STrAscEY ABERYSTWITH, Oct. 31.-On Monday last, the weather being favourable, and a prospect of a good take of herrings, a num ber of boats, as well at thiig place as along the coast, collected for the purpose of fishing. A 11 went out in the night, without suspicion of Impenaling danger, and their hopes were in a great measure realized- but at five o'clock in the morning a storm arose at west, and con- tinued to blow hard until about eight, when it increased to a perfect hurricaue. The boats w hich had previously conie to their anchorage. were instantly driven from their moorings and sent in all directions on shore: at this time nil was bustle and confusion-the alarnsbell ringing, houses unroofed, and windows broken, to an extent seldom known before; but, melancholy to relate, in the mnidst of this hor- ror, a most appalling scene presented itself, by the appearance of two fishirg boats advancing towarts the bar, and both soon after in the most distressing state stranded. The one got on shore to che north of the harbour, and with tbe greatest difficultv her crew were saved; but the other sunk in the harbour's mouth,;and seven poor men perished in sight of several hundred spectators, who, although very near, could not possibly render themn the leastassistance. ThusI lament the want of a place ot safety for vesscls in distress-the har- bour being open to the west, and dangerous to approachiin bad wea. tber-whken, at a comparatively trifling expense, a pier migihisave been erected, which not only would have saved the lives of these poor fellows, but many others, and property to an imlmense extent. Six of the bodies have since been thrown on shore, but the other, as yet, has not appeared. BRUTAIlTY CnASTISED.--The attuntion of tlhe pas.- sengers was arrested in the Strand, near Sottkamptoim.street, on Wednesday, by two raffians in dirty garb, ofFending in the most outrageous mannerevery female they met. A gentleman-like young roan remonstrated, when one of tbe ruffians struck him, and was immediatelv knocked down by the gentleman, who was stated to be a Al r. Finc'h. The other fellow rushed upon him, when Mr. Finch hit him in the n outh and dropped him. The gentleman threw his coat into a shop, and in three rounds completelv punished the ruffian for his barbarity, and he lav on the ground thorougbly beaten. The other rufflan escaped after the populace had done with him. MUt RDeEL-On Sunday, the 2%th ult., as a young man named John Green was walking, accompanied by a voung woman, in Iillyman.street, in the town of Moy, county of Tyrone, a yeo- man in the Iloy Corps, named Robert Bell, came utt and said to Green that he should let the girl go unil he would treat her, or that he would take his life. Green refused to let the girl go, on which the yeoman went to his own house, sand returne with a bryonet with which he stabbed Green through the body. Green fdll, and expired on the instant. Bell was not apprehended on Monday even- ing, when the account of the murder was transmitted to Dublin.- Dublin Journal. The idea of honours wvithout salary was well exemplified by Goldsmith, who, in writing to a friend an aceount of his appoint- ment as Protessor of lHistory to the Royal Aeademy, compared it to "granting ruffles without a shirt." A farmer residing at North Curry, near this town, niamed Leigh, about 77 years of age, according to his own account, has drunk, on ani average, 14 pints of cider daily, for 50 years, exclu- sively of other liquors; amounting to aboat 500 hogsheads ! He is now in perfect health, anl continues to indulge in his usual dailyal- lowance..-Tatunto,r C'ouzrer. There is at present a lady residing in this town, who re- collects the tine when there were bat two umbrlUas in Taunton : one belonged to a getlcenan named Noble, aind the other was the pro- petty of the clergyman who offlciated at St lUary Alagdalen, who, on proceeding to his duties on Sandav, hung it up in the porch, where it attracted the gane, admiration, and wondermnent of the whole c>. g:egation._Tau.tton C'oerie'r.
