7'llB LATi!: GALE.

.

The books at Lloyd's, ac we stated yestei day, pre-
sented a long and melancholy list of di,asters at sea, in
consequenCe of the severe gale of Monday and Tues-
day. The losses • reported amount to nearly one hun-
dred vessels on the coast, and the n hole of the calamity
is as yet far from being ascertained. A very great
proportion of them are colliers and other coasting
vessels. We snbjoin, from the reports to Lloyd's,
and the let tern from the towns cn the coast, such parti-

cftlitts as have yet transpit ed of-the effects of the storm:
" Na.ta WHITBY, 'MONDAY EVENING, OCT. 11.—The gale has
this day beet, dreadful beyond description, end presented a shacking
spectacle to our eyes. First, whilst sitting at.dinner, a brig ran on
shore close to the Point at Mill-beck; the crew were fortunately
gut safe on shore, but the vessel is wrecked. Soon after, a schooner
ran on the rocks pear the Peak, and went aft to pieces, when no
doubt, every one on board perished. Immediately after this, a
brig attempted to run on shore near Bay, but being unable for want
of sail (her foresail being gone) to wear her, so as to come in before
!he sea. she broached broadside to, and was overwhelmed in a mo-
ment, and every one perished. A minute or two afterwards I saw
her bottom upwards, in which state she continued a few minutes,
and then sunk. After this another came on shore close to the town,
the prof which were all saved, and as the ship is on the sand,
it may pMbably be got off again. Four sail, I hear, have already
gone oh shore at-the sand at Whitby, and I fear the accounts along
the roast will be dreadful indeed, as it is thought the number of light I
ship; on their passage is very great, and the gale still continues.
Wfinver, Ocr. 12.—Wind E.N.E.--.Sunday night, it came on
hard gale of Wind from the E. with rain, which still continues
surd yesterday evening the following vessels came on shore: Chi
IWhisby • Sand --, Fortitude, 'denim; Friendship, Wilkinson;

berty, Watson,pf South Shields. Crews saved, and if the weather
moderates, the 'vessels will be got off. At Robin Hood's Bay—
WAlliatn, of Scotia Shields, Thompson, from London, in ballast.
Crew saved ; and the vessel will probably be got off. Hanbury,
Fewster, of Scartiorough, in ballast ; and Norfolk, of Dover, with
plank and bops. Crews saved; vessels much damaged. Two brigs
foundered off Robin Hood's Bay yesterday, and a vessel upset this
morning. Crews all lost. A schooner is on shore at Peak. Five
men saved, and two drowned. A boat marked' Squirrel,. of Sun-
derland; part of a small vessel, and a quantity of apples and pears,'
tame on shore at the same place. Two vessels are on shore at
Kettkoess, Port of Whitby ; names unknown.

nine miles with great freedom in the first hour, and he reached
Slough (twenty miles) ate quieter past eight o' clock, fresh and well,
leaving himself nearly an hour, after drinking some brandy and
grater. to accomplish the remaining slit miles in. Ile won it ea• y,
with four minutes to spare, mid offered to do it back again in anotbee

WRESTLING.

Wednesday, the match between Moyle and Savage, for ten
pounds, took place near the Sluice-house, in the neighbourhood of
Green Lanes, Stoke Newington, about five miles from town. The
agreement—the first three fair throws—minute time.
Both the men are known in the P. C. Moyle is a Cornish man,
and Savage a Welshman—Moyle somewhat the heaviest, but Sa.
vage had youth on his side. At three o'clock the men ent.red
square plot of ground that was railed round, attended each by a
second—Moyle the favourite.
In the first close there appeared to be little advantage on either
side for two minutes, but in the • struggle for superiority, Savage
drove Moyle against a table, which gave him the advantage; and
he threw his man, although there were some doubts as to the fair.
nes, of the fall.—One was given for Savage.
Second close.—Moyle came up fun of good humour, bad the ad.
vantage in closing, and threw his man cleverly In an instant.—
(lluzzas for Moyle.)—One and one.
In the 5.1 to the 6th closes the advantages varied, but Mostly
against Moyle, who was somewhat winded.
In the 7th close, Moyle threw his man very dexterously, althotiih
Savage 'hewed himself no bad general by giving an instant roll on
his side. This, however, would not do, and the umpires declared
Moyle two, Savage one.
In the Bth close both came down on their knees.
%h.—Savage tame upv.and appeared to have forgotten for the
moment that he was wrestling, by placing himself in a pugilist': at.
titude; Moyle took advintage of this in taking his hold, and gave
him a desperate throw, which was decided no fall.
loth.—Savage's jacket declared foul, which caused some dispute
and delay.
11.—A ions close and manly struggle, which ended by Moyle
throwing Savage, and most present thought it a fair fall; the on,
pires, however, differed, a long dispute took place, and it was ulti.
mately given up as no fall. But little interest was excited until el.,
seventeenth and last close; but Moyle seemed to hive benefitted
by the twenty-five minutes dispute respecting the eleventh fall, and
Savage's Welsh blood got warm, and he had lost his temper.--.
• Moyle came up cool and resolved, seized, and gave the completed
fall of the whole, and was, consequently declared the victor.
Savage's brother, who appeared to think, during the matoh, that
he could perform te part better had be to contend with Moyle, as
soon as the match was over, had two turns with his brother, and
had the.business settled in quick time, by receiving two complete
falls in as many minutes,
To finish the afternoon's sport, a race took place between two bits
of blood," and a bo-kicker, over a mile on the road. The first heat
was declared by the Judge to be a dead one, and the owner of one
of the horses, conceiving that he might have another day for another
heat, sent his horse home, but a gensesan being present, better read:
in the laws of racing, gave the other the hint that he had only to
walk over the pound to win.

APPROACH OF WINTER.
•
The sbort'ning day, the dark'ning clouds,
Iftelare th' approach of Winter near ;
The falling leaves and lifeless flow'rs
A sullen gloomy aspect wear!
In vain I listen thro' the woods,
Their pleasing melody is o'er ;
A sellers stillness reigns around,
Or ho elitrg winds tumulutous roar!
The Summer season now is past,
And all its smiling beauties fled ;
The fields have lost their gay attire,
And all their glowing charms are dead !
Sock and so transient is our bliss,
So fading are aA earthly joys,
The dazzling glories of the world,
Are all but empty glitt'ring toys!
Oh ! let us, then, direct our hearts
Tla scenes of pure delight and peace,
Where joys unfaied ever bloom,
Eztarie }crys that never cease

DIGGINGS AT POMPEII.

New diggings have lately been made in the ruins of
Pompeii, and a very beautiful host of Cicero has been
found, in good preservation.. Upon it is observable the
c/Acken pea (titer), wiUch procured him the surname
helms rendered so illustrious. It would seem that the
ancient sculptors were very accurate in making exact
resemblances.—News of Literature, 4c.
ANCIENT RELIC.
Alrent a fortnight' since, some workmen employed in
the itoptovements carrying on at Sandywell Park, the
seat of Walter Lawrence, Esq. dug up, at some distance
from the surface, a very curious relic of antiquity—being.
evidently the head ut a " bwyelt-arvan," or ancient Bri.
tith battle-axe (an engraving of which may be seen in
Meyrick's Ancient Amour.") It is about five inches in
length, one and a half in breadth in the centre, but up-
wards of three inches in the sweep of the axe, and of
nearly half an inch thickness at the most solid part. It
retains the marks of rude carving, and at the broad end
gradually slopes down to a thin sharp edge.—Chel-
tenham Chronicle.

CURE FOR THE AGUE.
Thirty years ago, a Lady had the misfortune to be
afflicted with an ague, which baffled the.attempts of the
best medical assistance of her neighbourhood for more
than two years when a stranger, 'accidentally corning
to the house, spoke with great confidence of a very
simple remedy, namely, two teaspoons-full of the best
flour of brimstone, taken in a gill of port wine, when-
ever the fit comes on, the patient going to bed imme-
diately, and wrapped up in blankets. This the Lady
was induced to try, as the remedy was innocent in its
natwe, and ao possible evil could result. The effect
was a most ptofuse perspiration, and the suppression of
the tit for that time; tWo days afterwards if came on
again, and the remedy not being resorted to, the fit had
its usual course ; again in two other days, on the symp-
toms appearing, the mixture was taken, and it not only
gave immediate relief, butnntirely removed the com-
plaint. The Lady is desirous of making the circumstance
public, fur the benefit of such as may be afflicted with
this distressing complaint; and she isrhe more induced to
do so, because sire ha', in numerous cases, recommended
the same remedy, and' has not, in the experience of SO
years, known a single failure. The first application
generally effects the cure, and few instances have oc-
curred_that required the repetition more than twice
Where wine could not be procured, the sulphur mixed
with water has been found to answer the same purpose.

The temporary stoppage of carriages, &c. over Black-
ft iars-bridge, is attended with very unpleasant circum-
stances in Cheapside, many times in the course of the
day the carriage-way being impassable from the num-
ber of carts, stages, &c. turning into Queen-street, for
the purpose of passing over Soutlswark-bridge; the
trustees of which, much to their credit, have adopted
every method to keep the avenues clear by additional
street-keepers, who use their utmost efforts for that pur-
pose. On Wednesday, it half-past two, an accident
took place at the 'corner of Queen-street, which stopped
up the thoroughfare for a long time, occasioned by a
light cart being upset at Mr. Turner's, stationer. The
horsefell with its head against the iron guard at the
corner, and lay in a senseless state for halt an hour.—
During the time some of the light-fingered gentry were
on the alert. A Lady in getting out of a chariot at the
corner of Lawrence-lane, had her reticule stolen.

Some lauds are said to be held at Broughton, near
Brig, in Lincolnshire, by the following tenure:—Every
year, on Palm Sunday, a person from Broughton comes
into the church-porch at Cantor,. having a green silk
curse, containing two shillings, and a silver lash tied at
the end of a cart-whip, which he cracks three times in
the porch. and continues there till the second lesson be-
gins, when he goes into the church, arid cracks it three
times over the Clergyman's head, and kneeling before
him during the reading of the lesson, he presents the
Minister with the purse, and then goes into the choir,
and continues there daring the•rest of the service.

• SKETCHES OF SOCIETY. •
(From the4,ifeeses Coaser). • •
Second-him, heart-him 1 Why, aye, Mr. Editor,. I
sees you understand the lamed lingoes ; though, for
the matter o that, there Was a whole cargo of crinkum-
crankums in the same Gazette: you call it Greek, and
mayhap its all ship-shape; for I don't know much about
talking short•hand, only it looks comical to me bow
vcople can get such crooked letters into their_ mooch.
But sailors know a little about langunes too. Why, I'
remembers Jem Scupperplug, when he was carpenter's
mate of a man-of-war brig; on the coast of Brazil, and
they sprung their main-yard. Well, d'ye see, they an-
chored at a small town, and the Captain inquired if
there was anybody that could palaver Portuguese? and
so .km offers his sarvices, and the Captain took him
ashore to the mast-maker of the place. " Ho! Seiga
nor !" says Jem, " You must humble-cum-stumble we
want a roundem-come-squarem to make a main-yardo
for de English hi d'ye hear?"—" No enemies,
Seignnr, (replied the Portuguese), no entenclez."—" Wlsat
does he say, Jem ?" (axed the Skipper)-4, Says, Sir!'
why, he says lie carnt make it these ten days."—" Does
he? well, then, come along ; we must go to sea as we
are, and fish it aboard."—But you'll say, what has all
this to do with the Barge's Crew ; steer a straight
course, and don't yaw about to every point of the com-
pass, like a Dutchman. All in good time, Mr. Editor,
don't get in a passion, I'm only trying my trim; for, of
all my consarns, I loved the Barge the best, particularly
when I pulled the stroke-oar, and Nelsons flag was
flying in the bows, though he didn't live to carry it
without the balls: I was with hint that 'ere time up the
Mediterranean, when poor Carraciolli was executed
through the cruelty and intrigues of Lady —. That's,
a distressing story, and some day, when I'm in the
mood, I'll tell you all about it ; for I never shall forget
seeing the old mail, with his grey locks flowing over
his shoulders, as he hung at the fore-yard arm of the
Neapolitan frigate.—" It is an awful spectacle (whis-
pered Ned Kentledge, as be bent down to bis oar), and
I never believed before that woman's heart could exult
in such a scene."—Poer Ned was a worthy fellow, he
had the next thwart to me ; Sllll Spritsail was along-
side of him, for we pulled double-banked. Ned was
shipmate with Jack G—, that was afterwards first
Lieutenant of the C— frigate ; indeed, Ned taught
him his duty from first to last, when he ,warnt much
higher than a pint pot—shewed him how to hand, reef,
and steer—sweep, swab, and swear-'-coil away a cable,
or clear hawse, with any hand aboard; and Ned was
as good a seaman as ever raised a mouse upon a stay,
or siesed a breeching to a ring-bolt,
Well, Jack was a smart fellow, and so he got pro.
moted to the quarter-deck ; and after a times the Cap-
tain got a lull-tackle to bear, and bowsed out a com-
mission for him; but he never forgot his old station ;
his promotion didn't spoil him,. and he always remem-
bered former messmatev. When he got to be first Lieu-
tenant of the C—, she was a long time, in Ingee; but
at last they found her in such a rattle-trap state, that
She was ordered to take convoy to England; and so
she gather'd 'em together at Ceylon, and proceeded to
St. Helena ; but the storms off the Cape shook her
ould timbers, that when they reached the Island, every
body thought she would have gone doein ; however,
they frapped her together with hawsers, and at last
reached Plymouth. Welt, a morning or tsko after their
arrival, an ould bum-boat woman comes padinieg along-
-side, puffing and blowing like a grampus off Cape
'Horn. She was a 'short bulky hotly; though for the
matter o' that, she was as round as a tun butt. Along-
side she comes, and hails the sentry at the goingway
" Keep offl (cried the marine, and then turning to-the
Quarter-master,)—Zoonds I look 'there, did you ever
see such a corporal subs-tenter:l—go Aye, aye, (rejoined
'the veteran), 'tis a whale adrift in a butter-boat"—
Again the old girl hailed, " Is my Jack aboard r—
s• Your Jack, (replied the sentry), who the botheration's
your Jack ?—we are all Jack's here." " No, you arnt,
(says she), for you're a pike; and so, please to answer
,the question I axed you, or else my Jack'll let you
know who's who." Here, Master-at-arms, (he-
chuckle-ated the royal), here's a customer for you, she's,
too sharp for me."—" What do you want, old do-man?
(enquired the latter); do you want any one in this
ship r—.. Yes; I wants my Jack, so you let him know
I'm here."—The Captain, and nearly the whole of the
Officers were walking the quarter-deck, when the first
Lieutenant, hearing a confusion at the gangway, came
forward to see what the bobbery was—" What's this
noise, here, sentry; who's that alongside 7'—" I don't.
know, Sir ; its some old girl says she wants her Jack."
The Lieutenant looked over into the boat; but no
sooner had he cotched sight of the little punchy dame,
than die man-ropes slid through his hand, and down he
,dumped into the cockle-shell—" What, my mother, ii
at vou ? (cried he), I can hardly believe my eyes; they
told me you were all dead ' • this is indeed a welcome
surprise; but come along, old Lady, mount-a-reeveo"
—and he helped her up the side with the utmost care
'and attention. As soon as they had reached the deck,
she threw her arms round the Lieutenant's neck, and
sobbed with joy. Then she gazed at him with a mo.:
ther's pride, and again folded him to her heart—" Oh!
my Jack, my Jack ; now you glad my ould heart, and
I shall follow your poor father to the grave in peace."
The Captain, Officers, and' met,' stared with astonish-
ment to see the round little personage, in her striped
'cotton jacket, short thick petticoats, and high heeled
ifshoes, hugging their first Lieutenant (dressed in full,
uniform) round the neck ; and many began to laugh ;1
but the working of nature cannot be Suppressed ; the
Lieutenant felt it no disgrace to he born of honest,
though poor parents ; and the rich feeling of filial love
flowed without restraint. That moment was, perhaps,
one of the happiest of his life. He only thought of his
mother, and repaid her celestes with interest. The
scene was truly affecting. The rising laugh was en-
tirely subdued, and many a furrowed cheek was moist-
ened by a tear. It taught a useful lesson to the-young
Officers, who witnessed the age:dn.:ate emotion of the
patent, and the dutiful conduct of the son. Peace be
to- their memory. The diamond will sparkle, however
roughly set ; and if to snatch from oblivion one ex-
ample worthy of imitation be meritorious—but there,,
us only my duty, arid I arnt much skilled in simper-
thetics. The Lieutenant was worthy of his teacher,
for never was there a nobler soul than Necrie HeAtteri
a great favourite with Nelson (and died in the Ark-tory
on tile self-same day), though the hero was more at-
tached to Sykes than any of us, and mayhap be de
served it. AN OLD SAILOR.

ADELPHI THEATRE.
• . .
This Theatre commenced its, winter campaign last
night, under very favourable auspices. As is usual with
every place of public amusement in the present day, it
has " undergone various alterations during the recess,"
and, as is not usual, many of those alterations are "im-
provements." The
,Piece selected for the commence-
ment was a grand melodramatic spectacle, called Val-
mondi ; or, Me Unhallowed Sephlchre. It is (to use the
langu:ige of the bills) " intended to gratify the ruling
taste of the day," and is, therefore, quite in the 44 Der
Fteischutz" 'style, with a very full portion of " incanta-
tions," " invocations," " apparitions," and " visions of
terror." The main incidents of this Piece turn upon the
well-known story of the man who is gifted with immor-
tality, and who naturally enough gets more than dis.
gusted with the load of life which he can never lay
down. The Demon whom he worships, and by whom
this immortality has been conferred, will not release
his unhappy votary from the pains of a never-end-
ing life, unless lie procures soine other, who is willing
to take the barden upon him on the same condition,
that of yielding himself entirely to the Demon's power.
This person, after a long search, he finds in Volntonde, a
Nobleman who has been ruined by his own extrava-
gance. After a long struggle, he succeeds in persuading
the despairing Lord, now with his family reduced to a
state of starvation, to accept eternal life on the
prescribed conditions. The possession of unbounded
wealth succeeds, bur, like all who procure wealth
by wicked means, lie finds himself incapable of pro.
curing happiness, and, after a giddy round of dissipa-
tion and crime, he is at length wholly delivered up to
the power of the demon to whom he had bartered his
liberty and innocence. This is but a brief outline of
the piece. The scenery is magnificent and costly, and
the music very fine, particularly the invocation. We
have no doubt that this drama will be very attractive,
and, experiencing a long run, repay the Proprietor for
the expense he has been at in getting it up; but the
performance must be curtailed. It was not over till
a quarter to twelve, too late by. nearly two hours. The
company is a very respectable one. The House was
crowded in all its parts before the rising of the curtain,
a very good augury towards a successful season.
