SIMI NEWS.

The Victory, 131tAITH vt* MTH, passed tbrongh
the Downs yesteiday, from Bombay for London.

11Itt.ijOarr, Fse. 22.—The Providence, RostN-
SONi from Cork to Bristol, was driven on shore
and' sunk in Hubberstone.
FAtmouTti, Fll2. 21.—1 t has blown a tremen-
dous gale all this day from W. to W. N. W. so as
to prevent any communication with the shipping
in the ['toads, which appear tO ride easy. Seve.
rat have yard and top-masts struck, and their se.
cunt! anchors down.

HULL, FRB. 22 —The brie Isabella, of Sunder-
land, coal laden, came on shore at the Sporn
Point, on the sea side, at two o'clock on Sunday
morning, and there is not much hope of getting
her off.

ItamsGATE, FE8.23 —Came in the New Singers,
NB WTON, 11.0111 London to Naples, with loss of
an anchor and cable ; and veral others, for
shelter.

BttlytnAm, Fos. -22.—We had last night a most
violent gale of wind at W. N. W. ; a brig, name
unknown, 'parted from both her anchors and
drove to sea ; no other vessel suffered. This
morning the wind came from the North, and all
the outward-bound have sailed.
DEAL, FEB. 23.—1 t has blown hard all this
morning from W.N.%V., and many of the out ward-
bound are coming back. At 3 P.M. the wind
shifted suddenly to the Northward, and, blowing
strong►, the ships are again proceeding down Chan-
nel.—Five P.M. a brig has just cut from both
her anchors, and gone down Channel ; name un-
known.

PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 23.—1 t has blown 8 Leavy
gale all day from S. %V. to IV. N. W., hut the
outward bound ships appear to ride in safety.
Several of the outward bound float sailed yesterday
have put back, but from the state of the weather
it has been impossible to communicate with them.
The Hoop and Fortune, Ditch East Indiaman,
sailed from St. Helens this day for Amsterdam.

CoBK, Fra. I6.—Many rumours have been in
circulation through this city for these some days
past, concerning the Berwickshire Packet, which
sailed from Bristol nearly a month ago—some as-
serting that she has been lost, and others the con-
trary. We are,sorry to say that the former is the pre-
vailing opinion at present.—Lieut.-Col. Armit of
the 35th, with his wife and four children, were
passengers on board the vessel. It was said that
Colonel Carnie was also on board ; but a Gen-
tlemen from Bristol positively asserts, that to his
knowledge Lieutenant-Colonel Armit would not
suffer the Captain to take any other passengers
but himself and fam;ly, such having been his
agreement. It is, therefore, highly probable. that
the Colonel did not sail in the Berwickshire.—
The report of the removal of Major• General
Fyers from the command of the Royal Engineers,
in this country, is confirmed.

IMPOSITION.--A most impudent fraud was at-
tempted to be committed upon Sir HENRY CARR
and his Lady, relict of the late Mr. PBRCEVAL.—
lie received a letter, purporting to be written by
a poor Clergyman, of the name of Raven!croft,
who described himself as having a wife and large
family, who were in vet y distressed circum-
stances. In addition to that affliction, his mi-
sery was increased by an accident, having had
the clisfort tine to be thrown off the ()inside of the
Ilford coach, in consequence of the coach break-
ing down. One of his legs, he said, was broken.
Ile concluded his statement with soliciting their
chariiy. In confirmation of his case he enclosed
a letter he had received from Lord BINNING,
desiring his acceptance of an enclosed Bank note.
—The letter was sealed with the arms of Lord
BINNING. Sir HEINRY and Lady CARR directed
their agent to make inquiries, and to relieve the
distressed abject ; which, on being done, the
agent was of opinion he was an impostor ; and,
in consequence, Sir HENRY, and Lady, CARR
made application to Mr. Blasts, who ordered
fist t her inquiries to be made, when it was ascer-
tained that the Ilford coach had not broken
down, as the impostor had described, mcr had
Lord BtiThTING enclosed a Bank note to hint, nor
did he know any thing of the impostor ; and his
Lordship is completely at a loss even to giress
how he could ha►e obtained the impression of
his seal.

CoßoNrß's INQUF.ST —Yesterday afternoon an
Inquisition was taken in the Committee-loom,
Bridewell, before Mr. GELL, Coroner
for Westminster, on the body of Close Sleeker, a
prisoner, who died on Monday. lie was a well-
known mendietlll about the west end of the town,
and was committed on Friday last under the Va-
grant Act.---The Jury, after mature deliberation,
returned their Verdict--" Nattnal Death."

Yesterday Morning, between three and four

vented. We ate happy to bear no liTtS WIC lust,
