14indt.d by Sir G. R. COLLIER, Bart. ,For• many
days past, greatdoubts have been entertained for the
safety of this ship, as it was reported that she had,

port and defence of the Island of Anholt, which is

but a few hours reaching her destination.

The ordnance store-ships, which lately returned
from a secret servicein the ,Baltic, are now at Spit-
head,. destined for Gibraltar, where their cargoes
-are to form a depot for the service of the southern
provinces-of Spain: This is an excellent arrange-
ment ; for our facility 'of sea7transpoit enables us
thus to supply our own armies, and those of onr
allies, with stores at all points, vdthout running the
risk of their falling into the hands of the enemy
in case of a ,reverse, which they most probably
would, if Our magazines were established in inse-
cure situations.

ANnoLT.--It has recently been stated in all the
communications from that Island, that,the Dancs
meditated another attack upon Anil°lt ; and al-
though we have little fears of the issue of the enter
prize, from what has been al-ready effecled by the
brave garrison, we are glad to find that Govern-
ment are alive to the danger, and have made pro-
vision for the etfeetual defence and. security of this
very important station. The following ships of war
have already set sail, viz. Daphne, of. 22 guns;
Raleigh, of 18 guns; Plover, of 18 guns; kly, of
18- guns ; and• Shyldrake, of 16 guns. The Pyra:.
mus frigate, of 36 guns, which sailed from Ports-
mouth,yesterday;ls ordered for the same destination.

It is stated in a letter from New Yolk, that a
Sranish fleet of transports, with 7000 troops, wider
convoy of a 74 and A gun-brig, from Cadiz, bound
to La Vera Cruz, •had put into the harbour of Oa-
vannah for provision•and water. This number of
troops, we believe, is'greatly over-rated. •

On, Saturday, last a•poor man was arrested in the
street.fdr a trifling sum, which he had not the means
to pay. Fortunately Lord Spencer Chichester , Wag,
a witness to the tiansaEtion. His Lordship, with'
that readiness' and condescension which spring-from
innate philanthropy, inquired into the circutrysi,nces,
and learning that the prisoner had a wife and three
helpless children dependent' on' his ldbour, be im-
mediately paid the money, and restored the unfor-
tunate" man to his family and to society. This faci
requires no comment—the simple statement is a
[nor. eloquent elucidation of his Lordship's iniable
c!laratter, than any thing that , we can say as to
the truly ,praise-worthy circumstance.—Wahr ford

Monday night, the house of Mr. Dowsett, watch-
maker, in High-street, Margate, was broken open.
and robbed of upwards of twenty new watches, and
other property to a considerable amount. The rob-
bers entered by cutting an aperture in one of the
shutterawith a centre-bit.

On 'Friday evening, about 8 o'clock, Serjeant Ives,
of 11,e West Essex militia, was stopped between
Stilton and Norman Cross, by a number• of
who, after having knocked him ,down and lobbed
him" Of his watch and money, wrenched open his
jaws, and with savage cruelty cut oil a piece of the
poor fellow's tongue !—lt is said that the Sergeant
has lately been very active in suppressing the plat
trade, which is still clandestinely carried on at Nor-
man:Cross Barracks : motives of revenge, therefore,
in all probability, instigated the sanguinary raffians-
to the commission of this atrocibus act —The Ser-
jeant is not able to speak, but he has given so mi-
nute a description of his assailants, that, with the ex-
ertions that are making for their discovery, we hope
shortly to announce their apprehension.
