families of rank and fashion), a total and a fearful change
took place. Torrents of rain and hurricanes of wind
converted the calm sea and the smiling landscape into
boisterousness and gloom. A storm ensued, to which for
extreme violence and length of duration, the equal, we
believe, has not occurred at so early a period of the season
for several years p sot.
The gale commenced from the North East and by
North, on the afternoon of the 31st ult., and continued
raging without intermission all the following day, Sunday.
Its destructive effect., happily for our own feelings, have
in this immediate neighbourhood been witnessed only in a
mitigated degree—compared, at least, with what there is
too much reason to fear has, at no great distance from
hence, been experienced. There are from 12 to 15 yes-
sds on shore from Cromer Jetty to Bkkeney—and three
devoted harks were seen to founder (all hands perishing on
board), viz., a schooner off Sherringham, a small soap off
our lighthouse, and a schooner off Tiimmingliam.
The following is a list of vessels on shore, between this
place and Waborn

AT CROMER.-The Advance, of Sutherland, G. Shep-
perd, master, brig of 240 tons burthen, in ballast ; she
came on shore about 200 yards to the northward of the
jetty, at 10 o'clock on Saturday night.
AT RUNTON. —The Regard, of Newcastle, brig of 170
tons, Henry Lesk, master, in ballast, drove ashore between
11 and 12 on Saturday night. The captain with five
men, comp sing his crew, and three passengers, (one of
them the wife of a captain in the Baltic trade, himself on a
voyage to St. Petersburgh,) assisted by the Ru, ton and
Cromer boatmen, got all safe to lsnd. Lesk has lost every
thing, for which he is the more to be pitied; since had he
been less attentive to secure the lives and property of
others, his personal apparel at least might now be in his
own possession.
TINDER BEESTON Hat.s..—The Norfolk, a brig of i 0
tons, the mast-es name we believe is Bayfield, in hadast,
the property of Wheatley, Esq., of Mundesley, drove
ashore at 9 o'clock P at. on Saturday.
AT SUERRINGIIAM.-The Endeavour, of Scarborough,
77 tons, Thomas Dal,son, master, in ballast, a schooner in
the bottle trade, ran on shore at ten on Saturday nighti
r principal damage from a larger vessel running foul of
her.

The Newcastle, of South Shields, 238 tons burthen,
George Pennington, master, in ballast, with not less than
11 hands on board. This vessel, in driving ashore at one
o'clock on Sunday morning, pitched her !tows against the
stern rf the Endeavour, and did her considerable damage.
The Venelia, of Sunderland, 145 tons burthen, John
Wardle, master, came ashore about ten p.m. on Saturday.
The Friends, of Weymouth, of between 150 and 200
tons burthen, Campbell, maser, in ballast.
The William and Anne, of Blyth, master's name not
known, about 200 tons burthen, in ballast; this fine brig
rode out the gala most gallantly during the whole of
Saturday night and chief part of the following day;
but at length fer cables having given way, she drove ashore
between six and seven on Sunday evening.
The above nine vessels were part of a fleet of light col-
liers, which meeting the gale were compelled by its vio-
lence to put about; and amidst the dreadful misfortunes
which we have to record respecting others, it is gratifying
to add that the lives on board all these were, without a
single exception, most providentially saved There are,
however, several other vessels on shore between Waborn
and Blakeney, and thence to Wells and still further along
the coast, respecting the fate of whose crews we are as
yet unacquainted.
Many of the Cromer boats were, at the moment when
the storm carne on, employed in the herring fishery off
Scarborough and another parts of the York-hire coast.
Of course an intense anxiety was felt by the families of
the crews for their safety. We are happy to say that letters
from those fishermen have been received since Sunday,
stating that all had weathered out the gale, except one, on
board of which was Joseph West, master, and two other
hand., who are still missing.—Norfclk Chronicle.
CLEY, SE rr. 4.—Destructive gde on the Norfolk coast
on Sala-thy and Sunday, August 31, and September 1:
The morning of Saturday was remarkably calm, but the
unusually high tide which we had was looked upon as the
harbinger of a gale, which we are sorry to say visited us
in the course of three hours from the N.N.E., and has
proved the most destructive both in loss of life and pro•
perty along this coast which has occurred within the last
seven.een bears. The wind continued to increase through-
out the Saturday afternoon, and towards Ligh water time
(eight o'clock) the sea ran mountains high, rolling com-
pletely over our beach in every direction. The tide took
possession of the quay for some thine, and it flowed a
considerable distance up ur streets; about this time and
during the night the following vessels came ashore in this
dietrik t, all hands saved :

On Blakeney Sands—The Henry and Harriot, of and
to Sunderland from Laidon, in ballast, J. Lawson, master,
expected to be-got off; Sp, roa J. Angues, crop); Charle,-

from Colchester, in ballast, has b, comp a total wreck ;
