A NEW NAVAL DEPOT.

The Admiralty have adopted a plan, which will tank his Ma-
ley's Clips to fail from the River with confiderable more facility
and expedition, than ever they could before. It is that of having
them refitted at Gravefend, WilL I e an agent is appointed for that
purpofe. it often harpened that Mips fent to Woolwich and Dept
ford to be 'repaired, were detained at thole places, particularly the
latter, for fevers! weeks after the repairs were completed, by meats
of contrary winds The chief °Ned of the pref nt plan is, that
after the 'hips come nut of Dock, they fhall avail themfelves of t►e
Ertl fair wind and drop down to Gravefend, where every thing
which *as left unfinitheel is to be completed; and from which
Chips of the largelt Sze can put to lea with any wind. We under •
hand that in order to extend the good effeds of this plan as far
as poiLitale it is intended to cred a King's Dock-yard immediately
at Nortbffeet. A place called the Creek, a little above Northfleet,
has already been fixed upon for the purpofe. It has a chalky bot-
tom, and is in other refpeds extremely well adapted for a Dock-
yard. We underhand that the Thames from Deptford to the
mouth of the River will in future be an Admiral's Ration. Rear
Admiral Stanhope, whole flag is now hying on board the Sybil
frigate off Northfieet, has the command of all the men of war
within that finer. The fallowing n-en of war are now lying at
Graver. ed :—The Sybil frigate, Admiral Stanhope; Thetis, Capt.
Gage, Powerful, of 74; Intrepid, f,4; Woolwich, 44 guns; and
another Clip

Extract of a letter, dated Hibernia, off Ufhant,
Wednefday tali;--
The enemy's Red continue at their new anchorage, now int-
Inenfely Rrong, and which affords them much facility in putting
to tea, timid fuels be their intention. They extend aerofs the en •
trance of Brett from Camaret to the eaR end of Bertheaume Bay,
the coat around them prefenting an almoft continued chain of
heavy batteries. A new battery of 32 heavy guns has jolt been
finiffied between Point St Matthew and Bertheanme,and another
nearer Bertheaume is nearly completed. Their prefect pofition,
which is iheltered from all but wefterly winds (which blow
right in) is fufficiently Rrong to protedt them. The infhore (qua-
dron now comprises the Indefatigable, Acafta, Santa Margarita,
Surinant. Conte ft, and Felix, and there are repeating (hips Rationed
between them and the fleet."

POLICE, &c.

At the Public ONce, Hatton Garden, yeflerday,
an elderly perfon of the name of Waller, was charged
with a breach of the peace, in carrying a cutlafs about
him, to the great fear of a man, named Taylor, of
whom he was jealous on account of his wife, who
lived on bad terms with him : all the parties are Gie.
people. Waller was held to bail.
A fervant girl, in a gentleman's family, and a
young man whom the had concealed in the honfe after
the family had gone to ten, were alfo brought before
the Magillrates, and ordered to find bail for their ap-
pearance at the Qoarter Seflions.
Yefierday, at IMarlborough (tract, a complaint
was preferred, by Lady Webtlet's coachman, againfl
the driver of the Weymouth Mail, for overturning,
her Ladyfhip's carriage, a few days fince. It ap-
peared by the flatement of the complainant, that he
was driving his milirels and her daughter, near the
end of Southampton-ftreet. Strand, when the pal-
1-age was impeded by a coal-waggrn. The WI,
which was dole in the rear, was alfo flopped ; and
the coachman, in order to purfue his courfe, pulled
off to the right by a (land of hackney coaches, in
doing which he caught the wheel of Lady Webfler's
1 carriage arid upfet it. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
It was stated, by a Gentleman from the Poft-Office,
who was a a:tenger in the Mail, that the accident
was, in a great meafure, unavoidable ; and, fo far
from any kind of exultation on the part of thecoach•
man and guard, they infiantly alighted, and placed
the coach on its wheels, and expreffed their forrow.
The cafe flood over for decifion.

Friday fe'nnight a charge was brought before the
Juilices of Peace of Ayrlbire, againft an inhabitant
of Glafgow, for aiding and affifting a foldier to de-
fert. The charge was fully proved, and the man
was fined in the flatutory penalty of aol. Reding,
which by the law cannot be mitigated.
On Saturday Mr. Woodford, an Ezcife Officer,
fell into the London Docks, and was drowned.—
He has left a wife and two children totally unpro-
vided for.

On Monday laft, Mr. jostem TINDALL, eldeft fon
of Lieutenant Colonel TINDALL of Scarborough,
about 23 years of age, in the bloom of health and
manhood, being on a vifit at Whitby, went to bathe
in the lea, about nine o'clock in the morning, when
venturing too far into the water, he was unfortu-
nately drowned, in the fight of a great number of
perfons upon the pier and beach, who though at a
very (mall difiance from him, could render him no
affillance. The perfon attendant upon the bathing
machine as foon as he faw the danger, rode into the
water to attempt his refcue, but was prevented by the
violence of the furf from effaling his purpofe. The
body being conveyed away by the receflion of the
waves, could not be found, though boats were imme-
diately difpatchcd from the harbour to fearch for it.
The number of boats engaged in that office the whole
of the day, exhibited as they moved along the !hare
in flow and filent progreffion, a fcene irrefiliably af-
feeling. The body was difcovered the following
morning about five o'clock, near the water's edge,.'
by two foldiers, who-had been employed with others
to watch the beach. This very melancholy accident
is rendered more truly diflreffing and affeetive, by
the circumftance of the young man being on the
point cf marriage with a beautiful and accomplifhed
young lady, of one of the firlt families in Whitby.
His remains wrote interred at Scarborough on Wed-
nefday lea, attended by a numerous allemblage of
his aillifted relations and friends.
Yefterday morning a fervent belonging to a bottle
in Eaft 'tact, Red Lion-fquare, while cleaning the
windows above Hairs, fell upon the iron pallifadots
in front of the houfe, and expired immediately. We
hope this will operate as a caution to bookkeepers
not to employ their female fervants in fo dangerous
an occupation.
On Saturday night, about twelve o'clock, Mary
O'Brien, who had privately delivered herfelf in Ca
roline-court, Saffron hill, and had thrown her child
(who is fince dead), into the privy, made her efcape
over the Workbook wall, in Little Saffron-hill, and
has not fince been heard of. A Jury was held on
the child left Saturday, when a verdita was returned,
that it died by the vilitation of GOD.
A daring robbery was committed on Saturday
evening on the road from Staines to Hounflow, by
three teIIOWS. Mr. SUNLIY, a merchant at Hack-
ney, was returning to town with his fon, a youth of
fixtren years of age, in a one bode chaile, when
the robbers ruched on them, and ranfacked their
pockets. They could find no more than 41. and, at
this difappointment, they beat them unmercifully,

• _ . _ .
and left. them lying in the road. It is cuppnfed the
offenders belonged to asang which ladled Egkiam
race cootie.

CURE roe THE DEOEST.

Sir—ln your paper, a few weeks fince, I obferv-
ed that Bohea Tea, and the leaves to be eaten, was
recommended as a cure for the above fatal diforder ;
and as I had a pauper in the houfe at that time,
who was given over by the vifiting (urgent), I
ventured the experiment, and to my alfonifhment
found an almoft inilant relief—l repeated the dole
but once, and the woman in the courfe of a week was
able to go out to hay making, and will begin reap-
ing for me on Monday next, if the weather conti
nues fine. The woman's name is Elizabeth Auftin ;
her age 6z. I am, Sir, yours, &c.

The Recipe alluded to in the above letter was as
follows :—.s Eating the leaves of Bohea Tea is Rat-
ed to have effeCted feveral cures in cafes of Dropfy,
in the cnurfe of a few days. About two large tea-
cups full of the tea is infufed in a quart of water,
and during the day the decation to be drank, and
the leaves eaten at fhort intervals."
