WEXFORD.—On the 12th February, at about 5.30 P.M., the fishing schooner Kate, of Wexford, was seen to be running for the harbour. The wind was blowing moderately from the S.W., but the sea was rolling furiously in consequence of a strong gale on the previous night. Immediately on entering the bar she was struck by a heavy breaking sea, which completely capsized her. Her crew, consisting of four men, succeeded in getting upon the bottom of the boat,but were instantly swept off by the sea. By this time the Lifeboat Civil Service had put off to render assistance; but unfortunately nothing could be seen except some small portions of wreckage. After cruising about for a short time, the Life-boat picked up 1 man who had drifted in, clinging to a small piece of board. The poor fellow wasin a most exhausted state ; he was at once landed at Eosslare, and every effort was made to restore animation, but unfortunately without success, and he expired about an hour after being landed.

The Life-boat again went out, but was unable to find any trace of the rest of the crew..
