Its motion was flow and majestic. Upon its approach to the house it began to whirl round with rapidity, accompanied by a rattling noife. A large ftack of ftraw was raised in one mafs to a confiderable height in the air; and a beam of timber thirty-three feet long was hurled feveral feet from the place where it lay. Small flanes were heaped together in mounds; and the fervants, horfes, and cattle were forcibly driven about in various directions.

At the time of his death, he fold honey and milk to the inhas bitants of Verfailles. MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT. THE manufactures and trade of GLASGOW continue in a flourishing ftate, and furnish at prefent full employment for every hand that can labour. The natural effect of this fa vourable state of trade is evident in the increafing population of the town, which is advancing rapidly; there being more new buildings carrying on than has been known in any former year. The very extravagant prices paid at prefent for cotton-wool, however, places both the Spinner and the manufacturer in very unpleasant circumftances. The fpinner, if not working at a positive loss, is at least working without any adequate profit; and the manufacturer is Jaying in his goods higher than ever they were known to coft before: which circumfcribes his profits even during the continuance of a good demand, and lays the foundation of a heavy lofs whenever a change of circumftances takes place. The Weft India and American trades to the Clyde increase very faft; of which we have a proof in the Leeward Island fleet lately arrived, the fhips destined for this port being more numerous by one-half than in any former inftance. The importers of cotton-wool, both here and at other ports, have this year been extremely fuccefsful, from the great advance of the article. The profits upon the imports of cotton into the Clyde alone, fince the first of January last, will be found to exceed the enormous fum of one hundred and fifty thousand pounds. The late large arrivals from the West Indies have renewed the inconveniences fo long complained of in the port of Lax DON; which, however, we hope will now be of fhort duration, as an act has pafled for establishing the Weft India Dock Company, for forming the propofed docks in the Ifle of Dogs. The delay occafioned by a three-years oppofition, produced a difpofition to concur in almost any plan of relief that could be carried into effect; but we cannot help thinking that a fituation nearer the prefent feat of trade, would have proved much more convenient. The Shipping concerns of the EAST INDIA COMPANY, is a fubject that has frequently produced much controverfy between the parties interested therein; the following statements will furnish fome information relative thereto, viz. An Account of the Tonnage of Goods laden in India in the four Years 1793, 1794, 1795, and 1796.

A comparative view of the expences of a fhip of about 800 tons burthen, as estimated by the mafter attendant in 1791, as the peace coft; by the owners in 1798, as the war cost and a statement furnished by Mr. Scott, being the actual cost of a fhip contracted for in the present season: Mafter Attendant. Mr. Scott. Owners. L.13,600 £.12,000 1,885. 1,885 The number of fhips at prefent building for the East India company is 12 of Soo tons each and one of 1200 tons; fix are expected to launch in September next, five in November, one in February 1800, and one in November. The state of the Copper Trade has lately undergone much investigation, in confequence of the great and unufual rife of the price of this article: the rapidity of the advance will appear by. the following account of the prices of fine copper, from October 1798, to the 1ft of March laft 1798, Oct. 25, £106 2 81799, Jan. 3, £113 12 9 In confequence of this great advance of an article fo neceffary for the navy and merchants hipping, and of fo much importance as a material in our manufactures, a bill was brought into parliament, to reftrain the exportation of copper by the East India company, and to admit the importation of it free of duty, for the king's fervice; but the manufacturers of Bir mingham being apprehenfive that fuch a measure might in its confequences, inftead of relieve, ing them rather increase their diftrefs, as arrangements might be made, by perfons interested in the copper trade, which would totally defeat the object of the bill, endeavoured to get a clause introduced for ftopping the export, and admitting the importation free of duty, whenever the price should exceed that which, upon a fair and impartial examination, fhould appear neceffary to the fupport of the British mines, and to enable the manufacturer to meet competitors in the foreign markets. Such a régulation would probably best answer the end in view, of obtaining a fufficient fupply at a moderate price; and should the prefent price continue, it is to be hoped the subject will be re-affumed early in the next feffion.
