FATAL SHIPWRECK.
BRIGHTON, MARCH 25,—The papers of Monday reported
the loss of a sloop which had foundered about three miles off
Shoreham harbour during the night of Saturday, leaving the
mast above water; and added an expression of apprehension.
that the whole of the crew had been lost, unless taken off by
the Menai steamer, which left the harbour for Dieppe at day-
break on Sunday Morning. The Menai returned to Brighton
this morning, and we now learn that five lives were lost
when the vessel foundered, and that only one of the handl
escaped, being taken off the rigging, as was conjectured. The
vessel turns out to be the Bee, of Goole, bound from Port-
land to London, with stone for the British Museum-
She was a sloop, or billy-boy," and had on board John
Johnson, of Nottingly, Yorkshire (the captain), his wife, and.
their son, a fine boy of eight years of age, William Allwooa
(the mate), James Allen Cole (eeaman), and Frances Noster
(an apprentice). The vessel left Portland on Wednesday
night, and was off Littleharnpton at two o'clock on Satur.
day. The wind was then blowing a brisk gale, which
creased in strength up to ten o'clock, when the captain flaw
ing himself to the eastward of Newhaven stood westwards
in order to make Shoreham harbour. On arriving off the
harbour at half-past one o'clock in the morning, he fetal
that there was not enough water to admit the vessel, and he
therefore cast anchor, with an intention of riding out tb:
storm till day-break. Soon after this, however, he faun
that the vessel was making water very fast, and he had jueC
remarked that he must either slip the chain or get out the
boat, when the vessel veered, fell broadside over, and thea
gradually filled and went down. The captain and am!,
were all engaged with the sails at the moment, and all
wee
and except the mate, together with the captain's
and child, perished. The mate was at the bowsprit s 6
the moment, clearing the jib, and hearing the woman scream
and feeling the ship to be sinking, he let go of the bar
sprit, and as the vessel grounded id six fathom water, he
was carried into the rigging, and secured himself is al
crosstrees. The scream of the wife was the only gotta"
that met his ears, except the roaring of the wind and wilW•
For two hours he remained in his perilous situation, w10:00

perilous situation in a state of the utmost exhaustion.
was treated with the greatest kindless by Captain Gar'
man durind the voyage to Dieppe, and back, and subsorlr
tion is now being raised tq tend him home to Yorkshire`
From him we learn that the captain had another child, foot
years of age, with Its trandmother at Nottingly, who is t"'
owner of the vessel.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sir,,—ln the report of the meeting held at the Londoti
Tavern yesterday, which appeared in The Sun of last nigl:
it is stated that " The meeting shortly after separated
having come to no determination ; but the understanding sad
peared to be that the work should go on, as there appeal/
to be no legal mode of dissolving the Company."
Now, Sir, this is the very reverse of that which took piste"
it is true there was some discussion as to whether the CI
pany could be dissolved legally, but at length Mr. La Ale
the chairman of the committee appointed by the shill!:
holders, proposed a resolution for the immediate dissolution
which was seconded by Mr. Field, and earned by an over
whelmiug majority,
I trust you will insert this contradiction in your a-
pap evening, and remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
