Wm-mm.lm SEPT. 26.—The Autumnal tqui-
nox of the present year has proved eminently disas-
trous in a variety (f instances, the detail o 4 which is
truly afflicting. The following, we are sorry to say,
is merely a sketch of the abundapt mischief these
tempests have occasioned :
In the night between Monday and Tuesday, the
14th and 19th instant, this part of the country expe•
rienced one of the most awful tempests that has been
known by the oldest person living. It blew most vi-
olently from the N.N.W. and the rain fell in torrents,
and With a violence which cannot be described. The
rivers and streams of water overflowed their channels
in all quarters, deluging the adjacent grounds, and
sweeping away almost every object which opposed
their course.

It is impossible to estimate the great damage which
has been sustained, in the space of a few hours, by
this destructive flood, and chiefly in the article of
grain ; the elects of which, it is to be feared, will
be severely felt by the community at large. innu-
merable sheaves of wheat, barley, and oats, have
been tound hanging upon hedges, and left in lanes ;
besides vast quantities seen floating down the dif:
fermt rivers.

The river Eben (or End) was higher than had been
known for fifty years. A barn was washed down at
Braystones, belonging to Mr. John Smith, of Becker-
mont.
Mr. James Little, the farmer, lost a great
deal of corn. Mr. Smeddle also lost upwards of 100
stooks i the water on I
nes of his dwelling-
house was at one time ly three feet deep.
The water in Bransty-Beck forced down a part of
the wall, near the bottom of the New Road, and the
cellars of the adjoining houses were under water for
some time. From the quantity of water in the Poe,
the same temporary inconvenience was felt in some
houses in the Market-place ; but we do not hear of
any damage hav'ng been sustained.
Bridges destroyed by the flood : Lowca.bridge,
near Lowca Iron-works, over Morresby Beck, about
a mile and a half from this town ; Kersey bridge,
.over the End, near Low-mill, about a mile below
Egrcmont ; Nether Hall-bridge, over the Ellan,
near Maryport ; Waver-bridge, near Wigton ; Clea-
tor-bridge, over the Keekle, within four miles of this
town (not entirely. destroyed, but split in such a man-
ner, as to render it, we believe, impassable for the
present) ; the bridge at Hesket New Market ; Se-
-1 bergham-bridge ; Bell-bridge ; Hawkesdale-bridge,
and two wooden bridges at Cummcrsdale.
The river Greta, at Keswick, was astonishingly
swool:en, and in a much greater proportion than the
I lake. The flood occasioned thereby was the greatest
{ ever known. Many selds, the corn being then in
btook, were entirely bared I
Mr. Rand, of Cockbridge Inn, had two valuable
horses drowned in the stable, by the overflowing of
the Ellan ; and much mischief besides was dene in
that neighbourhood. The loss in the fields adjacent
to the Emont, is also said to have been considerable.
The river Cardew has carried down whole fields of
corn : at Caldbeck it swept away the strong stone
weir that diverts the stream to the corn-mill belong
ing to the rectory of that sown, and totally demo-
lished the woollen carding manulactory and mlehi-
liery belonging to Mr. Isaac Saul. It also carried
away a dwciling-house at Dam-side; Cailisle, and
89-acre field of wheat at I)alston Hall, and all the
corn in Blackhall-holme. In the suburbs of Carlisle,
in consequence of a large mound of earth in the head
of Denton-bolme having been carried away last yeer,
he Caldew ran direct into Caldewgate—and all that
part of the town was so completely under water, that
it was with difficulty any person, even on horseback,
could pass into the town. Much injury has been
sustained at the extensive print work of Messrs. Fos-
ter, at Cummersdale ; also at the print works of
Mesq.s. Lcsh. These works are both situated on the
hanks (4. the Caldew.—James Anscough, dyer, and
N. obert M'Cormick, bficklayer, have nearly lost their
all by the late inundation. The Eden, we,hear, has
also done considerable damage ; the farmers in the
neigh btu hoods of Dotcherby and Rickerby have suf-
fered very severely. The Wampool has carried down
great quantities of corn. At Wigton, Mr. Cum-
mings lost a pair of valuable post horses, and a
chaise, in crossing the river Waver : the post-boy
'.as rovideatially saved by laying hold of the
branches of a tree. The river Petterell was likewise
s:yellen to an unusual height. Several fields of corn
adjoining that river were partially swept away by
the torrent, pariculaily one field of five acres of oats.
On Tuesday morning the river Tyne overflowed
its banks to a most alarming height. It has not been
remembered so high since the year 171.2. Great
quantities of grain have been swept off those low
lands, which in many places lie contiguous to the
river. The loss sustained cannot be calculated, but
it mest be immtmse ; corn, to the amount of ten or
120f4. have been lost by the occupier of Newborn-
Hall firm alone. The quay, at Newcastle, was over-
flowed daring Tuesday, and it was with extreme dif:
ficulty, that same small vessels, which were lying in-
side ef the tiers of ships, could be pmvented from
being placed on their bean: ends. Great damage hat
liKewise been done in the neighbourhood of Hexham,
many water-mills being disabled, by their dams,
sluices, &c. being carried away. Great quantities of
.grain have also been lost in that neighbourhood.
The river I'Vear was so much 'swollen at Sunder-
land bridge (southward of Durham) that the mail-'
!coach could not pass ; but the b:yrs were got across,
and forwarded to Newcastle in a chaise. The Wear
uas covered with sheaves of corn for several hours.
I The sufferers are too numerous to particularise. Some
I pars of the road to Morpeth were under water to a
considerable depth ; and all the small streams of the
country overflowed their banks.
Besides the loss in corn, timber, &c. it is too pro-
bable that numbers of cattle, sheep, &c. have perished
—se: oral having been seen floating down the different
rivers, &c. It is said that a boy was drowned near
:icaton Iron Works, and another near Maryport.

Saturday, as two men were sparring, at the Castle
and Falcon, in Aldcrsgate•street, one of them fell
down, when a cart moving into the yard, one of the
wheels went over his legs, which crushed them to
pieces.

A yoilrig man, the son of a farmer at Methering-
ham, while amusing himself last week near a water-
engine, received so violent a blow on the head from
one of the sails, as caused his immediate death.

CHALLENGE.
IESSRS. CURRIE and Co. Surgeons, late in his
1. Majesty's Service, challenge the whole world to 7rove a
single instance where their Medicine and method of core have
failed of the desired efrect. The practice of tnany years in this
particular branch of their profession has not giveu rise to one
unsuccessful ease.

They continue to direct their studies to the treatment and cure
of Venereal Complaints, and that dcratisement of the system,
which is the coust:quence of the pernicious and wasteful elects et a
habit long and most unhappily pursued by the youths of both sexes
in the one it will be found to be the unfailing source of barren
nes; ; the other have its ravage-3 fatally developed to theta by a dis-
tressing state of debility, which, Ulna timely remedied, terminates
in impotence. These are its remote and ultimate t tftc, s, while cun-
sumptions,loss of muscular power, and various nervous eon:plaints
usually characterise the earlier stages of this solitary vice. Of per-
sons languishing under the disorders Incident to fuelt a habit, their
treatment is simple and has never proved unsuccessful, in the
course of a long, laborious, and much extended practice. hi-sate
most obstinate and complicated cases of venereal infection, 31:Cil
as obstructions in the urethra, spongy excrescences, hard mu-
:tours, callous ulcers, eruptions, seminal weakness, giros, as also
I'IUCTUR
Whether recent or of long duration, and which have baffled the
skill of other Practitioners ; are by their present improved plan of
treatment, effectually and permanently cured, without the patient
suffering the excruciating pain and alarming hemorrhage which
often follows the application of the lunar caustic. In the course of
20 years extensive practice in this metropolis, numerous cases of
Strictures have been and are daily under their care, the total
eradication of which are effected by a safe, certain, and expedi-
tious mode of practice, superior to any other yet adopted. The
weakness, relaxation, and debility proceeding from this complaint,
I, speedily removed, and the patient restored to sound and vi-
gorous health. But where the debility has for years existed, a
proper persevrrance in their restorative remedies, after the Stric-
ture has been destroyed, is indispensably requisite to revive the
slumbering sparks of life, and to reanimate the Constitution.
Several Noblemen and Gentlemen, of the first respectability,
have been under the care of Messrs. Currie and Co. for the re-
moval of complaints of the Urethra, Strictures, fac. and, having
received a radical and permanent cure, request that references
may be given to them as satisfactory evidences of the decided su-
rriority of Messrs. Currie and Co.'s plan of treatment. Many
of these Gentlemen have had Strictures from ten to twenty years,
and had been under the care of Messrs. Home and Heaviside.,
and other surgeons of equal eminence, who attempted the cure
by the application of the lunar caustic, as ith wt success.
Messrs. Currie and Co. may be consulted by either sex with the
greatest delicacy, secrecy, and honour, at their house, No. 107,
liatton-Garden. Patients In the country are requested to state
the particulars of their case, age, and general habit of living, &c.
Inclosing a remittance for advice and medicines, when the same
will be given or sent to any part of the kingdom.
To ensure that secrecy so essential to their undertaking, the
postage of Letters may be added to the account for medicines.
