AWFUL LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY.-
Letters have just been received by Mr. West, the Secretary of the
Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Benevolent Society, giving
information upon a most melancholy loss of life at Clifden in Gal.
way, and of a great destruction of property of a large body of fisher.
men at Dingle, in Kerry, both occasioned by the tremendous storm
of the 26th ultimo. The following extracts have been handed to
us by the gentleman to whom the communications were addressed :
" The enclosed account of five persons lost on the 26th ult. reached
me this day ; the widows are all poor, one of them is really destitule.
About two. and-twenty individuals were lost (all fishermen) on the
morning referred to, much the greater part of whom have left fa-
milies. All the accounts that reach me I shall forward without
delay. On Tuesday week we were visited by the most awful
storm that was ever remembered in this country, and almost all
the fishing boats were driven from their moorings and damaged,
and seven were entirely lost; in every boat there were eight men, who
have a share in the fishing, and so many families are consequently
left quite destitu:e by the loss of their boat, as they would not be
able to replace them. One poor man lying ill with the measles, and one
child just dead 1 when the roof was blown off' his wretched cabin,
and his boat lost; they are now without food, fire, or means
of procuring it, and in a roofless house. Another poor
man has lost two boats before in the last three years, and
had (by joining seven others) procured one this winter, when that
also was wrecked, and he is now, with his companions and their
wives and children, in the most deplorable state. From the remote
situation of this place, and there being 6,000 inhabitants in the
little town of Dingle (mostly fishermen's families), their poverty and
distress is beyond description. I hope you will have the kindness
to interest yourself in their favour.

We understand the visit of her Majesty and
Prince Albert to Brighton will be expressly for the benefit of
change of air for the Princess Royal, who has been so far in-
disposed as to render this rather inconvenient removal of the
Court for a short period absolutely necessary. His Royal
Highness Prince Albert has never yet seen Brighton.
GENEROSITY OF THE PMENIX FIRE
OFFICE.—On the 4th of August last, Mr. Robinson, of Car-
nabv, near Bridlington, lost a horse by lightning, at Benning-
holme, but not supposing he was insured from lightning, said
nothing of his loss to the agent at this office until he renewed
his insurance last Christmas, and which was then mentioned
only in a casual way. 'I he agent, however, presented the
case to the Board of Managers in London, who, on receiving
the particulars and value of the horse, immediately ordered
50/. to be_ paid to the insured; which was as satisfactory to
him as it was creditable to the office.—Hull Advertiser.
