EFFECTS of the GALE, on SUNDAY NIGH

DOVER, Frs. 3.
Yesterday evening a fleet of East and West India.
men, and coasters, went past under convoy. Cu.
tween seven and ten o'clock last night it blew a col),
plete gale, or hurricane from the Southward. in Whic!.
the Larkins East-ludiaman lost her topmast and jii.,
and a vessel running on board her, broke one of Le;
anchors, and did other damage. She has gone rot
the Downs, and it is supposed several of the convoy
have also put back.

N. B. A signal is flying for an enemy on the coa4.

SHEERNESS, FEE'. 3.
From seven to ten o'clock laq night it blew
hurricane from S. to S.S.E.—A ship, under Swedish
colours, called the NVilbelfnina, from London for
Spain, lost all her anchors and cables, her furerna.t
and main topmast, and she is now on shore on t!:a
Knock Sand, but cxpc,ted to be got off. The Tot.
ness schooner, of Totuess,. Cole, master, from Lou-
don to Dartmouth, has been on shore on the Kneel(
Sand, but got off in so leaky a state that they wme
obliged to run her on shore in the harbour. A I;gitt
collier was on shore, but got off without da.
mage. Ills Majesty's ship Conqueror, of 71 guns,
lying between this and Chatham, dragged her moor.
lugs away and went on shore, but it is not expected
she will get any damage. The gale came so sudden
that one or two small boats were caught in it, and
there is reason to fear their crews have perished, as
three dead bodies were picked up on shore this
morning.
DEAL, FEL S.

Last night it blew a heavy gale from the S. to S. E.
The brig Elizabeth, Laves, from London, for Ey.
mouth, with a general cargo, came on shore (war
Walmer Castle, about 9 I'. M. and sunk ; great part.
of her cargo has been landed, and the whole is ex-
pected to be saved next tide. The Mate was unfor.
tunately drowned. •

Four sail of East Indiatnen that sailed yesterday
have put back.

RICHMOND, Dcc. 27.- -Last night the play-lane
in this city was crowded with an unusual ce:
there-could not have been less th six hundred per.
sons in the house. Jus,t before the conclusion of rue
play, the• scenery caught fire, and in a few minutes
the whole building was wfapt in llamas. It is al-
ready ascertained that sixty-one persons were de-
voured by that terrific element. We are informed
than the scenery took fire in the back part of the
house, by the rai,,ing of a chandelier ;—that the boy,
who was ordered by some of the players to raise it,
stated. that if he did so, the seenery would
fire ; when he was commanded in a peremptory man.
ner to 'hoist it. The boy obeyed, and the tire was
'Reentry communicated to the scenery. He gait the
alarm in the rear of the Stage, and requested
some of the attendants to cut the cords by which
the combustible matelials were suspended. The
person whose defy it was to perform this bu.
siness became panic struck, and sought his own
safety. This unfortunately happened at a time
w;ien one of the Performers was playing near
the orchestra, and the greatest part of the stage
was obscured from the audience by a curtain. The
lire falling from the scenery, upon the performer,
was the first notice which the people had of their
danger. Even then, many supposed it to be a part
of the play, and were, for a little time, restrained
from flight by a cry from the stage that there was oo
danger. There was but one door for the greatest
part of the audience to pass. Men, Women, and chit.
siren were pressing upon each other, while the flames
were seizing upon those behind ; who, urged by the
flames, puilied those out who were near st to the win•
lows ; and people of every description began to fall,
one upon another, some with their dotty* 04 fire,
some half roasted. All of those who were in the pit
escaped, and bad cleared themselves from the house
befpre those who were in the boxes could g't down ;
and the door was for some time empty.. Those from
above were pushing each other down the steps, when
the hindermost might have got out by leaping into
the pit. In addition to the list now given, it is be-
lieved that at least 6U others per;shed,• whose names
are not yet ascertainell.
[Here follows the names of 62 persons, among
whom were the Governor of the Province and his
Lady.]

fIGII-TSSAsoN.—The Surrey Sessions met yester.
day in pursuance of an adjournment, for the purpose
of arraigning the twelve men who were taken prison.
!yrs at the capture of the Isle of France, and-who, he.
ing subjects of this realm, were found aiding and es-
sisting the French in the defence of that island. The
prisoners, who were double-ironed, were put to the
lktr separately, and the indictment against each Wag
read by Mr. Knapp, Clerk of the Court, to which
they severally pleaded, Not Guilty. Hur, in conse-
quence of the absence of some material witnesses ell
behalf of the prisoners, the trial was put of to tl
10th instant. We understand a substiiption ha,
been set on foot to defray the expence of the
Mr. Harmer has been appointed to conduct the pro-
ceedings on the part of the prisoners.
Gawler, the Nvy Office Clerk, now in custody,
is in the remainder to the Ducal title of -Roxburgh,
the claim to which is now prosecuting in the House
of Peers.
A total change, it is said, will take race in Lot-
teries, as the Minister is of opinion that it would he
