Friday ever,ing as five Portuguese sailors were in a
boat in Long Reach, near Gravesend, going on board
a ship, a strong gust of wind sprung up, which upset
the boat, by which three of the crew were drowned ;
the other two were saved by a fishing smack, which
put them on board their ship.
A few days since, Sir ANDREW FERGUSON, return-
ing homeward after having dined in the neighbour-
hood of Derry, and driving with incautious rapidity
over a bridge wanting some repairs, the vehicle was
unfortunately overturned, and Sir ANDREW precipi-
tated from it with such fatal violence, that he lived
but till his arrival at his own residence. His son, by
whom be was accompapied in the carriage, escaped
without injury. .

Saturday morning. soon after the first division of
the North York Maitia left Cranbrook, Lieutenant
Clarkson, of that regirent, mounted his horse for
the purpose of proceeding to Maidstone, but Lad not
rode far, when the animal took fright, Ind set off at
full speed. Lieutenant Clarkson soon lost his seat,
and his foot unfortunately hanging in the stirrup, he
was dragged nearly three miles along the road, and
was so miserably mangled, that there is not the least
hopes of recovery.

As the coach which runs from Tunbride to Lon-
don was on its journey, on Ftiday last, with a great
many passengers, the leaders took fright at a dog
which jumped over a hedge at the moment they were
passing. The animals immediately set off at full'
speed ; and the coachman, who was also the proprie-
tor, and had driteu the stage for 15 years, broke the
reitis in endeavouring to restrain the impetuosity of
his horses; they ran at random for a considerable-
distance,whenthe coach overturned, with violence, and
was dashed to pieces. Many of the passengers were
very intich injured, several with fractured limbs ; and
the coachman, in endeavouring to extricate the horses
from their harness, received a violent kick from one
of them which killed him on the spot. The rest of
the persons who were injured, having been taken
care Of, are in a fair way of doing well.
Yesterday being the adjourned day of the West-
minster Se4sionsi some accounts were delivered in and

TIATERN ABBET, ATONMOUTI7SHIRE,

JULY 12.

The beauty of this ruin having long been noticed:
as an object of attention to the visitor in this county, I
availed myself of the fineness of a day last week, and:
descended the Wye from Monmouth in a boat for that
purpose; whose sinuous course playing through such a
district of rich scenery, was an ifitroductiod to the fea-
ture of my voyage of t'le most pleasing natrre. On
entering the Abbey, all that descriptioa had painted
of this enchanting pile, came very far short of the
effects it produced upon my mind, in surveying its
hallowed walls. Fortunately I had chosen a tithe for
the excursion, when the spot was rensiered more inte-
resting by the company as.semriled. In ode part were
a groupe of Ladies and Gentlemen, with a table-cloth
spread on the green velvet, enjoying a neon day re-
past, the females seawd on the buttresses of the ancient
pillars. In chosen points were men of taste, commit-
ting its ruined scenery to fame by means of the pen-
cil. In the choir, were elegant women walking at
ease, or seated on its ruins, contemplating the beauty
of the objects which surrounded them ; while, in the
north transept, were a convivial party enjoying a lux-
urious dinner. With one of these parties were some
gentlemen who performed extremely well on the Ger-
man flute, whose soft and dulcet sounds were occa-
sionally relieved by the grand notes of the bugle-horn,
sounded from another part of the venerable pile. The
evening was all that could be wished to crown such
pleasures ; it being the full of the moon, whose in-
fluence was rendered inimitably fine, by her beams
gleaming through the rich gothic windows, mantled
with ivy, on the southern walls of this magnificent
ruin.

One of our royal Generals has had such a difference
with his Agents, that he has withdrawn from them
his regiment, consisting of five battalions.

About one o'clock, on Sunday, the atmosphere
over this metropolis became suddenly overcast with
clouds, which soon burst in a torrent. There was
not a breath of wind, and the rain fell perpendicu-
larly in a dense shower. The drops of water, were,
many of them, as large as the largess pears. It did not
continue longer than half an hour, and yet the rain
in that short time had descended in so great a quan-
tity, the cellars in many parts of the town were filled;'
the streets in many places became impassable to peo-
ple on foot ; and some were so completely flooded,
as to have all the appearance of a river. About four
o'clock the rain began to descend again, but in gentle
showers.

During the heavy storm of rain on Sunday, as a
large party were going through Chelsea-reach, 'the
four gentlemen who were rowing rose up suddenly to
put on their clothes, and the ladies shifting their seats
at the same time, two of the gentlemen fell over-
board ; one was immediately picked up, but the other
was drowned, and the body was not found till yester-
day morning.
A most tremendous storm of rain, thunder and
lightning, from the southward to the cast, burst over
Newington and Walworil, yesterday morning about
half past nine o'clock, the effects of which were se-
verely felt. A tire-ball entered the house of Mrs.
Milton, who keeps a milk and fruit shop in Crown-
street, Walworth, by the chimney, and. running down
in a slanting direction, shivered tie glass and frames
of the windows, and exploded in the room where
Mrs. Milton was sitting, .who was struck motionless;
two medical Gentlemen immediately attended, and by
their assistance the use of one side was, in a great
measure, restored ; the other remains in a torpid
state, as if from a paralytic stroke. What adds to
the tnisfertune is, that the poor woman is very far ad.
vanced in pregnancy, and it is feared that a prema-
ture parturiticn be the consequence.
A singular I.lenctnenon occurred at Dover. on
Thursday m bev....(;m seven and eight o'clock,
the water being at the time_near low water mark ;
the tide ebbed and Rowed three times in an hour, at
one time rose to the height of two feet ; at the same
time a great rumbling noise was heard. The inha-
bitants are totally at a loss to account for this, but
abOut forty years since a case nearly similar took
place, which was then thought to be in consequence of
In-earthquake.

Sax—ln your truly impartial and patriotic Pa7ter
of a few days back, you very opportunely hinted at
the propriety of subscriptions being . pened in vari-
ous parts of the United Empire, for the service of the
Spanish Patriots; and have very judiciously given for
your reason for adopting such a measure,. the decep.
don under which the people cf the Continent lie, in
respect to the actual state of the British public mind.
So far, Sir, your recommendation deserves the
.praise of every. Briton, whether followed or not.

It is the universal sentiment of sympathy and ad-
miration we feel for these brave and generous men,
:1 I. understood you right, Mr. Editor, that you
chiefly intend should be expressed leaving the main
:rapport in men, money, &c. to the munificence of
le English Goyernment. I would now, Sir, wish
to call your attention to another subject of st;lfgrea-
tn. importance than the opening of subscriptions for
the Spanish Patriots, and which, in my mind, should
never be lost sight cf for a single mt ment—l allude
to the loyalists of France.
That a very great majority of this enslaved nation
are.panting for a favourable opportunity to throw off
the .Corsican yoke, no man can doubt, in the smallest
degree acquainted with the privations. and oppres-
sion and misery endured by this once flourishing, in.
genious, and industrtotts people. Let us then be
tlert, and watch the favourable moment, and stand
ready prepared to seize it, when a disposition in the
maritime provinces of France is unequivocally and
generally demonstrated, to decide finally their choice,
whether in favour of an upstart, and ferocious and
remorseless usurper, or a legitimate, mild, and ami-
able. Sovereign. I speak explicitly and particularly
on such an occasion, wishing not to be misunderstood.
I would dictate to no nation on earth who they arc
to choose for their chief, or under what form of Go.
vcrument they are to live ; but in the present state of
fallen Europe (with life-blood enough, however, still
left, it is to be hoped, to assert and maintain the dig-
nity of degraded human nature), let England be con-
sistent with herself, and be ready prepared to give to
France, as she is now affording to Spain, an opportu-
nity to vindicate her character, and lend her assist-
ance not only to France, but to every enthralled
people, to hurl the Corsican Usurpers from their blood-
stained thrones. The crisis which is to decide the
fate of the whole civilized world seems arriving, and
the writer of this hasty effusion would fain call, in a
strain so loud as should vibrate upon the ears and
hearts of the palzied and prostrate nations, " To
awake, or be for ever fallen :"—rouse them to a
sense of their mutual and irreversible misery, unless
by one grand, one joint•effort, they even now, while
time and the hour offers, rescue themselves and their
posterity from the fangs of despoilers, who have do.
mineered too long already over the insulted earth !
Let us then hail the present auspicious dawn, and
trust that it will once again usher in the day of legiti.
mate rule and lawful Government ; and believe that
the hour is- at hand when the flag of Louis XVIII.
shall be unfurled in the plains of France, as that of
FERDINAND VII. is now victoriously displayed in the
mountains of Spain. All virtue is not yet extinct in
France; and the tide of fortune, which the Usurper
has so long commanded, may at length turn against
him. His flood seeots past, and a rapid ebb may
hurry him down the stream, To bottom ess perdi-
dition." A CONSTANT READER.

The Duke of KENT has presented her Mitsr.rnt

The -anniversivt of the memorable battle of Ems-
derff, July 6, 1760, i I. which a strong divi .ion of the
French army was totally defeated, and. 3000 prisoners,
nine pair of cololirs, and six pieces of cannon, were
taken by the 15th ( King's) Light Dragoons, was
celebrated by the detachment of that Regiment, sta-
tioned at Noiw:ch, on Saturday se'nnight.
The first stone of the Sutton Courtney bridge,
erected over the Thames, near Abingdon, was laid
on the 16th instant by Master J. T. JUSTICE, eldest
son of FRANCIS JUSTICE, Esq. of Abbey-house.
At Stoke, in Buckinghamshire, a few days since, a
man of the name of RAYMAN, belonging to the Chalk
Pits, being in liquor, slipped from the surface to the
bottom, the depth of 60 feet, and pitched tTon a heap
of fine loose chalk ; he received very little minty he
was brought to the surface, and taken to a surgeon,
lest he should have internal bruises. A similar acci-
dent happened to a man named Wit.t,ET, about five
months ago, in the same pits, when his dog followed
him, where they lived for three days and nights,
without water or food. Some men going down to
work, released them from their perilous situation, and
the man did well afterwards, but the dog died through
the long abstinent: he had undergone.
On Sunday last George Wood, a Police Officer be-
' longing to Hatton Garden Police Office, did public
penance at St. Andrew's Church, Holborn, in pur-
suance of the sentence of the Ecclesiastical Court,
for having slanderously and shamefully traduced and
vilified the character of a virtuous young woman,
natri•!cl Elizabeth Gibbs, at the Royal Oak public-
house, near Hattori Garden, in calling her by the op-
probrions appellation of a wh—e.
A dispute has taken place between the Minister and
Churchwardens of the parish church of ,St. Alban,
WoOd-street, respecting the right of burial in certain
parts of the church. The Minister claims the whole
interior. The Churchwardens insist that only the
Communion and.chancel belong to hint.; The con-
sequence was, that' when the remains of Mr. Mote.
?AIN, the late Proprietor of the Saracen's Head Inn,
were taken inside the church for the purpose of burial,
an understanding having been previously.entered into
with the Churchwaidens for 'that purpose, the Mi-
nister refused to officiate, and the corpse was kept
till another Clergyman could be sent for to perform
'the funeral service. This occupied the space of half an
hour, when the Rev. Mr. C,LARKII, one of Ile Mince
Canons of St. Paul's, committed the body to its last
abode. This misunderstanding is likely to become a
matter of legal investigation, both parties being reso-
lute in what they consider their right.
