Lieut. David Peat was severely wounded,having been shot in various parts of his body with musket and pistol balls and buck-shot eight of which have been extracted. We are happy to add, how, ever, that hopes of his recovery are entertained, -notwithstanding the number and severity of his wounds. R. Hunter and J. Walker, both petty Officers, were also severely wounded. A Coroner's Inquest was this day held upon the body of Wooldridge, by the Mayor of Foikstone, which; after several hours' deliberation, brought in a verdict of Willa Murder against per sons unknowns The deceased was a man of a brave and most exemplary character—had long served in the Navy—and was universally respected by his Officers. It appears he did not fire until his Officer had fallen by his side; and after having fallen himself, was repeatedly fired on while lying on the ground, as well as Lieutenant Peat, by these ferocious assassins.— The villains did not effect the landing of a single package of goods."

In the centre of the ground, at some distance from each other, stands vem placed for the Preachers. This great assemblage met and separated with the greatest decorum. Sunday week, two young men, of the Renterim. suasion, while preaching in the Market-place, at Ha.
