BRIGHTON, NOVEMBER

The weather here has been excedively boifierous
and damp for many days and nights pall. On Thurf.
day evening a tremendous gale from the South weft
came on, which continued to rage with unabated
fury until Friday night. Several houfes were un-
roofed, and many (core panes of glafs in the houfes
in Stjames's.ilreet, as well as other parts t f the town,
were demolifhed. The molt ferious injury, however,
fuftained on '1 hut fday evening, was by a boat belong.
ing to a perfon of the name of Short, and which had
returned from Hallings, loaded with he, rings, having
on board four tails (40,00 o). The b•,at palled this
1 town about nine o'clock, P. M. and in endeavouring
to get into the harbour of Shoreham, upfet, by which
accident S'aort, and a filherman, an inhabitant of
Worthing, who had accompanied him to Hallings,
were both drowned. The body of the latter was
wafhed on (bore here, near to the Royal Crefcent,
yeaerday, from whence it was taken and carried to
the workhoufe. The body of poor Short has not yet
been found. Upwards of to,ooo of the herrings
which the boat contained were, by the flrengrh of
the current, carried as far as Rottin•a?dean, a &fiance
of at leaf, eight miles from the place where the fatal
cataftrophe occurred, and where they were yellerday
picked up by the inhabitants of the place.
Yefterday, though tur buient, was comparatively a
fine day to thole of the two preceding ; but the night
turned nut as unpleafant as can well be conceived.
It at this time blows a complete hurricane from the
South, and :he rain for many hoots has been excel-
five and incelfant. Happily, not a fail of any de.
fcription is at this time viable in this part of the
Channel. Great apprehentions are expreffed for the
fate of the Cliffs to the call of the town,itnentury
thofe who have property there may well feel them.
(elves alarmed. Perhaps this place had never a more
defolate appearance than at ptefknt, for though we
have yet much fafhionable company in the town,
fcarcely •a fafhionable individual is to be Peen. The
Northumberland Militia, on Friday evening and yef.
rerday, marched into this place ; the falling torrents
from the cloodF, and the confevent dirtincfs of the
roads, had occafinned them a very unpleafant march;
covered with mud, and wet through to the (kin, it is
really ditireffing to behold them. They do not,
however, appear to have received any injury by their
journey.
