The Frolic was of large size, Ofeigirti.llcone----Power, commanded by
Captain Jenkins, a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, and had a full and
competent crew, together with an experienced pilot ; so that the accident
must be ascribed to the dark, dismal and tempestuous weather that pre.
veiled at the time. Passengers from Milford, Tenby, and the sur-
rounding country usually came by the Frolic ; and we are sorry to say
that she had a greater number of passengers by this trip than usual.
It is quite impossible to state, accurately, how many were on
board at the time, and there are very contradictory reports in
circulation ; but from the best information we can collect, the number
of passengers' is estimated to be about forty, and the crew fifteen. Sx.
teen bodies, it is said, have been picked up. Nautical men are of
opinion that she must have gone over almost instantly after taking the
sands.—The body of Miss Henderson, eldest daughter of W. Hender-
son, Esq. (contractor for the vaults at Hobb's Point), was found by her
friends on Sunday last, with her two trunks beside her. She was buried,
at Cowbridge on Wednesday. The body of her brother ,a fine young man,
aged about 22, has not yet been discovered. The Captain and steward
(Pilchards) belonged to Haverfordwest, where the following persons em.
barked :—Mr. J. Grit the, currier, of Prendergast; Mr. J. Lloyd, late
ibutler, to R. J. Ackland, Esq. of Boulston ; Mr. George Evans, of
Haverfordwest ; Mr. John Bartham, of London, late of Lawrenny, near
Pembroke; Mr. W. Griffiths, of Pentepatk Mill, near Haverford.

yard, Pembroke, ;he only son and eldest daughter of W. Henderson,
Esq ; and three young men of the names of Bennett, Richard-, and
George.—At Milford, Miss Legge, a Hoe young woman, about 18
years of age, accompanied by Ales. Revnish of that town ; also
Mrs. Hardway, and Mr. Jenkins, late housemaid and butler at
Castle Hall. At Tenby. General 111.Leod (late of the lot Royal
regiment of foot) Colonel Gordon. (late of the Queen's Bays) and ser.
vant, Mrs. Colonel Boyd, Mrs. Richardson, and seven or eight others,
names unknown. We have now completed the melancholy list, as far
as our means of information and the nature of the disastrous occurrence
will admit. It is impossible to describe the distress that prevails in the
places we have enumerated, in consequence of the loss of friends sus-
tained by this unfortunate event. One of the captain's children was
buried on Saturday morning, just after the intelligence had arrived at
Haverfordwest, and he has left eight alive, and ,lire. Jenkins in the fa-
mily way. The steward has left a wife and four children totally unpro-
vided for ; but the inhabitants of Haverfordwest, with their usual
promptness kr succour the distressed, have largely contributed to their
relief.—Cumbrian.

A 131:311EL or GOOD FELLOWS.—The editor of tha
New York paper, in a tect.nt*xcursion from the city, skimmed over the
cut river in a steam boat, belonging to one Mr. Peck, landtd on the
wharf of another Mr. Pcck, hired a barouch of a third Mr. Peck, and
dined at the hotel of a fourth Mr. Peck.—Boston Statesman.

A Rev. Dean, who was very economical of his wine, de-
t.canting one day on the extraordinary performance of a blind man,
remarked that the poor fellow could ttee no more than • that bottle.' No
wonder at that, Sir, replied a minor canon. • for we have seen no more
than that bottle all the afternoon.'

Thursday there was a sale at the Auction Mart of a free-
hold estate of 3,400 acres, in the island of Jamaica, together with 190
negroes, and 100 head of horned cattle. It was knocked down at
11,400 guineas. Two persons cf respectable appearance protested
against the sale, on the ground that negroes ought not to be sold. They
denounced it as irreligious and unjust.
The Epping Hunt, as Fitzatephcn informs us, commenced
in 1226, when King Het ry 111. confirmed to the citizens of London
free warren, or liberty to hunt a circuit about their city, in the warren
of :Raines, Hainanit Forest (of which Epping Forest was formerly a
part), &c. and, in ancient times, the Lord ;Mayor, Aldermen, and Cor-
poration. attended by a due number of their constituents, availed them-
selves of this tight of chase in solemn gui'e. It has now, however, lost
them in their corporate capacity, and the annual sport has de3enerated
into a farcical show.

HIGII VOICE:S.—Me Spaniards were particularly cele-
bruted for the extraordinary height of their falsettos, and were sought
after to sing the upper parts. They were succeeded by the artificial so.
prani, whose race, it is to be hoped, is well nigh extinct. The last fal-
setto Spaniard of the pontifical chapel, Giovanni di Sanctos by Dame,
died 1623; and the first soprano, Padre Giroamo Rossini, was adulated
in 1601.—Harmonicox.

THE WINGED LION OF VENICE.—AU Imperial Am-
bassador once asked tauntingly of the Doge in what country such lions
were to be found In the same country which produces spread
eagles" was the happy reply.
How TO PLEASE YOUR FRIENDS.—Go to India, stay
there twenty years, work hard, get money, save it, come home—bring
with you a store of wealth, and a diseased liver ; visit your friends,
make a will, provide for them all—then die—what a prudent, good,
generous, kind-hearted soul you will be !
AN ODD ACQUITTAL.—A girl was tried last week for
stealing spate of black silk stockings ; but It being proved upon evi-
dence that they were odd ones, she was acquitted. Arguing that two
do not make a pair, is as good as the Irish derision, that a dead duck
was not a duck.—Costratry Paper. [Our country contemporary is
' wrong ; the celebrated dead duck decision eras not as hish decision,
but an English one, solemnly delivered from the Bench at Worcester
Assists, within these last three or four years.]
