• A very revere fiorm of wind and Ater*
here in the afternoon of Monday, from the -W
and continued until the Alining_ of the followingday. The quantity of fnotlii alts'fell in *this time
was'greater than we have had for Tome years, and in I
confequence of the Itrong wind it drifted fo much as',
to render the roads in fume places impaffable. The
mail and noon coaches which went from hence on
Tuefday, were yet fall about tkree miles un this fide',
of Market Weighton, together with a hearfe going
to that place with a corpfe for interment, salaaming
coach and a waggon. The York coach and Trafal-
gar of Tuefday were compelled•to tarn back to
Weighton, the road for a confiderable dillance being
covered from hedge to hedge, to the depth of from
fix to ten feet, in many places. A Mr. Cooke, from
Sunderland, travelling in hiltown carriage, towards
this place, was compelled to leave it about a mile on
this fide of Weightnn, and purfued his journey on
foot on Tuefday right, to Beverley. The mail for
Yolk on Tuefday was carried from the place Where;
the coach !luck acrnfs the' fields' down to'
Weighton, and forwarded from thence by one of thel
York coaches. Beyond Market Weighton there was
no impediment of confequence—the London mail,
the coaches from Dona tier, Manchefler, Leeds and
Edinburgh, arrived on Tuefday evening about the
uftial time. At Whitby, and all along the Eafiern
coati of Yorkfhire, the fall of (now was very great,
and the roads were rendered wholly impaffable for
carriages. and in many places even for horfes.
The effects of this revere form, we are Corry to
fay, were nor confined to the land. The following
melancholy details have reached us from different
parts of the coati ; and we fear that we are not ac-
quain•ed with the whole extent of the injury :
At four o'clock on Tuefday morning, it blowing
a tremendous gale with a heavy fnow, the (hip Ami
cus, Captain SIMrsoN, of this port, from Petertborg,
with hemp, flax, tallow, &c. (ruck on the Holder.
nefs coati, about half a mile to the South of the Sif-
ter Churches. The gale continuing, the profpat of
raving the crew became the objeft of folicitude, as
the total wreck of the (hip being inevitable, being
thrown on her hroadfide by the violent furl, and her
tipper works parted from the bottom. The boats
were Rove in attempting to launch them. At twelve
o'clock the Captain, who was an excellent fwimmer,
committed himfelf to the waves; with a rope, hoping
ti be able to grin the (Fiore, but was overwhelmed
by the breakers, and perifhed in the attempt. The
mate, and another of the crew, followed his example
and met a fimilar fate.

It was now five o'clock, and the remaining part
of the Ibles company were Gen clinging to the rig.
ging And wreck, by numerous fpeflators. After fe
veral ineffalual attempts, Mr. Giles, a refpeaable
farmer at Washolme, had recourfe to the following :
he procured a leaden half pound weight, and making
a hole through ir, he Whaled it to a long piece of
whipcord, and felefted from the fpeelators the molt
athletic man, In call it at the wreck. After many
fruitlefs trials. the man following a recedirg wave,
fucceeded in throwing it acrofs the vefiel. The car-
penter fattening the cord round his arm, was drag
Red through the fur fto the fhnre, apparently Held:,
but afterwards recovered ; the rope was again call,
and another boy rcfcucd from the veffel in the, fame
manner. After this, a perfon named John Gem-
fides, notwithllanding the heavy fled, rerlhed through
it to the veil, and though he was bidden repeatedly
from the view of the Cpetlators by tremendous waves
and could not fwim, fucceeded in gaining the wreck
and brought to land another boy---in his paffige to
the thole, he was twice thrown down by the violence
of the bask water. He again returned to the wreck,
and at the hazard of his own, faired the life of ano•
Cher feaman. At fir o'clock four perfuns ventured
through the waves to the (hip, and brought away
two others, who died &only alter their gaining the
&ore. •

The Jafon, HALL, of Lynn, from Wyburg, was
alfir driven on lhore about a mile to the Southward
of the Amicus—crew favcd, and part of the cargo.
The Kingthon, WISE, of and from this port, far
Riga, was driven over Sandhale, upon the Lincoln
(hire main, on the night of Monday Lail. The crew
ate all lived ; the cargo is espated oro to be Caved,
and the earl, it is hoped, will be got oif.
In the gale on Tuefda y„ a boat was upfet in the Hum-
ber ff.the Earrifon, in which were two men of the
nanses of Pier epoint and Leggett; the former taught
hold cf the bat and fullained himfelf thereby, until
a boat came to his al:finance from the tender ;—the
latter was carried'away by the current, and his body
is not yet found. He has left a wife and five chil-
dren.
