ful gale from the S.S.W. The sea beating completely over the
vessel for a considerable time before she came on shore, the crew
and passengers, to prevent being washed overboard, got in the
rigging ; and, from the vessel's holding together until the return
of the ebb, the whole of them were eared. Expresses were sent to
Newhaven for the agent to Lloyd's, and the collector of customs ;
the latter not knowing, when he left home, that the crew were
saved, brought with him an apparatus, consisting of a small
mortar, shot, &c. to throw over the ship, and a line to bring the
crew on shore. Though they had previously been saved, it was
the wish of the agent to Lloyd's, and several naval officers and
others, that the collector should try an experiment with his appa-
ratus, which he most readily did ; and, to the surprise Of all pre.
sent, although the mortar carried only a 41b. shot, it threw a line
100 yards long completely over the vessel,such as would have enabled
the people on shore to have hauled from the vessel a small hawser,
by which the crew might have been saved, had there been no other
means at hand more easy. We understand the vessel was loaded
with 155 butts and 104 hogsheads of sherry wine, and that about
117 full butts and 98 full hogsheads, with all the ship's stores, are
Raved. Great praise Is due to Mr. Rarer, of Eastdean, who
went to the ship at great hazard, with a lantern, as a signal to the
crew, when the sea nearly overwhelmed him two or three time,.
Lieut. Clark, R.N., was also very active its assisting to save the
crew, and protecting the property from plunder.

CRITICAL. ESCAPE.--On Wednesday last, as Dr. Good,
of Guildford-street, who had been to visit a patient in Great Queen.
street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, was returning to his carriage, he had
an extremely narrow escape from almost certain destruction. Tl;3
carriage-door had been left open, waiting the Doctor's return,
and the coachman was standing at the horses' heads, when mitt of
the Woolwich baggage vans came by, and the animals in it selling
fright at the sudden opening of an umbrella, started off at full
gallop ; the wheel of the van came in contact with that of the
coach, and caused so powerful a concussion as to upset the litter
just at Hr. Good wits in the act of ascending the steps ; he, hew.
ever, by a sudden effort retreated in time to escape the crash ; iiio
wheel then struck the outer home, and both were knocked down ;
the coachman shared the same fate, and was run over by the wen,
which continued its career with terrific velocity fora wpm:Wahl*
distance. The coachman was taken up unhurt. hut one or the
horses is completely disabled, and the coach itself quite shattered.
