GORLESTON, SUFFOLK.—The brig European, of and from Sunderland for Corsica, with coal, glass, and machinery, was seen to ground on the Middle Cross Sand, during a strong N.N.E. wind, hazy weather, and a strong sea, on the 18th November. The Mark Lane Life-boat went off at about 1.20 P.M., in tow of the steam-tug Yare, but the brig went to pieces before the boat could reach her.

Arriving about four miles E. of the Cross Sand, a boat, which proved to belong to the brig, was observed to go alongside the smack Cleopatra, of Lowescroft, and the Life-boat then made for that vessel in reply to her signals, and found that four survivors of the crew had taken refuge on board her. The men were got safely into the Life-boat and safely landed at Gorleston at about 4 o'clock.
