THE LATE BALE AND lIIGII TIDE.
OCT. .27.—0 n Sunday meriting last, the moon
being caly one day past the full, we were visited with a most
trentmduus storm of wind from the W.S.W. which brought
with it such a sea as to cause a higher title than has been
witneted here for nearly half a century. The whole coast,
fi on Cnic!tester to Arundel Harbour, especially whore it was
exposed to the united Cary of wind and weather, has suffered
du:Ai:llly. The Ilew embankments at Chitihani, which were
nearly completed, arc demolished; and Blase at Sitliesham,
which were !hushed and deemed secure, have snared nearly the
same fate. As Aldwick, Bognor. and Felphani, so much damage
is done as cannot at present be ascertained.
The premises of the Countess of Newburgh, Sir T. 11. Pechelle,
Mrs. I..Alaile, Mr. Wonham, and others, which were defended
at high water ma:k by walls of roc..s of immense size, could not
withsutnd this tempest. Pleas of rock, mune weighing 5 cwt.
It re v3:n up and canted to a great distance. A range ut coach.
houses. at the hotel at Bognor, were levelled; and the whole of
the sow of fishermen's shop., to the eastward of that place, with
every mall fmerucut on. to.tt part of the coast.
Mr. Bilitteit's I;.l3:ary, and al the Loaves adjoining, were
filled with water, and have received great injury. The sea made
over the brach at I:elplicnt levels, end it was with De:A ditlicuity
that the cattle were got out. A hay rick, belon,giog to A.r. It.
Charlett, about 1..: o its, flouted ;rain its situat.un, and was
into the load. The Howe of Mr. Isaac Satiha, at the Bridge,
was so suddenly filled, that the last of his children was taken out
when the water was up the father's chin.

tially these inundations occurred by day-light; had they
happened in the night. this account would have been melancholy
indeed. We are thankful in being able to say that
