SHIPWRECK.—We have the painful task to re-
cord the wreck of another vessel on the Glamorgru-
shire coast. Oir Sunday we'imight, a brig was seen
approaching that dangerous spot the Slierweathers.
on which she afterwards struck, sad soon went to
pieces. The unfortunate crew, comisting of seven
melt and a female, supposed to be the Captain's
wife, were observed clinging to the rigging, and
scarcely a doubt exists of all having perished. as 110
boats near the fetal place could contend with the
high surf. The brig's tan boats were washed ow
shore mi Moriday, on which were painted "George.
of Ulveratone, Edward Whittle." She is supposed
to have been laden with iron ore from Lancashire ;
mid, from her movetneisty a stranger to the coast.
