ploying about 120 boats, and nearly 500 individuals in its different branches, but if we include their wives and families they will number 4000. The large boats when fitted out complete cost £850, carrying nets of three and a half miles in length.

ST. CLEMENT'S CAVES,
under the West-hill, at the back of Gloucester-place, are well worthy the attention of the curious, and are considered one of the greatest lions of Hastings. They are of great extent, and perfectly dry, being composed of sand rock. The saloon is quite modern, supported by two rows of plain columns. The caves are opened once a fortnight in summer, and once a month during the winter season, and are then illuminated by about 200 lights. The charge for admittance is trifling.
The caves in the eastern cliff are also well worth the visit of the curious : particularly one that is inhabited by a family Robinson Crusoe, for as such we may fairly designate them, and fear not that all who visit them will be gratified, and, seeing their mode of life, and the penchant they have for animals, will agree that they are rightly named .
PELHAM ARCADE
contains about twenty shops . The carriage road to Pelham-crescent goes over the top of this building.
