THE HURRICANE,

I:rETP.R,III Agen 7.—The heavy rains which fell on 'Tues-
day and Wednesdhy nights caused an unusual swell of the
waters in the Western. counties, and with the tremendous
hurricane accompanying theta, produced fatal and disastrous
consequences. A great number of sheep and other cattle,
which were grazing in the marshes on the banks of the Bite,
were swept awa, by the torrent. The water was at a con-,
sitlerable depth in Aiphington-street, St. Thomas, near this
city, and ft thence to Alphington. The coaches were de-
layed some hours beyond their tismil times of arrival and set.
ing out, owing to the interruptions. occasioned by the blow.
ing down of trees in theditierent roads, united with the over-
flowing of the neighbouring streams, which rendered the
roads impassible. The Subscription Coach, which left this
city on Wednesday evening from London, did not arrive in
Honitotr tmtil six the following morning, being stopped about
miles on this side by the water, which was in some places
over the backs of the horses. At Exmouth, the violence of
the gale carried roultd the vanes of the wind-mill, with such
velocity as to cause the works to take tire, and the vanes
were blown oft, and dashed to picees. On the coast ninny
boats have been lost. The trees rooted up in various places
are ibmionerable; amongst those in Major F. E. Drake's park,
near Lympstone, great havoc has been committed ; about
no were blown down at Lindridge.park, the seat of the Rev.
J. Templer, and a considerable number at Mainhead, Pea-
more, and other gentlemen's scats ; hot the most disastrous
circumstance which has come to our knowledge is an accident
which betel one of the waggons of Messrs. Brice anti Baker,
of this city, on Thursday morning. As it was passing over
Easton's-bridge, in the new road from this city to Culinmoton,
about halt' a mile from the later place, a tremendous clap of
thunder frightened the horses,. and they set off at NI speed :
it being extremely dark, and the water over the road on the
other side of the bridge, prevented their keeping in a proper
direction, and just as they had passed it, the waggon and
horses were precipitated into the river : we lament to add,
that three passengers, a young man, woman, and her child
were drowntil:

'rune violent storm of wind on Wednesday night, more re-
sembled a tropical hurricane than the gales which occasional-
ly visit this climate. Houses were partially unroofed, ehimnies
blown down, and part of one of the battlements at the cathe-
dral fell with such violence as to penetrate a roof beneath,
and occasion considerable damage. The Bristol and Bir-
mingham mail, on its approach to this city, about It o'clock,
at night, tel lour inside and two outside passengers, had a
very narow escape from being overset into a piece of water
of great depth at Hardwiek-bridge, where all must have
perished. The leaders, loosing their footing, trotted shunt
rotund ; on which the guard got down, in the hope of being
able to guide them through the .water, but in the attempt
the horses fell into the ditch, and pulled the pour fellow in
with them. In this perilous dilemma, and with no other pros-
pert than the coach being likewise drawn into the same abyss,
a young naval officer, who was an inside passenger, intrepidly
plunged into the flood, and, swimming with one hand, with
the tither he dragged the guard on shore ; after which he
went to the assistance of the horses, cut the traces, with a
knife he took from his pocket, and saved the poor atiimats
from drowning, as well as the coach from being upset, in that
appalling sitnation' Finding it impossible to proceed, the
whole of the horses were taken off, and went kick with four
of the passengers and the guard, to 117hitminster Inn, (about
three miles), Burrowes, the driver, being left on the box in
charge of the coach. • Gloucester Juurnal.
THE BREAKWATER.—" PLYMOUTH, MARCH 3.--Yester-
day the gale came un with doable violence at S.S.W. and by
high water increased to the severest storm I have seen since
I have been (now seven years) at Ply h. The storm that
did the Breakwater so .h damage in Jan. last year, was
nothing to it, and it did not moderate until four o'clock. This
enabled persons to get OR the Breakwater, and I have great
pleasure in White, you that every thing was found us it ought
to be, in a perfect firm state. I have myself been or, the
work, an hour since ; but the w inn has again got into its old
ripttri (x. 11.) and hl., % ing hard. A large East India ship,
ants the Elm' user.' hr the &mud during the storm, and
rode it not v,,% we, the Breakwater aCey must
have both heti' inevitably lo,t. At the ciolotwocemealt of'
the winder a few large stories wt re plaited by themselves on
the top or finished part of the Bic:Ai% ater, to see it they would
stand thew inter gales ; they sterol all but this last, and this'
moraine I found them washed from the top, and 1% rug en the
North Slope. There were three of them, one of 111111: UAW:
and the other two of five tons each. They will be replaced
as soon as possible." •
The MRCICIIII rookery, at Newton (the seat of the family of
the I farby us). Somerset:dare, was entirtly blownduwu dims
the hurricane on Wekluesday seliiiight. Nearly Into trees
were torn up by the roots, and out ell the is! tie is•at only one

MR. 11'.1I1'1131.1:V.

Thursday a eery numerem Meeting of the friends of this Gentle-
man was held in the City of London Tavern, for adopting rotusnres
to secure his return to Parliament at the next Gcneral Election.
Mr. Alderman Goodbehere having taken the Chair, shortly ex-
plainer/ the object for which they were convened, and hoped that
their efforts would be succes.ful in returning Mr. Wasthman to Par-
liament, on aceount of the unwearied and admirable exertions he had
made in behalf of the people, exertions, winch had unifiimily dis-
played the profoundest wisdom, nonieration, and integrity thou, hear,hear !I. The diameter of this s ;elltielllan. his pre-eminent, qualifi-
cations ft:r the honour of representing the City, were too well known
to require any eulogium.
r. Kirby (late Sheriff) would not occupy the time of the Meeting
long with any observations of his, but he felt it impossible, not to
congratulate the friends of rational Reform and of the constitution, on
the most respectable number, who this day assembled. lie was proud
to see in the Chair the worthy Alderman, who was venerated and
esteemed by his Citizemt, for his having so lung and faithfully advo-
cated :heir cause. Of Mr. Waithman's abilities he would say nothing,
persuaded as he was, that There was but owe opinion among the In-
dependent Livery ott that object; and he sincerely hoped that their
efforts this day woultt :be crowned with SilfCe::. Ile concluded by
inoving a series of Resolutions.

Mr.—oldhaM seconded the Resolutions. He stud Mr. W.'slester
tions in behalf of the CO, could never be forgotten, particularly what
he had done on Mod. Auctioins..the Bankrupt Laws, and above all
what reformation he had wrought in ('hrist's Schaal.
Mr. Favell addressed the Meeting on the same subject*. and hoped
the friends of the ruse could remember that it was only by a long
pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether, that they could succeed,—
II is woithy Friend, and the respeetablethainnan, had dared to be
hello in days of danger, when none appeared in their support, but
they had now the satishection of seeing their great object accomplished.
Among the friends of Retbrm no man knew better when to proceed
and how far to proceed, than Mr. W. did, aud-it was proper that
such characters should be rewarded with the highest haerairs their
know-citizens ',Red bestow, fa Vialunt moistues were at all times to
ha condemned Lapplausesl.
Mr. Hunt came forward andltlemarrikd a. test of Mr. Waithman's
principles.
Mr. Williams.tthe.Cornroon C.‘mciltrian) said, he was happy this
day to come iiimard in support of Mr. %V., from whom he had re-
peatedly, diffes ed. but the purity_of whose.motives. the integrity, per-
severance, and firmness with which he was actuated, he Ina: always
adrairee. The Clerj y. of the country, the Merdatit, the Shipping
Interest, and Land-owarts, were all duly re resented, and it Ira:. but
fair that the trading Interest of the City should have the s,.me atl-
vanta. 'there was one retail dealer in the Ileuse already. hut he
(alluding to Mr. Butterworth) always voted with Ministers. Me.
W. had advanced en the cause firmly, had in the most gallant manrer
weat!!ered the storms and it was the duty of his fellow-citizens to re-
ward him.

Ts. 444444444444 being read, were then unariroonsle aitorted-
'Att. VI anthills!: eidnetorwaril amidst 'wet rho:6 info, to express hit
gr.:tinkle for the flattering manner in which l.i; fritrid, had come for-
