HAYLE.—A severe gale visited Hayle from the N.N.W on Wednesday. About 8 a.m. the French schooner L'Amiable Julie, of Redon, from Bourneauf, with a cargo of beans for Gloucester, was driven ashore near Godrevy, and with the assistance of the coast-guard the mate and two youths were saved. While endeavouring to save the younger boy Mr. Davie, chief boatman o f the coast-guard, was washed from the rocks, and his life was placed in im-minent jeopardy. The mate reports that on Tuesday morning, about six o’clock, the master (M. Tremant) and two men were washed overboard. Owing to the loss of sails the schoonersubsequentlybecame unmanageable:ranherashorefor the purpose of saving lives of those who were then on board. About 70 quarters of beans have been discharged from the vessel, and all moveable articles removed to the shore. The survivors have been kindly treated by Mr. James,farmer, at Godrevy. .—The French schooner Clementine, Courent, master, with three hands, from Swansea, with coals, for Rochelle, ran ashore at one o’clock. on Thursday morning, on the Lelant Sands, about half a-mile west of Hayle Bar. The crew remained on board till low water, when they walked ashore over the sands, bringing their effects with them. Nothing was known of this disaster by the coast-guard or other authorities till about daylight. The crew were received into the Lelant ferry-house by Thomas Gall. Report says the vessel was so leaky the master ran her ashore for the safety of the crew. The St. Ives lifeboat had been alongside but finding no crew aboard and the cabin locked up, they came to Hayle for instructions. The Vice-Consul for France has since taken charge of the wreck on behalf of the master. She has been entirely dismantled, and the hull is nearly in pieces. The re-mainder of the cargo, after about 70 quarters had been removed, was washed out of her the next tide, and none of this could saved.
