YARMOUTH ISLF. OF WIGHT NOVEMBER Qs.

Captain Mazin, of the Nicolas, arrived at Cowes, re-
ports having passed a ship bottom upwards yesterday,
and a brig dismasted, apparently an American. The
papers of the Sally sloop, Match, horn Cherbourg,
dated the 22,1 inst. have been picked up; also a boat's
stern, marked " John Dow" (remainder effaced), and
Neptune. of London," a dog kennel, and a handspike,
marked " Neptune." The damage done to this putt is
very considerable; the whole of the vessels belonging
to it were driven away, and great part of the quay de-
molished. The tide was higher than ever remembered ;
and it is remarkable, that the tide at low water was
higher than many tides at high water.
A meeting was held at file Guildhall, Plymouth, at
)2 o'clock on Wednesday, for the purposz of enter ing
into a subscription for the immediate relief of the but-
ferers from the storms. Notwithstanding the short no-
tice, the attendance was numerous, and the sum of 801.
was immediately subscribed. Among those present at
the above meeting was the Bishop of Barbidoes, who
subscribed liberally.

At Weymouth, the hurricane was dreadful beyond
description, the whole of that beautiful promenade the
Esplanade, is completely washed away, and the inhabi-
tants of the houses facing the sea, were obliged to seek
shelter elsewhere, as the waves beat up past the seconJ
story. The scene of moving the furniture, the wi:id
howling and the sea running mountains high, was made
complete by the alarm of fire, which seemed inclined to
finish that destruction to the town the sea had spared,
fortunately only two houses were burnt down, near the
late King's statue. Many families have left the town,
fearing a repetition of such a miserable scene. We un-
derstand that several wrecks were seen in the neigh-
bouring bays.

INUNDATIONS ON THE CONTMENT.

HAMBURGH, NOVEMBER is.

The accounts of the inundations in various parts of
Germany continue to be very melancholy. Though
we have not had such destructive inundations in our
city, yet we have had, this month, continued rough and
stormy weather, and very high goods, such as we have
not expe:ienced for these 30 gems. On the 3.1 icsrAnt
the water rose to the height of 17 feet 9 inches, and on
the 15th instant, io that of 19 feet 3 inches, by which
a great part of the city was laid under water. Hap-
pily they both happened in the day time, and the da-
mage was not considerable; but in the islands in the
Elbe very great damage has been caused, especially by
the giving way of the dikes.

HAARLEM, NOVEMBER 22.
The news received to-day from the Lower Rivet
state the water to -have fallen three inches at Vianen,
and tive and a half at the Grebbe. The accounts from
the Upper livers are more favourable. These account
are the more agreeable to the inhabitants of a great part
of Holland and Uztecht, because, though we are now
assured that there is no immediate fear for the north

dike of the Lek, it must be owned that a continuance
of the high flood might be attended with ruinous con-
sequences. A breach in" this dike would cause the
water to overflow the crack of land betwvel the Donne
on the sea-coast; the Rhine, the hills of A merlOor r, and
the Y. The consequences of.which may be appreciated,
when we say that the water in the Lek is now, at
Wykly-Durnstede, twenty-six or twenty-seven feet
higher than the u3.ual water level at Amsterdam, and
from forty to fifty higher than the watermark in many-
of the drained marshes. There is every reason to hope
that the water will continue to fall, and that part of the
country, and the city of Amsterdam, be saved from so
great a misfortune.
WALTSBUIIG, NOVEIIIIIF.R 17.
The day before yesterday, at 8 o'clock in the morn-
ing, the Maine rose to the height tf 11 feet 9 inches;
yesterday afternon it fell half a foot; during last
night it continued to rise, and miv now have attained
the height of 20 or 22 feet. All the lower parts of the
town are under water, aad are passable only in boats.
It is said there has been a water spout near Nuremberg.
The town of Weiss.enshurg, in Germany, was above
hall burnt down on the night of the 10th inst.
