MARUATE, Sept. I. Yesterday it rained the whole day,
and blew a strong gale from N. E.; in the evening the mind in-
creased, and at night it blew a hurricane. The a:matter of the
peaceable inhabitants was disturbed by the awful hoselings of
the wind, the roaring of the waves, and the reports of guns of
distress from the ocean. This morning a most awful spectacle
presented Itself. Several vessels were driven on shore near
the Itervilvers, blot I have not as yet heard their names. The
brig 'Thais, of Penranee, was dris en near our pit r, with the
loss of her bowsprit and foremast s she lies within a few yards
of the shore ; the sailors are of opinion the 1.11(1 will be got oft
by next title. A French brig ( name unknown; ran on shore
on the rocks near the Infirmary t the vases dashed over her
in a dreadful manner. Our 'seamen attempted sere' al times to
go to her assistance, but were often repulsed by the merciless
waves. They succeeded at last, Aid brought sill the passengers
and crew safe on shore, among whom were several female pas-
sengers for France. It is feared she will not hold oat next
tier, as she lies quite fast in the rock. Greet praise is due to
the Margate sailors fur their exertions in saying so many lives.
ft t SEPT. 4.—Wc are sorry to state, that the. Itritan-
nia Mar ate 'acket, Capt. Stranack, was, by the violence of
the gale last Nlonday evening, driven on shore, near the en-
trance of °dead harbour: very fortunately, the Eclipse Rams.
gate packet was ¢ near, and gave immediate assistance ;
and we are happy to add, titer all the passengers and crew of
the Britannia were saved. It llees not appear that any blame
can be attached to the master or crew of the tintiirtimaie I
vessel ; but, on the contrary, much credit is due for their great
exertions in the moment of chaser. There was a very heavy
gale northerly on Monday, and when the Britannia made the
harbour, a most tremendous sea tendered it impossible to avoid
the above mimed accident.,
lfsnwu B, Ssrr. 2.—Anis et! the Haiton, with coals, from
Sunderland, with loss of two anchors and cable.; the Naylor,
from Shields, with loss of one author and cable ; a vessel from
Rotterdam (the ')hie Vriender) with loss of two anchors and
cables, and one 111311 overboard ; also arrived the Lord Nelson '
packet, with a Mail and passengers from Cuxhaven.
MONMLEV, Seer. 1.--1 sun sorry to acquaint you, that yester-
day, about nine o'clock, the wind came tat 1111 l 1 from the north-
ward to the southward, and about eleven o'clock, a large fleet
of coasting vessels passed to the northward, and several laden
ships standing to the southwaril.—About three o'clock in the
afternoon the wind backed round to the east, and blew a heavy
gale with nail' ; and last night about eleven o'clock, it blew a
hurricane from the N.E. This morning our shore Presented a
inelat.choly sight : the ship Ranger, of London, from Newcastle
to London, with coalS, was scattered io variouspieces along the
shore for two or three miles, and, I ant sorry to say, all lentils
perished, excepting,' the carpenter. A foreign ketch was seen to
go down this 'nursling about three miles from fide place, :mil all
bands pen-hilted ; some part of the wreck is on shm e ; she ap-
pears to have been in the English service, and by some papers
that have come on shore, she belongs to Great Yarmouth. A
fishing s:nack is on slime about three miles northward of this
plare ; hands saved,--1 am fearful apart' damage being dune
further ni;rthward, as not less than 300 sail of ships passed
yesterday."
Yanvoten, SEPT. 2.—The Maria, of this port, front Ne" ew-
e mile, with coals, was wrecked WI Hoppisburg beach during
the gale on Sunday mor ll ill ; she went to-pleccs, and, melan-
choly to relate, all on board perished.

11011n1D Menfitu.—An account was received on Friday from the
Mate of the Creole schooner, arrived oft' Dover from Smyrna, stating, .
that on his passage two of the crew nailed him up in his cabin, white
they murdered Capt. Johnson, and threw hint overboard, wrapped up •
hi the square sail. That after a considerable confinement he got to
speak tO the boy, and learned that the two men, of the mines of Tur-
ner and Smith, had possession of the ship, and were about to minder
him (the Mate), whom they had determiutel to hang; but the boy told
hifh, that himself, and amen of the name of Masson, were determined
to stand by Mtn, if lie (the Mate) wordd, and could ettenqx to recover
the ship. That soon afterwards the Mate was taken upon deck, and
had his hands tied, and wan made fast to a stantion. That the two nut-
' Afters had then possession of about 61st doubloons whirl, they had
taken from the Captain's.druwers. In the evening they began to quar-
rel about what should be done with the ship ; reel die Mate. con-
triving to get loose. mud& nly iteizeil a musket, *Meddle knew to be
loaded, and put to Smith's car, while Mason attacked the other. and
thus regained possewion of the ship, whi, iiris psased Dover, on her
way to Standgare Creek, whence the murde:ers will be brought in cus-
saxly to London. The Mate appears to be desening of much praise
for his cool intrepidity, and for his eouraee in boldly taking the that
favourable moment for recovering the property. The money is all n.-
poswascsl for the Owners.
match at cricket was phase 1 on the Nottiug•
ham ground, on Monday, Tuosday, and 11 cinesday. between
seven of liatcliff and four of Croi:weit onto e side, and teu of
Leicester, with Mr. Sharp; of Barrow, on the other, for fifty
guineas. The interest excited by this m Itch was so great, that
marquees and booths were fixed up on the forest, and the com-
pany was almost as great as at the races. 5..V1011111 of the mar-
quees were left on the ground on Monday night and in that
which was erected for the use of the Leicester players, 3L a.
Chapman. landlady of the Golden Lion, in Stoney-street, with
her servant and two men, remained, its order to take care of the
wines, spirits, and other properly, which it contained. About
eleven o'clock, a number of men,
.w Ito had been drinking in a
booth og the hill, because exceedingly manly, and manifested
an intention to create a distm honer. A few of them Mat made
their appearance at the Leicester marquee, and demindeil
think ; this was refused, but more men coining up, they forced
their way in, put out both tire and lights, and took *way chairs,
baskets', table-cloths. five bottles of port, and a considerable
quantity of spirits; the two men were obligiel to flee fur their
lives, land Mrs. Chapman and her Servants were most barba-
rously beaten a ith bludgeons, were thrown upon the ground,
pistols were ,resented at their heads, and. their lives were
threatened. A eser dra,rging them 0111 of tile inarree, and
using them in this cruel manner tot a eionsiderable time, the
villains'retireil, it is .supposed, re partalse'lif their plunder,-as
their voices could stdi be heard. Mrs. Chapman and her ser-
vant, beano till almost unable to ono were in momentary es-
rectation of the return of some of the gang, to execute their
• liorriit threats,•ollen repeated, of taking away their lives, that
they might not appear in evidence against them alien hap-
pily they were relieved from suspense, by the nomad of 1101',.111
fee, and the voice of Mr. Chapman, who bad come, attended by
two others on hot whack, to their itAsistaisee, is eunsiepireice of
lamination cuneeyed to I . The villains iininediately dis-
persed, but two men have iiiirce bells apprehended on Amid-
cion, and we heartily trust that condign ponistiment will visit
the teal udeettlers.—,Uasioa (.'ands.
