" Last night, about eight o'clock, .it came on
to blow very hard at S. S.W. and the gale con.
tinned until one`o'ctock, when it became a hurri-
cane, and continued with imabating fury until
o'clock this tsittriting . Several vesseht,were
heard tiring during the night, but no assistance
wits in the power of min to render them ; and
this morning, at day-light, the following ve3sels
were discovered on shore; and gone eotively to.
pieces :---

" liiis Aletjeaty's schooner Telegraph, undertbe
Hoe; two of her crew reported to, be lost.
" His Alajesty's sloop of war Jasper on the Reef
of Mount Batten, and the whole-of her crew ex-
cept 2 marines, also severahromen and nhildren—
in all upwards of 80 in number, have perished.
" The Princes: iliary,packet, in Deadman's Bay.
The Master, his wife, 2 children, and 2 marines,
drowned.—Several small craft; lighters, &e. hay e
sunk in the harbour; and the greater part of the
shipping have received more or less damage.--
The'oldest inhabitant of this port does not re-
member such a severe gale of wind. The houses
near the quays'had 3 feet water in thew and se
venal boats were seen floating ahoist the streets.

A Hamburg!' Muil, which arrived last night,
contains an account of some endeavours used by
the King of Swznati to bring the exports of that
Kingdom nearer to a level with the imports.—
Those merchants, whose commerce is shewn to
be most useful to the Country, are to be acdom-
modated with loans of Ciovernmeut paper.

Some of the Dublin Jacobin Journals' have
published a Letter purporting to be from vin Irish
Export of the name of GRAY (settled on the. Mis-
sissippi) to one or the Rebel 01CoNNotts, who is.
now Editor of a violent Anti-British 'American
Newspaper, in which he offers Emigrants 'hind for
three years gratis, cattle and corn to be paid for
when convenient, and riches and happiness in_the
land of woods and freedom. 'This reminds one
strongly. of LlsToN's song In the Africans., in
which Mr. COLMAN,has displayed all the prophetic
art which belongs to the ,true Poet.. Ex, Gr.

There was a Reform Meeting at Leeds on.
Thursday; but it produced nothing out of the
common routine. We are informed that. the Re-
spectable and Loyal io that populous place are
following the example of M►inchester and London,
as we have this day the satisfaction to announce.

It may be asked, why the Demagogue Orators
invariably advise their And•itors to conduct them-
selves peaceably. Is it because they ere aware
that it is the disposition of Mob Meetings
to act otherwise; it so, why so prone to get
them together ? Or is it, that in case of riot
they may skulk out of responsibility, and plead
their precept, to slip their necks out of the halter
they merit by their example, but only consign to
their deluded followers; it so, let their followers
be warned•bitheir selfish caution ! Or is it that
they hope that like other incantations of Evil
Spirits, the multitude will read their lessons
backwards, and hurry to commit the mischief
they are told they ought to avoid ; if so, they
are hypocrites us well as ! Or is it, hotly
that they feel they have not strength enough
as yet to throw off the mask of tnodertion, and
let loose their fury on Society ; if so,, they con-
fess their impotency to be (oh, wonderful!)
equal to their. malignity, their selfish fears, equal
to their appetite for plunder, and their cowardice
equal to their thirst for revenge'and murder.

The trial of WATSON, Senior,j fora capital of-
fence,• the result 'of:which we' announced •in a
Second Edition yesterday, is reported in our last
page. There was some cheering in the Court and
Court Yind when his ainritt,al was announced.
This is certainly very indecent and improper-7-but
not very easily, be prevepted or puniihed.
People will rejoice when their friends are absolv-
ed; and it is only nceessapy to take ,care: that po-
pillar clamour doe's not blit4 the souree'of Justice.
The purity„lind 'e'quity oF'Our Laws were never
more admirably illustrated, than itothis very trial.

felt throughout the town of Mansfield, and all the
adjacent villages. Mr. MALTBY, a Banker of that

The fishmongers complain that it is 'almost
useless to bring fish -for sale, from- the want of
purchasers. We belieye them ; for upon making
the calculat.ion 'of the 'value of the whole stock of
Sonle of their shops, it seems so trifling, that the
profit must be immense to enahle them to live at
all Kpon it ; but is not the fault their own 2
But what has been the consequence of these
high prices for fish, -but the abandooing, that ar-
ticle of food by the poor altogether, by a partial
abandoning of it by the faMily of middle life, and
by a considerable diminution of the sale /
Is not this t Cailsepithe.p.resent distress—does
it not strengthen it•=--ilocs it vot throw the pur-
chase of fish beyond the means offihe poor—does
it not contsibote to the greater consumption
of

tion, arc weil as in the purchase of the articles ; for
although the,-viewvof leading men'in such 'asso-
ciations -may' he the 'must kind and most liberal,
yet theseisentlemen may Dot be so conversant with
business:Hs, to knotw bow to purchasiat the best
market, or at the wholesale,prices. •
This wits' the case witlvone of the largest and
most ryspeetable parishes in the metropolis, The
clergyman, a man of the most amiable manners
and feelings, gave r ommission to a French gen-
tleman to purChese a gnaw ity of Cads for distribu-
tion, n WO induced an immediate offer by another,
of 80/. profit on the commission. This ended where
t shttuld have Commenced, by offering it by public
contract ; and the bargain was made for a•ship-
load in the Pool, of 300 chaldroni, to be delivered
by the ship's certificate of measure..,The differeoce
of pobl pleasure itict barge measure is tilts 'well
known to need further explanation than that one
ii'more than the other, and that the pool measure
is best for the buyer. .
This proves the necessity of purchasing by con•
tract, and at the first, market. .If bread is intended
be given, the'coutract should lie given .to him
who will sell it at the cheapest rate, nho will be
(ontent smith the least profit. It is the work of cha-
rity, anti also-of hard necessity, and not intended
for gain. We have no doubt, that many might be
found in the parish, who, under slid) distressing
cirtiumstences, would readily take it on 'small pro-
fits Ibut the surest mode is to offer it to all, and
to make the bat 'bargain. ' We are not' so much
acting lot; ourselves, 'as.far poverty.
This is proved in the 'atittve instance :-grad the
first intention been followed, the subscription
would have been SOL less; as it woold have given
SOL more,. and perhaps even. more that' that, far
the coals it has purchased. No objeCtion was
made to give up the controission given, as the
French' gentleMati declared, then he should get
nothing, by •

ing such order's by contract ; and no tratiestuan,in
,the Fat islt would have a just cause to be displeased,
as he might bave the order,---if he would take it
on the same terms with another.
We have one object before. us—the cause of .s"uf-
`fering humanity—antlat the cheaper rate at which
we purchase, the topic there will be left to give,
-and The less required to receive. • '
Many parishes give one httshel of coals and
pounds'of,potatoei for 90. Some kive
pota-
'ttscs at a farthing per pound.'
'This' gift at 'Ootaioes •will produce two or three
good effects. It keeps down the rising prices—it
diminishei the consumption of bread---it holds out
an inducement to farmers at it distance even from
the metropolis, w plant potatoes at the edge of
their fields, under the.shade of the timber trees,
'Where corn would not grow, :" • • .
An Old experienced farmer in Sussex, who fore-
