LYTHAM.—About 11 A.M. on the 11th April, the schooner Wyre, of Pleetwood, having had all her sails blown away, was forced ashore, by the violence of a N.W. gale, on the Horse Bank, at the entrance to the River Ribble. Heavy snow-squalls accompanied the gale.

The Life-boat Wakefield was launched directly the wreck was observed, and being taken in tow by a steamer, was placed sufficiently far to windward to fetch across the shoal water by 1 o'clock.

She at that time, therefore, cast off from the steamer, and making her way through a heavy cross sea to the wreck, the hull of which was now under water, succeeded in taking the surviving 2 men from the rigging, a third having perished some time previously..
