J. M, . In t1i summer of 1780, the Eojal tieorti&latatel three-decker, -of 84 guns, nfter an absence of two years on a foreign fetation, tastletnehor iii the Snithead Roads. AlJIhe e Dddf7ajweek' which had been femplojed in removing all traces of hex Waff voyage, and a in thorough cleansing, the Captain issued in.7aiion .to the offi cers of :Le fleet in the Splihead waters, and to the nobility nd gentry of Ports moath, for H gratid ball on board. The interior "of "the upper deck, freshly painted from stem to sternand elegantly decora ted appeared like a floating palace. The appointed hour for the commence ment of the file had arrived, and the har bor waa gradually -covered- by hundred of boats, some carrying the invited guests to the Royal George, and others, attracted by ari6shy towttaess ' tbe" delicate homage which iBntlsh "rjaval officers are accljstom ed to beslow,uponv beauty. All that the moat refined taste , could sujrerest, and tne most lavish expenditure procure, had been bestowed on the embellishment ot tne ves seL The deck, whose entire space was appropriated to tbe ball, resembled a vast pillared halL over which, from the masts and yards, floated the Intermingled folds of numberless flags and streamers ot every variety of color. Instead of tapestry, the sides were covered with velvets and silk hansrins. -Amonsr tbe furniture was to be seen the most precious ivory work, and divans and chairs of rose and sandal woods, carved and fashioned in a manner to rival the moat ingenious Chinese taste. The awning was composed of carpets of the richest Oriental fabric, ornamented . witb gold and silver embroidery, and the rugs before tbe state rooms were productions or Cachemire, which might have figured as articles of luxury in the wardrobe of prince ly dames. The sideboards glittered with gold and silver vessels, among which was a magmn cent vase, set with costly jewels, the gift of an East Indian prince. Otto of roses in crystal jars, from niches expressly made, scattered in profusion its delicious perfume. In a word the whole scene, with- its splen did decorations, resembled rather the ban queting room of a royal palace, than the interior of a flag ship. After the Admiral had cast a last satis fied glance upon the tasteful embellish men is, and had passed in review the brilli ant preparations, he repaired to tbe deck, where in state, and surrounded by bis offi cers, as a king by bis nobles, be took his post to receive his guests. Whilst a select band of music filled the air with melody, from every side there was seen gliding over tbe smooth waters towards the ship, craily dressed boats bearing the elite of beauty and nobility from Portsmouth, Port the Isle of Wight, and other neigh boring points on the coast The universal joy Cthe officers and guests was enhanced by the beauty of the night, not a cloud Ormming the radiance of the stars, and not abreaih of air ruffling the surface of the sea. .And yet, destruction was maliciously hovering in this hour of festivity, over the finest ship in the fleet. Already death in visibly sat grinning behind the seats of these pleasure devoted guests. Of mutiny -there was no apprehension, as the whole crew were all true and loyal, and warmly attached to the commanding officer, nor was there any possibility of a leak, as the utmost precautions had been adopted, and the powder magazine had been additional ly secured by triple fastenings. Who could have believed that tbe swelling of a gentle west wind, would be sufficient to produce a catastrophe, as unparalled in its character as in its awful incidents I 'About two hours later, as the ball was in full movement, there arose, not a light Tbreezevbut-rather a breath of air, from the "south-west, which hardly stirred a curl of liair among the crowd of dancing beauties. The oscillation, which it brought as it stole across the motionless face of the water, appears to have been unnoticed. But, in .scrutable fate ! This insensible puff of air, not sufficient to draw a sound from the cords of an .rfEolian harp, by the under .swell it created, disturbed the equilibrum of two immense chain anchors which, with some heavy guns, had been stowed in the .open ports, and, on account of the calm -weather, bad not been secured by fasten- inga, v This ponderous mass started from its balance by the heaving of the sea, with lightning speed rolled to the opposite side jo( the vessel, and in a moment threw the Royal George upon her side One heart piercing cry of woe from a housandroices, a sound before which the atoutest sailor quailed, rose in frightful dis sonance, and broke upon the startled ears ' those Jo . the surrounding ships, while fibabore the death wail to the adjacent coasts, w bera it rolled along, tike a thun 4er pali deadening the roar of the surf, and striking with terror the shuddering in- fcabrttntsy JHJ JU Tbo lotv masts tramedtatelr bowed, to ur(kc of th Bea, which at first; as it -Were overawed brlthe suddeil cessation of ,. ii prevailing. jo, receqed ta .-wwe cir r.l. and then at miir.lrrv returned, as if to -tb exeentioa of fearful judgment, pour-1 tb ports iota the innermost recesses.

A few moments sufficed to complete the terrific catastrophe. From . alt the neigh boring vessels', boats were sent to attempt to save' some of the drowning thousands, but tbe vast whirlpool caused by the sink ing ship, prevented a near approach Only a few of the most experienced sailors, who climbed to ttn topmasts, as the Royal George for the last tinje heaved erect, were enabled to save themselves by swimming. Alk the rest, in the midst of a jubilee of pleasure, fell a prey to the drowning sea. THE TRI-WEEKLY COMMERCIAL.

READ AND BE CONVINCED. The"PhiUdelphia Saturday Gasette," seys of Dr. Hoofland's German Bitters. "It is seldom that we recommend what are term ed Patent Medicines, to the confidence and patron age of our readers; and therefore when we recom mend Dr. Hoofland's German Bitters, we wish it to be distinctly understood that we are not speaking of the nostrums of the day, that are noised about for brief period and then forgotten after they have done their guilty race of mischief, but of a medicine long established, universally prised, and which has met the heart y approval of I he faculty itself." "Scott's Weekly," said, Aug. 26 : "Dr. Hoofland's erman Bitters, manufactured by Dr. Jackson, are now recommended by some of the most prominent men.-v.-s of the faculty as sn article of much effica cy tn ca vs ot female weakness, rerwns jtt-.ji-tated con-iationa willfiod these Bitters d vantage ous to .heii calth as we know from experience IBS salutary effect the; have upon weak systems."
