WEXFORD, IRELAND.—At midnight on the 4th January, during a very strong gale from S. by E., a light was observed from a vessel which was apparently ashore in South Bay. The crew of the No. 1 Life-boat Ethel Eveleen were at once summoned, and the boat was launched, and proceeded over the bar. By this time the light had disappeared, but the Lifeboat continued cruising about until daybreak, when the crew observed the, schooner Jenny Lind, of and for Wexford, from Newport, stranded on the south end of the Dogger Bank.
