have suffered damages in nets. tine boat lost fifty, sail
to be worth 401.—others four or fire. An elderly hshe•-
man who had been to sea for many years, never recollects
ed to have seen the waves so much agitated. Jacob-Car-
den.' Boat was observed, after the melancholy catastrc-
mentioned in oar last, floating on the water on betr
side, with her sails up, surrounded with nets, oliFairligist
by some of the fishermen of Hastings, who were unable
to tow her on shore, nut having an opportunity of getting
sufficiently near to attach a rope, owing to the rougbncit
of the waves and the boisterous sate of the weather.—

BaieaToN, May 17.—The number of couples asked at
our parish church, has, of late, been unusually great.
On one occasion, we counted nearly forty. The increase
is, no doubt, to be attributed to the repeat of the late It.hr-
riage Act, together with an apprehension, probably, that
s -me future enactments may throw obstacles in the way
of a consummation so devoutly wished.
But for the disastrous gale of Thursday se'nnight,
which not only sank poor l'arden's host, hut carried
away some hundreds of net• belonging to the 11e. t. there
was a pleasing pro•p;et that our iniustrious and desert-
ing fishermen would have mule a happy arid a prosperous
voyage.—We wish them every seeress.
Our fishermen have brought a considerable glianti!y of
fi.h to shore daring the present week, in consequence of
which the price has been lowered. Mullets are mum
plentiful tbau usual they are sold at the same rate as
mackerel.
