During the while of yester.lay, the beach exhi-
bited all the bustling appearance of a tish matt,
there being, besides the reenter Brighton boats, a
number of tuggers from Fotkstene and Hastings.
The beach exhibited nearly as mach bustle
on the preceding evening, but in the. midst of
the businees. an affair took place which nuu.d••d
the sale, and has since caused much inutiity
amongst the persons concerned in the fishery.—
A Lieutenant, and some of the crew of a
schooner, on this station, had come on shore
in a small boat, having on its stern, •• The Jame
of Buxton," and while lying on the beach, was
supposed by two persons of a Folkstone lugger, to
have been a common ferry-boat. and, under that
idea, they boarded her, for the purpose of uniting
off to their vessel, then riding at anchor, a short did-
timer from the shore; at this the Lieutenant took
great umbrage, and, with threat., of veneance, or-
dered the men to return, which they readily did,
on finding out their mistake; hut, on the boat's ap-
proachiug the shore, flue of them, part owner of
the logger, was instantly seized, alien the other, to
prevent a similar detention, jumped into the mt..
*sill, whilst making for the shine. bad a rope twist-
ed Mend his neck by the schooner's crew, by
which he was SOOll hauled into their power, in an
almost lifeless, state ; this roused the toiliguistion of
die svectators on the beach, who reaeurd the poor
fellow from his assailants, and conveyed kin to
the Catherine %flier( public-honse, where medical
a-sistaisee, with humane atteution, foitutiatel. for
all parties, succeeded to restoring the nearly-ex-
tinguished spark of life, and lie now lies. though
extremely ill. in a fair way of recovery. Just as
the boat was p K off with the other man, Mr.
Hargraves, our Huth Cumibilile, on being informed
of the circumstance, ran down to the beach, and
••siai•iutaied anti the Lieutenant, on the impi 0-
finely of his cooduct ; but to tin purpose. Soon
alter, some of the Folkstone and Ilastiogs men had
put to sea, the schooner weighed anchor, awl stood
after them.
