LYN, Dec. 24.—During the late severe gales
of wind, the ship Dorothy, belonging to this port,
SMITE, Master, -was driven ashore in the Hum-
ber, vu the Lincolnshire coast, when the crew ex-
pectingshe would tall to pieces, betook themselves
to the boat, which, in consequence of the heavy
sea, was soon swamped, and four of the crew, in-
cluding a fine youth, son of the master, were un-
fortunately drowned : the master and mate saved
their lives by clinging to the oars of the boat, and
were thus washed to the shore. We understand
there is a hope of saving the vessel and cargo.

Extract of a Letter from Elsineur Dec. 13-:
-" The day before yesterday the wind having veer-
ed to the eastward, the - convoys and merchant
ships got all under weigh, but the greater partput
back on account of the wind changing to the
west. The Pearl Danish frigate was proceeding
to her place of destination at St. Croix, and was
to have taken the new Governor on board in
England, but it is said that, for want of proper
attention to the'Scaw lights, she has been totally
lost on the reef. The. same misfortune has be-
fallen the llsingfors, from Petersburgh to Lon-
don, with hemp and tallow, and serious com-
plaints have • been made of neglect in respect to
the ,lights."

Two garrison companies have been formed at
Chelsea from the reduced veterans ; it is said for
the purpose of furnishing servants to Officers on
the Staff of the Army.

The. Gentleman we mentioned on Saturday last
as having been discovered laying Insensible in the
road, near Clifton, proves to be .Colonel PURPOY,
who it seems ‘s as just arrived from Ireland ; lie
is now at MANGEoist's Hotel, but is still unable
to give • the , least account of what has befallen
him ; his servant has been examined under a
suppos.ition that he might have been the robber,
but •lie clearly proved on alibi; the only property
he had about him when discovered, was 3s. 6d.
in his waistcoat pocket.
A publican in Little Drury-lane has at this time
a .fine- dog rain irkable for close attachment to a
duck, which runs in his yard. However .strange it
may appear, the. dog and duck are generally seen
together on the most friendly terms. The duck
flies with ferry at any person who attempts to
strike the dog,• which, iu turn, protecti the little
biped twirl all injury.
