surPosau LOSS Olf THE HISLETOR SCHOONEIL

On Thursday last et collier reported that he had,
seen the masts of a large ship at low water.—Mr..
WALLIS sent out his boat and men, and after diligent
search in the direction mentioned, they discovered
the inasts of a vessel, as high as her partners, out of
the water, which had sunk in thirteen fathoms, with-
in nine m.les of Rottinguesii, bearing north-east by
east of the Burgh Point. After making a survey,
and plumbing her decks, they cut away some of her
ropes, acid the materials soon coavinced them of the
wreck bring a King's ship. On the boat's return to
Brighton, they fell in with an Admiral's tender from
Spithead, which was making search and inquiry
after the Minima, as she had not been heard of for
some time. WALLIWN patty related to them their
discovery of a wreck, and described her masts, and(
as two of the men nn board the yacht knew the
MISLETOEF which had lately received a new foremast,
their statements exactly corresponded. From this
circumstance alone, the conjecture is founded that the
wreck must be the Ksletne schooner, and that it sunk
whilst lying at anchor, during the late gales. Wiqr
the exception of a few pieces of cabin board and the
balwarks of a ship being picked up along the coast,
no positive traces can beYound, as there have been no
bodies washed ashore. Information has been seat to
the Admiralty and to Portsmouth. The Mrsurroit
was commanded by Captain BLAKI4 who had a com-
plement of 42 picked men, and she was stationed in
our Roads to cruize against the smugglers.

The Resolution brig, from Oporto to London, was
wrecked in Mount's Bay, Cornwall, on the 4th inst.
cr•iwds of ruffians immediately surrounded the vessel,
carried off all the property of the Captain and crew ;
staved tho pipes and hogsheads filled with wine, and
out of a cargo of 375 pipes, only between 50 and 60
were saved by the agents ; the vessel, in the first in-
stance, sustained but little damage, but the country
people lipped the hull, and rendered her a complete
wreck; almost the whole of the cargo might have
been saved, but for the infamous conduct above de-
scribed ; one of the wretches was drowned, and
others died from excessive intoxication.

Friday night a man bellngingto his Majesty's ship
Egmont lea into the water in a state of intnxicatim,
off the New Buildings, Portsmouth, and although he
WAS quickly taken up, he had become quite senseless.
lie was conveyed to the Horse and Jtocky public-
house in Sandwich-street, and was attended by Mr.
Williams, surgeon ; but it was not until after two
hours that he recovered sense and speech.

Saturday sennight, during the g;le, a young man
belonging to a Plymouth trader, ot and from Ports-
mouth, was thrown overboard, off Egypt House, by
the boom suddenly jibing, and drowned.
Doting the flood at Appleby, some swine that were
driven by the river Into the house of Mr. John At-
kinson, were obliged to seek safety by getting upon

Mr. T. Robinson, of Ormside, was endeavouring to
cross the river at that place with two loaded carts,
the horses were both drowned, and the carts dashed
to pieces: the driver escaped.

last week, in the flood, near Arundel—fortunately no
person was hurt."
Monday se'nnight, as Dr. Norr was giving direc-
tions to the workmen employed in carrying on the im-
provements in Wirschester Cathedral, &c. he ascended
a ladder, in order to point out some particular object
to their attention. 'L'he ladder being in a very itchned
position broke, and be was precipitated from a height
ot 21; feet. He had presence of mind sufficient§ in
the first instance, to disengage himself from the lad-
der, and his fall, which was on the :safe ground,• al-
though within a few inches of several large blocks of
stone, occasioned only a simple fracture ut the wrist,
and some Blight contuaions on the face.
