Loss Of The Schr. LAGUIRE -- We are informed by Capt. Parker, owner of the schr. LAGUIRE, who has for some days past been on the coast about Pt. Abino, endeavoring to obtain some trace of his vessel, that near Windmill Point, an after-hatch was found, about 7 ft. square, painted lead color, belonging to some vessel unknown; likewise a forward hatch, painted green, apparently from the same vessel. A large green galley, with a provision box attached, was found at Point Abino. There were no marks on them by which the vessel to which they belonged could be identified. Capt. Parker was informed by Capt. Sloan, who resides at Point Abino, that two timber heads, with a plank across, are on the reef, at the extreme end of the Point. Considerable quantity of pork, which had washed ashore from wrecked vessels, had been picked up by the inhabitants, and appropriated to their own use. Capt. P. was not able to discover any vestige of his own vessel, but a quantity of flour known to have been on board, has been found on the coast. There is no doubt but that the whole of the unfortunate crew perished. The following are their names: Daniel N. Smith, acting master; Charles Cox, mate; James Read, Wm. Stowell, John Wallace, deck hands.
