NEW BRIGHTON.—The chief officer of coastguard at Blundell Sands reported by telegraph that a steam flat was stranded on Seaforth Beach, on the 5th August.

The vessel was also observed from New Brighton. The steam Life-boat Queen left her moorings at 12.7 p.m., and proceeded to the assistance of the vessel, over which heavy seas were breaking, but her crew refused to leave her, and were anxious that the Life-boat should remain by them until they were out of danger.The Life-boat remained near until the men were able to walk ashore and then returned to her moorings; the vessel, which was the Bessie, of and from Liverpool for Buncorn, in ballast, being left on the beach full of water..
