Tilt LATE GALES.

THURSO, N. 8., Nov. 18.
While it was blowing hard last night, with
showers of snow (says John Swanson Esq.), the schooner
Anna Berrie, of Lerwick, brought up in the bay with sails
split. The lifeboat Polly of the National Lifeboat Insti-
tution put off and took out the crew of five men and brought
them safely ashore.
RAMSGATR, NOWDAT NIGHT.
About half-past six o'clock this morning signal guns and
rackets were fired from the North Sand Head and Gall
light ships. It was blowing strong at the time from N.N.W.
The lifeboat Bradford, of the National Lifeboat Institution,
immediately proceeded out, and was met by the harbour
steam tug Aid, which took her in tow, and proceeded direct
for the North Sand Head, when a brigwas oUerved onshore
on the high part of the sand. The lifeboat was towed to
windward and then bore down to the brig, which was ob-
served to and
under water with a very heavy sea breaking
over her. The lugger Florence Nightingale, of Broadstans,
was just leaving her, having succeeded, with great risk and
skill, in rescuing the crew of eight men, and a quarter of
an hour afterwards the vessel turned over and entirely dis-
apewd. It is believed the lugger happened to be near
thee brig when she got upon the land. .As the lifeboat left
the wreck she observed the North Deal and Widmer life-
boats, which belong to the National Lifeboat Institution,
approaching, when they were informed that the crew of
the brig were saved, and the lifeboats thereupon returned.
The vowel was the brig Joseph and Elizabeth, of Whitby,
bound from Shields to Dunkirk with coals. When out at
the land a large quantity of span and rigging was
observed about a mile from the wreck of the brig sup-
posed to belong to another vessel lost during the night.
MUNDESLEY, NORFOLK, Nov. 18.
A number of small vessels were riding off here on
the 16th inst., when it suddenly came on to blow from
the E. N.& a heavy sea was running in, which
caused four of them to part from their chains
or drive ashore. As soon as their perilous position was
seen, the Mundesley old lifeboat went to the rescue, and
succeeded in saving the lives of nine men and two women
from the rigging of the stranded vessels, one man and one
boy having unfortunately perished by being washed over-
board by the heavy seas as their vessel drove ashore.
HASBOROUGH, NORFOLK, Nov. 17.
Intelligence was brought here last evening (reports
the Rev. J. Slater) that a vessel was ashore about two
miles to the south of this place. The wind was blowing
very strong at the time, bringing up a very heavy sea. The
Huddersfield lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution
was launched as soon as possible and proceeded to the wreck
and effected a communication with her, but, unfortu-
nately, the crew, instead of taking the line, went aft, and
the lifeboat then drifted to leeward, and such was the
strength of the boiling tide that all efforts to pull baok
to the vessel were unavailing, and the crew of the lifeboat
were therefore obliged totake the boat back to land in
order that they might along the shore, and launch
again to windward of the wreck. Meantime, how-
ever, before the lifeboat could get idlest again, the ship-
wrecked crew of five men were fortunately got safely
ashore by means of the rocket apparatus. I'he vessel
was the brigantine Anemone, from Dunkirk. Imme-
diately after this, the crew of the lifeboat heard
that another vessel' was ashore at Ostend, about a mile
and a half to the northward of Hasborough, and they,
therefore, hastened to convey the lifeboat thither- but
before they could reach the scene of wreck the men heard
that the lifeboat Recompense, of the National Lifeboat
Institution, stationed at Becton, had preceded them, and
rescued the hands on board. About the same time another
small vessel, laden with wheat, stranded about a mile
south of Hasborough. The crew of two men and a boy
were saved by 111•11116 of the rocket apparatus.

A " F eßif -TOWABLE " C0171%11. —Patin is Con-
stantly favoured with a number of adventurers, both male
and female, and some of them iue so clever as to
take in the wide-awake Parisians. An instance
occurred lately of a young and beautiful English-
woman entering one of the fashionable restaurants,
accompanied by a fashionable Parisian youth. They
walked into one of the commodious cabinets and
mined dejetner. After feasting on the delicacies of
the mean of the day, coffee was ordered according to
custom, and the waiter retired. About an hour after
the lady descended, and requested the waiters not
to disturb her husband, who was in the habit of
indulging in a nap after his breakfast. These
orders were given in good French, but with the inevitable
Britannic accent. The lady said she should return after
a little shopping, and requested the bill to be prepared on
her return. A couple of hours passed away, but no lady
made her appearance, whereupon the waiters entered the
room where they had breakfasted and found the young
gentleman not only asleep, but so thoroughly in a state of
corm that they hod great difficulty in awaking him. When
restoratives lied been administered he cams to his lenses,
and informed the esker d'Agiel, who was present, that he
bad lost his watch and 1,7096.. It mu evident that the
fair damsel had administered a narcotic in order to
rob bim.
