NAVAL NEWS.

PLYMOUTH, Nov. 21.—Arrived his Majesty's
ship , Orestes, of 16 guns, Captain LAP,EriOTIERE,
from a ctuize. Last night, about 12 o'clock, dur-
ing a heavy gale of wind from the South East, a
large brig was discovered approaching the Orestes,
supposed to have been
.a merchantman, 'and in con-
sequence she was hailed; and no answer being re-
turned, three muskets were tired at her ; both ships
being then very near each other, it was deemed ,ex-
pedient to throw, the sails of the Orestes a-back,
which was accordingly done, when she drifted
a-stern, the brig still continuing her course,
.and
in consequence almost immediately after, she ran
foul of the Orestes, and fortunately cleared her im-
mediately, otherwise both ships must have foun-
dered, as a.vefy heavy. sea was running; the latter
has received considerable damage, and has lost her
bowsprit, fore-top-mast,.main-top-gallant-mast, and
cutwater, and was obliged to bear up for the first
port she could make, and is gone up the bar,

THE,POETICAL TALLOW CHANDLER.

" lust like the candles on his shelves,
His two dull lines the chandler mixes;
The first exceeds his longest twelves,
. The iatter scarce exceeds his sixes."

Yesterday the LORD NlA.ron signifiei his deter-
mination to fine every baker in the full pendlty,who
shall be proved, before him, to make a false weekly
return, or omit, a true one, of the quantity and price
of any corn or flour purchased by fiirn on the pre-
ceding market-day. A determination highly com-
mendable op the part of his Lordship, and which,
we trust, will contribute most effectually to prevent
those. fraudulent collusions by which the price of
bread is artificially kept up to the public, notwith-
standing the fall of bread-corn, and flour, in the
markets.

The Gentleman who lately made so unhappy a
visit at the house. of the Duke of Cambridge, at
Windsor, as stated in this Paper of Wednesday the
7111 instant, is said to be of the name, and also of
the noble family of Aboyne.
