TRURO, FEBRWART 14.

The resistance of certain Tin Smelters to the sys-
tem of stocking tin at a reduced price for the India
Company, with the view of relieving the home mar-
ket from the pressure of a superabundant produce,
and by which system Cornwall has been so greatly
benefited, has been met this week by a vigour beyond
the law, not less culpable in practice, than natural in
principle. Above a thousand working sinners, &c.
assembled and destroyed some ladders and other ma-
teriels belonging to their works. But the good temper
of these distressed men, soon admitted the remon-
strances of reason. A resolution has been adopted,
however, to send no more tin ore to the obnoxious
smelting-house.

The sloop Three Brothers, of Shoreham, in coming
from harbour, was driven against the pier-head, by
which she carried away her bowsprit, with other da-
mage, and was obliged to bear away for Broadstairs;
she was observed by the boatmen there, who, with
two of the lug-sail boats, put off to her assistance ;
but they had no got far from the shore, when, owing
to the violence of the wind and seas, one of the boats
ran foul of the ?Aber and upset her, by which acci-
dent, we are sorry to say, that Mr. Oval and Mr.
Job, both of Broadstairs, were unfortunately drowned;
they have lett wives and families to lament their loss.
The sloop got on the rocks in going into Broadstairs,
but by the greatest exertions on the part of the boat-
men, she was got off, and is now in the harbour, and
has sustained great damage in her hull and.rigging.
