WINCHELSEA.—On the 21st January, at 2.30 A.M. the Life-boat Storm Sprite was launched, in consequence of signals of distress being observed from the brig Fred Thomson, of Dundee, which vessel, while on a voyage from Boston to London, had got ashore off Tower No. 32 whilst it was blowing hard at S.W. As there seemed a chance of saving the vessel, the coxswain was asked by the master to remain by him, and accordingly the Life-boat stayed alongside till day broke, when the weather moderated, and eventually the vessel was got off..
