Encroachments of the Sea on the East Anglian Coast.-The Rev. Joseph Gunn, of Irstead, communicates to the Athenæum some notes and observations of encroachments of the sea on the coasts of Norfolk. Within the past thirty-five years, four coal-yards successively, a small farm-house with a barn, outhouses and garden, measuring at least 90 yards to the present cliff, have been washed away, and vessels can now sail at high water where the land was once cultivated. Beyond Cromer, several chalk pinnacles, enveloped in the glacial beds figured by Sir C. Lyell in his Elements of Geology, are either entirely removed, or so reduced as to be scarcely recognizable. At Cromer, the old lighthouse, bearing the Ordnance Bench mark, and noted in the survey as the highest spot in Norfolk, 248 feet 10 inches, was, last December, precipitated to the beach, and has since been entirely washed away. At Eccles, the tower of the old church, till lately enveloped in the Marram Hills, now stands upon the beach, occasionally surrounded by waves. These are a few instances noted by Mr. Gunn. The explanation is, that high seas, aided by landsprings, wash away the loose sandy or chalky foundations of the cliffs, and thus undermine them.
