Friday se'nnight, Mr. BAKER, a spirit merchant
of Hythe, accompanied by two brothers, John and
Edwards Pryce, Lucas, Mercer, Collins,
and —Philpot, embarked in a 'man galley (techni-
cally termed a Death), on a trip to France s shortly
after their departure a gale sprung up, and there is
not the least doubt but they have found a watery
grave ; the stern of the galley having been picked
up at anchor of Virnereux, and brought to Hythe on
Thursday lag. None of the bodies have been found.
Mr. BAKFI has left a widow and eight children, and
four others of the party were married men, having
families.

On the Ilth instant it blew a dreadful gale, veer-
ing from S. S. E. to S.S. W. which in the evening
shifted to the N. W. Two Mackerel boats were lost
in Mount's Bay, and 'their crews, consisting of four-
teen persons, perished ; leaving 11 widows and SO
children to lament their loss. On Sunday and Mon-
day the nets belonging to 'these boats were taken up
near the Lizard, by a pilot boat belonging to St.
Mime's. On the corks of the former the body of one
of the sufferers, named John Lee, was found. The
poor fellow, being an excellent swimmer, got the net
together, and lashed himself to the corks. The sur-
geons who have examined the body, think that he
had not been' dead 24 hours, and had expired from
fatigue and want of nourishment.
E. Nash, 14 years of age, was on Monday knocked
down by the pole of Lot d Pomfret's carriage, in Park-
lane, when the wheel went over his head, by which
his jaw-bone was fractured, and he was carried home
in an apparently dying state.
GOTTENBURUU, JUNE 13.—From some cause, with
which we are at present unacquainted, a most liniotis
fire broke out yesterday morning it about one o'clock,
in the warehouses of the tar-wharf, situated at Tli-
singen, opposite the old Arniralitit's waitron (Admi-
ralty wharf). These warehouses, together with about
4000 barrels of pitch and tar (which were housed
there), were in a few hours devoured by the flames.
Our worthy Governor, together with several Civil
Officers, came to the spot with all possible dispatch ;
and their presence greatly stimulated the inhabitants
to use their utmost exertions, but all labour was of
no avail. The flames, which at first were confined
to the western side of the building, were shortly (in
consequence of &strong westerly wind) driven with
such violence over to the eastern, as to render the
preservation of any part of the buildings impossible.

We stated snme days ago that Myer had been at
Liverpool in the course of his tour. On this subject
the following letter appears in one of the Journals (4
this day :
