FRASE/OHURCH, DEC. 22.—During the tre-
mendous gale on Monday last, a large vessel was
driven on shore on Rattry 'Beach. it appears the
ship hai.! struck.about. eight o'clock, and •was dis-
covered about twelve o'clock the same night. The
people gathered en the b'ach, htit the sea running
mountains high, maize it impossible to give the-least
a.sistance from the shore. Soon after day-break,
two of the crew wok to one of the boats, but alas!
the merciless waves soon overset the boat, and
they were seen no more! Some time after this, •
another boat was seen to make for the shore with
one Myr) tier, 'which he most miraculously eiteeted,
from' being lashed to the boat. Yet, however,
was not out of danger, the sea running ko high,
and the man so much exhausted,- tie-wis unable to,
unloose himself.. In this perilous situation. he viol
mained, until Mr. 'J. GEobes, Firmer, in &oat.
land, and WILLIAM NOLNE, Overseer, in Brostis.
land, With other four men, pushed through the
waves and got hold of the boat ; bat before they.
could get him liberated from the boat, a heavy sea
struck the boat, by which they lost their hold..
Again Mr. GEDDES, With tfle assistance of the
others, pushed forward, and happily succeeded in
the deliverance of the man.

The masts of the vessel being cut away, it was
hoped she would keep together until, the weather
became more moderate ; the acs,. however, ,ran so
heavy upon her, that-she parted and

Place pradise with their 18-pound carronades, in

there for that purpose, and floating on the water.
The slTts altogether were with astonishing accu-
racy diretted ; many of theM apparently fell within
a few feet of the objet, discharged from a distance
of nvarly, half a league ; so that had it been as !arm.

been sent to the bottom. Many parties in row_

ZORD WHINPORTII's HOLIMDAR voLuNrErtim.

AFTER finishing their time of service, fourteen
days of Garrison and Town Duty at Maidstone Bar_
racks, were reviewed by the LORD LIEtrfENANT,
attended by Lords CAMDEN, AMHERST and MAR-
svtAm, and several other Officers of Distintlion.—
Lord Wiwi-wax-1-H giving the word of command
with the greatest clearness and precision, the Regi_
ment went through the whole of their manonvres
to the satisfaftion of a large assemblage..of speaa_
tors, who were pleased to express their approbation
in very flattering terms indeed,—Lord WHIT.
WORTH, in addressing the Corps previous to their
return home, said, " That if any thing could add
to the respett he ever should feel for,the honour
they. had done him in volunteering their services for
that period, which was then expired, it was the
gratification he had in communicating to them the
contents of the Paper he had just read, which con-
tained Lord RoMNEY's very handsome encomiums
upon the Soldier-like manner in which they acquitted
themselves in the field; together with Col. HAY'S
acknowledgments to the Officers and Men for their
constant attention during the whole time the Regi.
ment had been under his cbmmand." Indeed Lord
WHITWORTH, Lieutenant-Colonel LAMBARD, and
the rest of the Officers, were constantly in the Bar-
racks, from day-light till dark. The Dutchess and
Mrs. HAY frequently attended his Lordship and the
Officers in visi,;og the Mess-rooms of the Men,
seeing that their meals were made every way com-
fortable. His Lordship continued, alluding to the
:Paper in his hand, " This confirms the opinion I en-
tertained of the benefit the Service would experi-
ence; by the measures that have been taken to enable
„us to acquire that degree of proficiency, to make'
ourselves useful to our Country when called into
actual service:; upon which occasion, whenever
.such an event does happen, am confident there is
.not a man who hears me, but will do his duty like
a Soldier and an Englishman." Heie the Men
could no longer contain their feelings which they
. gave vent to, by saluting his Lordship with three
times three loud Huzzas. After thanking them,
his Lordship proceeded, by saying, how much the
Regiment was indebted to Adjutant WAYTH, for
the progress they had made ; and _ter Colonel HAY,
not only for the constant attention to the Service,
from the moment they were put underWcOmmand,
but also for the very gentleman-iiWtnailiitrLwith
which he enforced his instructions von-,evitpitcca-
. sion. The Men gave their assent to thisdaTirkturn-
ing Colonel HAY thanks, with three hearty Cheers,
expressing their happiness at hearing that Coloilel
HAY will have the command of the Distrid, should
the Services of the Holmsdale Volunteers -be called
upon.

Since the return of the Regiment, they have
been presented with their Colours, in Knowle Park;
by the Dutchess of DORSET, attended by the Duke
(a charining boy' only ten years of age, though' in
the Rifle Company); her Grace was also surrounded
by her two lovely daughters, .and all the Beauty
and Fashion in the neighbourhood. The Colours
being consecrated by the Chaplain to the Regiment,
the Rev. T. S. CURTIN, her Grace addressed the
Regiment, Col. WHiTwoRTH (his Lordship's bro.
deer) assisting in holding the Colours, " Volun-
teers, these Colours I have the honour to present
you with, I am confident you will regard as em-
blems of your Attachment and Loyalty to the best
of Kings, Reverence for your Religion, Love for"
your Country and Constitution, as sacred pledge
for all those. Rightsi dear to Englishmen. May
God Almighty bless, preserve and prosper them in
your hands !"
Lord R TH, upon receiving the Colours,
from her Grace, replied;
" Madam, I return you. Thanks in. the name of
the Holmsdale Volunteers, in whose hands, he as-
sured, these Colnuis will be esteemed and held in vio-
late in remembrance of your kindness; added to
which, We cannot have a better incentive: defenddefendtherri than the boasted inscription the'
" Never Conquered.— Hohnsdaie VtilklnAers
and permit tne,.Neladam, to add, Neveeiti'll."—
The Regiment then marched to SevennalaTChurch,
preceded by. their Chaplain, who delivered a very
impressive and loyal Discourse upon the occasion ;
after which the Regiment returned to Knowle (and'
dePosited their'Colours),, where the Officers dined in.
a most magnificent stile. Excellent dinners were
also provided for the Men, (consisting of more than
six hundred) at the different inns in Sevenoaks and
the neighbourhood.

. Among other Corps that have been ordered, to
March to the. Coast, are the following from.Chatham,
Rochester, and' Maidstone, viz. 'the Guards, the
