RUMOURED FATAL ACCIDENT—We feel extreme regret in stating, that considerable fears are entertained that _Capt. Pierce Galwey, his two sons, one 17 and the other 12 years old,, with a servant boy, have met a watery grave, Capt. Galwey having proceeded from Passage with them on Thursday last, in a small sail boat, for a relative of his in the vicinity of _Kinsale, and no account having been since received of them. _Fears for _their safety have been entertained by it being mentioned that a boat was seen off_Ringabella, bottom up, in the course of Saturday.
