SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

Downing-street, Jan. 21,1837.
Sir--.I am directed by Lord Glenelg to transmit to you, for
the information of the committee for managing the affairs at
Lloyd's, the accompanying copy of a despatch which has just
been received from the Governor of the Mauritius, reporting
the melancholy wreck on Cape Lagullas of the ship Don-
caster, bound from that colony-to England, and enclnbing no-
minal returns of the crew and passengms aho left the Mauri.
tius in that vessel on the 13th of June last.
I have the holour to be, Sir., your most humhle'servant,
To W. Dobson, Bsq., GEO. GREY.
" Mauritius, Sept. 22, 1836.
•
" My Lord—Long before this despatch can reach England
your. Lordship will have learnt, through the medium of the
Cape papers, of the melancholy wreck of the ship Doncaster,
on Cape Lagullas, bound from this island to London, and hav-
ing on board the invalids from the several regiments stationed
in this command, as well as private passengers, every soul of
whom, it is feared, have perished.
" I am not informed of any ether particulars than those con.
tamed in the Cape papers. My object at present is to put
your Lordship in possession of authentic lists of the sufferers,
for the information of any of their relatives who may seek such
intelligence at the Colonial-office.

" Inclosed No. 1 is a nominal list of the crew and passen-
gers, exclusive of the non. commissioned officers, soldiers, and
their families ; and No. 2, is a similar retur❑ of the invalids,
women, and children of the military, making togecher 64 indi-
viduals.

" The unfortunate ladies who have perished ranked amongst
the most respectable families of this colony, and this disaster
has consequently cast a gloom over an extensive circle of their
relatives and friends.

" I understand that nautical men attribute the loss to an
error in the allowance made for currents, and not to any un.
usual] stress of weather, although great severity of weather is
usually experienced in rounding the Cape in the months of
July and August.--I haves &c.,
