London.  The following is an extract of a letter from
Dungarvan, Dec. 6.  "A vessel was stranded on Sunday morning
within three miles of this town;  she was bound from Cork to
Bristol. . . The ship split from stem to stern, and the
whole cargo is lost.  Of 31 passengers 26 were drowned;
among them Lieut. Savage and Ensign Fenton, with 13 soldiers
of Col. Yorke's regiment, . . .  two soldiers and a drummer,
were all that escaped."
