A destructive fire broke out on the night of 
Monday, June 12, at Laycock Farm, in this 
county, on the manor of Mr. Terrace, which 
destroyed a beautiful house and an extensive 
farm-yard. Such was the rapid progress of 
the flames, that two men anda boy fell mar- 
tyrsto the devouring ciement in their beds,’ 
and the logs is estimated at 10,0001. It was 
occasioned by a drunken waggoner Setting fire 
to a corn-loft.

The‘inhabitants of 8righton, and the pub- 
lic at large. whose feeling hearts can sympa- 
thize for others woes, are now called upon 
to exercise their benevolence towaids the sur- 
Vivers, and afflicted families of the dre;d ‘ul 
casualties of . Friday, June 2, 1809, which 
took place, in the sight of some hundreds of 
spectators, when several honest and industrious 
Scamen met with watery graves! Thecasu- 
alties above alluded to, were occasioned by a 
sudden and tremendous gale of wind, which 
came on in the night of Thursday, when, of 
the tweaty-two mackerel boats belonging to 
this place, twenty were unfortunately ex-. 
posed to all the horrors of the storm. The 
freater part of them, however, after much 
labour, well-directed perseverance and diffi. 
culty, succeeded (though not without incur- 
ring heavy damages, and serious losses in 
nets, &c.) in gaining the land; but were; 
anhappily, overwhelmed ahd Jost. ‘Phe 
Good intent, John Priest, owner, in which 
boat were William Priest and sis son (the 
Son and grandson of the said John Priest) Wil- 
liam Leach, and Jonn Sargent, was sunk 
Within half a mile of the shore, when allona 
beard perished: The lad, supported in the 
arms of’ his father, was seen for a few mo 
' Ments, until both being: exhausted they sunk 
tegether. Four widows and fourteen chil- 
dren are left almost friendless, and without 
the means of support, by this distressing cae 
tastrophe.-——The case of poor Sargent was 
lamentably severe; buffeting the waves, he 
had nearly reached the land, where number~ 
less individuals had collected in the nope of 
affording him assistance, who, within bis 
hearing, called out to him, to keep up his 
Spirits, as his preservation appeared even more 
than probable. The ‘rowning man, in the 
@gonies of death, had just strength let feebly 
to ejaculate, “* My heart is: gone!” taen 
clasping his hands, anc ratsing his eyes to- 
Wards heaven, he sunk—to rise no more. 
Another boat, the Mayflower, J. and R. 
Spicer, joint owners, upset, in attempting to 
Sct iuto Shoreham harbour, when Jona Spi- 
“Ser unnappily perished. A subscription has
