POSTSCRIPT                  

                     

On Friday afternoon HIS EXCELLENCY took water for Parramatta ; and returned to

town yesterday evening.

         

The unfortunate accident that happened to the Lady Barlow was chiefly owing to the sudden change of wind : the direction it blew from at first forced the ship between     the two mooring chains, which so girded       her that she could not quickly veer to the     wind ; and before the chains could be wore away she heeled so very considerably, that a great quantity of oil and other weighty   articles flying to leeward, she was instantly

overset.

We learn that the Settlement and neigh- bourhood of Hawkesbury almost wholly     escaped the violent storm on Tuesday last, its extreme seventy apparently confining     itself to this part oí the Colony. Several gardens were totally washed away by the   prodigious influx of the water, which poured in torrents, leaving behind nothing

but a vacant waste.

Tim Macnamara, stockman to Mr. H.   Kable, yesterday underwent an examination, and was sentenced, for repeated negligence, to receive a severe corporal punishment ; but which at the intercession of his master, and   his own promises to amend his conduit, was

remitted.

And Lawrence Carroll received a corporal punishment for neglect of work.
