CO WES-SUNDAY.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
The schooner, Harmony, Captain Le Page, laden
with coals from Shields for Guernsey, was wrecked near
Brook yesterday morning ; it bad been blowing a gale
all night, and was very thick and dark, particularly after
the moon went down, and they could not make out the
Needles light, nor see the land till about five a.m., when
they were dashed on it, close under the cliffs. The
gale abating, the crew, seven in number, were safely
landed, and the masts cut away and secured. nis
morning, there being but little wind, and that well to
the westward, two barges have been sent round to en-
deavour to take the cargo out, and some say there is a
probability of her being got off ; this is more easy to
talk of than to effect, as has been seen in numberless
cases before.

Wind W., fresh, and every appearance of a dirty
night.—Arrived the American ship Henry Thompson,
Watson, from New York, with tobacco, for orders.
Went out of harbour, the Danish brig Balticum, Cap-
tain Johannson, and sailed for Hamburg ; also the
Austrian brig Goritziana, Captain Martinolicb, and
sailed for Amsterdam. The French brig Fenette, Cap-
tain Coulet, will be ready for sea by Tuesday.

The bullfinches have, this spring, waged dreadful war
with the buds ; the gooseberry, currant, plum, and pear
trees arc nearly stripped, the latter particularly ; in-
deed, w•e have examined many large trees, and could
scarcely find'a blossom bud remaining, so general has
been the destruction.

A Return of the Prices of Wheat, as inserted in
the London Gazette, for every week in the last five years,

it appears that the average price of each of these years
was as follows:

took an outside place for London by the Old Company's
coach. When they arrived at Attvrorth, a short distance
the other side of Bath, he alighted for the purpose of
taking refreshments, and was in the act of putting a
glass
of brandy and water to his lips, when he fell down in a fit,
and expired in about half an hour. lle was booked in the
name of " Mr. Middleton," but was quite a stranger in
this city, and nothing is known of his friends or con•
nections.—.Bristol Mercury.
SANGUINARY MUNSTER: On Monday last a
fellow was brought before the Magistrates sitting in petty
sessions, at Ludlow, charged with having wounded in a
despera:e manner a poor woman living on the Vice-hills.
The monster went into the woman's house and attacked her
with a spade with the sharp edge of which he cut the flesh
from her head and face, and fractured her skull. The sur.
geon stated that the sufferer could not survive, and the pri.
saner was committed to gaol. The prisoner behaved be-
fore the Magistrates in the most violent manner, and threa-
tened the life of one of them.—Her/frrd Times.
