£ HOLYHEAD.—About 7.45 on the evening of Sunday, the 27th January, while a whole gale was blowing from N.W., accompanied by a very heavy sea and thick weather, a vessel was seen in the outer roads burning signals of distress. The steam Life-boat Duke of Northumberland proceeded to her assist- ance and found she was the barque Royal, of Arendal, bound from Savanna for Liverpool, with turpentine and resin.

She had dragged her anchor, and had fouled a steamer lying at anchor. Six of her crew boarded the Life-boat, but a steanvtug. arriving to assist the barque, the other members of the crew remained on board their vessel..
