in preserving quiet and good order, whioh up to the present
momert every where prevails. His Excellency on the follow-
ing morning (Friday) ordered a telegraphic call of the Coun-
cil for Monday next.
These, as far as we can learn, are the principal occurrences
which took place during the gale, and the results of that awful
and severe visitation which has thus, by the decree of a wise
Providence, been made to fall upon us at a crisis of consi-
derable difficulty, and when the inhabitants of this island have
scarcely recovered from the effects of the August hurricane.
But God's will be done ! It is our duty to bow with perfect
submission to his inscrutable decrees, revere the hand from
whence these heavy chastisements come, and kiss the rod that
corrects us.

(From the West Indian, September 14.)
Thank God ! news has reached us of the arrival of the
steamer Spitfire at Grenada, without the loss of any of the
crew, or any human injury having been sustained.
We have been most opportunely and politely favoured with
a letter, dated Grenada, September 6, from an officer of the
steamer Spitfire, giving a minute account of what that vessel
suffered from the commencement of the storm to her arrival in
Grenada. We cannot do better than publish this valuable do-
cument verbatim : •

" At 8, A.M.', of the morning of the 3d instant the weather
assumed a threatening appearance, with the wind from the
N. E. H.M. ship Champion arrived with despatches for Capt.
Jones, and sailed about 8-45. At 9.30 the Commander ordered
the fires to be lighted; the symthometer fell very fast, and
eventually eleven-tenths. Several mail boats slipped and stood
out to sea. At 10-30 the anchor came home ; at 11, A.M.,
slipped the cable and stood out to sea ; 11-15 the dingy was
blown from the stern, and the gig swamped and washed from
the davits—the cutter stove and washed in board. The wind
veered round to the southward and westward ; the sea break-
ing over the vessel ; hove -the coals overboard that were lying
on deck to ease the vessel. : 1, p. ni. still blowing a hurri-
cane, the main trysaill jib, and forestaysail were blown from
the bolt ropes : ship labouring very much ; the forestrysail was
blown from the gaskets ; the maintrysail gaff carried away.
At 4, p.m., the mainmast went below the deck, falling across
the larboard quarter, without the slightest accident to any of the
crew ; the carpenter had gone forward for his axe, but before
he returned the mast was bedded in the ship's side. The lining
of the vessel was broke in several placis by the violence of the
sea. The centre boiler become leaky, and the engineers had
to put out the fire, which impeded our progress. Had the
other boilers sustained similar injury, we must inevitably have
been lost, as the seas were making a clean break over. us ; we
had all our hatches battened down, and still it required the
exertions of the men to pump the water out. About 6,,p: m.,
the weather moderated, and at 8 the night assumed a beautiful
appearance with a moderate breeze. Some time before leav-
i9g Carlisle Bay, the spray from the sea flew so thick that *e
could not discern the length of the vessel. When we slipped
we had three bumboat people on board, Toby Blackman,
William Carden, and Deborah Lopez, who are now on shore
at this place, waiting a passage to Barbadoes.
" A brig arrived this afternoon, and was off Barbadoes yes-
terday ; she experienced heavy squalls on the 3d, with the wind
from the eastward, but nothing more ; she was then about 180
miles to the N. E. of Barbadoes.

".On the morning otthe 3d, several of the inhabitants pre-
dicted that it would blow hard to the northward and eastward,
or that they would have heavy rain.
" The inhabitants of this island are talking of sending over
a cargo of yams, and I have heard that the subscription raised
for Antigua is net to be given until they know the extent of the
loss at Barbadoes.

We learn from Mr. Shannon, who arrived yesterday from

a gale of wind, which blew on the 3d September, from five
p.m. till nine. Several trees and small houses were destroyed.
The north end of the island was strewed with lumber and pieces
of wrecked vessels. The town of Castries did not suffer mate-
rially. We learn from the same source that the brig Thomas
Parker bad arrived St. Lucia dismasted, with two anchors a

SOLAR SPOTS.—During the past week 'a number
of spots have been observed on the Sun's disc, amounting
to sixteen or seventeen, and a few of them of extraordinary
magnitude. A double range of them on the eastern edge
presented a very singular spectacle. There has not been a
similar appearance since the year 1830.—ReadingMercuay.

DISTRESSING SUICIDE.—On Friday evening,
about eleven o'clock, considerable alarm was created in
High-street, Glasgow, by the report of a pistol in the house
of Mr. Ewing, victualler, opposite Bell-street ; and on in-
quiry it was found that Mr. Ewing had shot himself. For
some time past Mr. Ewing believed that a certain indivi-
dual, now or formerly a flasher in town, had obtained an
influence over his wife,,the mother of four children, and
his complaints on the subject made his position the more
intolerable. Sometime ago he left the house, and was about
to establish himself in another business, for which purpose
he wished to obtain a part of his property. He had been
on Friday in consultation with some friends on the subject,
and had gone to the shop to obtain an interview with Mrs.
Ewing, who was at the time in company with the object of
his suspicions ; but after sending several times for her, she
refused to make her appearance, upon which he committed
the dreadful deed.—Scots Tinges.

HOW TO, PRESERVE APPLES.—Thinking that
the following observations on this subject might be of ad-
vantage to some of our readers, we have copied them from
the Massachussetts' Agricultural Repository, an American
publication :—" It is the practice of some persons to pick
apples in October, and first spread them on a floor of an
upper room. The practice is said to render apples more
durable, by drying them. But I can affirm this to be a
mistake. Apples, after remaining so long on the trees as
safety fmm the frost will admit, should be taken directly
from the trees to close casks, and kept as dry and as cool
as possible. If suffered to 1i6.0n the floor for weeks, they
wither and lose, their flavour, without acquiring any addi-
tional durability. The best mode of preserving apples for
spring use I have found to be the putting them in dry sand
as soon as picked. For this purpose I dry sand in the heat
of the summer, and late in October put down the apples in
layers, with a covering of sand upon each layer. The sin-
gular advantages of this mode of treatment are these :-
1. The sand keeps the apples from the air, which is essen-
tial to their preservation. 2. The sand checks the evapo-
ration of the apples, thus preserving their full flavour ; at
the same time any moisture yielded by the apples (and
some there will be) is absorbed by the sand, so that the
apples are kept dry, and all mustiness is prevented. My
pippins in May and June are as fresh as when first picked,
.even the ends of the stems look as if just separated from
the twig."

VICISSITUDES OF WEDLOCK.—A person living
at a town in the west, has married several wives, with not
one of whom he has had the good fortune to agree. It so
happened, however, that he was not troubled with them
long ; in a few months, at most, and sometimes a few
weeks only, they sickened and died. This appearinc, to
be a general rule, he took care to get • one underhand,
ready to supply the place of the last defunct. Acting on
this principle a few months since No. 4 or 5, we don't
know which, died, and a few days after her successor
was 'taken home. But now came an exception to the
above general rule. It was our hero's turn now to get
sick, and his rib so far improved on his example as not
only to look out for another bed-fellow, but to gather up
the little' money which she could lay her hand on, with
which she purchased a license, and got married a few days
since—Benedict being not only still alive, but . convales-
cent.—Cornivall Gazette.

•
HORRID MURDER.—A most diabolical ,murder
was committed on Friday last at Old Dalby, in Leicester-
shire. Two young men, sons of small farmers, named
Turner and Wells, had been drinking, when Turner became
quarrelsome, and wanted to fight. Wells refused to do so,
and soon afterwards they separated, when Turner waylaid
Wells, and, at a short distance from the village, be fell upon
him and brutally murdered him. The villain was shortly
afterwards apprehended, with alarge quantity of blood upon
his clothes. An inquest has since been held, and a verdict
of " wilful murder" returned against Turner, who has been
committed to Leicester gaol to take his trial for the offence.

morning last, between three and four o'clock, an oat rick,
the produce of about fifteen acres, the property of Mr. J.
Godwin, of Durweston, was discovered to be on fire ;
burnt with such rapidity that not an atom was saved. That:
it was the act of some incendiary there is no doubt. For-
tunately Mr. Godwin was fully insured.—Sherborne Journal.

In consequence of the abundant rain further masses
of the rocks of the Dent du Midi have become detached,

MAlDSTONE.—Michaelmas Fair took place on
Saturday, and the weather being particularly favourable, a
great number of persons came into the town, and in some
departments of trade considerable business was done. The
hop market was very dull, scarcely any sales taking place
on the first day, and but few on Monday. In the horse
fair there were a great many colts, but the Inajority were
very inferior. Buyers were very scarce, and consequently
little business was done. The total absence of choice nags
excited considerable surprise. On Pcnenden Heath, where
the stock fair takes place,, there was a much shorter sup-
ply than usual of Welsh beasts, but trade was good, and
almost every thing was cleared off. There were a few pens
of sheep, of which the best sorts went off at good prices.—

BRIGHTON REGISTRATION.—The Whig party
in this borough, and those Reformers who desire the aboli-
tion of existing abuses, without risking the greater evils of
tumult and anarchy, have, in the Registration just ended,
well vindicated their claim to respect as sincere and honest
politicians. They neither took a single objection, nor op-
posed the allowance of any man's claim. The ungracious
task of objecting was divided between the Tories and Messrs.
Slight and Faithful. 'Upon the objections taken by the
Tories, we shall not waste a moment in commenting. The
Tories ever opposed the Reform Bill, and it was- to be ex-
pected that they would limit, as much as their means would
allow, the extent of its operation. Better things were,
however, to be expected from such Ugiversal Suffrage men
as Messrs. Slight and Faithfull ; and we shall, therefore
canvass the objections taken by them.—Brighton Guardian,
REGISTRATION OF WEST SOMERSET=- The.
Registration of West Somerset
,has at length been most
industriously, fairly, and calmly completed ; and how o.qes
the constituency stand ? Precisely in the same condition
as it did after the passing of the Reform Bill. West
Somerset can only be represented by Liberal members.
The property of Western Somerset is more subdivided than
that of any other county in the West of England. One
thousand acres of land in Taunton Deane, is worth five
thousand in the higher part of Dorsetshire, or on the Wilt-
shire Downs ; hence, therefore, amongst the landed pro-
prietors, as they are more numerous than in less fertile
counties, so are they less liable to be swayed by the influ-
ence, or led by the opinion of any particular man. In Dor-
setshire, the Squire would be cut dead if he differed from
my Lord in opinion, for there every great man is a planet,
either a Jupiter, Saturn, cr Herschel, with his Moons ;
and, as these satellites accompany their planet in his tour,
woe unto any unfortunate wight who would impede their
progress. The landholders of Somerset, however, may be
likened to the twinkling stars, of which we see so many
every clear evening, and. hich, according to the rules of
astronomy, are themselves independent suns of other sys-
tems of planets.--Sherburne Journal.

Tories, with the exception of the Choristers of St. Asaph.
POVERTY.—On Saturday evening a young man
out of employ, aged about 23 years, named William Beer,
son of a shepherd at Dover, poisoned himself. We could
not learn any cause that prompted the unfortunate man to
commit the dreadful act but poverty. He was living with
his father on a very scanty parochial pittance, his aged pa-
rent being ill and unable to attend to his own employment.

The Angel Inn at Oxford, which has had her
Majesty for its guest, will in future be called the Queen's
Hotel.
The Luxor, towed by the steamer Pilotin, arrived
last week at Rouen, deeply laden • with the granite for the
base of the obelisk. She is waiting for the waters to rise
to come to Paris, where probably, after discharging her
cargo, she will be broken up.
ANSTRUTHER.—The fishermen upon this coast
have, for a considerable time, been annoyed at the fishing
ground by immense shoals of dog-fish, which lizive increased
in such numbers that for the last two or three days the
greater part of the boats have not put to sea. The hooks
on the haddock lines have either been seized by the dogs,
or the haddocks previously hooked were so torn and de-
stroyed, that they were unfit for the market.—Edinburgh
Observer.
A great deal of attention has been excited by the ap-
pearance of a prospectus of a Company to cut a canal which
will unite the Danube and Maine, and complete a water
communication traversing the whole of Europe from the
German Ocean, through the Rhine, the Maine, and the
Danube, to the Black Sea, and, by means of the Karlowtz
canal, now forming in the Austrian States, from the Danube
in Hungary to the Adriatic. This great yet practicable
undertaking will commence on the Danube, near Kelheim,
and pass through Nuremburg to the Maine at Bamberg.
GIN VERSUS BREAD.—In High-street, Blooms-
bury, there are seven gin shops, and but two bakers ! From
High Holborn to the corner of Gray's Inn-lane there are
twenty-seven
.public houses, and seven bakers' shops only !
From the corner of Gray's Inn-lane, Holborn, to 'King's-
road (not quite a quarter of a mile), there are twelve gin
shops, and but two bakers' shops 1..! In Saffron-hill there
are eight gin shops within the space of 200 yards, and but
three bakers ! Bishopsgate-street and Tottenham-court-
road present the same preponderance of gin houses over
bakers' shops.
IMPROVEMENT OF THE CONDITION OF THE
WORKING CLASSES.—Yesterday a vestry meeting of the
inhabitants of St. Clement Danes, in the Strand, was held,
in compliance with a requisition most respectably signed,
for the purpose of considering the important question,
whether any and what efforts could be made to induce
habits of industry, prudence, and economy, among the
working classes of the parish. The chair was filled by
the senior churchwarden, Mr. Lacey. On the motion of
Mr. Edie, seconded by Mr. Prout, it was resolved to ap-
point a committee to consider the subject, and to make a
report at a future vestry.
SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.—Tuesday. night,
between nine and ten o'clock, thick volumes of smoke were
seen issuing from the rooms occupied as counting-houses,
&c., by Mr. Mulholland, Water-street. It was found, on
examination, that a quantity of cotton, with which the
warehouseman had been in the habit of cleaning the lamps
from time to time, and which had been all thrown together
in an old coal-scuttle, had spontaneously ignited. The fire
had communicated to some casks of goods which lay close
by, and, but for the fortunate and timely discovery which
took place, it is probable that a considerable quantity of
property would have been destroyed. As it was, the fire
was quickly extinguished.—Liverpool Mercury.
ORANGEISINI.—The more one reads of, and reflects
upon, the proceedings and acts of the Orange Association
in this country, the greater becomes the astonishment that
any Government, professing to govern by any thing like
law or justice, or to maintain order in the country, should
have suffered an institution to exist, which, under the mask
of extreme loyalty, was continually engaged in contention
and strife with,the constituted authorities, and characterized
by " an insolent contempt of all subordination." That
the Orangemen persecuted their fellow-countrymen in the
North, " wrecked" their habitations, and pursued them to

and 1 from Bombay.
DEER STEALING. The party that attacked.
Brockhampton Park, on the morning of the Bth of Sep—
tember, consisted of seven men, part of a desperate and
notorious gang of deer and sheep stealers, residing in the
vicinity of Wychwood Forest, who go with horses and
carts great distances in their predatory excursions ; they
came in differept parties, and met near the Park, at one
o'clock in the morning, and were not satisfied with killing
three deer, but made two attempts unsuccessfully to take
more. They have all, excepting one, been before con-
vcted. The two Claridgas, alias Prattlys, Melton, and
Sherborne, were apprehended a few nights afterwards.—

banishment and murder, are facts which have . been long no -
torious ; but we owe to the investigation of the Comrinttee
of the House of Commons appointed to inql lire into' the
nature and tendency of the system, that these f 'acts' are now
so established and recorded, that Orancr'eism and crime
have become synonymous, whatever the fools, fa natics, and
hypocrites who are enrolled under it may say to ' the con-
trary. We have lived to see the day when the l mast and
swagger of being an Orangeman, so far from being a re-
commendation, is a bar to office ; and we trust the time is
not distant when to be a member of an Associatiot' of so
dangerous a character will not only be an incapacity t o re-
ceive, but also to retain, any office, place, or commia sion
under the Crown. The confederation must not only be
discountenanced, but dispersed. Its existence is incomPti-
tible with the rcpose or safety of the country.--Souther,'.

It is said that Morey is about to be sent to a mason
de sante. Fieschi continues to manifest a desire to make
revelations. On Tuesday the President of the Court of
Peers, accompanied by the Procureur-General, and one of
the Secretaries, went to the Conciergerie. The conference
was a long one, but the result cannot be known. It is
also stated that Fieschi is in a state of mind approaclting
to insanity.

PoRTSMOuTir, OCT. 2:l—Yesterday being the
anniversary of the Battle of Traililgar, the officers of his
Majesty's ship Victory gave a splendid dinner on the occa-
sion to several Naval Officers and friends. On the health
of the surviving heroes of that glorious day being drunk,
Captain Badeock, R.N. (the only officer present who was
in that action), made the following short and appropriate
speech :—" Gentlemen—This is the 30th anniversary of the
battle of Trafalgar, and perhaps the last that will ever be
commemorated on board the old Victory, as she is going to
he laid up after a service of nearly seventy years, and hav-
ing fought in several of England's most glorious naval
battles. England is now in a state of peace, but should
she again be plunged in war, may we all remember the
sigma) of that most gallant chief who fell in the hour of vic-
tory on the quarter-deck of this ship, ' England expects
every man will do his duty.' Mr. President and Gentle-
men, I have .or myself and those, survivors who fought on
that day to rctur'ri you thanks for the honour you have done
us in drinking our :icalths."
SHIPS IN ORDINARY.—Ships laid up in ordi-
nary are stripped of all their- rigging and guns—stores and
other contents are taken on si'll?re. The men and officers
are all paid off, except the hoeswain, gunner, carpenter,
and cook, and six ordinary seamen. The ships are moored.
by large chains of iron, sixty fathoms lo.ng, consisting of one
hundred and twenty links, and having al`• each end a large
anchor. The chains are stretched across the harbour (the
Hamoaze';, and the anchors sunk in the mud. In the middle
of each chain is a large e
iron ring and a swivel, iv which are:
attached two thick cales, called bridles, sufficiently long to
be taken on board the ship to be moored. The bridles, when
not in use, are constantly sunk, a small cable being fastened
to them, which is brought up to a buoy on the surface of
the water, and there .made fast ; when wanted the ends are
easily hauled up by means of a buoy-rope, and are then
passed through each of the ship's hawse-holes, and fasteLed
on board. By the bridles being fastened to the same swivel,
the ships swing easily with the tide, which runs amazingly
strong, especially the ebb, with the wind at north ; at these;
times no boat can make bead against it. In Hamoaze are
nearly one huntlred of these moorings, each capable of hold-
ng a line-of-battle ship.—Stanfield's Coast Scenery.
CORONER'S INQUEST.—STAGE-COACH ACCl-
CENT.—Yesterdav an inquest was held at Charing-cross
Hospital, before Sir. Higgs, on view of the body of James
Levy, aged eight years. Mr. James Rockliffe, plumber and
glazier, of No. 33, Great Wild-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields,
on Monday afternoon was looking out of his first floor win-
don', when_ he saw a Dulwich stage pass up the street, andi
saw the deceased climb up behind, in doing which he be-.
came entangled in the off wheel. The screams of the poor
child caused several persons who were passing at the time
to call out to the driver to stop, which he immediately did,
and then the unfortunate boy .was extricated, being in an
insensible and mutilated state. The Jury returned a ver-
dict of " Accilental Death."—Deodand, ss.
On Friday afternoon, a rather interesting young
woman, daughter of R. Campbell, arrived at the Broomielaw
from Tarbert, where she had been residing for some time
with her friends, in consequence of her father's second oar-
riagc. Having, however, been seized with the rose in one
of her legs, which had burst, and from which she was endat,
ing the most excruciating pain, it was thought necessary that
she should come to Glasgow, in order that prompt medical.
treatment might be procured. Shortly after the arrival of
the vessel at the Broomielaw, the steward waited upon the
girl's father, and requested that he would have her removed.
The intimation was, however, disregarded, and she was al-
lowed to remain on liat:l all night. On being refused shel-
ter under the paternal roof; the destitute girl was taken to
the Police-office,' and from the,2ce to the Royal Infirmary,.
where her sufferings were found a sufficient passport to ad-
mission, without the, intervention of a certificate.--Scots

BRUTAL OUTRAGE.-011 Saturday night week a
disturbance took place amongst some of the lower classes its
Stramongate. . Mr. Fawcett's son, who is the chief borough
constable, proceeded to the spot, in order to quell the riot ;
and the ringleader was taken prisoner. Mr. Fawcett, sen.,
then came up, and was in the act of stooping down, assisting
his son to put hand-cuffs on the man, when a brother of the
prisoner came suddenly behind, kicked him with savage
violence, and laid him prostrate upon the ground. The ruf-
fian was immediately secured. Mr. Fawcett was carried.
home in a most shocking state, having roceived a frightful
injury in the lower part of the abdomen. He lingered in
excruciating agony, although the most prompt medical aid.
was immediately afforded him, until - Monday, when death
put an end to his sufferincYs.—Blackburne Gazette.
MURDER.-Wednesday afternoon, in a quarrel be-
tween William Wright, a shoemaker, and James Imrie,
porter, in Fountain Close, High-street ; the latter received.
a stab with a knife, or other sharp instrument, on the right
side of the abdomen, which caused part of the entrails to
obtrude. Imrie was carried by the Police to the ROyal
Infirmary, and his case being reported dangerous, Wright
has been taken into custody. He died on Friday, leaving
a widow and one child unprovided for.—Edinburgh Ad.
