with lightning, which shivered the foremast from the royal mast-
head to the deck, burnt the fore-top-gallant sail, tore the fore-top-
sail and main-top-gallant-sail, split the belfry and windlass,
went into the hold and started the clamps of the lower deck
beams, together with several planks of the ceiling and forecastle
deck, and broke the beds ; the shack knocked several of the sea-
men down, but otherwise did not injure them. On the 24th,

Satee:Kern—About nine o'clock on the evening of Tuescley,
the 2d instant, dining a very thick fog, the Spanish brig Prooi-
dencia, of about 150 tons, from St. Andero for Bristol, with
wool, ran on a rock called Hellweathers, at Scilly, and began to
fill fast. About twelve, the crew saw St. Agnes's light, and
fired a gun, when a great number of Loas put off, and saved all
who were on board ; and at day-break next morning, almost
every boat and man that could be spared from the different
islands attended for the purpose of getting out the cargo, which
was happily effected on the same day, and the whole conveyed
to St. Mary's, but in so damaged a state (through exposure to
the wind and rain) that, though originally worth £lO,OOO, its
present value is not above one-third of that sum. On the Wed.
nesday night, the boats still remaining round the wreck were
assailed by a violent gale, when the Hero, a fine large boat be-
longing to Bryber Island, and worth about .C3OO, was dashed
to pieces.

The violence of the late gales has again seriously
affected the new Groyne at Black Rock, Brighton.
Owing to the great force of the tide, the foundations
have been seriously shaken, and the piles are nearly
all loosened.

. When there were Three £30,000 Money Prizes in
a former Lottery Bissi sold them all !!! There are
Three of that denomination in the present Lot-
tery—What are the odds BIM does not also sell
the whole of those three? The chances certainly are
greatly against such an event, but many persons, in
spite of the odds, have backed Bisit's luck, as he is
remarkable for selling Thirty Thousand Pound
Prizes, having sold more than half of all that have
ever been. A few days will determine, as the Draw.
ing begins NEXT TUESDAY, and the ver; first Prize
drawn that day is sure to be one of those Three
Thirty Thousands.
