NOTICE TO MARINERS.

A Floating Light is preparing to be moored at
the North-West Spit of East Hoyle Sand Bank, in
the entrance into the port of Liverpool.' The light
will be fed, to distinguish it from all, the tights upon
the shore, and will Ix exhibited in a lanthorn hoisted
at the main-mast-head of the vessel, and will be
lighted for the first time on Wednesday, the ht of
December next. In thick and foggy weathei, either
by night or day, a bell will be kept constantlrringing,
to prevent veseels from running foul of the lightoressel.

The Betsey, TOWNSREND, from Sunderland, is on
shore on the Holderness coast, and it is doubtful
whether she wiil be got off..

The Dart, Owes, from Liverpool to Oporto, sprung
a leak off Bardey, and in going into Dublin struck
on the Dar, and received so much damage, that sbe
had four feet water in her hold. Her cargo must be
discharged.

Thursday a fishing boat, in which were two bro-
thers of the mime of -MAINS, upset near the Largs,
Glectiock, and a fine young man, ANDREW Maws,
after having sated his brother, was himself unfortu-
nately drowned. •

CORONER'S Iroatirst.e--Monday, an Inquest 'was
held at the Cannon public house. in. Hungertord-
street, on the body of Thomas Qooke, who was found
.frowned tinder ,a coal-barge, on Saturday evening,
off Hungerford-stairs. It appeared in evidence, that
the dace +sett was ordered, on Saturday morning, by
.his f other, who is a lightvrman, to take a barge, that
lay at the stairs, down to a ship off the Tower ; some
time alter hi lett his father's, the barge was found
afloat, and in the evening, at low-water, the body
was discovered tinder a coal-barge. Verdict—Acci-
dental Death.

ItRIAXRKABLII Majesty's bit MAR-
TIAL, Lieutenant Leavea, which sailed from Ply-
mouth, with dispatches and a considerable quantity
of stock for the squadron in Basque Roads, on the
13th inst. was forced back on Sunday last, after ex-
periencing a most narrow escape from destruction in
the late tempestuous weather. For three days she was
beating about; nearly in sight of the French coast,
when; as she was lying-to, about two o'clock P. M.
a most tremendous . cross-sea struck her on the lar-
board quarter, threw her on her beam-ends, and car-
tied sway her bulwark, spars, &c. In this critical
situation she remained some minutes, until by throw-
ing six of her guns overboard, together with an
im-
mense quantity of potatoes, casks, hampers, &c. by
continual bailing and pumping, she was in about an
hour cleared of the water, and enabled to stand be-
fore the wind. But this misfortune was only the pre-
lude to a greater one. In stetting for the Sound, a
wave, more than twenty feet high, in her Inain-rig-
ging, swept away her starboard quarter-deck.bulwarl,
with the jolly-boat, remainder of her spars, booms, tree.
killed the corporal of marines, threw her on her broad-
side, and completely filled her.' She was apparently
sinking, and twenty minutes elapsed before the exer-
tions of those on board had any effect, or any hope of
saving the ship could be indulged. Several of the
crew were washed off the deck, and returned again
by the sea in a half-drowned state, from which they
were recovered with the greatest difficulty. At length
the brig was lightened, and again bearing away beture
the wind, she reached Plymouth a complete wreck.
The young man on board the SALVADOR DEL Mw-
Do, at Plymouth, who declared himself the sou of the
late General MoarAtJ, has been strictly examined;
and the fabrications and falsehoods of the impostor
being clearly detected, lie was immediately drafted
on board the WARSPIIgt 74, and sent to sea. He is
a native of Germany, and was burn in Berlin.
