The bodies of two young men who were unfortunately drowned on Wednesday se'nnight, have been found. One of them named Richard NORRIS, a watchmaker of this town was heard to call out several times for assistance. About ten minutes afterwards he was taken out of the water to a public house, adjacent, and means used to restore animation, but the vital spark being totally extinct, they proved ineffectual. A coroner's inquest was held on Thursday on the body, when a verdict of "accidental" was returned. The body of the other young man named John SHEPHERD a printer, was found on Tuesday morning last


Melancholy event

On Saturday evening August 7, six boatmen from Hoylake, took a boat and went on Hoylake bank, at low water, to dig for copper, suposed to have been left from a wreck. Two of the party, Joseph LITTLE and Samuel SINCOCK, by some mischance separated, it is supposed five miles from their companions, who at night on the return of the tide, got into their boat, but exerted themselves for a considerable period, by repeatedly shouting, and by sailing round the bank in different directions to endeavor to discover them. When the party first separated they agreed to meet at a certain place, which is supposed some of them had mistaken. As they could not swim, and the tide was gradually surrounding them, they had to endure for a considerable time, the horrible feelings that must have been excited by the certainty of their miserable fate, it was midnight whcih must have increased their feelings of despondancy. In this dreadful situation it would appear that were anxious their bodies should be found, for they fixed their shovels in the sand, to which they tied themselves with their shirts, their handkerchiefs and their hat bands. The strength of the tide, or their own strugglingmust have loosened the shovels from the sand, as the poor men were found dead next morning, tied to their shovels, within a few yards of the spot, where from appearances they had in all probability fastened themselves.

Joseph LITTLE has left a wife pregnant, and three children: as they are very poor, and are suddenly deprived of an industrious husband and a good father, the smallest dontaions will be gratefully received for them on board the floating bath, at the Courier and Mercury offices and booksellers.
