staves, for Lancaster. On the Seth tatt being in

about one in the morning, she encountered a most
dreadful gale of wind from WSW, and at two, not-
withstentling every exertiotr at the temps, they
found 12 incites water on the cabin deck, and the
brig on her beam ends ; with u view to salve their
lives, they cut away the minium:it, when she'right-
ed, but the ses.running.mountains highenteuelt her
abaft, and struck in her counter.plauks, tearing
away the cabin doors and wheel, and at the saute
instant, their three home; deck timber, stancheons,

The British brig Charles, Captithi Knight, which
it will be recollected, Was detained at Curunnu, on .
the 19th of October, and the Master confined in the
common gaol, in consequence of 98 hard dollars
having been found On board other, was released on
the Ist instant by a Royal. order,• obtained at the.
I instance of his ”ajesty'li Ambassador at Madrid.
The Charlee sailed on the 4th inst. for Hamburgh,
and has since put into Miltiird, with damage.
On Friday week a person applied at the Queen's
Head, in Durhaw, fur a past chaise and four, • to
cuiTy him to itabyecaetle, whither he said he was
proceeding with important despatches for the Earl
of Darlington. As soon as the chsim was ready he
set out, accompanied by a female, decently attired,
but not of rery genteel appearance. On reaching
Baby, the stranger. was heiwined that the Lied-
Lieutenant was at Newton-house, whither he tide
lowed. At Staindrop he represented himself as the
I Oulee of Lancaster; and his amiable consort, the
Duchess, regaled herself with a glass. of ruin and
water in •the kitchen of the inn. His Grace made •
an uneueceseful application to one of the Earl of
Darlingent's tigers tin a loan to defray his menses
on the road. He also requested per.uission to
remain at the Castle till the return of its noble
owner, which- was of coarse refused. Oa his
arrival at Newton-house he hound that his assumed,
title tailed to obtain hint an audience. In this
dilemma the post-boys; who began to despair of
receiving payment for their services, deemed it
prudent to bring the Duke awl Duchess- buck to
Uurhane where they arrived in the course of
Saturday. His Grace having no muovy, lett I.is
watch end rings, unit the Daehess her 11111 st anti 1
tippets, us security to Mr. Esket, fie- the expenses of •
a journey which could only have been undertaken
through.fully or insanity. ,
Garrick had great poweriof mimickry, but sel-
dom descended to show them.. One day dining with
a large company, soon after c inner he left the room,
and it was supposed lie had left the Masse; but one
of the party on going into the area to seek hint,
tinted Garrick, who had liven there Jenne tittle,
occupied in amusing a negro bey, who., was u ser-
vant in the family, by mimicking tin: tioise• and
munner of a Turkey-truck ; eflacti diverted the boy
to such a degree, that he ivies eonvoised with laugh-
ter, and only able now and then to :man '• Master

The Rev. Mr. air, Chairman of the Manchester
Quarter S.:ssions, has been presented with the
rectory of Rochdale, vaicant by the death of
Dr. Drake. This living, which is the gill of the
Crown, is estimated at t4,3f10i. a year. This gen
denten is one of the stipendiary magistrate; of
Manchester, and was one of the (perhaps we might
soy the) most active of these whose p map/iliac and
acthqty on the fatal I tith of August were so much
praised by Government ! ! !
The weather during the last week appears to
have been unusnally st:vero. The snow arif4d as
much as eight feet deep in some parts between Oal-
isbury and Bridport, that no coach cwukl get
entirely through ; but Ihe active exertions of tbe
officers of the mull chub department, anl of the'
guards, the western mails; though much out of time,
have daily reached their destination, being conveyed
partly by the conches with-six and eight horses, and
partly by chalices, or on horseback—its seam instan-
ces to -the hazard of the lives of those employed.
The road from Poole to Southampton is alsacoveretl
with deep snow, through which the coach on one
day could not be force.l. The road through
bury to Exeter is not quite so much impeded us that•
through lititlport. From Bath to Exeter there hal
also been great difUeulty ; but the mail coach h
mantged to pass, and is the only coach which din
pass on that day. Where the snow is deepest the
reads are now cut through and a track made, so that
without a fresh fall the mails will travel pretty well.
There are, huwever, threatening appearances of laid
weather, the :snow licieg. very httavyiin Yorkshire
and in Scotland, hut not leaving drifted, travelling
is not much impeded. With all arse difficulties
the letter carriers have been dispatched milli morn-
