GALE IN THE CHANNEL.

BRIGHTON, FRIDAY.
Since writing yesterday, strong fears were entertained
for the safety of a boat and her crew, which, it appears,
had not been heard of during Thursday, but which came
ashore at Brighton about 8 o'clock in the evening, there
being thousands of persons on the beach to hail her safe
arrival. The crew—John Smith, master—had encoun-
tered great risks ; but it seems they had been detained
at sea in the endeavour to find their nets.

The damage done to boats and loss of net=, &c., is esti-
mated at considerably over 1,0001. ; and, as this loss•has
'to be borne in a great measure by the poor fishermen—
many of the masters being only working men—it is to
be hoped that steps will be taken, by subscription, to
make good the loss, but more particularly so in the case
of the widows and orphans who are left entirely desti-
tute. Active steps have been taken to secure the nets,
but those which have been picked up are almost useless.
Steps also have been taken to find the missing bodies, it
being supposed that some might have been washed away
with the nets and embedded in the rocks. Up to 4 o'clock
only one body had been found (that of the younger
Grenyer), it having been washed ashore near to New-
haven.

One circumstance connected with the storm impresses
the belief that its effects must have been felt by some
larger vessels, for ou Thursday morning a small boat,
with three or four men in her, was seen off land, going
seaward, the sea at the time being too rough to attempt
to land, and it is supposed that they had discovered
some ship which had been wrecked during the gale.
