PRIVATE PETITIONS.

Colonel ELTORD fuggefled the propriety of
c.:tending, the time prelcribed for the reception of
Private Petitions from to-morrow to-morrow fc'n-
nii,ht. This he thought necefrary from a confider-
aeon of the many Petitions which might be fimi-
larly circumflanced with one he held in his hand,
which required the fpecial recommendation of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer before it could be
prefented to the Houfe.—He moved accordingly.
The SPEAKER Paid the adoption of the motion',
propoled by the Hon. Baronet would be attended
with much inconvenience. As to Petitions of the
nature defcribed by the Hon. Baronet, he had no
doubt !that leave would be obtained to prefent
them, upon application to the Houle. Such had
been ever the praelice in fuch cafes.
Mr. ROSE fupported the Speaker's opinion.
Colonel Elford's motion not being feconded, was
not put from the Chair.
MILLS, ETC.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL role, purfuant to no-
tice, to move for leave to bring in a Bill to indem-
nify perfons who had been injured in their proper-
ty by the forcibly pulling town of mills and works
adjoining thereto by riotous mobs, and for more
effeEtually preventing fuch atrccitie4 in future.—
He Paid, that ashy the Aft of the zoth of George
111. an aftion for damages might be brought a-
gainft any hundred for injury done to any chapels
within its limits, and perfons concerned in fuch
outrages were liable to profecution for felony, it
was the objeEt of the Bill he propofed to extend the
provifions of that At to the proteftion of Mills,
Ike. He accordingly moved for leave to bring in
a Bill, which was granted.
PORT OP LONDON.

Mr. MANNING moved that a Committee should
be appointed to confider of further means for len.
dering more commodious and for the better reoi-
lation of the Port of London, and that they (hould
be at liberty to report their opinion to the Houle.
He alt.) moved, That die Report of the former
Committee on that fithjeft Mould be referred to the
faid Committee. There motions were agreed to.
Adjourned till To-morrow.

We yeflerday announced the mclanchol/ intel-
ligence of the lots of his Majefly's fhip INVINCI-
BLE, which failed from Yarmouth on Monday laft
to join the North Sea Fleet. The following are
fame farther particulars refpeaing that lamentable
catafirophe:
The INVINCIBLE firfi flruck upon the fatal hank,
between two and three in the afternoon. In this
fituation the remained gear three hours, when
the miaen•maft went by the board, and the main-
malt was immediately after cut away. The
(hip, to the infinite joy of the crew, then drop-
ped from about 3 into 17 fathom water, where
however, unfortunately lofing her rudder, (he
loon became unmanageable, and was again
driven upon the bank. A filling-fmack now
approached the wreck ; on which two boats
belonging to the INVINCIBLE were ordered out.
On board one of thefc, the Admiral, the Purfer,
four Midfhipmen, three of the Admiral's fervants,
and fix or eight feamen, reached the fifhing fmack
in fafety, as did alfo the other boat full of people.
Both of them immediately returned to the !hip,
but on re-approaching the linack, one was forced a-
way, and every perfon on board would inevitably
have periffied, had not a collier which happened to be
palling at this critical moment, happily picked
them all up. This veal afterwards afforded
every affiftance that humanity urged, or that
(he was capable of giving, and was the means
of Paving the lives of many of the crew.—The
fifliing.fmack, with the Admiral on board, being
unable to afford the leaf} Alliance to the (hip,
remained at anchor during the whole of Monday
night. On the approach of day, the Matler of this
velfel expreffed an unwillingnefs to go any nearer
the wreck; but Admiral Torrv, in dire& oppoll-
tion to him, caufed the cable to be cut, and imme.
diatel y proceeded to the (hip. Melancholy,however,
to relate, while he was doing every thing of which
human exertion is capable, to airlift the unhappy
people on board, the wreck once more got in-
to deep water, and gradually funk, to the infinite
difirefs of the Admiral and the other fpeelators,
who were nearly frantic with grief, at this tre-
mendous fcene of human rnifery and defiruetion.
While the (hip was thus rapidly going down, the
launch was hove out :—as many of the crew as
the could poffibly hold, inftantly jumped on board,
and had only time to clear the poop, when the
veffel, with upwards of 400 fouls, entirely difap-
peared, and went to the bottom. A number of
the unhappy loiterers attempted to get on board
the already over-laden launch, but as no more
could be permitted to enter, without the certain
lois of the whole, they were (truck away with the
oars, and in a fewrecands became wholly ingulph•
ed in the pitilefs waters.
Captain RENNIE, after the fhip had funk, at-
tempted to fwim to the launch, and after a revere
exertion got within reach of the oars, when cx-
haufted with fatigue, and unable to make any
farther effort, he calmly reigned himfelf to his
fate. Lifting up his hands, as if to implore the
biding of Heaven, and immediately after placing
them upon his face, he went direaly down with-
out another aruggle.
All the other commiffioned Officers of the fhip,
except Lieutenants Toe ere and (112 a sit, together
with all the Officers of Marines, ar.d moll of their
men, likewife went to the bottom.

About 7o or do of the crew were raved by
means of the launch, the whole of whom had af-
fembled upon the forecaftle ; but all thole who
remained in the poop were loft.—The total num-
ber of human beings who thus found a watery
grave, amounts to upwards of 4oc, among whom
were fever.!] paangcrs, on their way to join other
!hips belonging to the North Sca Fleet. The
number laved, including Officers, is dated at 19 s
The INVINCIBLE was one the oldeft (hips in the
Navy. She was bail; in 1766, and had not re-
turned many months from the Weft Indies, where
the had been flationed under the command of Capt.
CALFY fince 1795.

This affl:Cting difafter is attributed folely to the
ignorance of the Pilot. He belonged to Harwich,
and was taken on board at Sheernefs. Inflead of
taking the fhip through the ordinary channel from
Yarmouth, be !leered her through the narrow paf-
lege of the Cockle, and when (he ran npon the
Sands, he infiftel that the fatal fpot was not laid
down in any Chart. In this point, however,lic was
Coon confuted by the Gunner of one of the
(hips of Admiral PARKFR'S fleet, who was only
a pafrengcr on board the Imviscietr. This
man loon convinced the Pilot of his error, by
glinting him the exaet ipot diftinEtly marked.
But the pilot is among the numerous fuf-
ferev, and, in c.,mmon charit), death mull lOW
he cool:doted as having expiated all his laufts.=
the rrsizen-maR went over board, he alfo
fell from the deck, and was never after •
