SHIPWRECKS, A `. I) MARIZ4RS SAVED.

A more dreadful storm as not visited the coast
of Nortblk for atength of time, than the gale which.
cAirinued blowing from early on Friday morning
last, and on the tolloWing day ; nor one that has yt.-
hibited [wire melancholy pro,',ls of its devastation on
lives an&-pr9perty.
Earry in the rn:)rning of the former day, a small
as di:covered to be on shore' near Trim-
minghain 3. Lieut. Infield; commanding- the signal
jasranity dispatched- a.thessenger to Greiner,
fur Capt. Manby's apparatus, which,is placed there
by the Very prompt zeal of Mr. Sandfield (oneot the
managers of the Cromer life-boat) tr,e Mortar and

creW, four. in number, were sated, just belore the
vessel went into a thousand atoms ; one of them
had suffered so touch :roin'his perishing AituAi,nr,and
falling ‘xith the main-mast,, 'that the mean-, recom-
mended by (he lioyal liiimane Society were Obliged
to be had recourse Leo, to restore suspended' ant ma-

time a.large brig teas diseevered (in shore at- Munds- -
by, having ten persons on board ; Whearley,
of that place, with the same alacrity that has. on
so many siinilar occasions disrii..guiShed him, and
ho 'know Mg. well how `to feel for the distresseS

nigation be effected, froM the sea' running so very
high, it Avas,imposible 'to get a boat
,to her with,.
out such aid ; but, diuressing to relate, "bu
aril-
vat, the vessel :had gone to pieces, Gird every soul
perished.

In the course,of the day a, vessel, was - driven on

'the Haven's rnoUtn, on the tellowing, Morning, the
Elliott, bound-to, Sinelds, was stranded. Captain
Manby„ wuo ,as there, with a moliqr all ready, no
sooner it declared that it was impossible to save
Abe men . without his invention, fired a 3-inch.rope
Over the vessel, OA; brought theinall seven in nuin7
ber, in satety to land a few minutes; The shot

ried this heavy rope to a distance that excited the
astonishment of all present,_ and so firmly did it
hold on the. rigging,. that it was impossible

the storm subsiding, and then with
„much duti-
culty. • .
The numerous proofs of success that have attended
this sinc)le and certain method of savingshipwreck.
e& mariners, and' the many mclitichcly cases that
haVe occurred rrom the want of. such effeaive
meani, will,. we trust, point out the necessity of
having them placed near each other on all the. &r.-.
serous partS o! the coast. To the honour of Airs
,Loids of the Admiralty, they have stated an inten-
lioh of providing all the Signal 'Stations with, them
but it is earnestly to be hoped that every parish, on
the sea coast will adopt the. same, and unit the in-
habitants.will cheerfully contribute to so benevolent
a purpose, the cost of 'Nolo), to save the lives of
persoos from stranded Vessels, or for saving the lives,
and of property, itr vessels at a distance from the
shore, by enabling a boat go from a brach tb
their assistance, will not exceed 201. When we re-
flect. on ithe great number of our -countrymen who,
are constantly expnsed so the hazards of the sea;
when we "remember the importance of our seamen
to our comnie•cial interest' and to our national se-
curity, ought not every friend to humanity, every.
friend to his country, shew himself eager to dimin-
ish danger, and to encourage whatever means may
be most probable for affording help, in'thu hour of
difficulty and distress ?

ROISI3ERY OF A -WELCH PROVER.—Yesterday two
women; the mother and daughter, underwent an
exarnhiation at Queen-square .:'o Otfice,scharged
on suspicion of having robbed a Weretr Prover named
Jones, a few days ago, of the sum of 3 121. Ir ap-
*red that. the prisones were at• :he Swan, in Crdy-,
ford, where Jon 6 on his return from Maidstone,
went into the public-hous'e, to take -some refresh-
ment, and whilst he was tnere he unfortunately fell
asleep in the. tap-room,
,during which he was rob-
bed of Bank of England and Provincial Country
Bank iNotei, payable in town, amounting to the
above sum. InforMation of this robbery having
come to the knowledge of Silmore, the officer, and
a description. of the prisoners, a, search was imme-
diately made to discover their abode and apprehend
them. Having triaged them into the city, he suc-
ceeded in' detecting them whilst they were,stepping;
into a hackney coach, at' the door bf a banking
house, where they had been to receive some of the,
Provincial Country Bank Notes, and on searching
them found 2001. which they had been then getting
cash for. The prisoners are committed fOr a further,
hearing.

.days since Goff, the Officer,'
belonging to Lawn Hall, being in pursuit of a de-,
serter, of whom he had received' information, he:
went to a house in the Maize, Tooley-street, where
he bad reason to-believe the soldier was concealed.
On arriving there he folind the house deserted of its
inmates,' but on searching it he fouiids concealed. in
a closet a complete ,apparatus for coining, together
with a considerable number of dollars; shillings;and,
sixpences, in a finished and uufiuishedstate : those
finished are' so well .executed that it was difficult: to
astir:vigil them from good ones. The Officers
have .obtained information of ,the parties engaged in
this nefarious practice, and are at'present in pursuit
of them, - •

An increased influx-Of company is now daily no-
'ticed in Skinner andTickett-streets. "The attraction
is clearly to view the -twenty-five new and noble
houses which are's6 speedily to be. obtained, at the
trifling risk only for each of 81. 153. in the great
City Lottery; NiAliCh will begin drawing 4th of next
month, in Guildhall.' They undoubtedly stand for
trade, in two of the most enviable situations in the
British metropolis.`
