BRIGNTOW, iftfelenT S.

This day we were the painful witneffes of the
'ofs of the (Lip Adventure, from London to Leg.
horn, laden with porter, bale goods, &c. She
fprung a leak foon after midnight ; but it was not
till between eight and nine o'clock this morning
that the difireffing Iltuation of the Captain and
crew, who, finding every exertion to favc her ie
vain, had taken to their boat with the (hip's papers,
and what they could lave , was known.A great num-
ber of boats, together with the Cuflom•houfe cots
ter, put off to their aft' fiance, and were the happy
means of rendering them much fervice. Their
!hip was then lying on her fide, and hopes were
entertained of being able to tow her in here. In
this effort, however, (he went to the bottom.
The day was productive of another fad acci.
dent, which for a while afflicted and interened
every feeling heart. About one o'clock, Mrs.
CHAP.DSON, a Lady of rank and great beauty,
ft:pped into her curricle, at the New Inn, intend:
jog to take a ride to Worthing. Her hufband had
gone on before. The fervant who drove her, went
up North fireet by mi flake. In turning down the
fireet again, the honks, young, fpirited, and al-
ready d:fdaining the rein, fet off at full fpeed for the
Stein. The horror and confternation of all ranks
on this occafion is indefcribable. The curricle
comng in conta& with the polls at the corner of
Ca ftle-fquare, demoli(hed two of them, and was pro-
jetted upwards with great violence, in confequence
of which the Lady and fervant were thrown out and
dallied upon the pavement. Faint and bleeding,
fhe was carried to the Cattle Inn, where medical
Alliance being obtained, fhe is now in a fair way
of recovery, having only received a fmall wound
in that part of the head, which is incircled by the
comb, to which indeed the contufion is in force
meafure attributed.

The fervent was not quite fo fortunate, as he it
dreadfully lacerated ; and it is yet doubtful, from
the great fvetlling in one of his legs, whether et
not a bone has been fraaured.

The horfes were flopped at the Callle without
doing further mifchief. One of them, it is
had never been in harnels till Saturday ; and the
fervant, unfortunately, this day placed his reins at
the cheek inflead of the curb. The curricle was
lefs damaged than could have been imagined.

The Rev. Dr. WINGFIELD is appointed Heal
Mailer of Wetlmintier School, on the Rev. Dr.
VINCENT'S being promoted to the Deanery of
Weftminlier; and the Rev. Mr. PAGE, of Chrift'a
Church, Oxford, is appointed Second Matter, in
the room of Dr. WINGFIELD.

By a letter from Yooghall, we are informed,
tliv. a few days fence a duel was fought near that
town between M. CAILEW, Efq. and a Mr. Jeco
SON, when the former was wounded in the arm.
On the ISth of June, a duel was fought on the
Je. fey thore, oppotite Philadelphia. between Capt.
Izeen, Aid-de.Canip to Genet al HAMILTON, and
a French Gentleman. Capt. 'Leen was leverely
wounded in the body by the fecond fh t, and hie
fituation is faid to be critical. The cattle of dispute
is of too delicate a nature for a Newfpaper publi.
cation.

On Tutfday night another large IA try a

fumed by fire. Seven men, who are fuppoled to be
acceffai ies in thefc diabolical proceedings, ate n
in cutlody. The country s, here Inch faCtories
are eflablitbed is now in the greateft alarm ; and
patroles of foldiers, aided by the inhabitants, do
duty the whole of the night.
