TRAMORE, COUNTY WATERFORD.—The brigantine Albert, of Cork, bound from Newport for Youghal with a cargo of coal, stranded at Tramore in a strong S.W.

breeze, thick weather and rough sea, on the morning of the 25th August. The signal mortar was fired to summon the crew and launchers for the Life-boat, and, under very difficult circumstances, the Alfred Trower was launched, and succeeded in rescuing the vessel's crew, consisting of seven men. Some of the crew and helpers did not hear the signal, and consequently were not present when their services were required. Volunteers, however, rendered willing help, Capt. J. E. PIM, Messrs. JAMES McCoy and JAMES POWEK gallantly taking the places of three of the crew; and assistance in effecting the launch being readily rendered by members of the Royal Irish Constabulary, prominent amongst whom was Constable SHABBY, who, in addition to assisting to launch the boat, volunteered to go out in her, and acted as bowman.

Mr. EDWARD JACOB, the Honorary Secretary of the Branch, rendered invaluable aid on the occasion, and very kind service was also performed by two ladies, who, on hearing the alarm, hurried to the sands, one of them carrying a lantern to give light to those who were dragging the boat.
