The progress of the malady unfortunate
ly appears TO have been more rapid at Ca
diz than at the isle of Leon, as one OF the
Madrid Gazette, received last week, spoke
of few cases only in the hospitals and pri-
vate houses, and the accounts which came TO
hand on Wednesday, state them to have "a
several thousands, and the number of daily
deaths 10 upwards of 60. The conduct of
the bishop on this trying occasion is trul Y ex-
emplary-he is constantly with the sick, to
whom he administers in person, the sacla-
ments and every assistance in bis power. We
are likewise concerned TO find, that the fever
has further spread to Seville, and to several
other towns and villages in the province
In the capital, however, the letters of the la

ward of Santa Cruz but the alarm was so
great that The courts of justice and the holy
Office had been shut up; the authorities
whose presence were not required in the CT

of 10000 persous had already Withdrawn TO
the town bordering Of Estramadura. The

FARMERS BANK OF READING.
A meeting of The stockholders was held on
Monday last, and we are informed that a
thorough investigation of the concerns OF said
institution took place 1t was agreed that
upon The renewal o: notes due the bank, for
two successive terms, 10 per cent should be
paid IN, which will reduce the amount OF
notes in circulation to about 10000 dollars,
and enable the bank to resume its functions
Should this, however, not be sufficient, the
stockholders have agreed to pay an addi-
tionsI instalment of FIVE dollars OH their
shares respectively. This last MEASURE will
no doubt enable the bank TO revert to specie
payments, and efectaally to re establish its
credit.

GALE AT ST. MARTINS.
We have been favored with the 81. Tho
mas Times of the 18th ult. from which we
extract the particulars Of the awful destruc-
ton committed by the late gale at St. Mar
tins. Accounts have been heretofore pub
lished, of the injury experienced at other
islands in the West Indies, from the ravages
of the same hurricane but from the follow
ing it appears that St. Martins has suffered
not less severely.
PARTICULARS
Of the disasters experienced at st. Martins,
by the late Hurricane.
On Monday the Goth September, at meri
dian, in the island OF St. Martins, it nstan-
taneously became very calm, accompanied
by severe ground sea; at II o'clock at
night it blew a pretty fresh breeze from the
northward. which continued increasing, On
Tuesday, at 8 o'clock in the morning, it blew
from the n. Wat IL o'clock same day, 1t
blew from the S. Wand from o'clock,
p. NJ. it blew due S. which continued until 4
o'clock on Wednesday morning, when the
weather began to abate.
From O'Clock on Tuesday afternoon until
the same hour on Wednesday morning, it
blew with such degree of violence that no.
thing could withstand its force; men, women
and children, bereft of shelter, with not
single SUIT OF linen to cover their nakedness,
or wherew!hal TO satisfy their hunger, trees
torn up by the roots, houses blown from their
foundations, some of which were blown into
the sea and pond one house in particular,
situated over the pond, was taken up wholly
by the wind, wherein was the manager and
several negroes-it was lifted from its basis
upwards OF twenty feet high, and fortunately,
on its descent, fell into spot, which had
been originally cellar, and contained three
or four feet water, in consequence Of which
those in the house sustained no injury.
An iron six FOUNDER, with iron carriage,
was blown from Fort Amsterdam half way to
Fort William. the distance of about three.
quarters of a mile-and cart, with iron axle
tree, was blown from Gov. Kicks estate TO
Mr.. Dencker's, (about quarter of mile.)
Simpsons Bay was almost entirely destroy
ed, there remaining in that town but hou-
ses ; one of the buildings washed away by
the sea contained Is persons. In the middle
OF the original situation of the town there is q
channel left of about 80 feet in breath and
feet deep. During the gale there were three
shocks OF an earthquake, which, it is suppo-
sed, did equally as much damage as the wind
or sea.
The following is list of the damage done
in the Dutch quarter:
