Last evening came into this harbour, the Dart, of
Sunderland, laden with coals. It appears that this vessel,
during the late gales, was seen in the odlnr from SAsea,
with a eag of distress flying, and was, after much per-
sonal labour and risk, beetled by 3 pilot, and several re-
solute boatmen, who, to their astonishment, found the
vessel deserted by her crew. There was a watch lying in
the cabin, with clothes, apparently of passengers, and
every appearance 6f preparation for dinner; but the brig
appeared to have shims! a heavy sea. As the cabin was
full of water, and the long boat was stove, there is too
mach reason to fear that all the persons on board perished ;
hut whether they were washed overboard, or left the shit
in the small boat and were overwhelmed in her, cannot be
codectures% Attempts were made to secure the vessel by
her anchors on the Sussex coast, but they did not succeed. '
awl she went on shore; since which she has hem g.t off,
and as the salvers could nut get her into Chichester har-
bour, they made for this pot t, where they arrived in
safety. By the Act of S.l K:w. I. cap. 4, and 4th of the
same King, cap. 2, it is enacted, dint if a man, a deg, or a
cat, escape alive out of any ellin, such ship shall not he
deemed a wreck ; and as a live cat was found on board this
vessel, she cannot be a droit of Admiralty, but must re-
main in haroIse of the Sheriff, &c. to be restored to the
owner. The Ailmirel Berkeley, that was dismasted, ar,l
went on shore near Hasler, on the 23d. inst., is got off,
come into this harhour, and run on shore on Gosport beach,
where she remains in a bad state. The Matlrae, also out-
ward-bound Indianian, which went on shore in:tele.
Bay en theaaine day; is got off; and come into this liar-
hour, where great ftertions are making with the pumps to
prevent her sialcin.z.
An attempt has been made to get off the Shipley,
transport, on shore at the Saily Port, but hitherto with-
out success.

The 6th (!Ist Warwickshire) regiment of font is ordered.

Axel tST lisme.—At a lit- festive :7eeting in Argyle-
shire, a circumstance of a novel and very intro sting i
character occurrtd. General Campbell of Lochnell rose,
and addressing himself to Captain Al'Dongall of M'Don-
gall, said that he held in his hand a brooch, known by the
name of Brooch of Lorne, which had at one time belonged'
to Ii .n; Robert Bruce. It was taken from the person of 1
that Monarch by his ancestors IliPliougall of Lorne, in I
battle, on a field near Tyridrnin. The fortune, of war, if
the actions of rival clans can be so called, had place) that
brooch in the possession of a relation of the Lochnell
family, Cautpholl, of Bragleen, whose desceedants had
preserved it for about tv'o eentnries. It was his ((eneral
Campbell's) good fortune latch; to obtain possession of it,
and be now bad the satisfaciion of restoring it to the de-
wcenilant of him who had so gloriouaiy watt so proud I',
trophy. Captain Mlictigall made a suitable reply, of
thanks and acknowledgments. The brooch was of silver,
and of a circular Corm, the diameter about three inches. In
the centre is a rock cr)•stal, of an oval shape; the siting
being raised shunt an inch, round which rise t ight tutees,
to the same height, in each of which is 3 rail; between
these is sonic embossed cork.—lnrcrocss Courirr.
The eaeerneve with which the public embark in every

the only anilioriseil clumnel by which it can have vent.
Lotteries are now at their close, and this harmless mode of
adventure will soon be denied to the public ; tits harmless
