LIZARD.—The Life-boat Edmund and Fanny, stationed at Folpear, was launched at midnight on the 10th of March, during a moderate gale from the S.S.E. and a heavy ground swell, and rescued the crewof seventeen men from the barque Lady Dufferin, of Plymouth, bound from Newport for Monte Video with railway iron, which stranded on the Beach Head, near Polpear, and became a total wreck.

Several of the shipwrecked men had been injured by being thrown down by the heavy seas which constantly broke over the vessel, and the men were up to their knees in water on the main deck at the time they were taken into the Life-boat, the ship having apparently broken its back. The Life-boat received some damage by being dashed against the wreck..
