DREADFUL GALES AND LOSS OF

LIFE.

DOTER, MONDAY NOON.—For the last forty-eight
hours wo have experienced a most terrific gale. It has
not been equalled off this part of the coast for several
years, and the wrecks and loss of life it has occasioned
off Deal, Dungeness, and other places southward of this
port, have been truly dreadful. Amongst the most
deplorable was one that occurred on the Goodwin
Sands. At daybreak yesterday (Sunday) morning the
people on the look-out reported a vessel ashore on the
" Goodwin," but her condition they were unable to dis-
cern owing to the violence of the weather and the great
sea on. Several luggers managed to put off, and upon
nearing the spot a melancholy wreck presented itself. The
vessel, evidently timber laden, was partly buried in the
sands, with her foremast standing, and to get at her was
perfectly impossible. A formidable sea was beating over
her with awtul violence, and tearing the vessel to pieces.
The boats endeavoured to obtain her name and port,
but failed. Before the boats left her destruction was
complete; all had been swallowed up; not a vestige re-
mained. Her crew, it is feared, all perished. By ap-
pearance the ill-fated vessel was a foreigner. There
were isetween twenty and thirty vessels in the roads
during the gale; some fortunately kept a safe anchor-
age; others lost both anchors, and escaped injury by
running out to sea. Another fatal wreck, we regret to
say, took place in the course of Saturday night,
in Pevensey Bay, near Hastings. The unfortunate
ship was the Addolorata, of and from Naples, which
had sailed from the Thames on the Thursday
previous with a miscellaneous cargo. In the height
of the gale she became unmanageable, and drove
ashore. Nine of the crew perished, and three
men and a boy came ashore on a raft and were saved.
The vessel and cargo are completely lost, and the former
has gone to pieces. At Shoreham the gale was severely
felt. At one period it almost could be said to have
raged with the violence of a hurricane, and serious
apprehensions were entertained for the safety of the
shipping in the district. To the northward of the Nore
several losses are reported. About seven o'clock on
Sunday morning the master of the Diligence, belonging
to Brightensea, near Wivenhoe, described two vessels to
have foundered in the Swin, about half a mile from each
other, on the south side of the Gunteet, midway between
the beacon and the south-west buoy; one to all appear-
ance was a large, and the other a three muted vessel.
Farther northward on the Ganfleet were wrecked two
other vessels—namely, the Albion, from Sunder:and, and
the Bridgeholm ; both crews were saved. The above is
but a very brief statement of the casualties that have
been communicated to us. A heavy gale is still blowing
from the S.S.W.

STEEPLE-CHASE AT KELSO.—A steeple-chase came
off on Saturday last over the farms of Bartichill and
Eccles Newtown (two miles of fair hunting country).
The ground was marked out by Messrs. John Dove and
T. Penny. The following gentlemen entered and
started:—Mr. Verschoyle's ch m Gypsy, Mr. Smedley's
b m Bradfield, Mr. Bradford's b g Mud Student, Mr.
Midgley's br g Jack Sheppard, Mr. lieweitt's b m
Georgina, Mr. Daniel's br g Callender. At starting
Mr. Verschoyle went off with a strong lead, which he
kept up to the artificial timber in front of Mr. Dore's
house, when he and Mr. Daniel, who kept close up to
