THE GALS.

HAYUNG ISLAND, HANTS, MONDAY Ntewr.
Yesterday we had the &reset tempest ever re-
membered (says the Rev. C. Hardy). At half-past 4
o'elnck in the afternoon intelligesco was received from the
wart guard at Langston Harbour that there wan a vessel
on the Woolaeoer sand banks. Hones were at once pro-
cured, and the Olive Leaf lifeboat of the National
Lifeboat Institution was drawn on her carriage
to the Western ferry and launched, but on
her arriving at the other side the coast guard
officers informed the crew that their services were unavail-
ing, se the unfortunate veiled had literally gone to pieces.
She was the brig Joanna Elizabeth, of Hamburg. As
soon as she struck the crew, from seven to nips in number,
as well as could be made out through the thick gloom of
the tempest, took to the rigging. In a quarter of an hour
or twenty minutes the mast went by the board, the ship
broke up into fragments, and every soul perished. It IA
supposed that the captain's wife and family were on board,
women's and children's clothing having come ashore. The
lifeboat returned to the Hayling side. This morning at
daylight her crew took her outride the harbour amongst
the fleeting wreck, expecting that when outside their help
would be needed by the crews of stranded vessels. None,
however, were to be seen.
KINGSDOWN, KENT, MozahtT NIGHT.
A brig was observed yesterday afternoon (reports
T. Sydenham Clarke, Pm.) with her ensign in the
i , and union jack reversed. She was adrift,
retignippaTently sprung a leak, and was drifting among
the shipping in the Dawns. The wind was fearfully
violent, and the sea so rough that no ordinary
boat could be launched from the shore. The Sabrina, new
lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution, was conse-
quently launched and made for the brig, but before the boat
could reach her, a cruising boat from Deal got to her, and
took her in band, and apparently worked her towards
Ramsgate harbour. This lifeboat has only been on her
station a few days, and this is the first time she has been
out on service, and great credit is due to the crew for their
daring in launching the boat during such wind and weather.
They are delighted with their new lifeboat, in which they
are ready to venture oat in any weather.
POOLE, DORSET, MOI(DAT
It blew a terrific gale from S.E. yesterday (states G.
Neave Penney, Esq.), and several venal, sot ashore. The
Manley Wood lifeboat, belonging to the National Lifeboat
Institution, was launched and taken out in tow of the steam-
ing Royal Albert into the Bay, but was not able to render
any service in saving life, which was done by the steamer.
After being afloat ten hours, information was received that
the Elizabeth, of Ezeter, was ashore on Ohrietchurch Bar,
and the 'mistimes of the lifeboat was asked for, as the
rocket apparatus could not reach the vessel. The boat was
accordingly taken on her carriage overland, but reaching the
scene of the wreak, the crew hod been taken off, although
three out of seven had perished.
GREAT YARMOUTH. NOIDAT.
Last night, during a gale of wind, the brig Pero, of
Wbitburn, Bridlington, master, bound from London to
Hartlepool, in ballast, came ashore off this place. The
Surf belonging to the National Lifeboat lohe-
tion,was at once launched and fortunately saved theat ship-

wreaked crew.
The same lifeboat again put off and rescued the crew of
the baron( Reliance, of Whitby, bound from Middles-
borough for Dieppe, with a cargo of coal& She had lost
three anchors and drives foul of the schooner, Sarah Ann,
of Jitney.
While the small lifeboat wan thus nobly engaged in
saviog the crew of the Reliance the large lifeboat of the
institution went off to the Sarah Ann and fortunately
succeeded in bringing her sad her crew safely into har-
bour.

WORTHING. MONDAY NIGH?.
During a very heavy gale from 8.8. W. yesterday after-
noon (says W. H. Denoett, Esq.), the lifeboat of the
National Lifeboat Institution was taken along the coast
and launched to the assistance of a brig. which was ashore
at Kingston Cove. Oa arriving alongside, however, the
Tenet wale found to be abandoned, and the lifeboat, there-
fore, returned to her station after an absence of twelve
hours.
