The ship City of Edinburgh, from America, laden
With timber, which was stranded at Scilly about six
months ago, and has since lain on the sand in St.
Mary's Pool, a perfect wreck, has, by Incredible exer-
tion., been got 911 during the late high tides, anal
fitted with ,a new rudder and foremast in place of
those which she lost, during the storm of the autumnal
equinox. Last week she rode out a severe gale in St.
51,ry's Road, although she has a large hole in the]
hot tow, and the water overflowed the decks sad
cabins :—the islanders by whom she is managed.
trusting alone for preservation to the buoyancy of her
e3rgol On Sunday evening, the 15th, she ''it under
weigh, but grounded again near the place where she
connerly struck. On the following day, however•
with a high tide and fair wind, she got clear off, mach
to the joy of the Scilloaians, who attribute the stormy
weather which they experienced for the last half year,
to her disagreeable presence She was attended by
large boat from St. Mary's, to assist the hardy adven-
turers in case of accident. Perhaps such a circum-
stance, of men voluntarily going to sea in a mere
Wreck, never occnrrcd before : and it must be owned
that the undertaking savours more of temerity than
of prudence.
The common saying, " It is ae ill triad that blows
nobody good," has lately been exemplified at Scilly,
where the westerly gales, or rather storms, have blown
ashore great quantities of the ground-weed. and thus
enabled the islanders to commence the waking of kelp,
two months before the usual period.
Between six and seven hundred mackerel were
caught by some of the boats of Scilly, last week,
but the men bad much trouble to dispose of them on
the Islands, at three-peace each. The opening of a
market in Cornwall for the produce of a portion of
the fishery, would be very desirable.
Lawn*. Aran. 22.—Last Tuesday afternoon we
were visited by a very sharp storm of thunder, lighten-
isia, rain, and bail, which seemed to horst from a
cloud. highly charged, over the tows. where the
lashes of lightening were extremely Ovid, and the
claps of thundur awfully loud ; it however, gradually
abated, and soon passed off without mischief, other
than that the gardens sustained from the hailstones,
which by the violence of their fall, cut the young
fruits, and particularly the gooseberries and currants
from their trees, to au extent that comparatively co-
veted the ground beneath them. The foilage also
Maimed much. The rapid dissolution of the hail
closed the water to run in streams into many houses,
dud especially those with parapet gutters. The storm
extended westward, in a partial direction, as far as
Patcham, where we have been told, the hailstones
were as large as small pebbles, and in shape angu-
lar. The weather lately, for the time of year. has
been more than ordinarily tempestuons. It lightened
bete for some hours on Friday, but the thunder was
very distant.
Dm Blockade squadrons on our coast continue to
foe very active and vigilant in the performance of
Holy duty, as appeared at East Bourne on Monday
lifer,-when a small boat in which two person, had
keen at sea a few hours, on a cruise of pleasure, on
returning in the shore, was iostantly surrounded by
a dozen of those brave fellows, with naked cutlasses
rd loaded pistols, ready for the search, which they
,secnted, but we hear, not until the boat had been
worked over the foil of the beach, and placed beyond
ti.e reach of the water.
'A subscriptioa, it appears bas been commenced at
Votshans. for the family of Mrs. Swaioe, who was
it /dewed by the melancholy catastrophe which re-

, At a late Sitting of Magistrates, held within a few

**leaded to prefer a complaint, which we think has
pewity safficieet to recommend it to public notice.
it was against a certaim shoe-maker, for having over-
stepped his last, and libelled the legs of the fair corn-
plaitsant, by making odious comparisons, calculated
to diminish the value of her pretty face, and perhaps,
ultimately, to frustrate her matrimonial prospects. Joh-

ple of ptiollege, being a &wetter, under the honour-
able Order.' of Sabot Crispin. The Magistrates
smiled; sued es their Clerk could find no precedent to
jpetify on essuninotion of the parts libelled. they with
Ark pod-humour and pleasantry dismissed the ease,
pa one nut falling within the pale of their jurisdiction.
