MELANCHOLY OCCURRIINCE.-SUPPOSED LON
OF TWO LIVES OFF BRIGHTON.

(From the BrigAtou Guardian of this day.)
We have to-day to record the occurrence of t
catastrophe, the but too probable result of which is the lost
of the lime of two young gentlemen, visitors at Brighton.
The name of one is Edward Donaldson, aged 19, who has for
the past month been living with his rels4lons is lodginp
at 4, Cannon-plane. The other is named Jones, and wee
living also in lodgings, at 7, Bedford-square.
A short time ago, it appears that the two young gentle-
men made a joint purchase of a small bunt, and were in the
habit of going out sailing, sometimes alone, but more fre-
quently accompanied by some of their acquaintances or
}mods. It was remarked, however, by the watermen, that
the quantity of rigging they carried was too heavy for a
boat of such scanty bean, it Wing only about 14ft. long; and
more than one ancient mariner might have been seen to shake
his bead and moves fears for the fate el a craft so oppressed
with canvas, and in the control of such comparatively inex-
perienced hinds.
About three o'clock on Monday afternoon, the two
youths started for • sail from opposite the boTtotil
Trenton-street, taking with them only . a small quantity of
biscuits and cheese and • bottle of wine, their intention
being to remain eat only • few hours, as Donaldson had
made annogements to take his sisters out for a drive shoot
saves o clock, Seven o'clock came ; but Edward did not
make his appearance. Half-peat seven—eight o'clock—
arrived and he did not come. Ilia sisters, however,
thought the missing ones bad pat in at Shoreham sad
