SOUTHEND (ESSEX).—A telegram having been received from Lloyd's Station at the pierhead stating that a schooner was ashore on the Nore Sand with signals of distress flying, while a strong gale was blowing from N.N.E., accompanied by a very rough sea and snow, on the 21th March, theLife-boat Theodore and Herbert was launched at 5 P.M., and found the stranded vessel was the Hugh Miller of Inverness, laden with salt, from Middlesborough for London. She had driven over the Nore Sand on to the Grain Spit, and had lost her rudder. The Life-boat remained by her until the following morning at the master's request, but as there was no prospect of getting her off, the crew of six men got into the Life-boat, which then made for Sheerness, arriving there at 11 A.M. At 12 o'clock the schooner rolled over on her beam ends and became a total wreck. In consequence of the severity of the gale, the Life-boat had to remain at Sheerness until 6 o'clock on the following morning, when she was able to leave, arriving at Southend pier-head at 9 o'clock..
