ANOTkIZIR Li/71R, SAIIII DATE.

After ag fine a season as was ever remembered at this
place, affording grant pleasure to an unprecedented
number of visitors, as well as profit to the inhabitants,
it may be said to have terminated with a storm as *e-
ves., and destructive fur the short time it continued, as
can well be conceived.

Between one and two o'clock this morning. a remark-
ably sudden gale of wind came from the north-east,
which in a few minutes increased to a perfect hurricane,
and continued unabated till day-light. The most alarm-
ing apprehensions were eatertertained, which were, as
the day advanced, unhappily verified.
The first object of distress that presented itself was a
vessel on shore on the Nayland Rock; the crew were
fortunately saved, but the tide flowing at the time. she
drifted higher and higher, and now he. close under the
Cliff, near the Sea Bathing Infirmary, with some scores
of persons, with carts aml horses removing the cargo ;
her name is the Good Intent regular trader, between
Cowes and London.

Would to lion, for the sake of humanity, that this
disastrous storm had been confined to the loss of pro-
perty only: bat a brig that was seen at anchur in the
evening, about a mile from the Long Nose, or Fairness
Dock, was, alas! seen for the last time. The morning
presented nothing bit pieces of wreck floating ashore,
seamen's chests, spars, decks, planks, &c. fine must, as
the wind blew directly upon the Rock, have gone to
pieces in the night, and every soul on board have perish-
ed. The Officer upon the Preventive Service, with great
promptitude, seised the cheats, and with equal feeling,
declined opening them fer the p . The name of the
vessel is pretty well known; but as some doubts may
exist, it would be cruelty to the relatives of the ships
company to mention it, before all doubt is removed.
Nor does this end the catalogue, for the topmasts and
yards are distinctly seen tl rating. with other pieces o

wreck, of another shipi *boat MS f rends memo. Sti
must have foundered at bee sechorage ; particulars o
course unknnws.
As if to relieve the mind hoe this melancholy specie•
ole, a scene presented itself that 1 cannot refrain Iron
giving you. A group of urchins, the oldest net tied,.
years Or age, while the seamen, the fathers of some ro
them, were putting off in boats to assist the I•
which were riding in the Rawls ; there heroes in me
bryo ran to the fort with a rope of conablerahl . leneih•
and in an ingant one of them, as if by instinct, fat-
tened one end round his body, while his comrade,
fastened the other to a rail or post, and immediately
lowered him down the precipice of at least one lion.
Bred feet, shouting with dauntless intrepidity all the
way he descended. Had any of the ill-fated ma
cutters been there, they would, beyond doubt, have
been rescued from a watery irrave—as it was, they sir-
erected in raising as much broken plank as would (rich
a shilling for lire-wood, and away they ran, looming,
with as wueb seeming pride as if by their enterprise
they had saved an empire.

been chiefly in the S.W., but in the coarse of lag night
it flew round to the N.B. and blew a whole gale. At
eleven this day one of the 33-pounders. earronades
placed at the eastern pierdsesil. was carried away by the
tuna, though weighing probably near two ton,. It is
sdpposeal that the disieg4sell, which was used in laying
the foundation of that part of the pier, most be rtnploved

this unexpected prey of the ocean.
MELANCHOLY CASUALTY.—DUELIII. OCT. 14.—Yes-
terday morning, the Endeavour, M'Cartliv, of and bound
to lieltrat, out about six weeks from St.*Anilrews, after
experiencing muck severe weather in attempting to pot
into the port of Dahlia, struck on the North Bull, about
the boar of ten in the morning. The wind blew hard,
hat during the whole day, no assistance was obtained
which meld render the vessel the least service; the life-
boat from Clontarf came on board, and we have heard
complaints of the inefficiency of her crew, of ',Friel, the
following melancholy fact may afford some evidence:—
An oil man, named James Murray, we believe above
70, bug known in Clontarf, remained in the life-boat
whilst the others went on board the Endeavour ; the sea
Was se roses that his situation was perilous—a rope was
thrown not to hoist him on hoard, but, by some mit,
charier, it slipped, and got about the old man's neck at
the moment they were hauling him on hoard—he was
strangled !—the body was taken on board, but the old
man is dead. Several valuable articles were put from
the vessel into the life-boat, she filled with water; the
articles, trunks, Ste. having floated not of the boat, were
lost, The vessel remained all night on the Bull ; forte-
nicely, the violence of the wind abated considerbly,
and there is hope she will be got off without ninth da-
mage. The crew of the life-boat, as well as of the En-
deaveur,carne ashore in t!.. tliip's hams.
The swell in our rivers, occasioned by the 1 ite rains,

Turnsta.—A clergyman of the hirrhest respectability
has declared, to us, that it is the anxious wish of a great
majority of the rectors in this neighbouthood, to have
such anwrrangement matte as will relieve them from the
present and uncertain and obnoxious triode of collecting
their tithes; for, between the roguery of the pent ror anti
the poverty of the farmer, they scarcely get any thing.
In an adjulning parish there is neither rector. curate.
nor church; and yet the tithe is colled for by a proctor
with as much effrontery as is the duties of the parish
were most regularly and faithfully performed.—(ear,'cie
