MINCE OF WALES'S ISLAND, /11NL 14. • .
We are much concerned to state, that, by letters
received from Sumatra, intelligence has been brought
of the brig Margaret, Captain Angier, having, been
cut off by the natives, and every soul, excepting a.
boy, murdered. After taking out the cargo, amongst
which were twenty-five chests of opium, the vessel
was set fire to, and entirely destroyed.
JUN E 17.—Accounts from the coast of Peclier, state,
that a new ship from Chittagong, with some opium
on board, had been cut off ; and that the King of
Acheen was so exasperated at the conduct of the peo-
ple, that he bad proceeded to the place with a large
force, determined to bring the Rajah to account.
JUNE 21.—0 n Wednesday last, Illustrissimo Sen-
hor Botello, Governor of Timor, embarked under
the salute due to his rank. On passing the Portuguese
frigate, he was saluted and cheered, as also on his

Tait, came in from the eastward. She brings Intel-
ligence of the brig Eleanor, Captain Lambert, having
been captured at Baily, by a Dutch slobp of war,
from Amboyna. This vessel had English colours
flying until too late for the Eleanor to effect her es-
cape. Captain Lambert, and Lady, have been landed
at Sourabaya. The Eleanor is reported to have since
been lost, but the cargo all saved. Captain Tait fur-
ther states, that it was reported the whole of the
Palarnbang vessels, tin laden, had been destroyed by
an English ship of war, in Batavia Roads ; ancl that
a Lieutenant and one seaman had been creesed (cut
to pieces) by the Nacodah of one of the vessels.
We omitted to mention in our last, the return of
H. S. Pearson, Esq. First Member of Council, to
this Presidency. He landed on Thursday se'nnight,
from the Alexander, under the salute due to his rank.

morning for China, and the Clorinde arrived this day,,
with the Nottingham and Perseverance, from Ma-
dras. The Spencer, Monarch, and the other Europe
sl-.45, sailed on Sunday.

FIRS IN HOLLES-STREET.—YesterclAy at two o'clock,
a Coroner's Ityquest was held at the haat' of Mr.
Hunt, the Grange Inn, Carey-street, Wore AN-
THONY GELL, Esq. Coroner for Westminster, on the
body of Hannah, the wife of Alexander Brodie, who
lost her life in the fire in Holles-street, Clare-market,
on Thursday morning.
The deceased wai turned of 60 years of age : she
had been upwards of 19 years married to Brodie,
who was her second husband ; they were both natives
of the North of Scotland. He kept a shop as a mas-
ter,
tinman, for several years after he was marriedt,
but failing in business, worked as a journeyman until
by a sudden stroke of affliction from the hand Of Pro-
vidence, he was almost totally deprived of all means
of subsistence, and was under the necessity of receive
Wig parochial relief weekly from the workhouse of St.
Clement's. A few days, however, before the melan-4
choly accident took place, he received the most
agreeable intelligence, that a suit in which he was
engaged at law for the recovery of the sum 0f,02000
was brought to a favourable issue, and that be would'
shortly be put into possession of that sum of money.l
He is supposed to be buried in the ruins. There was
no account whatever, as to how the fire originated;.
,there was no one at work making candles at the time,
nor for some time before it, and it is -supposed that
the fire was entirely accidental. There are three
others missing besides this woman's husband ; among
the number there is one poor woman, who supported
herself and her daughter with the money she had
saved from living many years in the service of a No-
bleman, and had 8200, to begin some small business
with. The girl escaped, but the mother is not yet
found, and the money (the greater part of which is
in gold). is entirely.lost. Tile workmen continued
digging yesterday and to-day, but neither of the
above bodies was found when this Paper was put to
press.
About ten o'clock last eight a fire broke out at Mr.
HALE'S, shoe-maker, in Fleet-street, which destroyed
the lower part of the premises; but by the speedy
arrival of engines, was suppressed without further da-
mage.
Hamstead Mills, near Newbury, were on the night
of the sth inst. destroyed by fire, The mills, the pro-
perty of Earl Craven, were insured ; but the greater
part of the stock was uninsured.
Wednesday se'nnighr, a fire broke out at Mrs.
COMER'S, at Godney, near Glastonbury, which con-
sumed the dwelling-house, barn, and out-houses, the
greatest part of the household furniture, about three
ton of cheese, one bellock, six weaned calves, and a
small quantity of hay and corn. The property wait
not insured • and Mrs. Comm was at a distance from
home, attending the funeral of her brother.

LOSS OF THE SHIP ARDASEER, BY FIRE.
This noble ship, which was on the eve of her de.
parture for England, hag met with a fate not uncom-
mon to vessels belonging to the port of Bombay ;
we have been able to collect the whole of the particu-
lars of this melancholy affair, which we publi§h for
the information of our Readers :
On Wednesday night, the 13th September, about'
half-past ten, the first alarm of fire was communP
cated, by a seacunnie to Mr. Kempt, Chief Officer,'
who, coming upon deck, observed the smoke ascend-
ing in great columns from all the hatchways. The
night was excessively dark, and Mr. Kempt, with a
presence of mind not common on such distressing'
occasions, immediately hailed all the ships around
him, viz. the Cruizer, Teignmouth, which was lying!
close to the Ardaseer, and his Majesty's ship Iphige-
nia, &c. and at the same, time sent the 3d officer, Mr.
Asksvith, on shore to acquaint the Captain with the
state of the ship.
During this time, and before any assistance was
derived, the fire was spreading very quick near th
main hatchway, and the gun-deck, full of thick black
smoke. Immediate preparations had seemingly been
making in the fleet, for rendering all requiste assis-
tance, as in the course of ten minutes after the gene-
ral alarm by Mr. Kempt, considerable aid was de-
rived by the arrival of men from the Iphigenia,
Teignmouth, and Chiffonne. Capt. Wainwright, of
the latter, attended in person with 100 men, and
brought a seasonable supply of buckets, with an en-
gine, which were all set to work with alacrity.. Capt.
W. on learning that the fire had made such a rapid
progress, advised five auger holes to be bored, as close
to the water as possible. The crew of the Ardiseer
had been roused to their duty, and efforts were
making by every one to keep the fire under. Before
midnight, Captain Riddock had arrived on board,
and brought with him a large engine from the shore,
which was also set to work with great spirit ; and in
order that its effects might be received with more ad-
vantage, the gun deck was scuttled in three different
places, and which, for a time, was attended with great
benefit.
The fire, however, notwithstanding all these stre-
nuous exertions, increased, and the sudden bursts of
flame which issued out of the hold, together with the
quantity of smoke, rendered it difficult to continue
those exertions in the same degree with which they
commenced. A little after twelve, at midnight, Mr.
Money, superintendant of marine ; Capt. Margotty,
master attendant ; and Mr. Mack, his first assistant,
made their appearance on board, to render all the As-
sistance in their power. The engines had now been
playing for a considerable time, and, notwithstanding
-the quantity of water derived from this source and
the hand-buckets, and every other method devised to
keep the fire under* it was found that this destructive
element still gained ground; and, as all further ex-
ertions in this way could be of no avail, it was resol-
ved, upon the consultation of Capt. Wainwright,,Mr.
Money, the Master Attendant, and Capt. Riddock,
that the ship should be instar.tly scuttled, which re-
solution was immediately carried into execution, by
the carpenters of the Iphigenia and ,Chiffonne, as the
last resort for saving any part of the ship or cargo.—
The guns were accordingly brought over to star-
board, and the stream and spare anchors cut away
from the larboard side, in order to facilitate this ser-
vice, and admit a ready flow of water.
During the time these operations were going for-
ward, the Master-Attendant. with much diligence,
',laid a hawser out to check file ship in shore, and pre-
,.vent her sinking in deep water. At gun-fire, Captain
Wainwright, with his men, left the ship ; and at the
same time Mr. Money, whose anxiety to preserve her
valuable remains, had been conspicuous throughout,
sent on shore for the master-builder, and a gang of
carpenters, to scuttle her in various places, that she
Might fill as quickly as possible : at five in the morn-
ing the buckets and engine belonging to the Master-
attendant, were also sent for, and immediately set to
work. The people were now engaged in throwing
and starting water down the hatchway, the effects of
which, together with the benefit derived from scut-
tling were perceptible, as the ship was sradually

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

THE Advantage the Public must always derive
from regularly educated profes►ional men directing almost
exclusively their studies to one species of malady, was never more
clearly demonstrated than by the unexampled success which has
attended the aJministration•of their new remedy, and the extrace-
dissary cures it has performed. Fat a long series of yean.Meurs.
Cuallli and Co. Surgeons, formerly in his Majesty's service, have
made the Venereal Disease the particular object of their investi•
pilots, and ire happy in having discovered a medicine superior no
mercury, in the cure of that complaint; it is sufficient to observe,
that the effects of this remedy are dianaetrically opposite to those
of mercury, for though it completely eradicates every vestige of
the yin:l4,in its most confirmed stages, yet it does not in the least
injure the constitution ; on the contrary, it renotates the system
in all its natural functions, promotes appetite, and facilitates di.
gestion ; thus instead of reducing a strong and vigorous °pastas.
tion to the frightful condition that mercury does, it not only pre•
serves that constitution in its primitive state, but restores a Wilk
and debilitated one to its natural strength and vigour: Number-
lees instances are on recent record of the superior efficacy faith's
medicine, its inherent and spetifie virtues acting as a perpetual
carrectivk to bodily debility; whether proceeding from an ere*

not less destructive, inzkaltenee of incautious youth of both Fail
in a certain pernicious habit. Amidst•the melancholy variety of
disorders which are the consequence of this solitary vice, those art
none more afflicting than that digressing state of debility and de-
ficiency which prevents or embitters the matrimonial state; the
unhappy sufferer broods over his misfortune, ashamed to seek re-
lief, until he is reduced to such a state of weakness MP to render
life oppressive. To such persons it must be a consoling reflec-
tion to know, that they may now, by a new infallible mode of
treatment, be restored to that greatest of all humanblessings, a
strong, manly and vigorous constitution.
