The Providence, of Swansea; JENKINS Master,
was lost
.in a violent storm on Thursday, the 22d
,ult. near FiShguard. ,Never did the Welch charac-
ter shine more conspicuously in the offices of huma-
nity than in this instance. The crew of the Unfor-
tunate vessel, prevented‘by the fury of the tempest
from landing in their boats, were hauled on shore by
means of ropes, in which generous work many
highly respedable persons assisted, some of whom
plunged up to their necks in the sea. Oh reaching
the shore, dry clothes and every requisite assistance
were afforded to the distressed seamen by their be-
nevolent preserverS, whose condu6t on the occasion
is above all praise. Amongst the most a6.tive to lend
their friendly aid were Mr. I-Tarries, of Tregwint ;
Mr. Moro-an, Of Abercastle ; Mr. Thomas, of Tresis-
cill ; and. several. others with whose-names we are
uhacquainted, but which have
.derived a lustre from
their iirotitpt and humane exertion's that can never
be effaced from the grateful recolledion cif those
whom they happily. succeeded. in rescuing frotn a
Watery grave.

' A new Writ having been issued for Worcester,
in consequence of the acceptance of the Chiltern
Hundreds by .Mr. BROMLEY, Wm. GORDON, Esq.
has again come forward, supported by the, independ-
ent interegt. He made his entrance into Worcester,
on Monday morning, preceded by a cavalcade of
several hundreds of the Electors, and followed by
a numerous train of carriages. On his 'arrival in
the suburbs he whs received with loud acclamations
by an immense body of Electors and Inhabitants;
who took the horses from his Carriage. The pro-
cession being thrilled, Mr. GaRDON was draWn,
with flags and banners, band of music, drums, fifes,
&c. in front, through the principal streets of the
city and greeted the most public places, where the
procession stopped, with enthusiastic, cheers.. ::He
addressed the Electors from the balcony of the
Crown Inn, in an able and impressive speech ; in
the course of which he alluded' to bis former eer-
,tions, and to his late vindication of the rights and
privileges of the Freemen. In once more presenting.
himself to their utibiaskd judgment, the objrct,
dearest to his heart was, to afford theM a fair oppor-
tunity of establishing those' rights, of
alv hick be had
the happiness to say, lie had been the successful as-
serter. Mr. GOUDOtsesVeech was.rQdeived with en-
thusiastic plaudits.
The Writ was published a , few . hours aft Mr.
GORDON'S arrival, and. no doubt -is entertained of
his being returned- without opposition next Friday
when the Eledion takes place.—Mr. ,WILLtAm
SAIIIII (the late Member for Norwich), whO was
several days at WorceSter, with the hope of rais-
ing an opposition to Mr. GORDON, finding no
prospect whatever of success, has left this 'city-and
declined the contest.

A few days ago a conspiracy was det;Eted on the
part of•the relations of R----, Esq. a Gentle-
man. of fortune, .near tolce Newington, to' confine
him as a lunatio. ' He was closely guarded in 'his
.own hOnse one week; during which the cireuM
stance reached the knowledge of a friend, who- im-
mediately Went With Mr. GustlEY, the Coi.insel,
and two Physicians, to his assistance. On' their ar-
rival at his house, the professional Gentlemen ex-
amined; and pronounced him of sane mind„ and the
.persons appointed to act as his keepers were instantly
dismissed. The affair will shortly become the sub=
jea of legal investigatitin.
A person of the name of Chalkley, who had for

Swan Inn, at Chichester, charged, with having un-
warrantably conveyed many articles from the pre-

...It hawing been 'represented as somewhat strange
that the fimner Manager Of the Opera House should
think of resuming the direaion, after the late Mr.
GooLn had made so large a purchase in it—the
truth isy we understand, that Mr. GOOLD only pur-
chased seven Sixteenths of the Property, and that the
remaining nine were reserved in the interest of Mr.

On Monday last the
,In habit nits of Mille)were
alarmed by an awful thunder storth, wi i h
,ened the most serious consequences. 1 heWina
blew strong from the south-west, ducie& them
ins; and several explosionS were heard, but All too
distant to excite any serious apprehensions, till abot4
11 o'clock, when a flash Of lightning, extremely
yid, . was Instantly followed' by a trethendous
of thunder, Which Seemed, to hui-st close dOivnupf
en the house-tops; and shattered :the window's (,t
tlie,fted Lion Inn, Mr. Medge's hotise, Mr. Hedge's;
and .et.eral otheis, In the mean time theerettrie
fluid struck,•the thurai tower in several placeS, wherii
the conduetbr, nedtralized perhaps by rust-,:did no
afford all the security eiPeeted from it. A stone og
nearly 200 weiglik, was thrown outs of the s'outla;
West angle of the top of the square tower; at thP
baSe of the spire. As the fluid deScended hi a zig-,
cig diredion,
,it recoiled again and struck the base
of the wall nAr the porch, With great violence; but
was 'repelled by the solid masses of granite of which
it is farmed. Sortie part.of it, however, entered the
Church., and passing out at the great window over
the altar, broke several panes of glass; and greatly
damaged the Window fraMes. It then entered the
kitchen of the .Bear Inn, which stands closes to th
N. E. angle of thetchurch; struck a man backward,
but without injuring him, and passed off without
farther damage. ',Early on Thursday morning last,
we were visited by another thunder storm, one clap
of which (about five in the morning) was little less
tremendous than that the efteds of which we have
described, but Providentially did nu harm, that wo

tb be turned out of a box 21 yards distance from the
gun, which was not to carry more than two ounces

til the 4th shot; when Mr. DAVY became the fa-
vourite. Mr. SANDY missed his -4th and 7th, and
hit his .11th bird, which fell out of bounds ; ,and his

Ock Mills, near Abingdon, on the body
.of Jolla
Swadling, aged twenty-eight.' I appeared that the
deceased had imprudently suffered a Brazier, con-
, taining a fire, made of wood and coals; to remain in
his.chamber when he went to bed on Friday even-
ing,, and on the next morning he was found quite
dead. A fellow servant, who slept with him, had
nearly shared his melancholy fate, but, by a diligent
use of proper means, was restored.
