NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

rimaronalt, MAacn ft,--Arrived the Pusey Hall, Kw +, frxvf
London for Barltadoes ; and William and Thomas, lliawurt,

from St. Miclasers.—Wind N. W.
POILTIMOUTIO, MARCIE' S.— Ar rive d the Pembroke, 11AaLow,
from Dublin.—Wisl N.
BaaustAars, Moats O.—Arrived the schooners Delight and
Lively, from Newry, with loss of boon's.; Tao packets, from
Ireland, have put in here—ooe with loss'of mainsail. A boat,

with the name " Ceres, of Whitehaven," and a number of dyad
pigs, have been washed ashore in Ited Wharf Bay.

SHEF.RNESSf Maims' 2.—A most violent gale arose this morn-
ing from tire IC,W. which quickly increased into a storm. The
vessels in the harbour and at the,Nore, rode in the rar• clan/—
serous manner. We regret to add, that two lighters fiefongiiii
to the dock-yard, sunk at their anchors; a than, woman, ;A
two children, perished with them.—A brig also sttnit at thi
Nore, two of the crew saved.—At four P. u. a Humber keel; •
laden with corn, was drilien on shore near:M.lton, but the
crew and cargo are safe.

;Usages( 3.—The gale still continues violent, and the eto3st it
strewtd with the vestiges of wrecks. The 13elivrophon hulk
has broke her moorings, but without any other iujury.— The

Convict hospital-ship, and the Retribution, havf also sustairreti -
damage.—During the night, one of the coffer-darns, in the new
works, give way, enabling the tide to find a passage under the
great wall. The docks, the great basin, the temporary walls,
and all the various works, are new under water. The whole
of this stupendous national undertaking presents a scene of
desolation and destruction 'beyond the power of lang-apge to

describe. The valuable cassoon, built as a gate to the great

basin, has been cut through, to permit the egress and ingress

of the tide.

ANOTMES Lrrrn, same DATE.—A great deal of damage Ins
been done to the shipping near this place, some having been
lost, others lost their anchors and cables, &c. Among them are
the following : the Janes, of Woodbridge, was driven on shore,
bottom upwards—crew supposed to have perished : Julia,
Rico, of Aberdeen; Lark, Wsza.s, of Peterhead; and Tao-
machus,'Pasrr, for London, have lost anchors and cables.—
Three vessels are lost, and it is feared the crews have perished.

!llamaAre, MAscu s.—The tremendous gaff of yestertLy
and last night has caused much damage to the shipping on this
Coast—a great deal more, it is feared, than is known to the

writer of this article. The wind got up most violently about
five o'clock in the morning from the N. W. and speedily in-
creased to a complete hurricane, which lasted, at intervals, the
day throughout and a great part of last night. Several vessels
were observed yesterday morning to be upon the Goodwin Sand,
where, in the course of the day, they went to-pieces, and totally
disappeared, with their ill-fated crews, to whom it was impos-
sible to :Nord the least succour, though several large laoats from
this place, well manned, went off, at the imminent risk of their
1 lives, to preserve them, but Ott ing to the wonderful sea which
broke upon the Sand, there was no getting near the vessels. Taw
greatest praise is due to the Ramsgate boatmen fur their extra-
ordinary exertions on this occasion, as no set of men could do
inure than they did, vlthough unsuccessful in their endeavours)
to rescue from a watery grave so many of their follow-creatures.
It is feared the shipping in the Downs have likewise suffered con-
siderably. A large ship, said to be a Dutch East Indianian, is
_ _

observed to be at anchor there, with her mainmast gone.—This
morning, about nine o'clock, a long-boat was towed into oLr
harbour belonging to the snow Flora, of North Shields, which
vessel unfortunately got upon the sunk sand of the Goodwin,
yesterday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, where she
was soon swallowed up. Captain ROBERT STOREY and his crew,
consisting of ten men, were in the boat, which was kept allou
by constant baling the whole night : four of the crew were found
dead from such inclement exposure at sea throughota the night;
the rest, with the exception of the Captain (who has weathered
the disaster wonderfully well) were nearly exhausted. We feel
it due to Mr. SHARP Ilirratutsox and his Son, ship-owners here,
to speak in the highest terms of the humanity displayed by them
towards these unfortunate men, having provided them with
good quarters and every comfort and relief their situation re-
quires. Captain STOREY has been received into Mr. litiscuiN-
sines house, where there can be no doubt, from the known feel-
ing of this worthy man on such occasions, but he will elperience
the most humane attention. Two Gentlemen from Mr. Ant-
TIN'S Agency Office, likewise attended to offer assistance en the
boat's coming in, but we did not observe any of these attentions
from Lloyd's Agents at this port.

ANOTHER Lmen; SAME neas.—The vessel mentioned yester-
day as being on the Goodwin Sand, has totally disappeared, and
nothing has been heard of the crew. The Flora, Syeaxr, front
Shields for London, was lost yesterday on the Sunk Sand : the
crew have arrived here, except the Mate and three men, who
perished during the night from the severity of the weather.—
Captain Slower reports, that nearly twenty vessels were lost at
the same time, on the Sunk Sand.

MARO•TI, Maim 2.—This morning was ushered in with a
most tremendous storm ; the wind at the first of the morning
was at East, and about a quarter past six o'clock it suddenly
veered round to North-west, with a violent storm of hail, which
has continued, without intermission, till the present time: the
houses on the Parade are, generally, more or less unroofed, and
such is the violence of the gale, that even large coping stones
have been displaced, and carried to some distance. The Vigi-
lant sloop, of London, broke from her moorings, in the Pier,
and drove athwart the Parade-well, to which she did consider-
able damage ; the old packets, about high water, broke from
their moorings, and for some time the Harbour was in the ut-
most scene of confusion. We know of little injury done to the

shipping ; but we have terrible reports. from?loft, froMWhit-
stble, and the parts adjoining. Theri are three brigi making
ter the Tier „while lam writing, and a Government cutter has
just passed. One of the brigs has just reached the )labour in
safety. Theasecond brig has not been so fortunate as the ter-
mer, having struck just by the Harbour ; should the wind not
abate, it is probable she will go to pieces next tide.—A cottage
Is blown down at Garlinget and part of the barn at Hartadown.
. Dear, Manes s.—Wind N.N. W.—The brig mentioned yes-
terday to be on the Goodwin Sand, still remains with her sails
flying about, and nearly half her masts out of the water. The
Friendship, WRIT', from Sunderland for Hastings, and Eco-
nomy, STONEY, from Newcastle for London, were totally lost
this meriting, on the Goodwin Sand—crews saved. Captain
WHITE reports he saw two or three other vessels on the Good-
win Sand, and it is feared their crews have perished. The Phoe-
nix, limewarr, for the South Seas, and the Norfolk, from the
South Seas, have lost anchors and cables, and have been supplied
with others. Several vessels have lost their anchors, and pro.
ceeded down Channel, some without an anchor to their bows.—
One of the vessels, in stays is a plain- ship, without a head, and
yellow sides. The Dunira East Indiaman has lost an anchor.—
The rest of the outward-bound remain all well.
Lzvearom., Maim! 2.—Arrived the Theodosia, Niamey,
from Calcutta and Gibraltar. The Diadem, liaamsow, from
Virginia, is .on shore in Bootle bay. A heavy gale spfungiip
from the N. N.F.. this morning, at two o'clock, and it is feared
much damage is•doae on the 'Welch Coast.
