Abirut five o'clock on the morning of C:e 6.h inst.
a sentinel on the Anchor Wharf, Coatham, gave the
siAnal of "All's well," but at the visitation of the
next rounds he was missing, and was supposed to have
fallen over. This proved to be the ca.e, as at low
water he was discovered. The Coroner's Itigneit of

The Wo.sdbridge East ludiamsii, which has found
her safety on the main at St. Nicholas Bay, lia%

In addition to the many distressing accounts of
shipwreck and damage sustained by the late gales,
we are concerned to add the loss of three vessels
on the east side of Dungeness, in the night of Thurs-
day last. These having run for shelter into Rom-
, ney Bay, were, by the shift of wind to the opposite
point, driven on shore. The first, a Dutch galliot,
the Regina, bound from America to Ostend, with a
cargo of tobacco leaf, sassafras logs, &c. was dashed
to pieces near the Battery Number 2, and of her
uatortimate crew of ten persons, one only escaped,
much bruised. Another galliut, le-Neptune, Capt.
Arerrera, from Ostend to Lisbon, with beans, canary
seed, and bales of fur, shared a similar fate ; but by
the praiseworthy and distinguished exertions of the
inhabitants of Romney and Lydd, aided by those of
Mr. MOIttLEY, sitter, and the Custom's boats crew,
who at the greatest personal hazard, ventured amidst
the breakers, and floating wreck, the whole of the
crew were preserved except one man ; they had suc-
ceeded in getting a communication from the ship to
the shore, by throwing a rope on hoard, but bving
unable to make the sufferers comprehend its utility,
tbeir suceoa was not et oval to the Litter man. Toe
third, the sloop Friend's Increase, Captain J. How.
east), from Lori,tret to Portsmouth, with a cargo of
herrings, of the crew of which, two out of four un-
fortunately perished.

A Dosch. hoy was also wrrcked, the crew saved;
ana another hoy foundered at sea, the whole of whose
dew unhappily ['dished.
Thursday, the brig Albinis, of Yarmouth, I.►.len
with corn, and bound to London, got on the sand off
Herne Bey in a gale, mid shortly afterwards sunk,
about two miles from the shore, off Hampton. The
crew got safe on shore at Herne Bay.

There was lately found, at Balkenna burn foot,
parish of Kirkoswald, and coolly of Ayr. a bottle
seaLd with red wax, containing two sm.lll pieces of
parchment, with the I. flowing words wrote upon
them. On one piece, which !las a large seal cf black
wax, is wrote, in a good busiuo:3 hand—" Off Coni-
say, North Wales, 23d Septernbcr, 1815," and on
the other side of the same piece, wrote iu large
letters :

Purse Coraston ants Rattly, off Conhay right gaily,
" This bottle flung in.() the sea ;
" And ne'er :nay it find any one of our mind
" Less be:tlthy or happy than we I"
And on the otber piece was wrote, in, business hand :
'• It Is requested, whoever finis this bottle, w;11 make It pab•
lic in some nowsyayer, saying un what luau li. was found."
