BALLYWALTER, Co. DOWN.—On the night of the 15th December the brigantine Jennie Lind, of Whitehaven, coal laden, was driven on the Pladdie Rocks off Ballywalter.

A strong S.E. gale was blowing, with a very heavy sea, and the night very dark. It was therefore felt to be a very dangerous service, and for some time a sufficient number of volunteers could not be obtained to man the Life-boat Admiral Henry Meynell. After a while, however, encouraged by the Rev. HENRY WILSON, son of the Rector of Ballywalter, who accompanied them as one of the crew of the boat, she proceeded on her dangerous mission, and in a little more than an hour reached the stranded vessel, taking her crew of 5 men on board, and afterwards landed them safely at Ballywalter. This was altogether a very gallant and praiseworthy service.
