DEATH OF A LOCAL SHIP'S OFFICER. The West Hartlepool steamer Waverley, reached Shields Harbour this morning, bringing information of the death of the second officer, Peter Jamieson. While the vessel was loading at New Orleans for the homeward passage, the deceased took suddenly ill, and medical aid was sought from the shore, but his condition became so critical that it was deemed necessary to remove him to the Touro Infirmary, where he died a few days after from an attack of acute peritonitis. The deceased officer was 27 years age, and resided at South House, Sunderland.

SAFETY OF A SHIPWRECKED CREW. Lloyd's Dungeness agent telegraphs that the steamer Waverley, La Plata for Antwerp, passed there are signalled:“ Have shipwrecked crew on board of P. Q. V. K., abandoned, sinking.” The weather was too thick to observe further signals. (P. Q. V. K. are the signal letters of the British schooner Pride of Anglesea, of Beaumaris).
