MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

DEAL, OCT. 14.—The Duke of MANCHESTER and Mar-
quis of HUNTLEY arrived here this morning, and remain at
Deal, waiting the arrival of the ship Jahn Sbaud, to embark

for Jamaica.

It is feared that some casualty has occurred amongst the
shipping to the northward, as several pieces of wreck have been
seen by our boatmen floating in that direction. The ship Lucy
Davidson, for Trinidad, remains for a new windlass ; the rest
of the outward-bound have proceeded.

[Another Letter, same date.)
Wind N.E.—About 2 A. M. the wind shifted suddenly to
N.E. and blew a tremendous gale till nearly day-light ; after-
wards it gradually abated ; all the outward-bound ships sailed
except the Lucy Davidson. The boatmen report that several of
them have lost their anchors. Several vessels have been sup-
plied with anchors; the weathel• is still unsettled, and the wind
inclining to be strong from the northward.

A COURT MARTIAL assembled last week on board his Ma-
jesty's ship Gloucester, at Chatham, for the trial of Mr. Thos.
Wilcox, Purser of his 'Majesty's ship Cherokee, on the follow-
ing charges. President, Captain Sir Thomas Livingston ;
Judge Advocate, E. Twopenny, Esq. First, For not hav-
ing kept a number and contents book, agreeable to the
Purser's instructions.—Second, For having given a Contractor
a fraudulent receipt for provisions.—Third, For having col-
lusively obtained the Officer's signature to the voucher.--
Fourth, For having absented himself from the Cherokee with-
out leave. The first three charges were fully disproved to the
satisfaction of die Court; the fourth charge being proved, he
was adjudged to be dismissed his Majesty's service and to be
six months imprisoned in the Marshalsea; but the Court having
maturely taken into their consideration the circumstances and
the very excellent testimonials of his character, the Court most
strongly recommended him to the favourable consideration of
the Lords of the Admiralty.
