SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF LIFE. Further Particulars. BALBRIGGAN, Nov. 15. - About six o'clock last night signals, as if from a vessel at sea in distress, were heard. Mr. BARRET, R.N., the coast guard officer at this station, sent one of his men to look out and on learning that there was a large vessel near the harbour in distress, he and his men immediately proceeded along the coast, lighted a fire, and at intervals, for several hours, set up rockets. The vessel proved to be the barque Young England, belonging to Mr. Wright of Kinderkaine, bound from Singapore to Liverpool with a cargo of rice, sago, Gambia blocks of gutta percha, &c. From five to one o'clock in the morning no boat would venture out to her relief, from the heavy sea breaking along the coast. At that hour the Rev. A. SYNGE, rector of Arran, Mr. Barret, R. N., his son, Mr. W. Barrett, and some of the coat guard, put off for the wreck in Mr. H. A. HAMILTON's boat. They succeeded in reaching it and bringing of the captain and 8 of the crew. A second attempt to reach the wreck failed. There were seven men in the rigging. At about six o'clock in the morning, Mr. Barret, his son, and four of the coast guard put off in the boat belonging to the service, and after about two hours succeeded in reaching the vessel and taking off the seven who remained. Thus making sixteen persons rescued from a watery grave. Wm. SUDBURY, royal marines, of H. M. steamer Armese, was a passenger, and died on deck in the evening from fatigue. Edward JACKSON of Catham, foolishly persisted in leaving the wreck in one of her boats, and very soon went down. His body was found and awaits the coroner's inquest. The captain, W. ROBERTSON, states that they were knocking about the channel for the last week, and that being short of provisions he endeavoured to reach Dublin, but was unable to do so from the violent state of the weather and the heavy sea which was running. Mistaking this place for Howth he endeavoured to reach it, but the heavy sea along the coast soon drove them aground. Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. Barret and those who accompanied him, for their courage in venturing out in such a heavy surf, and for the successful way in which they rescued the men from their perilous position.
