CHATH.CII, JANUARY 9.

So great is the quantity of ice in the River, that
business is almost put to a stand. It was intended
to take into dock to-day the Fit EY A ; but the 'rearm- I
cuone could sot Ise put out, as it was impossible to
get the gates open for that purpose. From the same
cause the PRINCESS or ORANGE will be prevented get-
ting into dock, except the frost should break up,
which there is an appearance of this evening. The
Deptford lighters are detained here, and the HELDER
and URGENT are prevented coming up the Reach se
-far as was intended.—The officers and clerks will be
paid their quarter's salary to-morrow ; the artificers
are, it is expected, to be paid next week.

FROM LLOYD'. LIST.

GRAVIES, /4 n, lAR.lo.—Arrived the Commerce. Holiday, and
William, M'Clowde, from quebec ; and the Minerva, —,
from Ilonderas.—Sailed the Jenny, Myers, for Lisbon; Hibernia,
Lennon, for St. Thninas's ; and the Adonis, Parker, for Cork.

lan. I I.—Sailed the Milford Indianian for India.

ARRIVM-At Liverpool, Roxalana, Shilling', from Smyrna ;
and the Margaret, Jonas, from Quebec. At Belfast, Eagle, Gilby,
from Nova Scotia.

The Turk, Captain STF.PREKR, is arrived from Ali-
cant at Ss lire's, in distress. She is bound for Bristol,
laden with wool, and has made a short passage, but
the letters by her have not yet reached town.
The New Astley, STOKER, from London to Yar-
mouth, is on More at the latter port.
Captain BRADLEY, of the Kangaroo, has delivered
into the Custom-house, at Newhaven, seven bales of
cotton, marked W. Hampton," and two without
any mark, which he picked up at sea, between Dun-
geness and Beachy Head, and about four leagues
from the land,supposed to he part ofthe cargo of some
vessel that has foundered in the late gales.
The vessel driven on shore in Westgate Bay, sear
Margate, on Saturday last, is the Resource, from V-
alentia bound to London ; the account of the crew
having perished, is unfounded, as they were all lan-
ded without injury, and are, together with many or
the Margaret boatmen, who, braving the violence of
the storm, went to their assistance, now under qua-
rantine in a barn in the vicinity. A wreck, however,
supposed to have been a foreign vessel, has been
washed up in two part's in the Bay adjoining ; the
crew of which, it is feared have perished, "p no ac-
t counts have been received of them.

In the storm on Saturday se'nnight, the Hoylake
life-boat, in attempting to succour and relieve the
people on board the ship Traveller, driven on shore
in the Mersey, was over,whzlmed by a dreadful sea,
and eight out of ten of her crew were unfortunately
drowned. The bodies were all found the same day,
and carried to their respective homes, where a scene
of piercing misery was• witnessed, which defies all
power of expression. The deceased were all near
neighbours, and lived in a small village called the
Home, near Hoylake, in the most brotherly kindness
—these brave fellows were the flower of the Hoylake
fishermen, and had always displayed the greatest
promptitude and alacrity in assisting vessels in dis-
tress. They have left large families totally unpro-
vided for.

Tue TuAw.—This beneficent change, which com-
menced on Thursday, has already nearly dissipated the
appearance of frost in the neighbourhood of the me-
tropolis ; and the streets and roads, which only two ,
days since were covered with ice and drifted snow,
now assttme a new appearance, while the mild tem-
perature of the atmosphere seems, as it were, in-
sensibly to have born us on easy wings freni the
frozen mountains of the Alps to the more genial
vales of Italy. The frost which we have rape-
'
rienced, though of short duration, must be allowed
to have been intense 1 and had it continued much
longer, undoubtedly would hare greatly inconve- '
nienced the merchant, and distressed the poor, as
the navigation of the Thames was nearly impeded.
—.--Yesterday morning, in particular, the appear-
' ante of it was terrific to the eye of the passenger ;
while the immense number of logs of timber, of
boats, end of barges, which had been released from
their places of sectuity by the ice, and which were
seen strewed aver the River, might give some faint
idea of the appearance of a sea shore after a destruc-
t •
ttve storm.
The River,with the flue and influx of the tides,pre-
sented a most beautiful picture of a sea interspersed
with an endless variety of basin islands.
