The brig Coffee Planters, which has arrived at Ply.
mouth from Curacoa, as mentioned in the STAR of
Saturday, was hoarded in the Mona Passage by the
Marengo French schooner privateer, of 14 guns and
140 men; which vessel plundered her of some specie
and other property, and then left her, on two strange
sail appearing in sight. The Marengo is commanded
by one Auvreau, a Frenchman, and is supposed to
have been fitted out at St. Domingo. Previous to her
falling in with the Coffee Planters, she had captured
• 31 sail of vessels, among which Number were a British
packet, bound from Curacoa to St. Thomas's ; and a
Spanish packet brig, from Cadiz to Porto Rico-35
of whose crew, out of 40, were butchered by the pri-
vateer, after they had struck, for maintaining a run.
ning fight. Great apprehensions are entertained for
• the ship Cumberland, which is supposed to have been
taken by the above privateer, with a valuable cargo.
The Marengo had received information of, and was
on the look-out tor the ship Exchange, bowia frtml
Curacoa to London, with a large quantity of specie
and a valuable cargo. The Avoß sloop was the only
ship of war left at Curacoa, and the Captain of the
Marengo said he had not seen a single British cruiser
for several weeks. His cabin was tall of specie and
Miters.

A few days since, Captain the Comte De Gram-
mont, of the'Royal 10th Hussars, was thrown from
his horse, while proceeding on his journey from
Lewes to Brighton. By the severity of the fall his
right arm, near the elbow, and one of his knees, were
dreadfully shattered, and several cuts and bruises in-
flicted on various parts of his body. In this situation,
and almost lifeless, he was, a few moments after, dis-
covered by a gentleman, who was travelling on the
road in his cart iage, and conveyed to the barracks,
where he now lies in a very dangerous state.

A few evenings since a soldier's wife, travelling to
Deal, to see her husband, was stopped bete...en Wing-
ham and Ash, by two chimney-swaps, who, alter
violating her person, stripped her entirely naked, and
decamped with her clothes and bundle. Providen.
tially Mrs. Becker, of Gilton Parsonage, speedily
cam up in a post chaise, who took her to her house,
had her put to bed, and her distress alleviated by the
kindest consolations humanity could dictate, and the
next day clothed her, and sent her to Deal by the
coach. It is fervently hoped the dastardly villains
who perpetrated such a base and unmanly crime, will
not long escape justice.
MisuoscooLv AccinENT.—Sunday se'nnight the
Runcorn packet, in her passage down to Liverpool,
struck upon a sand-bank, above the Dungeon Point ;
a flat of light burden was sailing past about the same
time, and part of the passengers were put on board,
by means of the small boat belonging. to the packet,
which was safely eff:•cted, although with considerable
danger. The b 'at then returned for the rest of the
passengers, in number about fourteen ; it was some
time, however, before they could make the flat a se-
cond time, and when close alongside, the boat swam-
ped. Notwithstanding the exertions of the people on
board the flat, we are sorry to say, three persons were
drowned. A Gentleman of the name of Smith, from
Manchester ; a daughter of the Captain of the Run-
corn packet, and a t;irl of the name of Collier, were
the unhappy sutrerets.
Wednesday night Mr. Gibberd, a very respectable
farmer of the Hill House, Chalcomb, near Ban-
bury, lost his way, and fell into the water near Banbury
mill. There being but little water, it is supposed he
was killed on time spot, as he was found very much
bruised.

A melancholy accident happened about two miles
from Kilmarnock on the lOth inst. As the waggon
was returning with a number of people from the Troon
by the rail way, the harnessing gave way, and owing
to the da:kiwss of the night, the waggon tumbled
down a precipice of seven or eight feet perpendicular.
One man unto, ttmately was killed on the spot, and
some so severely hurt that their lives are despaired of.
One man had his skull dreadfully cut in four places.
The man who was killed has left a widow and three
helpless children to lament his loss.
A CENTURY SattsioN.—On the I lth, ult. a wel!..
adapted discourse was delivered atWalmington, (Vt.)
before a crn-sded audience, by the Rev. RouenT
Huuttattn, (-1 Shelburne, MS. from the following
text :—" Few and evil have the dor of the year: of my
Ifa Seen." On this day Mrs. EUNICE BANGS, of that
town, arrived at the age of one hundred year: t which
circnmstance gave rise to this occasional discourse.
Mrs. BANGS, being somewhat deaf, was conducted to
the pulpit by her son Mr. ADIRAII BANGS, and his
wife, who were nearly 70 years of age, and attended
their mother with tenderness and respect 6-coming
dutiful children. The good old Lady walked up the
pulpit stairs with considerable agility, and stood up
the greater part of the exercis.s.—Mrs. Banos lived.
between 70 and 80 years with her husband, has had
18 children, 74 grandchildren, and 190 great grand-
children.

There is at present living at Lochlyack,in the parish
of Carmichael, near Tinto, a young man, who has
now reached his 13th year, in full health, and coin•
plete organization ; but whose height is only two feet
live inches. There is nothing singular in his appera-
ance, except his head„ which is much larger, in pro-
' portion, than the rest of his body.
