at Madras, will be removed to Ceylon early in neat
month.
No less than ten American vessels had arrived in
ballast at Calcutta, in the course of July, for the pur-
pose of obtaining cargoes at that port.

A small brig was seen to go down off Scarborough
on the 27th ultimo, with all her crew; since which a
fishing coble of that port, hauling her lines near the
spot, brought up a drowned sailor, and a red vane.
with two waite balls in the middle, which appeared
nearly new, the tin of it was painted white and quite
fresh.
The brigantines Hartley and Wolaington, of North
Shields, trom London, in ballast, run on shore to the
southward of Sunderland, 30th ultimo - the former

Greenock, Dec. 28, 1815.

POETICAL PRESCRIPTION.—A Gentleman having
called upon a triei d„ with whom he found two physi-
cians, at nos departure left the following, scribbled on
the back of a letter, on his dressing table:—
By one physician might your work be done,
But two are likes double barren! gun' •
From one discharge sometimes a bird has sown,
The second barrel always brings it down!
The Park of -Terveureu, which, with a suitable
Palace, it has been determined by the Chamber of
the States to confer on the Prince of ORANGE, in me.
'nary of nil participation in the glorious battle of
Waterloo, is situated in the s' dark wood" of Soignies,
AO picturesquely described by Mr. WALTER SCOTT--
Where the tali beeches' glossy bough,
For many a league around,
With birch, and darksome oak between,
Spreads deep and far a pathless screen
Of tangled forest ground
From this secluded retreat, a short ride will bring him
to the scene of an event so memorable in his own life,
and so transcendently important in the history of En-
ro-;e. It was through the forest of Soignies that
the Prussian troops came Out at the critical moment
which deciii::•l, if not 'the fate of situ battle, certainly
the character of the victory.
Some of the American writers, though they look
forward with the utmost inhumanity to the total ex-
tinction of the Creek Indians, publish the following
energetic explstulation of their persecuted opponents:
44 Where will you stop" said a Creek warrior-
-44 Yen nave made us remove from the lands of our
forefathers, which were on the banks 'of the Great
Waters [the sea]. Our feet bad but just ceased being
weary with fatigue, and our heads bad just laid down
to.rest on our new lands, when you still further en.
croached upon us; and now you bid us begin our
journey again. But some of our chiefs are worn
down with age, and our mothers are old and want
rest, and we would have settled at home. Better
would it be to put an end to all of us, so that our
blond should no longer run in the veins of any living
creature."—This affecting lament, this cdunsel of
despair given by the Indian warrior is coolly recom-
mended in an article in one of these American Papers.
4,4'here appears to be a perverseness in that tribe,
tffit must sooner or later terminate in the total ex-
tinguishment of it, and as the recent clemency of our
trooiis seems to have been misunderstood, it is pro-
bable such measures will be taken as will remove all
cause for future drafts of the militia for the purpose
of preserving peace on that frontier."
I SIPROVASIN Ta AT BRIGHTON—Monday the scaffold-
ing was erected before the houses on the North side
of Castle-square, which the workmen immediately
commenced pulling down, in order to enlarge and,
improve the South entrance of the Pavilion. The
Conimissioneis fur the tuwn readily accede to the
wishes of the PRINCE REGENT for , the further im.
provement of Brighton. In a few years the entrance
down North-street will command a beautiful view of
the Steine and St. James's-street, which at present is,
obscured by the projection of the.C.astle Tavern. The
North Steine is to be enclosed and ornamented with
shrubberies, and a handsome pelisading erected round,
isle brder to correspond with the Pavilion grounds.—
. Wednesday, a meeting of the inhabitants was held
at the Old Ship Tavern, to carry into effect the pro-
bacted improvements on the road. to the metropolis,
y a new cut from Gaston Lodge (the entrance of
Sir Mark Wood's Park) through the valley, carrying
it in a direct line to Pavey Cross, thereby saving in
that short tract full two miles. This measure will
open a conimunicatiun to another excellent road, re-
cently made through Balcombe, which will shorten
the distance four miles between this town and Lon-
don, besides avoiding all hills on the road, particu-
larly the dangerous one near Reigate. This improve-
rnent bang a:ready sanctioned by the illustrious Patron
at oil, nearly the whole of the motley required
fur its completion was soon subscribed.
A greyhound bitch, belonging to Mr. KING, of
Lewes, in running a hate hard, broke one of her legs,
and in that state continued the pursuit as long as she
valid get a sight of the hare, which afterwards cross-
ed her, on being turned by the other dog, when she
sprung forward, anti made another effort to seize poor
puss, but in vain, as she tell in the attempt, and thus
gave ample proof of the staunchness of her breed, toi
the admiration of her owner, and all present.
BOXING. —The fight between lifitiiteux and Ma-
sk:Km. which was to have taken_ place near Belfast,
on the 26th of December, was stopped by the inter-,
Jame of a Magistrate.

-THE WEATHER.

. GcasoowiDae. 30.—The thaw, which commen-
ced on Thursday, has continued. During yesterday
and last night there was a very heavy fall of rain-, ac-
companied with a strong westerly wind. The Clyde
has risen to a great height. The Low Green, Bri4ge-
gate, and other places on the north bank of the river
are covered, several feet deep, with water. It is one
wide expanse of water from the buildings at Broomie-
law, where, on the pavement, the water is eighteen
inches deep, to Clyde Buildings, on the south side
of the river ; and at nine o'clock this morning a
skiff was employed as a ferry boat. People are.
taken by horse and can to the top of the New
Bridge from Jamaica ttreet, and to the Old Bridge
from Stockwell-street; but a land passage to the
former is got by Maxwell-street and Clyde-street;
The flood began to abate this morning about seven
o'clock. It fell about five inches; but appears to be
again rising. At its greatest height, at midnight, it
was set inches lower than the flood on the 12th of
March, 1782 ; and S feet 6j inches lower than the
Moor of the public offices. The timber-bridge re-
mains entire, although the current runs with uncom-
mon velocity. Several vessels are Boating on the top
of the quay at the Broomielaw ; and yesterday two
steam-boats were forced from their anchorage, and
impelled down the stream. It is however ex-
pected that, before the flood subsides, the stranded
vessels will be got off. The consternation and
alarm which this flood has, occasioned to the
poor people, who chiefly inhabit the lower part of
the town are very great; and many of their houses
will be rendered uninhabitable for a considerable time.
We believe that a subscription will be set on foot for
their relief. The Edinburgh mail, which arrives be-
tween five and siz o'clock, did not reach Glasgow till
ten o'clock this forenoon. The storminess of the night
retarded its progress. The coach bad only got to the
;di mile stone, (near the Almond water), when the
horses were unable to proceed, from the water over-
flowing the road, and carrying along with it vast
sheets of ice. The guard and the driver took the
horses from the coach, and with great difficulty reach-
ed a neighbouring house, (where they obtained assist-
ance and fresh horses. The passengers, five in num-
ber, were taken from the coach on horseback. At
one o'clock they proceeded on their journey, leaving
the coach, as they were enable, from the depth of
the water, to remove it. In the darkness of the night,
and amid the general dismay, the flood carried off one
of the coach horses. At Linlithgow, a horse for the
bags, and a chaise for the passengers" were obtained.
The London mail arrived on Thursday and last
night at eight o'clock.
Wednesday, during the prevalence of the drifting
snow, John Gillies, an aged shepherd in Falbae, in
the parish of Parton, went out to look after the flocks
under his charge. He visited his home no more;
next day his body was fodnd in a moss.
Wednesday, Andrew and John Hamilton, carriers,
between Glasgow and Lesmahagow, were found dead
about a mile to the westward ot Lesmahagow. They
had been riding in their cart, and the horses having
gone off the road, went over the ledge of a bridge :
they were found both lyitig under the cart; the horse
was also killed. These men were brothers, and each
of them has left a wife and six children to lament
their melancholy loss.
NEWCASTLIC-UPON-Twin•-•0011 of the most serious
Roods took place in the river Tyne, that has hap-
pened since the yearl77l, when the old bridge, from
this town to Gateshead, with a number of houses on
that erection, were carried away. During Friday
and Friday night the wind blew a perfect hurricane ,
from the west and south-west ; this had the effect of
suddenly thawing the immense accumulations of
NOW and ice all along the banks of the Tyne to the
westward ; the consequence was, that early on Sa-
turday mottling the river- came rushing down an ir-
resistible torrent, overflowing the banks in its pas-
sage, and sweeping away every thing that opposed
its course, or came within its vortex. Timber, boats,
keels, casks, hay, &c. &c. were brought down in ra-
pid succession ; and a cottage house that stood con-
tiguous to the river, together with some byres for
cattle, &c. we hear, were totally swept from their si-
tuations. The accumulation of articles was so great
at our bridge, that serious apprehensions were for-
med at one time for that noble structure ; and had it
not possessed more than usual strength, there is little
doubt bat we should have witnessed the destruction
of part of it. Three ot the arches next the south end
were almost totally chocked with keels and rafts of
timber for the whole of Saturday, and it was with the
utmost difficulty that they were removed. Another
arch was also completely closed at the nerds end,
where a keel was laid across, with her head and stern
resting on two of the jetties. A man and a boy, who
went with others to endeavour to get her off, were
drowned. The effects of the gale and thaw have
been equally disastrous at Shieldit—Friday even-
ing, about six o'clock, several vessels at the bead of
the haibour were set adrift by the pressure of ice,
and it beginning to blow violently about eleven, a
great number parted from their anchors, and were
driven upon the Herd Sand ; but all ot them have
since been got off. Two ships were driven out to
sea, and several keels, six of which were seen off
Flambro' Head on Saturday. Fourteen ships lost
their bowsprits, and were otherwise much damaged.
On Saturday a new vessel (we believe from Berwick)
broke from her moorings, and sunk in sight of the
harbour. The good effects of chain cables were in
this case particularly experienced, those moored with
them remaining safe. A boat upset in which were
five men, four ot whom are supposed to be drowned ;
the one saved caught a rope belonging to a vessel
near, and was, with the utmost difficulty, of on
board. Two boys came on shore from a >p be-
longing to lilyth, but on returning, the boat upset,
when they were both drowned ; one of the bodies
Was found on Sunday near the Low Lights. We
hear, that by the violence of the current :a South
Tyne, two of the arches of Haydon Bridge have
been destroyed. Great damage has also been done
by this storm, on the banks ot the Wear and Tees.
Daring the gale on Friday night, a windmill, neat
Bishopweannouth, ran amain, took fire from the Inc.
tion, and was totally destroyed.
CARLISLio Dieczaman 31.—Yesterday afternoon, a
horse with a saddle and bridle on it, was seen to pass
under Caldew Bridge, from which it was feared that
some rider bad perished, in attempting, to erpp the
Weer, now swan like a deluge.

ingBTHINSTEh 414110Atf.
Yesterday these Sessions commenced before W.
WATSON. Esq. and a Bench of Magistrates.
Mr. Samuel Ellis was indicted for an assault on the
person of Richard Whale, on the 26th July. The
witnesses for the plaintiff stated, that on the day in
question he was going to take a load of timber to a
Mr. Brooks, at Mr. Ellis's Wharf, near Strand-lane.
The defendant seeing plaintiff attempting to bring
the barge up, stepped into it, collared him, and threw
him down, and, had it not been for the obstruction of
some parts of the timber, he must have Weft into
the Thames.
Mr. Atinarws addressed the Jury in behalf of the
defendant, and called four respectable witnesses, who
proved that Mr. Ellis advised the complainant not to
insist upon bringing up the barge, alleging that it
would be a violation of the River Laws, as the wharf
was only calculated to hold one barge at a time.
The Jury found the defendant guilty, and the Court
sentenced him to pay a fitie of Is. and be discharged.
Christopher Harris was indicted for keeping a dis-
orderly house at No. 10, Broad-court, Long Acre.
The Jury found him guilty, but the Court did not
pass judgment.
William Smith was indicted for assaulting three her-
culean watchmen, named Foyer, Hopkins, and
George. All these great Goliahs swore, that on the
15th of October, about half-past twelve in the morn-
ing, their ears were assailed by the cries of an infant;
they accordingly were attracted to the spot from
whence the cries proceeded, and near Northumber-
land-street they saw the defendant beating the child
in a most outrageous manner. Th-y expostulated
with him upon the brutality of his conduct, at
which he made no more to do than to knock them all
down, and beat them so severely that each carried
away a mark of his superior prowess in the fistic art.
The defendant, in his defence, said he was returning
home a little inebriated, in company with an acquain-
tance named Mrs. Fitch, who had two children, who
were in Court ; he took up one of them, and preten-
ded to carry it from its mother, when it began to cry.
Mrs. Fitch corroborated this assertion, and added,
that the watchmen assaulted the defendant first.

Mr. WATSON summed up the evidence, observing
to the Jury, that if they did not believe that the
watchmen had sworn false, they must Lad the defen-
dant guilty.
The Jury consulted a few minutes, and returned a
verdict of Not Guilty.
Mr. Biizux observed to the Jury, that there was
no doubt they returned that verdict conscientiously ;
yet he would, with the leave of the Chairman, inform
them that Pover bore an excellent character.

Wonshmtrraser —Yesterday Sarah 4/k,, aged 14,
was charged on suspicion of wilfully setting the house
of Mr. W. Mitchell, in Crown-street, Finsbury-square,
on fire, last Sunday morning, when the whole of the
premises and all the property were destroyed. J.
Armstrong stated, that having met Mr. Mitchell af-
ter the catastr• phe, he informed him that the priso-
ner, who was his servant, had, on Saturday last,
stolen some halfpence, and received notice to quit.
Mrs. Mitchell, at the same time, sent for her aunt, to
communicate to her what had happened. This irri-
tated the girl, and she told her fellow-servant, that
if Mrs. Mitchell persisted in what the said she would
be even with her, and she would lose considerably
by it. At night the family retired to bed at their
usual hour, and the fire was safe. The prisoner got
up first in the morning, went down stairs, and re-
mained about half an hour. When she returned to
her fellow-servant, who still remained in bed with
two of the children, she told her the house was on
fire, but she must not tell her master and mistress ;
the other, however, got up instantly, and alarmed
the family. The other servant confirmed the above
statement, adding, that she asked the prisoner to
open the street-door for her, as she had two of the
children, when she went down stairs; but she refused
to do it. Mr. Mitchell stated, that he and Mrs. Mit-
chell slept in a front room on the first floor, the two
servant-maids and two children in a back-room, and
that they must go through his room to get into theirs,
consequently the prisoner had an opportunity of
alarming him first, if she was inclined to do .o. Se-
veral of the neighbours, on the door being opened,
perceived that no fire was in the kitchen ; but the
passage from the street-door and the first flight of
stairs were in a blaze, which prevented Mr. and Mrs.
Mitchell coming down.— She was fully committed.
Mansion-housa.—Yesterday the Proprietor of the
Boulogne Mouth, the George, and Blue boar, and
several other innkeepers and coach.proptietors, were
summoned, for delivering parcels during the time of
divine service on Sunday. The complainants stated,
that the carts of the defendants were frequently drawn
up so as to obstruct the passage to churches, and
even blockaded their very doors. The Lord Mayor
said, there would be no hesitation on his part in in-
flicting the penalty ; but it being the first case brought
before him, he wished to know whether the complai-
nants meant to urge their cape ? The latter replied,
their object was to remove the nuisance, by warning
the parties of the consequences of their conduct. His
Lordship then dismissed them, declaring, that inas-
much as petty shop-keepers, who were less able to,
bear exactions, were fined for vending their articles
on Sundays, opulent individuals could not hope to
escape, if found offending in future. The parties then
promised to remedy the evil, and withdrew.
Harm; GARDIIN-A woman named Lacy, an
artificial flower-maker, living at the corner of Throg.
morton.court, Charterhouse-lane, was charged with
"Welly beating her apprentice, Catherine Andrews,
only eleven years of age, with a rod, to such a degree
that she bore the marks from her neck to her ancles,
her hands and feet being enormously swelled. She
was severely reprimanded for her cruelty, and the
Magistrates cancelled the indenture, and assigned the
unfortunate girl to her uncle, Mr. K. Roach.
Jaw Wilson, 15 years of age, was charged by .the
keeper of a brothel, in Holles.street, Clare Market,
with stealing a silk shawl. It appeared that the pri.
soner was seduced from her parents, who are re-
spectable people, to live in the house of the prose-
CULTIZt for which she charged the prisbner 21s. per
week for her bare lodgings. It was also stated, that
there are five other girls in a similar situation in the
same house. The friends of the girl, finding her
contrite, wished to get her into the Magdalen, and to
which the Magistrates assented. They accordinglyl
disaiued the charges and ordered the constable to
