SCARROPOI*6II. OCT. 11—During Sunday night it came on
to Wow a gale from the southeast, and before morning it backed
or veered to east-sou:lt-east or east, and continued to blow tee-
meaduously, ail Monthly, and up to this time. In the afternoon
of yesterday the P.oepscr, of this port, Edmond, came on sh: re a
little to the westward of the west pier, but es the beach where she
lies is fine sand, she will be got off with little damage, when the
gale abate,. : crew saved by the life-boat. Shortly after, the Hebe.

by the life-boat. At the time I am writing, two sloops hare just
arrived at the mouth of the harbour, and will be got into safety as
the tile flows. Another sloop, and a Dutch vessel, have just conic

THE LATE BOISTEROUS WEATHER.
The letters received yesterday from the outports, notice
the melancholy circumstance of several vessels having been
driven on shore during thdlate heavy gales, particularly on
the north-eastern coast, and intelligence is expected of still
vositer losses from the continuaPice of boisterous weather.

.... CT OP ABOTEGIN PRIVATE LETTEB.
*NEAR WHITNY, MONDAY EVENING, OCT. 11.
" We sailed about one o'clock on the day I left you (Monday,
(let. 4), but did not get out of the river till Wednesday, the vire-
Met being very wet and uncomfortable during the whole of th tt
dine. On Saturday noon we had got as far as Scarborough, when it
began to blow hard, with a heavy sea; we however persevered, and
gotta far as Peak, when, the wind increasing, with a heavy swell,
we bore away and reached the harbour of Scarborough in safety.
Thereat morning I srt of for K. H.Q., where I had the happiness
of teeming all my family in good health.
" I have great cause for thankfulness, in having it in my power
to send you this account, as we have had nothing but a continued
Yale ever since, which has this day been dreadful beyond descrip.
tion, and presented a shocking spectacle to our eyes; first, whilst
siring at dinner, a brig ran on t/hore, close to the point at 3lillbeck,
the erew were fortunately got safe on shore, btu the vessel is wreck.
ed. Soon after a schooner Tait on the rocks near the Peak, and
west all to pieces, when, no doubt, all perished. Immediately •
after this, a brig attempted to ran on shore near Bay, but, dreadful
to relate, being unable, for want of sale (her foresail beinbtenagga
to wear her, so as to come in before the sea, she broached
to, and was overwhelmed in a moment, and every soul perished.
A minute or two afterwards, I saw her bottom upwards, in which
state .he continued a few minutes, and then sunk. After this,
another came on shore, close to the town, the people of which won
all saved, and as the ship is on the sand, it may probably be got dl
again. Four sail, I hear, have already gone on shore on the NW
at ‘rhitby, and I fear the accounts along the coast will be dread.
fail indeed, sea it is thought the number of light ships on their pas-
sage is very great, and the gale still continues.
"TUESDAY MORNING, NINE O'CLOCK.
" The gale still continues ; one vessel is just come on shore;
soother in sight dismastcd, driving in very fast, and lamentable to
say, without a hope of escape for the crew; two others are said to
have sunk during the night, near Peet, and all lost."
eernacr Or a LETTER TROD EAST ORINSTEAD, DATED
OCTOBER 11.
It is remarkable, that the rains have been greater in Sasses for
the last fortnight titan was ever remembered at this time of year.
Thr floods are out in the meadows and marshes of the Medway to
such a degrie, that the cattle have been lost in them, and numbers
destroyed, and the water rutting in torrents into the smaller
streams, and ovetilowing of that river, have completelysiwamped
many hundreds of acres. At the moment we are now writing, all
the hubb.,ndmen are employed in getting the remainder of the
swede nut of the meadows dl along the course of the 31edway, and
it continues raining with great violence. In some places the low
lands have the appearance of vast lakes. A member of the Mete-
ovolorical Society has compared the quantity of rain fallen with
the Records of a Journal of twenty years, and has found no in-
stance recorded of such a quantity having fallen in the same space
or tone.

... --
FLOODS IN THE MIDLAND COUNTIES.
The continued rains of the last week have caused a more
extensive flood on the Derwent than any one that has taken
place for many years. The Nottingham and Chesterfield
roads in the tu:ighbourhood of Derby have been completely
inundated, the latter, we understand, was impassable; in
fact the whole valley of the Derwent has been covered with
water. We have not at present heard that much damage
has been committed, but we fear when the flood subsides
the fanners will discover that they have sustained more in-
jury than they are at present aware of. The Markeaton
Brook was also swelled to such a height as to render the
Wardwick and Brookside inaccessible on Sunday and Mon-
day nights.
The only misfortune we have at present heard of is that
sustained by Mr. Parker. of Onnaston, near this town, who
has, we learn, lost four horses in a most extraordinary
manner. Ile had sent a waggon, with two men, to carry
away a number of sheep which were in great danger, near
the Dead Inners; in attempting to cross the road which
divides there waters, both the men and horses missed it,
and with the waggon were precipitated into a very deep
hole. One of the men, we believe, rolled over with the
waggon several times, and indeed their escape seems to
have been almost miraculous ; the horses, however, were
lost. We understand that the whole of the sheep (up-
wards of sixty), with the exception of three, were alter-
wards saved by means of a boat.
W understand that nearly three inches of rain fell in
the course of Saturday and Sunday. The rain has now
ceased, and we hope that the weather is about to become
more settled.

Slucc writing the above, we have been favoured with
the following, dated Duffield, Oct. 12.—" The late heavy
sql almost incessant rains have caused larger floods on the
Rivers Drcrwent and Ecelesbourne at this place since last
Sunday evening, than have been known fur nearly twenty
years past. The former river is still rising. About nine
o'clock this morning, as the Nottingham and Manchester
Nelson coach was on its usual way from this place to Mil-
ford, it was entirely prevented from proceeding by deep
water. The horses became unruly, and the harness broke,
so that the coach, with passengers, coachman and
goard, were under the necessity of being immediately
drawn back by men to the White Hart Inn, at Duffield.
The coach has this afternoon proceeded to Milford, Belper,
&c. (through the private grounds of the Rev. IV. Barber,
Messrs. Strutt, &c.) accompanied by the two Bermingham
and Sheffield coaches, and the Birmingham and Sheffield
Mail Coach, which was prevented going its usual road
from Derby to Alfreton, by Little Eaton, Ripley, &c.
morning a poor travelling man was found dead on
the road between I)uffield and Ilazlewond, supposed to
have unfortunately perished by the heavy rain and cold."—

How TO Res P A Mites-Dsr.---Mr. —, who keeps
a shop where eettein stimuli are, or may be purchased, and
who is, moreover, somewhat of a been savant, determined to
keep his hirth-dav, which, of all the days in the year, fell
on last Friday. Now every hotly knows, or ought to know,
that Friday is an unlucky day, and so it proved to Mr.—.
After partaking of a good dinner, which ras duly moistened
with numerous potations of neat brandy, Boldface felt
himself (as who would not do under similar circumstances?)
superlatively happy. The house of Mr. —, like many
other houses is hire ?wise, (this for the initiated) had a
sign projecting from it, which sign indicated, denoted, or
proclaimed that the wayfaring man might there meet with
refrishment. As the d-1 would have it, Mr. —, who
was too comfortable to remain silent, took it into his head
that he wouhl speechify a little, and he could find no place
so well 'adapted to this purpose as the top of the above-
mentioned sign. We are of opinion that the nearer a man
who is hae;lii norms, or tipsy, keeps to the groynd the safer
he is, earn mote fumosi spiritus ex vino in caplet exhalant,
which means, yon should always sit still when getting
drunk. Well, Mr. took his station upon the said
sign, and after declaring to a rather crowded audience, he
envied cot the gods, by way of peroration, he exclaimed,
" Anti now, my friends I will show you the shortest way
of going down stairs." In saying which he unfortunately
felifrom his eh:ration, and we are really sorry to learn, dis-
located his aucle, and was otherwise touch
Packet.
NOTIIINC LUCE LI:ATM/L.—We state as a fact, that
there is now living in the parish of Brightwell, in this
county, a man named Wm. Wise, shepherd to Mr. Richard
Savo., who is is the daily habit of wearing a pair of leather
brtitelics, which he has actually siever failed to put on for
the last forty-five years.
