MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

[Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's, at Weymouth,
dated yesterday.]

" It Is our painful duty to report that we have been visited by
one of the most violent hurricanes ever remembered on this
coast ; nothing but ruin and devastation surrounds us ; one
large vessel, laden with rum, sugar, and cotton, came on shore
three miles west of Portland, about twelve o'clock'on Monday,
and in five minutes.not a vestige of her was to be seen. From
a piece of linen tied firmly round the neck of a young man,
stating that he was a passenger and the ships name Colville,
every soul on board perished; seventeen of the dead botiletare
already thrown up by the sea. The Collector of the Customs
has taken possession of the goods saved from the Colville4-on
the ground that there is no papers to identify her : the break-
water, and nearly the whole of the esplanade, are washed 4s4qty.
The houses near the seahave four feet water in their baseinent.

PLYMOUTH, Nov. 24.—Wind W., quite moderate.—All
the vessels in the Sound have come into Catwater except the
Burleight. The Thomson, dismasted in the Sound, has been
towed into Catwater. The wrecks reportedyesterday continue
much in the same state, but this day being tine, every exertion
is making to get out the cargoes and save the stores. The Nel.
son, of this port, with about 30 seamen of his Majesty's ship
Britannia, wrecked iu Begberry Bay, with all on board, are
drowned. Tise John of Redford, Wills, all on board drowned
except the Captain's wife, who was saved. The Harmony,
Peterson, six of the crew drowned. The l'ercy, Sayers, full of
water. Richard, Williamson, bottom completely out, and on'
