Last night, the Lardy revenue-cutter of this har-
bour. sent in a large collier sloop, heavy laden, called
the friends' Guade&id, of Colchester, which she had
re-eaptered off the Light Galloper, near the Good-
win Seeds, in company with another revenue-
cruiser, yesterday morning. The Faired.' Good-
will had beta ceptured the night before by a very
large French bigger privateer, which had likewise
taken a Veit', which is said also to have been re-cap-
. tired by the I.ire.:y, and her companion ; the lug-
ger had put a prize-master and ten ham's on board
the sleep, who were divi,!ed between the twe cutters,
15 re of them were landed here; they app-ered to
be stout able-hudied men, but they were soon after
again shipped on board the cutter, and the whole
were carried to the guard-ship in the Downs, where
they now rernnin.
The wf:nle of yesterday evening, last night, and

the Eastward, 'self a very brisk gale and heavy sea ;
some more colliers came up trona the Westward,
which, along with the Diann sloop of war, and some
other collice, mentioned is my last, remain in the
roads. T'e several ether colliers, tehich came into
harbour, as mentioned in m) letter of yesterday,
along with a great number of other vessels of differ-
ent descriptiotis, continue in the harbour, waiting
for a fair wind.
• Although the weather is exceedlngly Vary and
cloudy, with showers of rain, yet, about n 0.,,. this
day, the atmosphere was so clear over the French
coast, near and abOut Boulogne, we could plainly
discern from the heights, our squadron lying off
that place, with some very large ships amoug. them.
Our gallant Commodore, Sir Sidney Smith, is now
there, and, lam informed, in great force. Great,
indeed, are the expeletions formed here of his en-
terprising and undaunted spirit in this undertaking.
The T; Jima frigate, and a very large hired armee
ship, whore name I could not It-ern came nut of
the Downs and passed down Channel to the West-
ward. lam told they are two new ships added to
the squadron on the Dungeness station, under Sir
Sidney Smith.
A very large merchantmen, w:th letters of merge.,
carrying some light guns, came into the Roads, for
a short time, from use Westward, niter which she
continued her voyage fcr London.
1 he Ariedee ft igete, Cept. King, Commodore of
the Calais Ronne, came down from the Downs, at
three o'clock this afternoon, having ley-to in these
roads for shout half an hour, and sent the heat on
shore. far one cf the officers, who was here; she
stood dirselly across for the French coast.
The hired armed tender the Pied, which has been
re-fitting in this harbour for some days past, and
is considered one of the fastest sailors, and most ac-
tiee in the service, sailed on a cruise this day, having
completed her repairs within the limited period of
fourteen days.

RELFiST. Seer. 24.

The very heavy fall of rain on Friday night, has
done considerable damage to the late harvest in the
lowlands of this neighbourhood. What is of more
importance, the works of Messrs. Grimshaws have
suffered much injury by the moend of their upper
reservoir having given way to the increased pressure
of water, asst its agitation by a high northerly
wind. The impetuosity of the torrent wis fortu-
nately resisted by a large embankment-, which pro-
teaed the main building, containing the spiratiog
machinery. The volume of water, however, ca-
tered the dying houses, making several breaches
there, bursting the fl )oring, and .1 ing great da-
mage to the vats and other implements, a. well as
calicoes and dye-stuff. of that valuable manufac-
tory. Part of the spoils if the flood were carried
down to the sea-shore. in the immediate neighbour.

b!iched ma:l.:Laos., will participate ; but the same
inpenuity that ::eared this useful and ornamental
scene of i:nrrovernent and cultivation, will soon set
all to a.:ain. The hut sting of the dam for-
tunately happened at too early an hour on Siturday
morning to en hanger the lives of the workmen ; and
one of the Mr. Grimshaws had passed a bridge
some secon is before it was swept away.

The following almost unprecedented disastrous
ercuinstance, occurred to a labouring family, at
Parley, in the liumlred of Christchurch, Hat. ;
the recital of which may have a salutary eff..st at
this season of the year, when mushrooms are
in such general Use. MARTIN DEAN, a young
man about 19 years of age, hiving eaten of some
nioshrooms at a ne;rl:l),lti's house, liked them so
moth, that he deter-saline.' to pint:ore some himself ;
accordingly, on Satordl.y, the Llst last instant, he
procured a quanti:y of toad-stools, mistaking them
for mushrooms, and carried them home, when his
mother, being also ignorant of the mistake, prepared
them fur dinner, and, with her husband, went on
business to Ringwood. In the mean time, MA STII4
! DEAN dressed the supposed mushrooms, and, with'
his brothers and sisters (five in nuliber), partook'
of them ; but, shocking to relate, their poisonous
quality was soon experiences, for the whole family
were, in a short time, in the greatest agonies ; and
Death the nest day put a period to the existence of
Smutty, one of them ; and, the following day, to
that of H and MA r. rim, the sad cause of
this most unfortunate accide%t. The other three
children continue in a very dangerous state; but it
is hoped that the merhcal aSSiatAIICC afforded them
will not prove unavailing. An inquest .vas taken
on the three deceased bodily, on the 24th last, by
Mr. BALDWIN. Veldias—Acrritenial Death.
