Extra& of a Letter from CaernarVOn, Dee.
.Yesterday morning the Couway Ferry Boat,,toge-
thcr with fifteen Passengers; were lost; twO•only
&tit -of seventeen-were ,SaVd, a servant and tine: of
the rowers. I understand the regular rowers
were not on , hoard, -some were colleding their
Christmas , boxes, which probably caused the acci-
dent, as the ,morning, though tempestuous. and
rainy (as indeed act)/ day has been for these sixty
days), was not very retharkal4 io. A.Foreign Gen-
tleman's body' has :been driven on shore; it.is said
he had 'one thousand guineas in Bank Notes in his
pockets. Young Rous, of. the Harp Inn, at Con-
way, is among the drowned. It is strange Govern-
ment would not -send the Mail by the Capelcarrig
road, which.would, save the Ferry, and- is twenty-
two miles shorter.", . . , . .

upon several butchers and bakers at.:120-.-er (five or
six), giving orders for meat and bread. Being, as
he observed, too late to get any business'done at the
bank, he requested they would let him have. a little
cash, as the crew being in Roadstead, were very
pressing. He gave them drafts upon London at 30
daps for more than the amount of their bills, and
received from them the balance, by which means
he procured arnongst them ,to ;the amount of up-
wards of 401. with whiclfhe 'decamped. Upon in-
quiry the fraud was soon discovered. In his hurry
