NAr AL INTELLIGENCE.

RAMSGATE, MARCH te.
The numerous vessels in our harbour which have
sustained damage by the late severe gales, are under-
going repair with all possible expedition ; many are
getting only a temporary outfit, so that they may
proceed to London to be put in order for sea, as it
would be a great sacrifice of time to wait for their
turn of admission into the Dry Dock, having but one
here, and no skip whatever where vessels could be
hauled up and repaired. The Majestic steam pac-
ket has arrivedhere from the River, to assist some.of
the larger ships up which are in a crippled state.—
Upwards of 100 strange ship-weights have come into
the town since the gales, and find ready employment
at advanced wages. Ramsgate, so far as relates to
the shipping part of it, never exhibited so much bus-
tle as at present. The quantity cf anchors and cables
which have been supplied, are without precedent.
The Deal boatmen have, with their usual promptness
and intrepidity, rendered most important services to
vessels in distress during the late dreadful gales,
Winging them into this harbour in a most masterly
style, and averting much mischief which must other-
wise have taken place. They are undoubtedly a
most useful body of men, and are entitled to every
consideration from the Shipping Interest for their late
'extraordinary exertions to save life and property.—
The Zealand, MAssEN, from Middleburgh, bound to
'Cadiz, has fallen over in the Basin and damaged part
of her cargo ; it is now discharging.—Wind W.N.Wi

and reports that the ship settles very fast down an
the sand. They had got about 40 bales of cotton on

into the lugger, as it came on to blow very hard

the ship.

staves, black sides, with two white mouldings, and a

culars at present.
