CLOVELLY.—During a strong gale from "W.N.W. and a heavy sea, on the 9th February, the ketch Louisa, of Bideford, bound to that port from Newport, with coal, was at anchor off Clovelly, when she showed a signal of distress. The Life-boat Alexander and Matilda Boetefeur immediately proceeded to her, and on arriving alongside found that she was riding heavily at her anchors. The crew of 3 men and a female passenger were anxious to be taken ashore, and they were therefore taken into the Life-boat and safely landed. A few hours afterwards the weather moderated, and the men went on board their vessel again, got her under weigh, and proceeded on their voyage..
