SHOCKING DEATH OF TWENTY-FOUR

Till LATE GALE.—lnformation as received yesterday that
the sloop Zebra, Cooper master, of Exeter, with a
con-
sisting of 27 young horses from Perros, in Brittany, for the
first-mentioned port, was caught in% heavy gale, on Thurs-
day, the 30th ult., when halt.chaneel over; the sea was so
furiously violent, that the batches had to be battened down
(made water tight), but the horses breaking loose, com-
menced kicking and plunging about, and owing to the terrific
gale, it was impossible for those who had charge of them to
get down and secure them : the vessel was for a time on her
beam ends, the horses all getting on one side, but she soon
righted. The gale having abated in the morning, Captain
Cooper considered it prudent to bear up for Jersey, where on
opening the hatches, 24 of the animals were found dead, sup-
posed to have been suffocated. Tae loss incurred is immense,
as most of the horses were of the value of 001. each, and
were in good condition when shipped.
