WEYMOUTH, DECEMBER 4. • .

The winter amusements of this fashionable wa-
tering-place will commence in the ensuing week.
The following seizures were on Tuesday, brought
to his Majesty s Custom-house, at this port, by the
Commander of his Majesty's Admiralty crnizer GREY-
HOUND, viz. Glory lugger, of Weymouth,. with 103
casks of foreign spirits, and three of tea ; one man
committed to Dorchester jail.—Pheasant cutter, of-
ditto, with four men and 50 casks.—Cruizieg
.boat,
with a seizure of 11 casks of spirits ; making, in the
whole, 298 casks of spirits, within these ten days.—
Notwithstanding on that day it blew a strong gale at
south, Mr.DAVIS, Excise Tide Surveyor, and his four
bdatmen, put to sea on the same'service ; but this ex-
cessive zeal had nearly cost the whole- the loss of
their lives, as the boat upset off this harbour,"half a
mile distant. The Commander of the GREYHOUND,'
J. NUGENT, Royal Navy, was the first to jump into his
boat, and push out to their assistance, in sight of
hundreds of spectators, who witnessed this sad disas-
ter, and expected the whole to have been consigned_
to a watery grave. This Gentleman, by !inactivity
and humanity, has had the secret satisfaction "of
saving a man, by name Benjamin Plumpty. His in-
trepidity at an Officer and Seaman, are too well-
known to need any eulogium. but it is universally
hoped that his conduct, on this dangerous occasion,
will not pass unnoticed. Other boats, some manned
With smugglers, immediately 'followed this noble ex-
Ample, and be it recorded, to the credit of all, saved
the Master and three men out oldie four, after, float-
ing upwards of twenty minutes, and nearly exhausted.
Such prompt assistance, we cannot but again observe,
reflects the highest honour on all the parties, and has
been acknowledged, by the survivors, with feelings
pod expressions of the most heart-felt gratitude. A
Patman, of the name of Thomas Wheeler, a native
Shaffiet, in the Isle of Wight, was unfortunately
drowned. He bad been appointed to this station only
a fortnight ago, and has left a widow and five small
children to bewail their loss, and his melancholy fate.
We are happy to see that a subscription has been en-
=into for alleviating their distress, which bai
liberally supported by Archdeacon. ONSLOW
Lady JOHNSTONE, Lady MEADE, the Lady of H.;
Goanorf, Esq. M.P. and many other distinguished
characters ; and we sincerely hope that the Hon
Commissioners of his Majesty's Board of Excise will
be griciously pleased to make a provision for this
truly unprotected family. • • ... s'it• -'w - y
