    3. Saturday 30 Jan 1819 (p. 3, col. 5-6) SHIPPING. On Thursday last, was launched from the yard of Mesrs. [sic] KELSICK, WOOD, & Co. a fine new copper-bottomed brig, called the John Syme, burthen 285 tons, built for Capt. Jos. BUSHBY, who has been very successful in the Carricks, of Port Carlisle. Notwithstanding the wetness of the day, an immense number of persons were present to witness the launch. Melancholy Shipwreck.-About six o'clock on the morning of yesterday week, the fine ship Trelawney, 450 tons burthen, of Glasgow, Captain REID, bound for Jamaica, went on shore on the Ayrshire coast, betwixt Stevenston Burn and Irvine Bar. There was no communication betwixt the vessel and the land in the morning; but at ten o'clock it came to blow very hard with a heavy swell, when four of the crew came on shore in the jolly boat with a line, but it unfortunately slipped from the vessel. A cask, however, with a line, reached the shore, and four active adventurous seamen, of Saltcoats, (three of them ship masters) pushed off in a boat and succeeded in reaching the vessel. Having taken on board the captain and ten of the crew, which was as much as the boat could carry, they were returning, when the boat upset and all on board perished, within 200 yards of the shore, in the sight of a great number of people, who could give them no assistance. The body of Captain REID, and that of one of the ship-boys named CLARK, came on shore soon after, but all attempts to restore animation failed. The remainder of the crew, consisting of nine, with a passenger, were seen clinging to the masts and rigging all day, the sea breaking over the vessel, but no attempt could be made to save them, and four of them dropped off during the night. The other five seamen, with the passenger, were carried on shore next morning, the weather having moderated, and are fast recovering, from the humane attention they have met with. Those six with the four who got ashore in the jolly boat the preceding forenoon, are all that are saved, nineteen having been drowned, including the four men who lost their own lives in the generous attempt to save the lives of others. The following are the names of those four men, three of whom have left families: Capt. Robert WOOD, jun., Capt. Samuel FERROW, Capt. HUGHAN, and John HOGGERT, seaman.-The following are the names of the people saved:-James WALLACE, mate; D. M'DOUGALL, carpenter; Adam DUNCAN, 2nd mate; Alexander HENDERSON, boatswain; John BLACK, steward; Wm. PEARSON, George FAIRLIE, John CONNOLLY, John DOUGLAS, seamen, and a passenger. The vessel is supposed to have broken up. The cargo, fortunately was not very valuable, consisting mostly of herrings with some plantation stores, a considerable part of which will probably be saved. The Columbus, a fine West-Indiaman, belonging to Glasgow, was totally lost, near Campbelltown, on Friday. On the 17th inst. a new sloop, called the -- of Brae, Dan. RICHARDSON, master, was driven on shore near the harbour of Maryport, and totally dashed to pieces; crew saved. She was bound from Brae to Whitehaven for coals. The Manx smack, Imperieuse, LAWSON, went on shore on the 24th inst. (the same tide she sailed from Whitehaven,) at Workington, and soon went to pieces. The Acasta, PARKIN, of Whitehaven, from Jamaica, is wrecked in the Gulph of Florida. It is reported that two of the people are lost on account of their being sick, and could not be got out. The Harmony, of Whitby, 500 tons, John TRUEMAN, master, from St. John's, N. B. to Liverpool, with timber, was wrecked on Sunday se'nnight, at Rossleigh, county of Kerry, (Ireland,) accompanied with the distressing circumstance of the loss of eleven of her crew, and also of two pilots out of four, who boarded the vessel on her first appearance off the coast of Kells, near Iveragh. The Havannah Packet, from Havannah, for Liverpool, is on shore at the Point of Ayr. A sloop (name unknown) about 70 tons burthen, from Belfast to Liverpool, with a cargo of oats, is on shore near Girvan; vessel and cargo damaged. Cast up on Pilling Sands and neighbourhood, part of a vessel's deck, a boom, some butter in firkins, and loose, a pipe of oil, directed to Mr. A. HENRY, painter, Ulverstone, a bed, some spars, one bag of cotton, one chest, one case, and one seaman's chest; supposed to be from the New Liberty, Ulverstone trader.
