On the 13th of March last, the brig Henry, of Montrose, in Low- estoft Roads, parted her cables in a strong E.S.E. gale, and was driven on shore under Pakefield lighthouse. The Pakefield life- boat was speedily launched, and succeeded in saving her crew of 11 hands in the midst of a heavy sea, and in conveying them safely on shore.

Portmadoc, N". Wales.—On the morning of the 24th December, the brig Charlotte, of Havre, parted her cables, and was driven on shore on Harlech beach, two miles south of Portmadoc. She had been sometime previously perceived to be in danger from the life-boat station, and the life-boat was launched in readiness to give her assistance, although no signal of distress had been shown. Immediately on the vessel striking, her crew, with the exception of the master, had taken to their long-boat, which was upset in the breakers, when four only of them were saved by the aid of persons from the shore. The life-boat took the master from his vessel and landed him safely at Harlech.
