DUMFRIES, JAW. 22.

•
Wesel Chrheopitkr.Maxwell transmitted( lately, rd. -sterling to
the liev. Thomas Turnbull, for the benefit of the moss necessitous
of the po.r of Anwoth. At the same time, else same Dentietatan
sent D. to at poor of Gordian ; and his gift was net the less wel
come, that the donor has almost no connection with the latter
parish. A farther donation of D. was received iWM James Yoe:
sumo East of Caatramond ; and no OW New Year's Day, when
the above stints were carefully applied, the hearts of both old and
young, the lonely widow, and the helpless orphan, were made for a,
season to sing for joy.
Lady Anne Murray, Independently of other deeds of mercy, has
endowed for several years past a Charity School, and clothed, as
well as educated, twenty-four poor girls, selected from the most
deserving families of the parish. The children are taught to reed,
write, knit, and sew • an elderly female watches over their im•
provement in knowledge and morality; and under her care, and
that of her truly coneklerate patroness, much good is done to the

4 generation.
The tempestuous weather described in our last, ap-
pears to have been felt with great severity over the
whole South of Scotland and North of England.
The gale of Sunday week was quite awful while it
lasted, at Strantaer. The wind at first seemed to sit in
the South, but it soon veered round to the North, and
for hours blew a perfect hurricane: Lochryan Bay was
fearfully agitated ; and the tide, over leaping its former
boundaries, came tolling onward with a degree of fury
that seemed to threaten destruction to the whole town.
Boats upset and otherwise injured, batteries partially
broken down, and walls totally demolished, bore wit-
qsass to the height and strength of the tide, and had it
glowed half an hoar longer, many houses must have
been levelled to the ground. As it was, many families
had to abandon their dwellings; and in one instance,
where the inmates appeared determined to brave every
danger, they bad to be dragged out by main force. Orr
she same day, the schooner Lady bli•Kentie, from Li-1
terpool to Limerick, was stranded in - Lochryan, and
.bas received mach injury in her .hold.
Crawick water, in the neighbourbood.of Sanquhar,
rose to a very alarming height. By 3 o'clock onSunday
morning, it had flooded all the lower story of the
carpet manufactory—a spot which it never approached
before: The Nith, too, foamed, roared, and boiled, even
very near its source; and the shepherds aver that w
high a 11,:od bas not been seen since Se, masher 1815.
Of the large wooden bridge across tte Nith, scarcely a
vestige is left remaining; and it is meljayaboly to ob-
serve the number of drowned sheep wkils have beets
cast ashore, not to mention a great varsity of other
wrecks.—As the with rose very suddenly, a number
hates, that acre quietly cropping the , holms aroufid,
found them elves beleagured on all sides, and ran about
squeaking from terror, without finding the means of
escape. Some of them had the sagacity to climb to the
top of peat stacks; but other, were less fortunate,.*
after the flood had-subsided, some dozens of them wet*
lound drowned. la one instance, a large coley of,
partridges shared the fate of the poor hares—an acci-
dent we are much puzzled to account for. Partridges
have wings as well as legs, and if they had spread tireit
pinions toneously and properly, they. migirthave crossed
the Solway in place of the Nail.

. .
At Gleueaple Quay the storm raged with prodigious
fury. and the harbour of that pleasant little port never
suffered so much damage during the last. 35 years.—
The masonry of the Quays was most rudely assailed;
and it will require a heavy expense, and no small la-
bour, belore they tan be placed in dales quo. The em-
bankments have suffered little injury—no bad proof of
the skit' and, judgment with which they were formed;
bat the roads and path-ways skirting the Nith have
been so deeply ratted in some plates, that they will re-
quire to undergo a thorough repair.--DerefrieaCeirrier.

By the Harmonic, arrived in the Tezel, advices to
the 20th of September have been received from Bata.
via. Dopo Negoro, the chief of the insurgents, had kept
op a menacing position, but had not recently effected
any movement of importance, and as the rainy season,
which usually lasts four months, was on the point of
commencing, a respite was afforded to the Dutch putho.
rities to take energetic measures for the defence of their
best colony. The old Sultan of D'Jocsrta, lately re.
'eased from his long confinement, in the expectation of
obtaining thereby his mediation with the insutgents,had
been sent. accompanied by two Dutch officers, to his
Ifottner capital, but the result had not transpired. A
'reinforcement of Dutch troops, about 750 in number,l
had arrived at Batavia; the garrison at Padang had
been sent for, and were shortly expected; and a Dutch
ship had been spoken with by the Harmonic, near the
Straits of Anjier with more troops on board.
Eleven hundred and fifty persons have presented them-
selves ibis week at the Mendicity Society.

Yesterday after noon, as a number of young men were'
engaged knocking a bung about on the Tower-ditch,'
and collecting in a great body, near the Bastion, facing'
the Minories, the ice suddenly gave way, and three of
them were immersed in the water. Every assistance
was immediately used to liberate them: two of them
were got out by means of a ladder pushed to the spot;
the third, after a quarter of an boor's exertion, was got
out in an exhausted state.

• When the large Cistern in the vicinity of Cork Bar-
racks was finished, it was proposed that the Garrison'
should turn out in full review orderon a certain day,
to celebrate the completion of so fine a work, the bands
of the different corps playing " Goa save the King."
No, said an Officer of punning notoriety—the Overture
to Tancredi (Tank ready).

•Wwitber of the paupers of Bishops:ate parish appeared,
dowsphin of ttair Overseen, and, what was more remarkable,
of the Overseers came to meet their complaints, and met them
usefully. The paupers, by one of their number, named gm,
-Mated, that they had been employed by the parish to break non
fir Macatiainizing the roads, and had been alkweed I 1..64, pre da
for it. This was barely enough to keep body and roil togetlits'
but they feted to do as well as they could with u. At
however, their Overseers altered their agreement, and paid
only by the square yard for the stone they broke. At this
they could only get 3d. per day, and his Lordship must be
that there was no keeping life in a man with such a sum as
llopgood, in reply, declared the whole of those now

that the longer this allowance was continued, the less work
done. 7 hey were then put upon piecework, and were ado
3..6d. per square yard. A man, who made himself ellkient at t,
work, could break a square yard of stones per day; and if the so
skilled worked diligently, they might break baba yard of renew
day, which would produce a sum by no means bad in these •'-
The paupers said the work hurt them.
Mr. White declared that the only evil with which they s
flirted was indolence. His eon had watched them in the yard

hammer and broke his own. A number of the others followed
example, and broke their hammers. They returned to the
house, and said their hammers were not fit to work with.
