BRANCASTER, NORFOLK.—On the 23rd October, at about 9 A.M., the barque Lydia, of Grrimstad, bound from Arendal to Cardiff with pit props, stranded on Burnham Plats. The Lily Bird Life-boat proceeded to her, and found that she had 8 feet of water in her hold, had lost her main topmast, and was in a very dangerous position, her rudder also had been much damaged. The Life-boat remained by her some time, and ultimately, as the water was increasing, took off the crew of fourteen men..
