BRIGHT° N, JUNE 2.—This has been one of the most terepes tuous days ever remembered kere. The number of macka rel boats belonging to this place are twenty -two, twenty of which unfortunately were at sea. In the course of the morning four of them, at great hazard and difficulty, ran on shore, and were preserved. An equal number we have since heard were similarly successful at Lancing. Ju N e 3.—Happily the remainder of the fishing boats absent at the date of my last letter, though con';iderable snticrers in nets, &c. all survived the tremendous storm of Thursday night last, and have since reached this place in safety. In my letter of Friday, I mentioned that It. S picer, after being rescued from the water at the trabour's entrance of Shoreham, had expired. At that time it was so understood ; but 1 have the lisfeasure of adding, that he is still living, and that no fears are now entertain ed fur his life.
