MEVAGISSEY, CORNWALL.—The sloop Jessie, of and for Truro, from Plymouth, with a general cargo, showed signals of distress on the evening of the 10th October.

The Life-boat John Arthur put off to her assistance at 7.30 and found that she was near Porthmellyn Beach. She was driving and, as a strong gale was blowing and the sea rough, she was in a position of considerable danger, andbut for the timely help of the Life-boat men would, in all probability, have become a wreck. Assistance, however, was promptly rendered, and the sloop, with her crew of two men, was taken into the inner harbour at Mevagissey..
