We are sorry to state, that the only son of the Rev. John JONES, Rector of
Killie-Ayron, Cardiganshire, a promising youth of 14, was unhappily drowned
last week while bathing in the river Towy, near Carmarthen. The son also of
Mr BARRAR, painter of Monmouth, a boy about seven years old, amusing himself
with gathering flowers on the bank of a fish-pond at that place, fell into
the water, and no assistance being near, he unfortunately perished.
On Thursday morning, as the brig Merchant Taylor, of St Ives, Edward JOHN,
master, was sailing from Newport to Plymouth, laden with coals, she ran foul
of the Caroline, Cork trader and stove in two of her waist planks, which
occasioned the total loss of the Merchant Taylor; the captain and crew
having only time to save themselves on the bowsprit of the Caroline, before
she went down. We are sorry to say, the property was all the captain's, and
not a sixpence insured.
