PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPES.

Three young men of very respectable connec-
tions at Jersey, !►ad a most providential escape a
few days since. They went on board a small boat
of not more than three tons, in St. Brelade's Bay,
to spend the night in fishing ; they had only
provisions to last them till the next day, when,
about three leagues from the Corbiere Rocks,
the wind freshened so much that with all their
efforts, they could not regain the shore, and were
blown to sea, out of sight of any land. The
wind increased to a storm, and they had no pro-
visions of any kind but a small conger eel, of
about 4 pounds weight, which the day before they
had caught, and dried in the sun. In this state of
distress and peril they remained 4 days and 3 nights,
a prey to all the horrors of death,,which appear-
ed to them inevitable. On one side they were seized
with the pangs of hunger and thirst ; on the other
hand, they dreaded that every wave would swallow
up their frail bark. On Thursday night, one of
them (Jean De St. Croix) could no longer resist
this accumulation of horrors, and fell into a state
of perfect insensibility ; early on Saturday morn-
ing, the two other men, nearly expiring with
hunger, thirst, and fatigue, were on the point
of leaving their boat to the mercy of the waves,
when they perceived land, which they knew to be
the Jersey coast ; hope re-animated them, and
after exhausting their last efforts, they had the
happiness of getting into Saint Brelade's Bay.—
Abraham Saint Croix and Charles Lee were so
weak, that it was with difficulty they could be
brought to Capt. Alexander's house. John De St.
Croix, who had remained for two days in a state
of insensibility, was carried to that hospitable man-
sion, where he and his companions received all the
attention that their pitiable state required. Capt.
Alexander ordered food to be given often, and in
small quantities. John St. Croix was stripped,
rubbed with hot flannels, and laid in blankets
before the fire ; he remained all night quite in-
sensible ; on Sunday morning !►e began to recover
his recollection ; he still remains very weak, but
hopes are entertained that he is out of danger ;
the two others are entirely recovered.

A Lady of fortune from Brighton had a narrow
escape from drowning, at Hove, on Saturday.--
Preferring the bathing there, she had been driven
thither in her carriage, and alighted on the cliff.
A machine was soon in order for her, and on her
taking possession it was moved to the water's edge,
when the attendant received an order to retire,
but to return at a given time. This order had
not been long obeyed, when the rope which
confined the wheels .of the machine gave
way, and the vehicle rolling down the decli-
vity, was soon immersed in the aea, with its fair
inhabitant. Her situation fur some time was ex-
tremely perilous ; she was at length rescued by a
poor man of the name of Harvey, and convey-
ed to her carriage, hers ervants till then being
unacquainted with what happened, and the time
not having elapsed for the bathing attendant to
return. It gives us pleasure to add, that the
Lady received no essential injury. The machine
was floated many yards to sea, HARVY was re-
warded with ten pounds.
