Shipwreck.—On Friday, the 9th November last, the schr. Captain's Boat, captain Greaves, of Currituck from Charleston, bound to this port, upset in a squall, in Pamlico Sound, about 25 miles below the Marshes, and all on board perished. Among the persons on board, we learn, was Mr. —Fisher, of Powell's Point, and Mr. Paulus Emelius Neil, of this town, who was returning in the vessel with the proceeds of the outward cargo. Two of the men drifted on shore at Chicamacomico Banks, and were buried: one of whom, from his dress, was supposed to be the unfortunate Neil. The schooner has since been boarded by the friends of the deceased: but she appeared to have been scuttled and robbed of everything on board.
