DOVER, JANUARY 17.

It has blown most ti:entendously during last night,
and we expect to hear of a great deal of damage ;
there is an English brig on shore, and partly de-1
stroyed, near Estapies, on the French coast, and some
!or all of the people are lost. L'Abundance, No. 17,
French fishing,-boat, came on shore near the Pier this
morning, at six, the people arc all providentially
saved ; the vessel after beating over a bank of
shingle, and rolling her mast overboard, and every
thing movable, has been towed into the natural new
harbour. Several vessels have bore up for the
Downs, all nearly under bare poles.
Ji-NVARY 18.—It still continues to blow with great
fury. The bar has risen to a great height within the
harbour's mouth, near:y 50 yards long and Aye feet
perpendicular, equal to half the height of water for
the flags'being hoisted fur vesse:s to come in.

PORT GLASGOW, JANITARYI7.
• Arrived in the Clyde, on the 15th instant, the
American ship Fanny, FOREMAN, from York, in 20
days: on the Bth instant, fell in with the brig Lavi-
nia, ROBINS, of Paole, from Newlonndland to Cadiz,
a complete wreck, and took the M..i..ter, Mate, and
two seamen oW, being all that remained of the crew.
The weather still continues very tempestuous, and
we understand several vessels are on shore in the
river and on the coast; but it appears the greatest
part of them are coasting vessels, and that very few
lives were lost.

very heavy sea off the Pier-head and her distressed
state, she must inevitably have been lost, had it not
been for the timely assistance and strenuous exer-

MANairsTER wrrING, FOR REMON
STRANCE AGAIN,ST mg CORN LIWS.

MANCAESTRR, JANUARY is,

The day of anticipated mischief has passed over;
and Mr. liusT, whatever may have been his errors
at other places, conducted himself in a manner highly
praiseworthy—instead of inciting the multitude, he
took much pains to repress the popular furor. Mr.,
litmr arrived at Ardwick, near this town, a little
before civet: this forenoon, in an open baroucheijit-
eompanied by three private friends. At this Pia
he was met by a deputation of the Reformers from
this town, who, commiserating the hacks in his car-
riage, unyoked them from their harness, and them-.
selves buckled to, to convey "the conqueridg hero"
to the place of rendezvous.

About eleven o'clock Mr. HUNT arrived at Ard-
wick, (as is before observed), in an open landau, ac-
companied by his friends : here a deputation of the
Reformers from this town joined the procession, and
proceeded through the town. About half-past eleven,
accompanied all the way by repeated buzzes from
the assembled thousands, she crowd reached the
arena (St. Peter's Fields).
Mr. HUNT first mounted the hustings ; and, after
thanking them for the honour they had conferred on
him in their Requisition for his attendance, and in
their unanimous election of him to fill the Chair,
begged that no one would attempt to interrupt the
proceeding of the Meeting by calling silence,"
which he had ever found to he the greatest annoy-
ance. He then alluded to the Boroughrceve having
refused to call the Meeting on the Requisition which
had been presented to him ; and remarked, that they
.were called together as legally and constitutionally
as if the Municipal Authorities had been present.—
• Some Gentlemen (Mr. IIuNT observed) had pro-'
posed a Petition—a Petition to that Muse of Corn-
mons, which, when last assembled, had kicked their
prayers and petitions out of doors. Would they sub-
mit again to petition that House ?—or would they,
come forward as men—as Englishmen—and demand
their rightsr—(there tht. word Remonstrance, frOm
the assembled thousands, drowned the voice of the'
Orators and it was finally agreed that a Remon-
strance to the Pnixer REGENT should supersede the
Petition that had been prepared. A Remonstrance
was quickly brought forward, and unanimously
adopted.)--Seeiag some of the 7fn Hussars on the
ground, Mr. HUNT begged the people would not,'
offer them any insult ; they were their countrymen—
and however a sense of duty Might compel them to
act contrary to the general weal, they were Britons
and could not help feeling as Englishmen. " Where-
ever I go (said Mr. Iluvr), Government alv..ays do
me the honour to protect me by a strong military
guard." Mr. 1-TeNT concluded by strenucusly en-
forcing the necessity of a prompt and efficient muster
Of the Friends of Reform, in order to counteract the
mischievous attempts that were secretly making to
undermine their liberties ; and expressed his detesta-
tion of the odious Corn Bill (v.hich he tritely deno-
minated the Starvation Law)—the repeal of which
was the object of their present assembling.

Messrs. KNIGHT, rcHELL, OGDEN, and others,
who stand at the head of the Manchester Reformers,
followed Mr. HUNT ; but their speeches, though
lengthy, did not excite much interest: and about four
o'clock the Meeting broke up, when the Orators and
their friends were escorted in the same order of pro-
cession in which they had entered the Town, to the
Spread Eagle, in Hanging-ditch; where a substantial
dinner was served up to upwards of two hundred,
and where I now leave them, as happy as Sir John
Barleycorn and English gin can make them.
Young COBBFTT did not find it convenient to at-
tend the Meeting.
It is the most pleasing part of this business to state,
that not the least disposition to riot or turbulence
was evinced, nor was there any personal insult of-
fered to any individual whatever. The owners of
the principal Cotton Mills (whether well or ill ad-
vised I will not pretend to say) locked their men in
at the dinner-hour, and let them out an hour earlier
this evening!---'llis certainly kept many thousands
from the place of meeting.

Colonel Wittunr, of the Royal Engineers, has ar-
rived at Cork, to embark for Ceylon, to asume the
command of the Royal Engineer Department of that
Settlement.

DECIT.UCTIVE Fritz.—An alarming and destructive fire broke
out on Monday evening at liuntingford, on the Cambridge road.
The flames, when observed, spread rapidly from two farm-yards,
which were soon demolished, wish several cottages adjohing.
lbe back part of the Bell Inn narrowly escaped its ravag,,s. At
one time the utmost terror and slams prevailed for the safety of
a number of horses, but fortunately, by the firm perseverance
and prompt exertions of a great number of the inhabitants, they
succeeded in removing the whole of the animals from the stables,
and placed them in security without any accident. The York
snail was detained for some time on the occasion, before they
could change horses. The Postmaster, we regret to state, has
suffered a most serious loss ; about 200 loads of corn and live fat
hogs have fallen a sacrifice to the devouring element. The bre re-
miainedburning at one o'clock yesterday morning withtbe greatest

MEETING AT THE CROWN AND ANCHG.?

Yesterday a Meeting nt the Crown and
Anchor Tavern to ceichr;:te the lest,lt of the aef ivn
WARD V. CLEMENT ; although only two days pst-
vious notice had been given, above 150 Gentler:4-n
sat down to dinner.

Mr. A ITIt who wits unr,uimntt 1y cailod to
the Chair, proposed the fnllt,win loa ;!•,:
" Tli.,Sovertignry of tile People.--" The Liberty of the Puri
—long mai it iurtive to promulg4te prire:pLs thAt

—" Fraticii; Wa..J—may he live long to enjoy his triutni h, and
may future Morreers learn to obtetve inlirirtiality and to rerevi
faithfully."--" The imparti,d Jury that rrtsided at the triA
W.tuto r.

Upon the health of Francis Ward being drank with
three times three, the CuatamaN described the cha-
racter and conduct of Mr. Ward in very impressive
terms; and Mr.Warc!, in returning thanks. expressed
in the plain but emphatical language of honest feei-
ing, the imputations cast upon his character for the
first time in his life, on his arrest by .Ministers, w•it'l
the injury wh:eis his industry and family had incon-
sequence suffered.
On the toast of the trial by Jury. the CHAIR:4AI4
dwelt upon the extraordinary exertions of Mr. rm..-
son, the Solicitor for Mr. Ward, to purify the system
of Special Juries in London. He observed, that pre-
vious to these exertions, the .Special Jury list con-
sisted of about five or six hundred persons, each of
whom derived an annual revenue from serving en
such Juries, and none were summoned a second
time who.did not find for the Crown. But through
Mr. Pearson, all who had a right were placed on this
list ; the disciplined tr..nd was broken ; amid hence,
he would say,' arose the acquittals of Wooler an.l
Hones as well as the recent verdict in favour of Mr.
Ward. The conduct of Mr. Pearson, he therefore
deemed peculiarly meritorious. The Worthy Gen-
tleman concluded with proposing The Health of Mr.
Charles Pearson, who•has moved, that although Jus-
tice must pay dearly for admission into a Court of
Law, her claims are sure to be allowed by an inde-
pendent British Jury," which was drank with three
times three.

Mr. PEARSON, in returning thanks, detailed the
result of his inquiries at Noqingli trn, with respect
the conduct, ciiar.!,:ter, and suircri,,gs of ?F. Ward.
He round that Mr. Ward had a must e:::eilent c:ia-
racter at Nottingham, for religion, morality, indus-
try, humanity, and economy, among those who had
known him for a period of twenty-eight years. Yet
thit meritorious individual was confined in a damp
cell, seven feet tmdet ground ; and he could not dis-
cover any cause • for this honest man's committal to
such a place, but that he demanded from the Not-
tinghain Magistrates, with the firmness which became
an Englishman, some explanation of the reason.: f;,r
breaking into his house on pretence of searching for
arms. The case of such a man was, in his opintol,
deserving, not onlrof the present generation, but the
recollection of his sufferings should descend as an
heir-loom to our posterity, whose duty it would be,
as it was our's, to avenge his manifold wrongs.
After drinking " the health. of Messrs. Hanson,
Holme.:, and Cliff,"
linosvENost HANsON returned thants in a vets.
eloquent speech, and &scribed in tl:e niiAt Fathetic
terms the fate of James Rirkin and Samuel klayne,
of Derby, who fell victims to the rigour of the ir.t-
prisonmeta under the Suspension of the Habeas Cor•
pus Act, at Lincoln Castle—the one dying t% ithin
five weeks after his lilhent!ion, and the other within
about four months, and both leaving famines to
mourn their irteparable loss. Mr. Hanson, ia ob-
serving upon the falsehood of the Ministerial libel
circulated against his character, stated, that althoues
he was said in that libel to have been present at a
treasonous meeting at Nottingham on the 27th of
I May, 1817, and at another meeting there on the 9th
June following, plotting an attack upon the Castle
of Nottingham, he Was actually in custody, and a
prisoner in Coldbath-fields, from the 11th s.f April
preceding. This fact must, he thought, sufficiently
convince every candid man of the falsehood of the
charges promulgated against himself and his fellow-
prisoners.
Mr. CLIFF returned thanks in a concise speech.
Mr..Hoi.stes, in returning thanks, stated some in-
teresting particulars connected with Oliver's visit to
Nottingham. That spy, he said, endeavoured, by all
the artifices in his power, to incite the people to in-
surrection, representing himself as the missionary of
Sir Francis Burdett, Major• Cartwright, and Sir *lic-
hen Wilson, adding, that W the people of Notting-
ham did not rise, they would be sacrificed by the
Yorkshire people, who were already in a state of in-
surrection, while the people of London were on the
.. • .

point of rising. Such indeed was the language v.-hich
Oliver used to the infatuated Brandreth, with whom

he communicated at Nottingham. But he f, Z. 17.
Holmes), from his. first communication -sith

suspected his o::Aives and object, from that person's
equivocal conduct and extrerce violence; therefore
he endeavoured to impress Ws suspicion upon others,
whom this artful spy was, by various means, seeking
to delude; and to that endeavour only he conscien-
tiously believed thatlit own arrest and imprisonrnert
were attributable.
The health of Mr. Wooler being drank, upon ehe
proposition of Mr. Cleat y, that Gentleman returned
thanks in an eloyent speech ; as did t e Chairman,
when his health was drank upon tl e p 'position cf
Mr. Wooler.—The company broke up ..- 11 o'clock.

bly Rooms, Fork, tcs commena-7ate the virtues and
