some very essential changes in the system practiied by
that country towards the British merchants, the results
of which would be very beneficial to our trade.
The accounts from the lately disturbed districts of
Jamaica, which are up to the loth of September, are,
we are happy to learn, favourable. Tranquillity and
obedience reigned amongst the Slave population. One
of the ringleaders in the late revolt, who was to have
acted as second in command, has been unconditionally
pardoned, at the intercession of his master, Mr. MAL-
COLM. We regret to learn, that the estates about Mon-
tego Bay had suffered cansiderably from dry weather.
Fine rains had, however, set in on the 6th of September.
The respectable and very numerous body of Solicitors
in Sunderland and the neighbourhood, have lately

beral practice,and for preventing abuses in the profession:

STORM AT LIVERFOOL.—Tuesday last, after a morn-
ing comparatively mild, a storm of wind and rain was
experienced, which, between 11 and 12, rose nearly to
a hurricane. The wind was from the west, and swept
over the town with great violence for nearly an hour.
It was so sudden, that, though of short duration, several
lives, it is ascertained, were lost on the river, and we
fear that we may yet hear of more calamities than we
,have been able to collect. The Fox, Manchester Old
Quay Company's flat, was upset between Halehead and
Ince—it is supposed in consequence of having grounded
on a bank„ and being thus exposed to the united fury
of the wind and tide. The crew consisted of three in-
dividuals ; all perished ; and the hull of the vessel was
driven up as far as Runcorn. Another flat, belonging
to the Duke's Company, was sunk in the deep of the
middle passage, between Hale and Ince, and her crew
of three persons, it is supposed) also perished. A boat;
belonging to William Gin foundered outside of the rock
two men drowned, one of them named Cole, and two
saved. An American ship, with timber, was also',
stranded above the Queen's.clock. A gig, with several
hands, is also missing. A schooner was driven on shore
on the Score-bank, opposite Halehead ; and a Welsh
sloop called the Rose was sunk : crews saved. Several
other vessels went on shore at and near Ince, amongst
which was another of the Duke's flats, the master of
which, it is feared, was drowned. A boat belonging
to John Clements, a King's-dock boatman, who attended
to the watering of vessels, kc. was lost ; himself and
three others perished. Several vessels were injured in
the docks, by being driven against each other. It is
remarkable, that this gale, or rather sudden and destruc-
tive gust, was escaped, so far as we can learn, by the
vessels- immediately opposite the town, but was felt in
its full fury higher up the river. Had it occurred dur-
ing the night, we should probably have had many more
distressing accidents to record.—Liverpool Mercury.
A rather extraordinary circumstance occurred on
Sunday week, at a village in the eastern part of the
county of Warwick. A young couple presented them-
selves to be joined in the holy bands of matrimony.
Every preparation was made without delay. The cere-
mony commenced, and proceeded without interruption
'as far as that part where the man puts the ring on the
woman's finger, and says," With this ring I thee wed,"
&c. In pronouncing tithe words, the bridegroom
chanced to smile on his beloved, which was spurned
with the same gentleness by the fair one. The clergyman
became indignant; he immediately threw off his sur-
plice, and left the altar in haste. Every intercession
with the worthy pastor to proceed with the Service w as
in vain : and the young couple left the Church, appa-
rently in the deepest distress.
