LOSSES BY STORM AT HANOVER.

Our readers need not be informbd„ that in
Hanoyertts well as other parts of the, Contioent,
great losses have been incurred by tempests dur-
ing the last winter. The following Correspond-
ence on the means of relieving the Sufferers
will be read with interest

1 • • Hanover, February-16;182'5-.
Aly dear. :Munster—As you have, beet:. 'regularly intbrined
of the dreadful calamity. which it has pleased Divine Provi-
dence to inflict upon this country, I will not trouble you with
a repetitiOn of the account, but express to you my-sincere
grey for the loss you have sustained on this occasion. •
By this day's report of the 7lNlinitters, you will see, that a ge-
neral .cornrnittee•has been formed here,- to receive the different
subscriptions which are tnaking all over the country, and
distribute them fairly, to the suffering districts.
Yesterday the Committee met for the first time, And the'sti.b- •
scription proposed by me to the efferent members, to be made
before we separated, amounted to,neurly 13,000 dollars. nis
is, I thick, a very good beginning, and the general syrimathy -
telt at this awful calamity, will, I trust, insure us success in.bui,e,
undertaking.
The distress, however,as Well as the numbers who are to be •
provided for, are so great,- that every possible assistance that
can be procured, will be most desirable: I have, in consequence,
written to-day to the Duke of York, to request he will put him..
self at the head of a subscription in England for the distressed
districts. I have also written to the King on the-subject;
whether his Majesty will. feel
..inclined to put himself at the ..
head of such a subscription, lam unable to say. All the
Monies we can collect out of the funds here will be wanted.
As the King may, perhaps, inquire what I have done, I think • -
it•right to inform you that I have subscribed 10,01)0 dollars;
and the Duchess 1,1/00.

•
My intendedjoUrney to England I of courfr have given up,
for I feel it my duty not to stir from my post till I see that our
exertions are successful, and that I can feel comfortable and
easy when absent from here.'

You must .excuse the hurry in which • this is written; but I
am really hardly come to myself at present, and therefore
you must take the will for the deed, and. believe mei my deer.
Munster,

Your's very sincerely,
(Signed) ADOLPH US 'FREDERICK-.

Hanover, March 4, 11125.
illy dear Munster-4 hasten to thank you for -your kind.let-
ter of the. 22d of February, which I received yesterday morn-
ing. .The welcome news it contained, as well as the letter of
credit for 2,0001. from Coutts on Cohen, has been, as you will
easily conceiver most gratefully received by.the general coml-
.. mittee, axd 1 may add..by the whole town; for .1 am sure, that
before the..end of the day, thil'e Was. not a soul in Hanover who
was not in ecatacies at-his Majesty's beneficence. Indeed, it
was quite a delight to. me, to see the-countenances of the dif- •
ferent individuals, and to-hear the Manner in which they spoke
of the King. I have not failed to return his Alajesty my
humble thanks .by this day's post, and have at Lb,' game time
informed him that I hNi sent .you a receipt Mink the treasurer
of our committee, Mr..grenel, which 1 enclose hereby. -I

was glad to find by your letter Olathe Duke of York was

_exclusive of_the.considerable snot which was subscribed by-the
members of. the general committee on the first day of.. their
.meeting, on the 14th, and, the .different. subscriptions of t± e
public _departments, the-collections made ainong the intighis•
amount to 14,8410 dollars.; and in addition to this, the town of •7
Hanover has voted 2,000 dollars out of its own funds, and the
hospital St. Spiritus 51)9 dollars.. This,
.1 am sure, you *ill
allow, is very handsome, and doesinfinite credit to the inhabi-
tants. • I am tilSo persuaded, from the• different `accounts- rve -
have received from-all sides, that the wish to assist_ the die--
tressed is very great all over the country ; and therefore I am
very sanguine about the result of otir:undertaking, and trust='.
-that, with the pecuniary assistance we can-safely. reckon on troni
England, we shall be able to do an infinite deal of.good, and to:',
extend our assistance, not only to the immediate relief• of
sufferers, by furnishing them-.with provisions and' clothes, butt:
also that we shall be able to go Orther, and Procure them— •
money for the repairs of their houses and for, the purchase of
tattle.

I trust that in the course of a week or ten days we shall be
able to judge of the extent of the works which. will be neccse.
sary for the repairs of the dikes, and to ,make a regulai. plan foi'
this purpose, which it is not in our power to_tio till we obtain
this information, and the technical operathips of the enuineers.,
upon which the whole depends.. In the mean time, I have put
all the military at the disposal of the pOyernment, being CUil-
vinced that his Majesty will approve:of every thing being &me
to assist in forwarding the.arrangernents; which will he neees=.
sary for the Herculean work: which must. be finished in
middle of the summer.
Thank God, we have no storm to,day, and. I therefore trust
that the spring Aide, which is to-day, will not meet much the
inundated country. The repairs of the ilikes, as far as they
can at pzesent be attended to, areAning.oil well, and I am as-
sured that the people are working very hard. I iktri hippy,
to add, that the loss of, lives is much less considerable than it
was at the storm of the year 1717, when in the two provinces,
Bremen and. East Yriesland, about 6,000, persons•perished.
1 must now take my leave, with the assurance Only remain_.
ing, dear Munster, - • Yours, very sincerely,:
• (Signed) , • „ADOLPH US FREDERICK.

SHEEP -the Atistilt,of
last, two small dogs, of the, terrier breed, entered a pasture in'.
the .vicinity of Chelmsford, and committed most extensive
hayoc. .Mr. Crooks, a butcher, had 40 tegs, consisting 7att
equal number of ewes and .wethers ; they were safe on the Mon.,
day evening,
.but the following morning, the pasture in which
they had been litinted down exhibited a sce',e or mutilatt;d
carcases. The animals had no protection but in.flight, which in
this case was itnpossible,',the. pasture being.fenced in by a dOSe
Palling. When the qui/brings wire. put amend to of that
portion in which lite was yet remaining, there were ILit elevar%
left alive, and.those.in such a state as• to leave scarcely a hope
that they will long survive.. The ears of -some .of the pear
aiiimals:.were torn from their. heads, froth whence the blood
had been extracted by their sanguinary enemies; the en-
trails of others were eonspicuous, -yet signs of. life remain-
ed. At eight o'clock on Tuesday• morning, ktlie .offenderswere still pursuing the walk of destruction, and not.a single.
sheep had . been .left alive hut, for interference which was-
accidental. J. Briton, apprentice to 51r. Wackrill, baker,
was passing,..and discovered the clogs tearing-the flesh.- of one
of the Sheep ; he was at Brst. little disposed to approach
the scene of carnage ; he, however, rebuked the -dogs, and
they made off, but so much were they exhausted, that Briton
succeeded, with the, assistance of another lad, in securing :thew
both ; upenope was a collar, withihe name of a gentleman,t
