WEST ISDLIMAN LOST.

The We.t In.Haulm. in, mu ii il as has :og been lus• on the
Mouse `sand, was the A,,plewoith, Captain C• ”isi ins, nf
a 300 ton^ borthen, homeward-4.mnd from Dein.ira a,
iAden with sugar, coffee, and cotton. She arrived on Sunday
morning off Margate, where she landed some passengers, and
proceeded for the river, and in the afternoon came to sit an-
chor in the Ooze Channel, where she rode safely till the even-
ing, when the wind blowing violently from the west, she sue-
ce-sivt ly broke from two anchors, became unmanageable,
and between ten and eleven at night, drove before the wind
on the Moue Saud, and immediately hinged. In this state
the ship lay, making signals of distress by 'hewing lights and
tiring guns, till the ammunition became wet by the waves.
'the guns were heard by the Hearne Bay boatmen,aboul ate
on alonday morning, when four of them immediately vitt to
sea in a small boat, in the expectation of being followed by
their lugger, the Aid, as soon as the flow of water (the tide
being at the ebb) would permit. The lugger reachtd the
ship at the distance of twelve miles from the shore, between
four and five in the morning, at which time the wind having
veered a point towards the north, the ship was beating
obliquely over the sand, and before any effectual aid could
be afforded, it being dangerous to approach too near, she
drifted ott the edge of the sand, and instantly sunk, in 14
fathoms of water. The captain, wiiii the pilot and crew, re-
mained to the last moment on board, and it was only by the
repeated assurances and exhortations of the boatmen that
the ship was sinking, that they were induced to quit her,
some by jumping overboard into the water, among whom
were the two former, others by ascending the rigging, froth
whence they were with great difficulty rescued by the
prompt and persevering exertions of the boatmen, assisted
by their small boat, which fortunately came up at the mo-
ment, the crew, which it was previossly 'opposed had been
all lost, having taken shelter during time night on board a brig
at anchor, from nut being able to stem the violence of the
waves. The lives thus happily preserved were those of the
captain, mate, pilot, and eleven of the crew; in all fourteen;
one man alone was lost (the cook), who, although. re-
peatedly urged to quit his hold on the rigging, clung to
it, and went down with the ship. The only articles that
could he saved were a bag of letters, part of the pro-
perty of the passengers, and the clothes and chests of
the crew. These had been previously got out into the
the ship's long boat, which, without either sail, oars, or rod-
der, was drifting among the breakers when the ship sunk.
This is the fifth instance in the short spate of three years,
during which these boatmen, by their promptitude and sea-
manship, have providentially been the means of saving. at the
risk of their own, the lives altogether of upwards of 60 sea-
men on this part of the coast, without obtaining any reward
by thwreservation of the vessels or cargoes. It is to be
hoped, itowever, that their titeritotiotts endeavours will yet
meet that reinuueration which they so justly merit from those
who can best appreciate their services.

When the ships were moving out of the Bay of Algiers,
with a light air from the land, very slowly, a most unluoked
for storm of thunder and lightning arose, in the midst of
which, the Baines from an Algerine frigate ran up her mast
and spread along the yard, which runs across thus t —prest til-
ing a burning cross so vivid and conspicuous, as to appear the
most prominent object of the night.
The Funds continue to rise, which is ascribed to the hellefi
that the Minister has in contemplations scheme of finance
which will render unnecessary either a loan, new taxes, or
the touching of the Sinking Fund, during next year. Con-
sols left off on Saturday at 02{ for money, and to account at
Gold has had another &IL The present price of the finest
Portugal gold is 31. lets. dd. per ounce ; that of new Dou-
bloons 31. 14s. Silver remains at the former prices—Standard

A considerable quantity of linens were some time ago map
inithetured in Ireland, in imitation of those of France and
Germany, and shipped fur Cadiz. These, it seems, rum With
a ready sale at that port, amongst the South American traders,
in consequence of which several thousand pieces are now in
the Irish looms fur the same destination.
It is reported that the woollen mannfartnre has lately moth
improved in Exeter, Ashburton, Crediton, and other parts of
Devonshire. Besides the orders in hand for the East Indies,
and the South of Europe, large ostlers have been received
from Holland.

There are great exportations of cotton-twist fee Russia and
Get many, but at very reduced prices.
The season has proved so unfavourable to the lops, that
not a pocket was brought to our great fair, nor will the whole
plantation produce a good pocket this year. The quantity
grown last year in this plantion was about 27,000 pocket,: ;
this year it is thought there will not be produced 3,000. The
stock on hind is not a mouth's consuniptiou, consequently
prices have taken a rapid advance. Currency!: 1014, 141. a ,

were this day (Friday) saki in our ULM ket at 20k a pocket--

On the Stowmarket Level there will not be grown, this
year, more than half a lunidred weight of hops per acre. An
average crop, we understand, is 10 cwt.
