The Friendship has visited three ports in Indta and performed her voy age in 8 months and 5 days. NEW-YORK, Nov. 27. The wind for the last eight days has been light, from the east ward, which has almost entirely prevented vessels from going to sea. There are now nearly for ty sail detained by this state of Weather, and yesterday afternoon a violent gale‘set in front S, E. with heavy rain. We fear much damage wilt be done on the coast. Thanks to the spirit and en terprise of our merchants, in des pite of the opinion, that“ we had better abandon the ocean, ” merica is still enabled to exhibit, in the ports of Europe, such spe cimens of naval architecture, and such seamanship and sailors, as command the admiration of the first commercial states, and the respect of their rulers. We extract the following arti cle from a Liverpool paper, which details the Prince of Wales’ visit to that city : “ In the N. W. corner of the Queen’s dock was placed, in a most eligible position, the new American East-Indiaman called the Orozimbo, of Baltimore, 800 tons burthen, consigned to Mr. W. Lees, American merchant of this town, esteemed for the ex cellence of her materials and workmanship, beauty of her model, and symmetry of her pio portion, one of the finest mer chant ships belonging to that na tion. This ship was decorated for the occasion most magnifi cently, and in correct nautical stjle, with an immense variety of flags and colours of the most live ly and various hues, and to whtch the commanders of all the other American ships in the harbor contributed, extending from th'e head of the foretop gallant royal, dowri the royal stay, to the ex tremity of the flying-jibbooni, and to the halyards of every mast, fore and aft, from yard-arm to yard arm, both on the star board and larboard sides, reach ing in One continued line of co lours, from the sky scrapers and step royals, down to the decks without interruption.— A large ■t'-nglish ensign, in which was tastefully tmbroidered the plume offeathet s,wa* hoisted at the head of the foretop gallant royal ; and in the right hand of the figure head, an Indian Chief as large as life, and of very exquisite carved work, were placed three very large real ostrich feathers,so disposed as to resemble the Prince’s Crest; and the other an Indian wampum, emblematic of peace and harmony. Ihe tops and yards were manned with 130 fine American seamen, all uniformly dressed in biue jack ets and white trovyaers, with blue ribbons round their hats ; who on the approach of the Royal Party, saluted them with three hearty cheers, which were returned by the surtounding populace, who had been collecting in thousands, front the moment the deCOraiions commenced in the morning, and were repeated on their departure. The entire of the main and quar- 1 ter deck* were occupied by ele gantly dressed ladies ot tfte first families in town, which, added to the brightness of the atmosphere, and pleasant breeze, just suffi cient to display with the happiest effects tlie flags and colours so judiciously arranged, conspired to make the spectacle the most magnificent of the kind, and in duced die Prince to stop his car riage amd, with loud admiration, express his gratification for the very handsome tribute of respect shewn him by her consignee and by the Sons of Columbia.” “patriot.

On the loth ult. in Green, vilie district, Mrs. Elkin, the amiable consort of Mr. Alfred E. Elkin, was unfortunately (hot through the heart by bet husband.

Mrs. Elkin was hufy a., bout fonue thing near the fire— to which place the muzzle of the gun was directed ; he oh ferved her flotation, and turn, ed the gurt from her more across the houfc:—But as fate would have it, her business called her to that part of the house, where he had jult turned the gun, and as she palled, it went off and ‘hot her dead. She only lived to call out,“ O Lord, Mr. El kin you have shot me,” and fell in the arms of her husband.
