As thig French General embraced the Mahotnetan Faith, it is surprizing that he' should retain any sense of consanguinity with Christians, and should not rather be disposed to exclaim with Richard, " have no Brother, lam like no BrotherL A Barn door, at Latchingdin, Essex, was blown open on Wednesday night, when six horses got in, and ate , a quantity of wheat that lay upon the floor, and , five of them died .the next morning.

This' Cause toot( up near seven hours, in the course of Which several - Physicians and other Gen tlemen gave their opinion as to the' state of the health of Mr. Robson at the time of 'effect - ling this Policy. Mr. Justice LE BLANC summed up the evidence to the Jury, who, after consulting for -about twenty minutes, found a vetdia for the Plaintiff . --Dainages 3601. Mr. Justice Ls BLANC asked the Jury if he was to understand them that they found Mr. Robson had, at the time of effeEting the Policy no disease tending to shorten life ? They said, they did. And that - they found that no fraud was praftised on the Office on effeaing that Policy ? They an.. swered that also, by saying, they found no fraud. Verdia for Plaintiff—confirmatory of a former . verdiet in the same Cause, before the same Learned Judge - and another Special jury. The remains of Mrs. CRAWFORD, the Aaress, were yesterday morning deposited in. the North Cloister. of Westminster Abbey. Her .coffin was placed _upon that which Con iains the ashes of BARRY.

Private Letters from France - state, that Paris is so full, there are only three Hotels in the- whole City unoccupied and that English Horses arc not permitted to-appear in the streets. • Wine, we understand,. is so dear at Paris; that its high Price almost amounts to a prohibition of its use. On Wednesday last a marriage took place in York, between two persons upwards . of 6o years of age. - During the festival, the bride had made too free with her glass, which caused her tongue to take liberties not consistent with prudence on this happy event. The bridegroom, at length . irritated with disgust at this specimen of her condua, placed her upon the fire, to the no small terror of the 'com pany present ; who, seeing .her situation, rescued' her from danger, and she was carried to bed by two of the bridemaids, being unable to contend any longer with her help -mate, and he, for the first 'time, reigned,triumpliant ; although, it is 'said, she understands the pugilistic art as well as him. A Tradesman in Bond -street, last ,week made a deposit of 300 guineas, in part ofa wager of zoool. that he would walk ninety miles in twenty hour.; ' and a half, being one hour and twenty minutes short of the time which Mr. BAitc LAY took for a. similar performance. The same Tradesman last year, for a wager of zo • guineas, undertook to walk from , London to Hampton Court, , carrying 3olb. weight, in a certain space of time,. which he performed in one 'hour and thirty-one-minutes. • .

In the space of twenty' minutes, he told me that the burning heat which he had experienced was gone, and'that he felt 'a most aFreeal;le warmth. In a short time after this, the pain also, he affirmed, was perfeCtly relieved. I have this day ree6ved x Note from' him, in which he in forms me that the Cure was complete, and that he has ev.- perienced no return."
