M YE lINE SS—Nov. 20.

,

Ott the 3.1 inst. the filaustd, Smith, from LeirS
to this port, with a valuable cargo of goods, mira-
culously escaped total shipwreck, from the steadi-
ness of the master and crew, and the prompt and
humane efforts of the inhabitants of Buie. She
sailed front Fraserhurgh on the 1.:4 with wind S.
W. and reached Spey Bay, when the wind shifted
to the west, so as to tender it impossible for she ves-
sel to make Cromarty. She then stood to eke north,
and at two a. 111. wore South to make Peterhead;
hot when off Banff Bay, the wind shifted to N. N.
E with showers of snow, in consequence of which,
the Master was reduced to the desperate alternative
of making Banff halsour • as, from the violence of
the storm, he could not clear the land, either on the
Eastward or the Westward. When got into the
harboar, the vessel seveld.still have beau destroyed.
but for the vigorous exertions of the ship-mastem
seamen. and gentlemen of Banff, who prevented
her from being bilged on tke beach, or dashed
against the pier, and thereby laid the suer-
' chants of this place under the greatest obligations.
We have now the satisfaCtion to state, that the ship
and cargo have arrived in this port in pedal
safety.
In the dreadful hurridane above mentioned, two
vessels. passing Broadford Bay, were overtaken by
the storm, and roe rs the Sound of bcalpay for
safety, but found that they could neither make the
sound, proceed to Kyleakin, being the only safe
anchorage in that quarter, nor return to sea ; so
that, unless providentially prevented, they must
have been dashed to pieces on the shore. In this
situation, they were fortunately descried by Mr.
MiKinnon, of Corrichatachan, who repaired to the
lime-kilns cl Woodford. where an excellent pier
has been eretfed by the public-spirited exertions of
Lord M'Donaid, and where. by the signals made
by Mr. M`liinnen, indicative of the eatety of the
place, which were happily observed, they reached
the harbour in perfect safety.

So great was the fall of snow between Shap and
Kendal, on Thursday se'ar.ight, that the mai!.
coach from Carlisle could proceed no farther than
Hucks, half-way between those places. The guard
arri►ed In Lancaster, with the bags, about four
o'clock en Friday afternoons being neatly three
hours beyond the tuaa time.

eallgLaAL OIStaV•TIONS UN GENTLEMEN'S DIMS'.

In Morning Dresses we hare °burred a greater proportion
of scarlet waistcoats than their lung extinction would hare
allowed us to expect, and we are inclined to think they are
likely to be again introdueed ; bias oasts are still snuck noun;
and Sclilel waistcoats are freouent!y worn as a sort of ban-
dies% along wait utile coats, as pita wins the darkish browns;
for Morning Dress there is also. a new 'mole to the waist...vat
fashion, which is a sort.pf silky shag ; is well adapted to the
',sun; and has a good appearance in riding dress, but we
think does not seem perfectly in character, unless acreempasited
wine brown top bunts and a riding whip.

On Thursday and Friday morning. two divisions
of the Royal Lancashire Militia marched into the
Barracks in the city of Winchester ; they are a very
fine body of men.
It now behoves every true Briton to prove his
patriotism, by every exertion in his power, and tt
self-denial be requisite, he should forego every gra-
tification that his situation in life may entitle him to,
if, by so doing, he tends to promote the interests of
his country, and contributes to the distress of his in-
veterate enemies. France has shut out out menu-
faltures from all the ports that are under her in-
fluence ; let us treat her, as far as we can, in the
same way. Let us resolve, from this moment, to
purchase no more wines—let our beverage be the
produce of our own country—let us drink ale, in-
stead of wine, our ancestors did so, and they and
die,r progeny grew strong with it. To those ac-
cus,omed to wine, at first the sacrifice may be
vet, but when they ref ea, that by theii forbear-
ance they are assisting the cause of theirinnuy,
.bey must feel sAtisfaftion its making it.
