LOSS OF THE FROLIC.

TENET, TUESDAY, MARCH 22.—1 am sorry to have to
mention the loss of the Frolic, Haverfordwest Steamer, on
the coast of Glamorgan, by striking on the Nash Sands,
when every person on board perished.
From this Town there were on board,

My poor friend, General NORMAN MACLEOD,
Colonel GoRDON, and his Servant,
Mrs. Colonel BOYD, leaving twelve Motherless Orphans,
the youngest only six weeks old; and she was on her wad•
to see her sons, at school, at Bath.
And her Cousin, Miss RICHARDSON.
From the Dock-yard, Pembroke, there were the on!y son,
and eldest daughter, of Mrs. Henderson, who were both,
poor things, dancing most gaily at our St. David's Ball.
News has just reached us, that the bodies of Captain
JEWKIN s, the Master of the Frolic, and Miss HEND►:RSON,
unmutilated, have been found on the shore, near the Nash
Point.

The melancholy event has thrown a great gloom upon
the town,—and indeed on the country round.
The Nash, or Road Sands, are well known in this chan-
nel ; are near the Mumbles, and are rather rocks than sands.
It was a foggy dark night, with squally wind.

MEETING OF MERCHANTS AND BANKERS.--A public
meeting of the Merchants and Bankers of London took
place this morning in the Egyptian Hall, at the Mansion
House, for the purpose of expressing their approval of the
measures of Reform introduced by Ministers, and of peti-
tioning Parliament to carry the same into a law.—
The LORD MAYOR entered the hall about half-past twelve
o'clock, accompanied by very many of the most wealthy and
influential Gentlemen, connected with the Commerce or
Banking Interests, of this great Metropolis. The body of
the hall was completely filled with respectable Gentlemen.
The Meeting was addressed in a spirited manner by the
LORD MAYOR; and Mr. JOHN SMITH introduced the first
resolution, which was seconded by Mr. THOMAS BONA R.
and carried amid general acclamations. The meeting
was proceeding when our Reporter left. The present
is the most important meeting that has yet tait'll place
in the City. The Hall was densely crowded, even to
the niche in the wall; and many hundreds cent twa).
being unable to get in.
