[Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's, at Crook-
haven, dated Feb. 1.1
" The new ship Clio, Key, with timber for Livelao d, wax
this clay brought in here by me : she was first boarded by myself
whilst riding in the breakers at the point of the inizat head,
abandoned by all the crew; the only living creature on board
(strange to say) was a rox. I wax obliged to slip the chain
and cut the stream cable to clear rocks."

The Neptune, Arnot, from Petersburgh to Bristol, was driven
on shore, near Kirkwall, the 27th ult.
The Maxwell, Burgess, from Waterford to London, was
driven on shore, near Stranraer, the 2d inst., but expected to be
got off:

The Stanmore, Gray, from South America, has arrived at
Bengal. The Rovers, -, from London, with the Brazil-
lian Loan, has arrived safe at Rio .Taneiro.

The Columbus leaves her moorings at Blackwall on or about
Thursday next, to proceed to Northileet to repair, from whence
she sails in April next to St. John's, New Brunswick, under
the command of Capt. Munro. Walker, the mate of the Colum-
bus, is gone over to bring back the other large ship, which is the
same length as the Columbus, but ten feet wider and five deeper.
Those who wish to see the Columbus have now an excellent op.
portunity, as all the timber is out of her.

The Hamburgh Papers of the 25th ult. contain the follow-
ing Official Notice :

HAMBURGIS, JAN. 24.—Masters of ships, and others,

j EXTRAORDINARY HIGII TIDES.—The late fre-
quent recurrence of the extraordinary high tides in the Rite!
Thames (scarcely ever known to be equalled) has led many to
suppose, that some alteration has taken place in their course,
and has, for some time past, kept the owners and occupiers.of
land adjoining in a constant state of watchfulness and alarm.
About the time of the last full moon, and on last Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday, the Thames Wall, in the levels of Dart-
ford, Stone, Crayford, and Erith, on the Kentish side, was
breached in many places, and overflown for several miles,
whereby some thousands of acres of valuable land were and
continue to be completely inundated. Fortunately from the
alacrity of the occupiers, little stock has been lost, but the in.
jury to the land and damage to the walls is calculated to be
very great, the latter it is considered must be much heightcnel
and strengthened, to guard against similar occurrences.

was rather intoxicated at the time she committed the drezdeut
act. Her contrition was very great, and she immediately surren-
dered herself to justice. She acknowledged her guilt to the
magistrate, and wept bitterly. The parish surgeons were sent
to as soon as the situation of the deceased was made known ;
but one of them was not at home, and the other was ill in Iv•tl.
The Magisttrate expressed himself not satisfied with th's mil :-
nation. The prisoner was remanded for further examination.
