SPANISH Root.—The excessive increase in th,
price of this Article every one is complaining us.;
tew, it is believed, are aware that monopoly by a
horde of rich Speculators, and not real scarcity in
the commodity itself, is the true cause of the evil, for
an evil it certainly is, while men must wear coats.—
These leeches, like others of their bloodsucking Ire-
thren, taking advantage of the present alarm of r.c.
more Wool from Spain, sell at what price they please
to the Manufacturer, and he again to the Draper, so
they contrive to fleece the Public, till poor John Bull
is in danger of becoming a Sant Culotte.

•TIIR LAT? Ist:goarioN.—A letter from Exeter,
dated January 25, says---44 The continued fall of snow
which we have experienced for some time past, occa.
sioned the waters of the river Exe to rise to a most
tremendous height. The parish of St. Thomas the
Apostle, the Exe Island, and the lands adjoining,
were completely inundated. In the afternoon of
yesterday, the streets in St. Thomas's exhibited a most
melancholy appearance, the shops were shut, being
full of water, and the inhabitants obliged to betake
themselves to their upper rooms ; at this time trees,
field gates, wrecks of various descriptions, and a num-
ber of sheep, were borne away by the rapidity of the
current. At four o'clock this morning the water at-
tained its greatest height, which appears to have beefi,
about two inches higher than the memorable inunda-
tion in the year 1800. The tenter racks in the Bon.
hay and Maley were completely covered, and many
of them carried away, with the pieces in them. The
great losses sustained by various individuals, which,
have already come to our knowledge, are truly dit-
tressing ; Mr. BAKER, farmer of Exminster, lost 40
sheep ; many others, situated on the banks of the river,
have suffered severely. Fenniton brOge, on the great
road between this city and Hcniton `lately erected)
is entirely carried away ; the centre arch on the main
river at Cowley bridge, has fallen in ; and Bickieigh
bridge is so damaged, as to render the road to Tiver-
ton impassable.
4, In the town of Thorverton, a brook of water rose in
a manner unprecedented, and threw down a cob wall;
the obstruction which this circumstance created, occa-
sioned so sudden a swell, that the house of Mr. AN-
THONY, surgeon, was instantly overwhelmed, the water
ascending to the first landing-place in the stair-case.---
The family were assisted out of the windows at mid-
night—the horses were with difficulty saved—a dog was
drowned in the stable—rand one-half of the dwelling-
house was completely washed away. The Falmouth
mail-coach, which ought to have arrived last night,
came in at a quarter past four this afternoon. The
Chulmleigh-post arrived about the same time, bring-
ing only the Chulmleigh and Crediton bags ; the
Barnstaple, and others, in consequence of the inun-
dated state of the roads, not having been received."
EARTIIQUARE.—A shock of an earthquake was felt
at Dunning, in Perthshire, on the 18th instant, about
two o'cicitk A.M. Mr. Pavan MARTIN, surgeon, in
Dunning, gives the following description of it :—He
was coming home at the time on horseback, when
hisnttention was suddenly attracted by a seemingly
subterraneous noise, and his horse immediately stop-
ping, he perceived the sound to proceed from the
north-west. After contiuuiag for about the space of
half a minute, it became louder and louder, and ap-
parently nearer, when, all on a sudden, the earth
gave a perpendicular heave, and, with a tremulous
waving motion, seemed to roll or move in a south-
east direction. The noise was greater during the
shock than before it, and for some seconds atter it
was so loud, that it made the circumjacent moun-
tains re-echo with the sound, after which, in the course
of about half a minute, it gradually died away. At
this time, the atmosphere was calm, dense and cloudy,
and for some hours before and after there was not the
least motion in the air. Fahrenheit's thermometer,
when examined, about half an hour after the shock,
indicated a temperature of 15 degrees below the freez-
ing point of water, The preceding day was calm
and cloudy ; thermometer, eight A. M. 14. eight
P. M. 13. The morning of the 18th was calm and
cloudy, but the day broke up to sun-shine ; thermo-
meter, eight A. M. 19. eight P. M. 16. This was a
greater shock than that felt at the same place on the
9th of September, about six A M. several years ago►
and had it been succeeded by another equally vio-
lent, it must have damaged the houses, but fortu-
nately we have heard of no harm being done.
