OTHER ACCOUNTS

A letter from M.-. J. Lachlan, of Great Alie-street,
the agent to the Amphitrite, states that " The late
Mr. John Hunter, the master and owner, was full
33 years of age, had been regularly brought up to
the sea, and commanded a ship as far back as eight
years ago." The British Consul at Bouloene says,
the master and the surgeon having with pistols re-
fused assistance is untrue. The Amphitrite, although
of the age mentioned, was a perfectly sound vessel,
having in March last had a very thorough repair at
Deptford, under the inspection of the King's officers,
being then in the transport service, and previous to
her commencing the voyage on which she was lost
she was most minutely examined by the said officers,
and found every way fit to perform the same.
BANGOR, SEPT. 2.—Friday. about eleven, a.m., a
strange sloop, the Swift, of S•rangford, bound from
Strangford to Liverpool, with wheat,was seen beat-
ing about in the mouth of the Menai Straits with-
out any cloth set, and completely at the mercy of
the sea. At half-past eleven she disappeared from
the view of the spectators on shore, having struck
on the Dutchman's Bank and almost instantly sunk.
A Liverpool pilot boat passing at the time, within
hail, the men observed the Swift's crew clinging to
the mast, but could render no assistance, the surf
running so tremendously on the bank, where there
were not above two feet water. All hands perished.
COWES, SEPT. 3.—On Thursday, 29th August,
at half-past one p.m., Commodore Lord Yarborough
made a signal for the outward and leewardmost to
weigh ; and after lying off and on in Cowes roads
until the line was formed, the Commodore made
sail with 30 sail of the squadron, and was clear off
St. Helen's at five p.m.
Ott Friday, 30th, at day-light, the squadron ar-
rived off Cherbourg. The Louisa, Earl of Durham,
having been despatched by the Commodore the
previous evening to announce the squadron having
sailed, was observed at eight p.m., saluting Rear-
Admiral Baron Mackau's flag, which was returned.
At nine o'clock the squadron anchored in the roads,
and the Commodore also saluted the flag, which was
returned.

Unfortunately the Coquette brig, passing on the
wrong side on the buoy in the western passage,
struck on the breakwater. The Commodore imme-
diately made signals for the squadron to give assist.
once ; and the Commodore went on board, and
other yachts' boats followed the example. The
French Admiral sent out boats and launches with
casks, and afforded every possible assistance; and
the brig was shored up, arid on the rising tide
floated off, and was taken 'in tow by the George
Canning steamer, of Liverpool, and towed into the
road., where she was supplied by Admiral Mackati
with an anchor and cable. Fortunately this took
place previously to a heavy gale of wind, or it would
have been utterly impossible to have saved her.
The squadron rode out the gale, some of which,
hiving piked frOin their anchors and cables, were
obliged to run into the basin for shelter; and though
so much crowded with shipping, met with no other
accidents, not even an instance of a spar being car-
ried away.
Arrived the American ship Vesper, Hunt master,
54 days from New Orleans, for orders, with to-
bacco. Also the British brig Ann, Potts master, 88
days from Rio de Janeiro, for orders, with coffee.
CANTERBURY.—On Friday evening last we were
visited with one of the most dreadful hurricanes ex-
oerienced in this part of the country for many years.
For some days previous the weather hol been
sul'ry, and thioughout the entire of Friday it was
very hot and the air serene. The rain began to
fall at about. eight, and a brisk wind sprung up,
~hich soon increased to a violent hurricane, and
continued almost incessantly and with only a slight
abatement until Sunday morning. The hops, nearly
ready to pick, were blown down ; the bine knocked
off, and branches torn away and strewed about the
grounds in every direc•ion. The loss in some
plantations is very great. The news from the coast
is most disastrous.

FEVERSHAM.—Immense damage has been done
to the orchards and hop-gardens in the neighbour-
hood of Feversham by the late severe gales. Se-
veral vessels belonging to Feversham have become
wrecks along the coast ; some, it is said, are entirely
lost.

HAMBURG, AUG. 30.—8 y accounts from Esi.
fore, it appears that the Frau Johanna, T. Tohorg,
master, of S•ral.uod, bound from die port to Dron-
theim, in a severe storm on the 22d, shipped a
heavy sea, and was sunk three miles and a half
(German) from Moen. Only the cap of the mast
remained above water, and one of the men was
seen sitting on it. A great number of boats en-
deavoured to reach the wreck, but in the state of
the weather that was not an easy task. At last,
after the poor fellow had been nine hours in his ex.
trardinary position, he was brought off by Captain
J. H. Evers, of the Alai.
HERNE BAY.—The storm proved very disastrous
at Herne Bay. Four barges were broken to pieces.
The pier has also received considerable injury.
LOWESTOFFE, SEPT. 2.—Three large vessels were
passed in the North Sea dismasted, and the sea
Making a free passage over them ; another was seen
on her beam-ends. The accounts from the North
'Sea are truly appalling
LIVERPOOL, SEPT. L—Wind N, blowing a gale.
A sm sek went doNii yesterday, near Orm's head,
and all hands perished.
SIIEERNISS —On Saturday there was a tremen-
dous gale from the N.W.; several small vessels have
been wrecked, two barges have been sunk, and a
ivessel and barge went adrift. In the town, the
;chimney-pots and tiles have- been blown about to
l
surceha degree as to render it unsafe to walk in the
sat et s. We scarcely remember so dreadful a gale
this period of the year.

Hops are advertised to be sold at Salisbury at
41 a pound. They have been as high as 2s. 6d.
On the 28th ult. a boat belonging to the
Marcia cutter, passing down the Medina to Calshot Castle,
with Ceptrin and Mrs. WOODHAIi, upset near Dudner, by
going too ne.r a sand bank ; the C ptain anti his lady
were, however, rescued by the exertions of the wen.

We understand that a communication has
been received from the Dutch Goverianent, which win
1-ad to a renewal of th'e Cadet ence, tbateidieri of*Which
are expected to meet to--day or to-morrow.

BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BaussEts, SEPT. 1.-M. Gendehien has sent to the
Minister of the Interior his tesilnation of the office of
President of the Committee of the Standards of Honour.

M. Lion, one of the Commissioners sent to London,
arrived at Brussels yesterday.
A letter from Antwerp, of the 31st August, says—
" Our city continues to suffer by the ravages of the cholera.
Within these two days there have been a considerable
number of new cases, and last night there were several
deaths caused by this Asiatic disorder in the hospital."
OSTEND, Sarr. I.—For the last 48 hours a most
frightful storm has been raging; such a one has not been
known here within the memory of man. This morning
an English brig, with a rich cargo, ran ',ground. At the
same instant a Swedish brig, with a cargo of deals, ran
ashore to the west of the port. The crews of both vessels
were saved.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the Talbot steam-boat,
which left on Friday night for London, was blown on the
coast near Ostend ; part of the passengers have already
landed ; the (Firers, who are the greater number, and more
prudent, wait till the vessel shall be left dry, which will
be between 4 and 5 o'clock. We see to the West, and
!till at a great di-tance, a vessel approaching the coati., it
is to e feared that it will have the same fate as the others.

BRUSSELS. SEPT. 2. —The King and Qoeen will this
month visit the provinces of Namur and Liege. Their
Mieries wiil leave Brussels on the 12th of September.
They will visit Namur, Durant, Huy; Liege, Spa, and

OFFICIAL DEPARTMENT of FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Britissms, SEPT. 3.—The Governinent has just been
informed that his AI ijesty, the King of Sweden, having
1-arnt the favouraltly m inner in which Swedish ships are
treated in the poets of B •Liiusn, has de,iired that all ships
belonging to the kingdom of Belgium, wich their re
spective cargoes, arriving in the ports and on the cows of
Sweden, shall nut bencefirth be sulijeoted to higher
duties of an.-denomination whatever than Swedish ships
and thi-ir cargoes.
For the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The Secretary General.
(Signed) NOTHOMB

BRUSSEL% SEPT 3.—The Monileur contains the list
of th. names of the persons who have received medals fi.r
services performed on occasion of the cholera.—(The list
fills five columns of the Moniteur.)
ANTWERP, Sm. 2.—Yesterday the wind, blowing
with great vicleace from the north-west, dot great damage
to the old dike of the Scheldt, between the opening at
Burght and Fort Isabella. Workmen ate now employed
in securing this dike till the works for re-torin,9, the /likes
of the inundated Pold-r of Borgenwiert shall be completed.

A Stack of 50,000 favines,which was three fret ab=•ve
the level of the usual high tide, was swept away yesterday
by the ebbing tide.
We lam that the villages of Berendrecht and
Stabroeck are inunda•ed by the tide of yesterday evening,
havirg risen above the dikes. Two of our gun boats have
been driven from their moorings, and run aground ; they
have not suffered much dama,g,e. A Dutch gun-boat i•
aground at Doel. All the ships at anchor in our roads
have weathered the storm ; in the basins three ship are
adrift—only one is slightly damaged. The tide is now
coming in wi,h a very strong N.W. wind, so that we
fear we shall have another very high tide.
M. Potier passed through our city to-day on this way
to the Hague. The Prince of Orange had alrea,ly, on
the 29th August, given orders that he should not expe-
rience any difficulty on entering Holland.
The Chamber of Represenzatives, in its sittings of the
30th and 31st of August, and Sept. 2, has continued the

NAPLES, AUG. 4.—Last week there was a great Mi-
nisterial Council, at which the King in person presided.
This sitting is a subject of general conversation, fur it is
believed that subjects of great importance relative to the
political situaiion of the country were discussed. Several
couriers have been despatched by the department of Fo-
reign Affairs, which circumstance strengthens the nation
of a great change in the system of Government. it being
supposed that notice must be given to the Foreign Coot, s,
who are the most interested, to obviate misunderstandings,
which the Givernownt must naturally wish to prevent.
If the public is right in its conjectures, we may expect a
more liberal policy at home than hitherto, for the King
is fond of popularity and much inclined to new ideas. The
introducii( n of innovations does not, however, wholly de-
pend on the King's will. The family compacts with
Austria, awl several Italian stares, have provided for such
cows, which cannot he allowed, unless they are without
injury to one of the contracting. parties, but are otherwise,
according to the stipulations, inadmissible. The Ministers,
it is thought, are fully aware of their situation, and pro.
reed with great caution.— Frankfort Papers, Aug. 29.
