THE HcftnrcAsE.,

Extern, Manor 7.—The heavy rains which feiron 'nes•
day and Wednesday nights caused an unusual swell of the
mimes in the 11'estern enmities, and with the tremendous
hurricane accompailyilig them, produced fatal and disastrous
consequences. A great number of sheep and other cattle,
ss hich were grazing in the marshes on the banks of the Etc,
were swept away by the torrent. 'flue water was at a con-
siderable depth in Alphington-stiect, Sti Thum:isomer this
city, and from thence to Alphington. The coaches were de-
layed some hours beyond their usual timeireflarriaral and•sets
lug out, owing to the interruptions occasioned' by' the blew,
ing down of trees in the different roads, 'ted selfir theover-
flowing of the neighbouring streams, which rendered the
roads impassible. The Subscription Coach, which left this
city on Wednesday evening front London, did not arrive in
lloniton until six the following morning, being stopped about
t miles on this side by the water, which *as in some places
over the backs of the Lorses. At Exmouth, the violence of
the gale carried round the vanes of the wind-mill, wait such
velocity as to cause the works to take fire, and the vanes
were blown off, and dashed to pieces. On the coast many
boats have been lost. The trees rooted up in various places
are innumerable; among.t those in Major F. E. Drake's park,
near Lympstone, great havoc has been committed ; about
150 were blown down at Lindridge.park, the seat of thellev.
J. Templer, and a considerable number at Mamiteattl-Pea-
more, and other gentlenien's seats; lett the most disastrous
circumstance which has come to our knowledge is an accident
which betel one of the waggons of Messrs. Brice and Baker,
of this city, on Thursday morning. As it was passing over
Easton's-bridge, in the new road from this city to Cullumpton,
about half a mile from the later place, a tremendous clap of
thunder frightened the horses, and they set off at tiill speed:
it being extremely (lark, and the water over the read on the
other side el the bridge, prevented their keepingin a, proper
direction, and just as they had passed it, the waggent and
horses were precipitated into the river: see lament World,
that three passengers, a young man, woman, and her child
were drowned:

sembled a tropical hurricane than the geles which occasional-
ly visit this climate. 'tonsil were partially unroofed, chimnies
blown down, and part of ore of the battlements at the cathe•

and occasion considerable damage. The Bristol and, Itir-

at night, a ith four inside and two outside passengers., had a

made in behalf of the people, exertions, which had uniformly dis-

the animals in question, and offer them for sale at .very low
prices. Suspecting that they had been stolen, tie questioned
them► and receiving such answers as•strertptl►enad his staid-.
cions, he took them into custody. Handbills, describing the
animals, were circulated, and on Wednesday the respective
• owners claimed their property. The prisoners made two des-
perate attempts to escape while conveying to the Compter,
and uttered the most horrid threats and imprecations. Mr.
Elliott stated, that the animals were stolen on Thursday night
week from Hurley consuscn. The prisoners b► :lig asked if
they had any thing to so, Horne, with great coolness, said,
• " were•out together on the common on Thursday night,
