WEYMOUTH, OCT, -

_ _ .4 13.
It has blown a violent eastern gale all this week.
The men of war have rode it nut iii wifely ; but the
Wiyal Sowereigra yacht, on Wednesday, was consi-
dered in a dangerous situation, and excited great
anxiety for her fate. Mr. Kerridge, one of the
pilots of the town, in consequence of signals made,
got on board on Thursday morning, slipped her
cables, and, in the midst of the gale, brought lief
side into the harbour, to the great jay of a large
assemblage of spectators, met together on the pier
to witness her approach.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent arrived
here last Monday, on a visit to his Royal Sisters.
His Royal Highness will leave the palace the begin-
ning of next week.
The Princess Amelia frequently takes the benefit
of the warm salt bath water ; the efficacy of which,
e fervently pray, may tend to the re-establishment
of her Royal Highness's health.
His Koval Highness the Duke of Cambridge,
hove visit to W. A. Sandford, Esq. at Ninelirad

bourhood. Fridsy se'unight, the Duke. accum-
ponied by Mr. Sandford, passed through Milver-
toil to Wiveliseombe ; at the latter place they called
on Mr. Sully, oculist to his Royal Higher**, well
known as a skilful surgeon, and distinguished by
his useful establielitneut, the Wiveliiseom be Dispen-
sary. Every demonstration of respect in their
power was ;laid him by the inhabitants of Wivelis.
comb... From thence the party set off for Dunster
Castle, the seat of J. F. Luttrell, Esq. where thiy
continued three hours. and where the manlier of
their reception war not lens gratifying than the
country surrounding this noble edifice, appeared
delightful. In the evening they returned to Nine-
head Court. Saturday, shout eleven, the Duke
quitted this hospitable mansion, for Taunton. At
the lower end of the Parade, he was handed out of
his carriage by B. Lethbridge., Esq. and walked
with him to the market-house and ball-room, where
the sight of a portrait of his Royal Father highly
pleased him. Here, as well as at Wellington, he
was affectionately greeted with hostas, and loyal
congratulations, from almost every spectator.
