the morning tide At depth of water at the Dock
gates' was 18 feet; in the afternoon it rofe to the
great depth of 23 feet, being within three inches of
the highea tide known here thefe 3o years. Several
'cellars, and the rooms on the ground floors of Come
of the wareboufes, wore fille4 with evater. Happily
the Spring tides were young or had the fame caufes
been brought into operation three days later, the
whole furrounding country waft have been over-
flowed.

IifETMOUTH, OLTOBER 4.

The following are Tome further particulars refped- I
ing the late Fire at this place :—On its breaking nut
in Mr. Hervey's workth I
ops or wareboufe, it was
immediately known that there were about 15 barrels
of gunpowder either in that identical building, or in
an adjoining one, within a few yards of the fire ; this
intelligence immediately fpread throughout the town,
and occafioned numbers of people who inhabited
parts rf the town far diftant from the fire, to remove
their children and families to the utmoß extre-
mities of the town, in awful expeltatioa of a mottle! -
tory dreadful explolion—fear fo far prevailed, that
many perfons fled halfnaked to the neighbouring vil
loges. Providentially all the powder was removed
,
without any accident, and covered with wet cloths,
to prevent danger.
It is hoped that the idea of the terror which pre-
vailed on this alarm, will occafton the Magiftrates
of other towns to enforce the aft which limits the
quantity of powder that is to be kept in any town
by each petfon. The gunpowder above mer.tioned
has lince been fent to the magazine adjoining the
battery beyond the entrance of the harbour.
The town is much indebted to the Colleitor of the
Cullom', Mr. Warroa, for his great attention and I
confideration during the fire, which was near to the 1
Cußom.houfe. He perfonally attended the whole
time, and delivered from the Cuftom Houfe above 1
two hundred fmall empty kegs, which were of great
fervice in conveying water to the fire, and probably'
Paved the town, as the buckets belonging to the en.:
gives were comparatively very few. The water was '.
conveyed under guard of the volunteers principally
in two dirations, viz. fea water from the Qtray,
about three hundred yards dillant, and frefh water
, from the town pipes, which were fortunately well
fupplied. The terror occafioned by the alarm is Rill
vifible in the countenances of molt of the perfons 1
in the town. On the Friday night the engines and
a guard attended, and patroles walked tkrough the
' (beets every half hour, to fignify that all was well.
Every thing is now perfally Cafe.
We cannot but praife the very Ready conduit of
the 53d Regiment, the 3d Dragoon Guards, and of
our Volunteers,and the proper manner in which their
Officers Rationed then; to prevent any confufion, and
as guards to the property depitted in the &eels :
the alacrity with which they turned nut is highly
commendable. We have no hefiration in laying,
their conduit on this and on all occafions merits the
thanks of their fellow citizens, and is a certain proof
of the great utility of the volunteer fy Rm.
