The deaths by the wreck of the Superb were more
numerous then was at first believed. "Upon a comparison of the passenger-list of the vessel with the names of those saved, it has been ascertained that at least seventeen persons have been lost; and from inquiries which have been made, it is feared that in addition to those, there were four other sufferers. Mr. 'Willis and niece, Mr. Pinson, Mrs. Baker and child; and a native of Jersey, name unknown, were amongst those drowned." The wrecked vessel remained -high and dry on the rocks for a tide or two ; but has now slid down the rock's side, and disappeared in deep water.
A fire which broke out yesterday in the warehouses of Messrs. Whitwall and Allward, ship-chandlers, on the Grove, Bristol, communed upitards of 6,0001. worth of property, and for some hours caused the greatest alarm for the safety of the shipping in the adjacent floating harbour. The premises of Messrs. Whitwall and Allward, of Messrs. Smith and Downing, store- keepers, of Mr. Humphrey, corn-merchant, and of Mr. Edward Reed, sail-' maker, were wholly destroyed.
