company with the Gambier, when about five or siz
leagues from the Start fell in with a French privateer
that boarded the Gambier, but she having only bal-
last in, was suffered to proceed. The privateer was
quite new. On Friday last the Pilots at Cawsand
,discovered a Swedish brig near the Eddystone, with
a flag for a Pilot, when two or three boats immedi-
ately put off, but when they approached within about
two miles they saw a large armed brig board her,
which they supposed to be a French privateer, as the
Swedish ship hove about and stood to sea. A con-
voy of ten sail left here the same day for the Downs,

lancholy accounts, as well among the shipping as on
shore. One fatal accident we have already heard of,
and from the quantity of tiles, chimney-pots, &c.
blown down, we are apprehensive it will prove only
a prelude to many others :—A lamplighter, named
Burke, many years in the employ of Mr. Patrick, of
Newgate-street, who was lighting the lamps on the
East side of Blackfriars bridge, was, by a sudden
gust, blown into the River, in presence of his son, a
child of ten years old, and, before assistance could be
procured, sunk to rise no more. During the storm,
part of the roof of the elegant villa at Putney, in- ,
habited by Madame CHEUY, was unroofed by the
wind. Several persons were enveloped in the ruins,
and one person was not dug out until this morning.
We are happy to state that no lives were lost.—
