Colonial Secretary's Office, George-Town, Demerary,
28th February, 1815.
Charles Wilday,
Clk. Ct. Policy.

Arrivals, since our last. - His Majesty's sloop Fairy, Capt. Baker, from Barbados - having in charge, our new mail-boat, called the Demerary Packet; and the brig Sir George Beckwith. Also, the Nocton packet, with London Papers to the 12th of January; and the schooner Friends, thirty-three days from St. Andrew's.

We regret to announce, another fatal disaster on this coast. It seems, that as a boat belonging to the Fairy, was passing to a schooner, with a Lieutenant and thirteen of the crew, off Courabanna; the same was unfortunately upset by a heavy sea, and before any assistance could be rendered, the officer perished. The crew, however, was saved. - The sufferer, in this instance, whose name was Helpman, is represented to have been a gallant and able officer. The Fairy was one of the vessels in the late affair at Alexandria, on the river Potomack.

We likewise regret to find, that the sloop Blackbird, for this port, after having been three days from Barbados, was dismasted in a squall. She was taken in tow by the Maria brig of war, and returned to Barbados.

Since writing the above - the ship Jane, from Glasgow, and the brig Sarah, from Belfast, have made their appearance. They were part of the Cork Fleet; but parted company about fourteen days ago, off Madeira.
