DROGHEDA.—Shortly after midnight of the 25th September, the brigantine Maxim of St. John's, N.B., bound from Liverpool to St. John's, went ashore two miles north of Drogheda Bar. It was blowing hard at the time from E.S.E., with a considerable sea on the bar. The No. 1 Life-boat, the Old George Irlam of Liverpool, was launched, and proceeding out of the river succeeded in rescuing the crew, 8 in number, from the stranded vessel. The Life-boat regained her station about 2- 30 A.M..
