In the last a The Alin Evening Poet,
we stated, that the Captains .of the different corps
of City Yeomanry was summoned to the Castle.—
We have now to add. that his Escelleacy, after
briefly touching on the disturbed state of different
parts of the' country, and the ' necessity of precau-
tionary measures to prevent its further progress.
requested they would state 'the number, &c. that they
could muster of their respective Corps, in case of ne-
cessity, and for future arrangements, referred them to
the Chief Secretary, Mr. Grant, who was presentor-1
His Excellency was also pleased to observe to tbor
i
Commandants, that it was not necessary for them
to come in a body for the future, as be would hionsellfl
receive their reports individually, as suited their cort
venience.

lonel Sir Robert Shaw ; Captain Exshaw ; Captain
Blosham; Lord Castlecoote; Captain Coleman ; Cap-

their services forthwith, when it was unasimously re-
solved to furnish immediate returns of the strength

CITY BANIIIIRT TO TIC KIIIIO.III is sow Tel/Olio
ed that his Majesty is to dine with the Lord Mayor,
at the Guildhall of the City of Loudon, when that an-
cleat 'dike will be illuminated witbia and without.
At no period in the history of this coustry, has this
famous hall exhibited half the splendour which is
to be Weaned forth on St. George's Day. To give
full effect to the scene, it is said that ! the Com-
mittee coseluded a bargain with the Great Lord Cham-
berlain on Saturday last, for the whole of the Corona-
ties decoration, which adorned Westminster Hall dur-
ing the late festivities.

Lewes, Dap.l.-Abost four o'cloek on last Filday
morning we were visited by II tremendous, gale of wind,
accompanied by a torrent of rain, which proved so
alarming to some persons, that they left their beds la
oonsupeenFe.
Waswics. Dec. I.—We fears that mach damage
bas been occasioned by the tremendous sale if AO,
which blew Stith so much violence last eight and ails
morning. The trunk of an elm tree. of large Jaime-
sloes, and which has stood for a great many yeats at
the top of the Pigwells, in this borough', was this
morning split from top to bottom.
Rom annen,Nov. 30.-1 n consequence of a violtit
hurricane of wind and rain, which came on at Stenmore
early os.lilotiday monist, tilt, London mail was con-
sideraily nitarded in its progress to Dumfries. it hav-
ing takeu tto less than six boars to ran 19 miles.
Diistan, Dec. I.—At an early hour yesterday
evening, the wind blowing from the West, came on
pretty hard ; about eight, r. sa., it commenced blowing I
a gale..with occasional showers of rain. The Squalls,'
at intervals, exceeded in violence any thing we recol-
lect
fot some years. The lamps were generally satin-
giddied, aid the streets presented a sombre and de
*dad apPeirance.
• The crossing of the bridges was attended with con-
siderable dlffscel'y ; and, as no umbrella could be used,
theArinlisg. rain. beating against the face, produced
"i‘sly 111641110 sensation as it each drop was bard
sal plead. --_ .
At tharbeatre. which was bat thinly attended owing
to the inclemency of the night, the storm was so loud.
as (remittently to drown the voice of the performers,
and render tbs.= inaudible. The Play was Macbeth,
bet the propertymaa 'bid little occasion to use his ma-
ebinety fur raising a storm, even for the Witches.
We are apprehensive that we shall hear of some
damage having been sustained in the vicinity of Town,
several large trees and chimnies have been prostrated,
and the road through Phoenix Park is impaisibie,
from trees that have been blown down, and lie across
it. A number of Pioneers were employed the greater
part of the day in removing the obstacle. A boy was
killettos the North Strand, by the falling of a house,
which was blown down. There is a large gap in the
wall.-on the West side of Harcourt-street, occasioned
by the storm, and gr, at part of what remains seems in
!a very precarious state.
Extract of a latter from the West part of the County
Mayo.—" The country from the constant rains, is in a
deplorable state—the Potatoes are very much injured."
Friday sessight as the Charlotte, Cterleon boat,
of about 18 tons berth's (which was used as a tem-
porary packet whilst* the Miry Ann was repairing),
was attempting to run between the Spit and Hook
Sands in our Channel, it blowing a gale of wind from
the westward, she foundered, and, melancholy to re.
late, the whole on board, consisting of seven passers
gees, besides the master, one seaman, and a boy, were'
drowned. They bad no mlall hoatns board, or some
Odle unhappy sufferers ght bevel:seen saved. The
Ca taint of a vessel coming up in the morning saw a
snia on mast. and every endeavour was made to
eannir

i•

We bad a . last night,
wearing at ten o•dlotk. and ig until six o'clock
this morning; and I fear ►e *shall have melancholy ati:
counts from our neighbouring Shore, and are sorry
say that the effects have been as melancholy to a arr .
tale extent on land as they may be anticipated at sea; bat
I cannot enter into minute particulars, not having had
an opportunity of collecting them, so as to give yol
them with that atturacy I could wish. Some new us-
finished houseszhAve been levelled to the ground. other
house-stripped of their roofs and lead, many chimney*.
In part, or wholly, blown down ; and it falls to my
lot to communicate to you a most melancholy occur-
Trace attending one of them. Mr. Barton (the brewer)
and his wife, by the fall of their stack of chimneys,
have lest their lives is the middle of the night while!
in bed. It appears that the tall was so sudden, they
bad not the least chance of inking their escape, bat
were buried where they lay by the ruins. I have not
beard of any other accident so fatal ; but in our river
the loss of property has been great. yet much of it
is is that description of vessels called eats, about SO
MU each. Seven are destroyed, or nearly so, and
two steam-packets. the Ivanhoe and the Etna ; there
are also some ships, Sic. on shore—their names I am
not able to inform you ; but. so far as I can learn,
few lives have bon lost. It is also reported that two
Glasgow traders, bound from hence, have been lost.
The Albion Packet-chip arrived yesterday from New-
York ; she is on shore in Bootle Bay, but doing well.
This sketch, I fear, is in some respects imperfect, yet
It will. so doubt, fall far short of giving any thing
'like antelope of the extent of the misfertuses that
ban *matted is conseqesnee of this visitation, for
ato 'Moot lailabitasto do sot recollect any thing like it
severity sad thewilow. There are now easy can-
als& 1 mem nating ap from the shore, being part
of the cargo of an American vessel wreaked in the
night.•

Dac, I.—At the meeting piths Town
Coeasll on Wednesday, the demand made by the Sheriff
fur 700/. being the won't of damages occasioned by
the mob at the late illumination for her Majesty, came
under cossidentioa, when it was resolved to apply to
the Court of Session, to enable the Council to levy the
same by asossawat oa the inhabitants.

holiest, who being salmi 'by the plaintiff whether
Ford wee worthy of trust, and pild his bills *ego-
/arly. and windier be owed him any thing ? the
defeadint repteseated him to be a person worthy of
trust—that .be paid his hills regularly, and that
he owed him nothing but for two tabs of batter;
whereupon the plaintiff, confiding in this, gave Ford
credit for goods to a considerable amount, but he
tamed oat to be a pen., unworthy et credit, did not
pay his bills regaled'', and, in feet, owed the defend-
ant upwards of 2001. at the time the reignite was
given.

PREROGATIVE COURT, Das. IL

;WA inmost, Proctor, on behalf of Mn. Henri,
who, it appeared, is now resident in France, sad be-
tween whom and bet husband, it is understood, a suit
of divorce, on the ground of adultery, is now pending
in the French Courts, applied to appear by proxy, and
tot administer to the will of a relation in this country,
deceased, by *bleb she claims. u a legatee, property
to No amount of 6,0001. _ _ _

Swage? submitted, that the party in this ease
soda not sue out letters of administration, befog un-
ileVeoverturit, unless it could be made appear either by
the death of her husband that she had become &femme
role, that her husband had been banished ; or other-
wise Ms having given her a general power of Attor-
ney to &tiler him, daring big absence abroad. This
diarist, had been held formerly in the Prerogative
Coat, in the ease of Elizabeth Wilmot, a foams
covert*, applying for letters of administration, during
the lifetime of her basked, as is this case; mid the
Court decided; that unless under the before-mentioned
veaisites, Aft could sot be permitted to snood let-
tees of sdniisistratioe, by prosy or otherwise.
Sit. J. lifteitot decided, that* there was a Materizl
diatieetien betWeeu that au* this ease. The patty, in
this case, sued not upon what belonged to the bus-
hand, bat to her, (the wife,' who was to be besefited;
and as sash, twilled to administration. Is this ease,
the husband Was allowed to be represented by his
wife; and she being a married worn's, lama of the I
husband is low administering, she offered to be re-
:possible, by giving security for •the due performance I
• of the treat. Under those clteumstances the Court
permitted Mrs. Henri to sue out letters of administra-
tion, with the will sneezed ; giving security to the
aniesst of the bona mobile, including costs.

Yesterday tbess ifeqfqpit were commenced. before the
Lord Ileyee,, the Sherlllll4 Alderman Brown, Birch,
Sir Jells Purim, and Thompson.
.TbetCOMNON SgRGIBAN,T, in charging the Grand
Jury, recommended to their notice the vehicles called
" Vans." which might.be sees daily passing through
the sweets. loaded to a frightful height, sad exciting
great fears in the inhabitants. He advised, that if
any complaint should be made against the practice of
permitting such vehicles to move along with such
loads, the 0,11111:1 Jury would mark them in a particu-
lar manner, u such oscillating columns were, no
lionbt, intolerable nuisances. One man had lately lost
his life by an accident which occurred in consequence
of the immense lead open one of those vans, and it
wps certainly matter of surprise that more accidents
bad net taken place.
...William Blithe, a soldier in the second regiment of
foot gliards, was tried upon an indictment charging
bills with havingasseaked .Robert Langdale with a
noultio sad bayonet, and with having used threats
against the prosecutor's life.
•Ma goorsa, in stating the cue, said, that the goes-
tiott Pt be decided was. whether the citisens of Lou-
dowiteld any right to expect • that they might walk
nplm the footpaths in the streets without fear of mili-
tary violence, or were to be jostled sod kicked out of
the way at the pleasure of any man with a red coat
oo his back, and formidable weapon in his hand. It
was to be hoped that the verdict of the Jury would
tee& the soldier to keep his arms for proper use. and
not in a time of peace to apply them to malevolent
purposes. Soldiers were, as Mr. Pulteney had- desalt,-
pit them,. mere passive instruments, any one of whom,
if ordered to drag his father out of the House of Com-
mon', must de it without hesitation, The Commander
was respo*sible, and Mr. Langdale, who bad himself
bin in the army. applied to the person at the bead of
threompany, who, however, preferred assaulting. him
to giving him the expected redress. If such things
very pennitted to go on, It would, is the learned
antiseel's *pinion, be much better to get out of the
eonatry than to abide in it.
