WATCHET, SOMERSE TSHIRE.—Lights were observed to the northward of the harbour, during a strong wind and a heavy sea, early on the morning of the 24th January.

The W. It. G. Kingston Life-boat was launched at 7.30, proceeded under sail to the ship Allegiance, coal-laden from Cardiff, and found that she required tugs, as she had lost her sails, and was rolling heavily. The master of the vessel sent a message ashore by the Life-boat, and, the gale having moderated, the ship rode in safety until the arrival of a tug from Cardiff, which took her away during the following night..
