Shipwreck! The vessel stated in our last to be on shore at Cape St. Mary's, N.S. proves to be the Brig. "Charles" owned by Messrs E. Farley & Co. of (St. John) city which sailed hence on 22nd ult. for Liverpool and the body found to be that of her commander Capt. John WALKER, a young man much respected here. His remains were brought to this city in Packet Schr. "Barbara" on Thursday morn. and interred yesterday from residence of his uncle William WALKER, Esq. It does not appear that any of the crew of this vessel escaped. Parts of their limbs are said to have been discovered, dashed to pieces against the rocks!
