LIYIRTOOL, Nov. 18.—Thursday and Friday we had a violent
gale from the W.N. W. and S. W. with occasional heavy showers
of rain and hail. On the afternoon of Friday, the Lascelles,
Captain SINUOUS; from Alaranham, arrived off this port, soon
after high water, but not being able to enter the harbour, she
was driven, during the night, by the violence of the gale, on the
banks off Southport, where she was lost, about twelve o'clock,
and every one on board perished, consisting of, it is said, twenty-
three or twenty-four persons, including pasiengers. The bodies
of the pilot, Jaatn ELM, and three of the crew, have only yet
been found. It is supposed the vessel must have gone to pieces,
as upwards of 400 bales of cotton have been washed ashore at
Southport.—Another vessel, the Brunswick, from Smyrna fir
this port, was lost on the following morning on Barrett's wharf,
and it Is supposed all hands have perished. This melancholy
event was announced in the following extract of a letter received
here yesterday from an Officer of the Customs at Voulton, dated
Nov. 16:—" The Brunswick, from Smyrna for Liverpool, was
wrecked this morning on Barrett's wharf, the south side of the
river Lune, near Sea Dyke, the foot of the rive: Wyre : she is
totally wrecked, and it is to be feared that all hands are lost : she
is, at low water, about two miles from the shore, and no pro-
spect of any of the cargo being saved."
Coax, Nov. 15.—1 t blew a terrible gale last night from the
south-west. In our River several vessels have been driven from
their moorings,
,one of which came in contact with the wall of
the tobacco-store at the Custom-house, and did som• damage;
three or four were forced by the gale and the flood down the
river, and one was driven upon the bank opposite the New
Wall. Wednesday, a vessel, supposed by some to be a collier,
and by others to be the Prince Regent, of Liverpool, was seen
beating up from the eastward, near Poor Head, outside this har-
bour, and it is apprehended she went down, as she was not seen
after. By subsequent accounts from Cove, we learn there is no
doubt of the loss of the vessel. She wa:. coming from London,
bound to Liverpool. All the crew are lost—some of their bodies
have been thrown on the beach.

DUMFRIES, NOVEMBER 19.

The weather, in this quarter, is still as bad as bad
can be. Scarcely a day passes over our heads but
what i, ushered in by gusts of wind and torrents of,
rain; and on Friday, in particular, the tide rose at
Glencaple Quay at least eight feet above its ordinary
level—that is, higher than it has been for several
years. During the swell, two sloops were lifted fairly
cut of the bed of the river, and left high and dry on
the adjoining bank—one of them at the New Cut,
and the other upon the Greenhead merse.
A circumstance that had well nigh been attended
with fatal consequences, occurred here on Tuesday
last, while the flood in the river 'was nearly at its
height, and fearfully rolling from bank to brae. Be-
tween three and four o'clock, a horse breaker of this
town was airing or exercising a fine blood mare, with
a little boy on its back, in the direction of the wood-
yards, when the animal became alarmed at the sight
of the water, and in spite of the leader's exertions,
who held on the end of a long halter, ran back to
the very edge of the parapet wall opposite Assembly-
street. Another moment, and the poor boy had been
lost for ever ! but, perceiving his danger, he sprung
from his seat, and most providentially escaped the
fate that awaited him. In the meantime, either the
halter broke, or the leader lost his hold, and the ani-
mal being thus freed from restraint, plunged head-
long into the raging current. On recovering from
the first shock, it endeavoured to get ashore at Rich-
ardson's brewery, and in doing so, actually passed
under the keel of a sloop that was moored at the
Dock-head. At this point the bridle-reins were grap-
pled by a boat-book ; but it was all in vain ;by re-
peated plunging, the reins snapped, and away went
the heavy swimmer at a fearful rate, and with only
its head and tail above water. Between the Dock-
head and Castledykes, it made various attempts to
regain the land. but was always baffled by the height
and steepness of the banks. At length a boat having
been manned by Mr. SMART, and four other brave
fellows, a most curious aquatic race took place for
at least half a mile—a race which ended in favour of
the pursuers, who, by keeping on the outside, suc-
ceeded in forcing the animal on shore. On regaining
terra firma, the spirited creature, although encum-
bered with a saddle, martingale, and various other
trappings, shook her drizzly mane, flung up her heels,
and capered away as if nothing had happened. The
poor sailors, considering the success and danger of
their trip, naturally looked for some reward, but even
after a Magistrate had awarded them the not unrea-
sonable sum of ss. the demand was resisted on the;
ground that the animal *tight have got on shore by
its own exertions ! the mare,, it is said, is worth forty
or fifty guineas.

Yesterday, the remains of the late Lord Gil A NTLEY
were removed from his house in Sloane-street to
Wouersh, near Guildford, where they will be depo-
sited in the family vault. on Sunday next.
