Two ships have been wrecked, the sailors from which reached this port a few days ago. They reported that with seven others they were wrecked on the desert island of Morant Cayo, a little distance S.E. of Kingston.

A steamer was despatched to the assistance cf the seven men left on the Island, and these have just been brought here.
