BALLYWALTER, Co. DOWN. — A messenger having brought information at 1.30 P.M. on the 6th February that a vessel was ashore on the north end of the Long Kock, the crew of the Admiral HenryMeynell Life-boat at once assembled, and crowds of the villagers dragged the boat by road to the scene of the wreck, much difficulty being experienced in getting her to the shore, on account of there being two ditches on the way. The boat was at last launched, but notwithstanding the noble exertions of her crew to battle with the fierce gale blowing from the E.S.E., she was driven ashore with great violence, three of her oars being broken. Owing to the strength of the gale and the violence of the surf great difficulty was experienced in saving the boat. After renewed exertions, however, she was again launched at 3 A.M., and succeeded in rescuing the crew of the vessel, consisting of six men, who had been all night in the rigging.

The vessel was the brig Euphemia Fullerton, of Londonderry, bound to that port from Maryport with a cargo of coal.

She became a total wreck.

The Kev. J. O'KEILLT BLACKWOOD, the Honorary Secretary of the Ballywalter Branch of the Institution, went out as usual in the Life-boat, taking charge of her, and rendering valuable assistance.

Mr. GEOBGE PEIOE, chief officer of H.M.

Coastguard at Ballywalter, rendered noble service in wading into the surf and assisting to get the boat launched, and Mr. J.

B. GLOVEB also rendered valuable aid on the occasion.

The Second Service Clasp of the Institution was awarded to the Eev. J. O'E.

BLAOKWOOD. The Silver Medal to Mr.PRIOR, and the thanks of the Institution, inscribed on vellum to Mr. GLOVER, in acknowledgment of their co-operation.

Extra rewards were also granted to the crew and launchers of the Life-boat..
