NIELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK;

FVUTLIELI PARTICULARS.

[Prom the Bristrii Mirror of. Satutday.3 '
It is our painful duty to state, that intelligenie'
reached this city last evening, of the loss of t 1,4
sloop William and Mary (a regular packet bet wee'
this port and Waterford) ; and that out of near!'
60 souls on board only 9 were saved.
The particulars, as tar as we have been able
learn, are, that the William and Mary, Mattes~'?
Master, sailed from Pill at 9 o'clock on Thur.4dif
evening last. The night was fine and the wistt
fair : about I I o'clock, not F,lr from the 11„1,2,,ct.
whilst the Mate was at the helm, and the Master
standing near him on the deck, the vessel stroA.
on a rock, which our info' mint calls the %V.lleys,
The passengers, who had ritired to rest, were
quickly alarmed, and many of them proceeded do
deck, as yet unacquaimed with the real .ex:etit
their dariger. This irate of suspense, however,
did not last long ; for in f 5 in;nutes afterwards, it
was found that the vessel was in a sinking state.
The scene that immediately followed was &call--
ful in the extreme. The boat (a very small one)
was soon filled, chiefly by the crew,- and put off
to the Welsh shore, and in a few minutes after-
wards the vessel sank.
Her top-mast remained some feet above the
water, to which tire crew adhere-I until the boas
returned. Our informant saved himself by swigs-
using, and was actually two hours anti a half its
the water, when he was +aken into the boat. lie
witnessed the heart-rending scene which took
place on the sinking of the vessel, A Mr. Barron,.
his mother, and four sisters, elegant and accom-
plished WORICtI, who had their malt-servant and a
carriage on hoard, were 'among the pass, ngers ;
the cries of the young ladies were most distressing.
They all perished r--they sunk, entwined in each
others' arms I

Au officer of the --- regiment Was saveif,
but his lady perished. All the tens !es on board,
2 in ninnher, and two children, met a ‘vnierY
grave. Eight of the ladies were cabin-passengers.
The master, Mr. Morley, was drowned ; has
felt a wife (now pregnant) and thtee children.
The rest of the crew were saved.
The Gentleman from whom we have procured
these hasty particulars states, that before he was
taken tilt by the boat, lie saw one unfortunate in—
dividual (whon.i he supposes to have been Mr-
Barron, mentioned above) near him in the water.
He endeavoured to cheer him T he, however, bad
only strength left to answer in a faint voice,
can go no farther arid sunk, to rise no more.
Our intornumt thinks there.were about 15 cabin
passengers, and about 40 iu "the steerage. In Cie
number (nine) known to he saved, the crew are
included.
Since writing the above we have learnt, that
the name of the ()nicer saved (anti whose lady
is
among the sufferers) is Lieut. Theballier, of tke
35tb. Among those who imnisiied we have heard
the names of Messrs. Gill, Chit, and Snow. A
Colonel, whose regiment is now in the East In—
dies, was also drowned. Mr, H. Shorter, of this
city, and Lieut. Theballier, arc the only passen.—
gels saved.

The few who escaped landed about eight miles
from Cardiff, They applied for adrmittance at, :I
respectab.le house in the neighbotrykood, is.ni wet
lefused. t They then proceeded to a faun-hose,
where they procured a cart to convey them it*
Cardiff. '1 hey were in a I:VW ,tasted state.
F.
cottager and his wife g,ive tip their only her}
one or two who were uti,ible to proceed to Cavities-.
Shuttle before the sloop weut down, a poor sol.,
slier took his wife anti child to !hr.t bow of the
sel, where they sat tio‘rn, arid calmly awaited
their fate. As the vessel went flown they chlAg
to each other, and i,r that stare floated a tnomenc
on the water, and then sunk, clasped in each,
other's arms.
We have not been able to ascertain exactly
where the melancholy accident happrned. Tho
