On the 10th March, the schooner Scotia, of Carnarvon, anchored in a heavy S.W. gale off Trefadoc, near Holy- head : she soon commenced to drag her anchors, and was observed to be driving fast towards the Clipera Rocks. The Holy- head life-boat, belonging to the Life-Boat INSTITUTION, was very quickly launched, and on reaching her with considerable diffi- culty, placed three hands on board her, by whose aid the cables were slipped, and the vessel was run ashore in a safe position.

The life-boat immediately after proceeded to the assistance of another schooner, also dangerously situated, and aided in conduct- ing her also into a safe position. Had these vessels driven on the rocks, the consequences would probably have been fatal to their crews. The life-boat, which is on Mr. PEAKE'S plan, was reported to have be- haved admirably on the occasion.
