An Unfortunate vessel.

--The schooner Ship carpenter, of Dover, Del., was in collision, on the night of the 30th ult., with the schooner Shark, off Barnegat, N. J., and foundered in a few minutes. The captain, his wife and the crew saved themselves with difficulty, but a child of the captain, aged 2 years, was drowned. The same schooner, when under the command of Captain W H. Burrows, a few years ago, ran down a vessel at sea, and suit was brought, which was decided against Captain Burrows, which so affected him, that he has been, ever since, a hopeless maniac, in the alms-house of Kent county.
