convenience to which persons of a corpulent habit are extremely
subject at the middle and more advanced periods of life, but which
never threatens a fatal termination, and is usually relieved or re-
moved altogether by a reduction in the fulness of habit, from which
it generally proceeds.

DUNBAR. JULY 22.—We had a heavy gale from the north-east
yesterday afternoon, with rain, a dense atmosphere, and a heavy
sea running. About five in the evening, three Alonps were observed
in the Cove Bay, coming front the southward, all of which got so
much embayed that they could not clear the land on either tack.
nor could they possibly see where they were, from the thickness.
About seven o'clock all the three were driven ashore, two of them
near Thorntonloch, about five miles east of this place, within 150
yards of each other; and the third opposite the harbour of Catcraig,
about two miles farther to the westward. The two first mentioned
are the Thomas and Isabella, THOMAS Samson master; and the
' Patriot, Tstoxas Ill' Doxaut master, both of and from North
Shields, coal laden—the former for Perth, and the latter for Dun-
dee. The latter of the three is the Alexander, of Limekiln% Joists
Aunitasou master, from Sunderland to Inverness, with lime shells.
This vessel had sprung a dangerous leak, and was in a sinking state,
and on fire, two hours before sbe came ashore. She is still burning
this morning, and will be a total wreck, except her sails and rig-
ging, which are saved. The other two vessels are likely to be got off,
but with considerable damage. The crews are all saved.

GIUSALTAX, JULT Epiro Canevaro, from Cadiz to Ge-

seen to bring to a laden vessel off Cape St. Vincent, 28th ult.
