FISHGUARD, SOUTH WALES.—On the 20th December, during a whole gale of wind from the N. and a heavy sea, the No. 2 Life-boat Helen of Foxley put off at 6 A.M. in reply to signals of distress shown by two vessels at anchor in the roadstead.

The boat proceeded first to the smack Vixen, of Dublin, bound from Portree for Cardigan with a cargo of herrings. She was riding very heavily with both anchors down, and the master and crew of 3 men were anxious to leave her, as they fully expected that she would founder. They were therefore taken into the Life-boat, which then went to the schooner John and Ann, of Aberystwyth, bound from Gloucester for Cardigan with salt, and took off her crew consisting of 3 men. Both crews were safely landed at Goodwick Quay at about 8 o'clock..
