ONE DAY LATER FROM ENGLAND.
Mey York, Jun. 2l.-By the arrival Of the
racket ship acasta, Capt. Newman, from Lon
don, we have received a London paper Of the
Sd of December, and a Plymouth paper of the
9TH. The latter paper in abiding to the late
storm says, that town continues scene OF bus
tie, and every day discovers remains of proper
ty damaged. The walls and streets were lite
rally studded with placards, announcing the
sales of hulls of ships, and salved goods Ma.
nv of the vessels had been got off and others
had gone to pieces. The Breakwater was
much damaged during the gale. The
government have requested the proper
officers to ascertain the number Of vessels
which have chain cables, and report how such
vessels withstood the storm. The greatest
damage was done by vessels running foul of
each other, and from what is termed ''ath.
wart hause." The military had been ordered
out to take charge of property saved from the
wrecks. At Cawshand, near Plymouth, be-
sides the total destruction of many houses, up
wards of thirty dwellings, are desolated, the
first stories being filed with sand. At CHS
sci, nearly eighty houses were destroyed and
twenty persons lost their lives.
The London papers do not contain any later
advices from the Continent than were before
MIR. FAUNTLEROf.
This gentleman's life was insured in
the Amicable Life Insurance Office for
FIVE thousand pounds. He appears to
havs possessed the esteem and conf
dence of all who became acquainted
with him. He was in many instances
appointed trustee and executor, and
acted in the latter capacity to the late
Mr.. West, President of the Royal A
cademy. He observed to friend as
singular circumstance, that Mr.. Co
nant who committed him, had been for
many years his personal friend, and but
a short time before his commitment he
spent an evening in the company OF the
Judge who pronounced the awful SEN
tence of the law upon him. The fol-
lowing is an extract of a letter written
by Mr.. F. a short time before his exc
cution:--
"The time is fast approaching, when
at length the gloomy veil Of death will
the setting sun Of human
existence, and the meridian CLEANS OF
all earthly enjoyments will be eclipsed
from all worldly pursuits; the soul will
be separated from the excitement OF all
human depravity Of action-from the
voice of relatives and friends, to wait
the call of an Almighty power, till
celestial tribunal shall sit in judgment
over the sinful course of man. The
doleful vibrations of the solemn sound
of the prison bell will soon betoken the
soul of its awful change from the pre-
sent to the future state.
"Fain would / leave this transitory
stage without worldly care, but such
are the feelings Of nature bursting
forth on the agonies Of my life, that /
cannot quit, devoid of husbands and
parents feelings, without casting a
lingering and longing hope for those
from whom am parted. Oh! my
wife, my children, my all that is dear
and injured by me on earth, for thee
with contrite heart, mercy is implor-
I'd, and / trust that by thee forgiveness
IS sought. am brought to due
sense Of my state; / feel as man, but
die as a Christian in the faith of mer-
~ from the all supreme omnipotence
Of divine will, through repentance OF
an iIl-spent life.
"Regard my fate, and kindly remem-
Der the entreaties of my parting breath.
AS an expiring victim of crime, en-
Join ye, the parents Of my dear chill
dren, to bestow on them thy maternal
and as you value their exist
ence, so regulate their morals. Ava
ken them with due knowledge Of the
solemn and awful event OF their latnerS
fate, that they avoid the track of the
evil path of man, check, in the spring
Of their years, the budding growth Of
vice, ere they are overrun with thorns
Of human depravity; cultivate their
minds with spiritual grace, that they
may seek Alliance in an overrulingpow-
er; for thy guide take divine precept
Train up child in the way he should
20, and when he is old he will not de-
part from it, With fervent prayers l
hope that under their tender mothers
care, they may prove a moral example
to posterity, and by the rectitude Of
their lives defy the stigma of censo-
rious world. May their fathers offen-
ces never be cruelty adverted to to en-
bitter their days-may the light of wis
dom direct the way of their course, till
they depart hither to receive the re-
wards Of their virtues from the Hea-
venly Father Of ALL"
