ing refuled 10 go to Tea unleis their wages
were advanced to tx guineas the voyage,
fevera! fcenes Of violence and diiorder were
manifeGed, which oil tie influence ard

we are informed ell differences have been
adiuaed, and the trade has recovered IFS
wonted tone and vigour. At Shields,

vouring elepent, ninety windows in front
pouring fourth columns OF fame and CON-
bubble matter, 70 as to endanger hay
G{acks il the meadows at a quarter Of
mile diltanr; and when the roof and Gu
poIa fell in, the effect can only be com
pared TO a volcanic eruption. The con.
tar Of this immenfe and widely diffaied
tight 10 the darkness OF the night, the IL
Illumination Of rhe town, cattle, and the
furrounding villages, and the vifible diff
tine3neis OF the mott diifant objects in the

vivid eiFeta as it will be as vain for the
