FRANCE . The Ohmaks PaopERTT . -Various decrees are pub . lishediuthe 'Moniteur / * a . ? ,,. Ori .. « . Thirty-five millions worth of timber of the lafe Orleans property annexed to the State is to be sold , and of the proceeds SOO . OOOf . Rentes Four-and-a-Half per Cent , to be . allotted to the Legion of Honour . Ten millions is devoted for the mutual assistance societies , ten millions for tbe amelioration of labourers' dwellings , ten millions for the encouragement of institutions of credit f ancier , and five millions for a retiring pension fund for assisting the poor fclergy . By the 4 th article the chateau of Rambouillet is appropriated for the establishment , under the direction of the Grand chancery of tbe Legion of Honour , of a house of educstion , destined for tbe indigent daughters or orphans
of families whose heads have obtained the military medal . JIo feature of the ordinance by which the property of the Orleans family * as confiscated was more odious than the application of the spoils to objects of charity ; because it insulted the public conscience , hy the offer of & gross bribe , to wink at a gross violation of law and justice . Tbe clergy ¦ were the first to repudiate their share of the plunder . The honour of the army was affronted at the dotation of the Legion of Honour from so impure a source . In short , every institution that was to be enriched at the expense of the exiled princes seemed disgraced by the iniquitous gift . In the present decree the monstrous proceeding of the executive power , in disposing arbitrarily of fifty millions of the public money for the creation of charitable institutions , hppears in its true light . Thelaw of the budget ordered the sale of forests to the amount of fifteen millions of francs .
The remaining thirty . nve millions of the fifty millions authorised to be raised in this way by the law of August 7 , 1850 , are now applied to the redemption of the rash pledges given in the decree of January 22 . The sale ol several domains cl the Orleans family is also directed , although t £ g proceeds , instead of being applied immediatel y ID »* ^ purposes indicated in the decree ot confiscation are to recruit the deficient treasury . Meanwhile a debt of upwards of eleven minions is created for the dotation of the Legion of Honour by Four-and-a-Half per Cent . Rentes . The Chateau Rambouillet is to be appropriated as a seminary for the daughters of the members of the order created by the decree of the 22 nd of January .
The Date of Mortemars , Generals Petit and Pjat , the Archbishop of Paris , M . Biueau , Minister of Finance ; the Marquis de Barncois , and Baron Heckeren , are named
senators . Martial law ceased from Sunday in all the departments of continental France . No arrests in future , except according to law- The mixed commission also cease , from tbe present date . The Code Civil resumes its former title of Code Napoleon . The libraries of the public palaces are attached to the department of the Minister of State . A central council of the reformed churches is established in Paris . By decrees in the' Moniteur / a society of credit fancier it authorised throughout tbe seven departments in the jurisdiction of the Paris Court of Appeal . The prefects are divided into three classes , members of tbe first of which will receive a salary of 40 , 000 f . ; of the second , 30 , 000 ! . ; and of the third , 20 , 000 ! .
The ' Moniteur' also contains a circular of the Minister of Justice , explaining several passages of tbe new law on the press , respecting which some differences of opinion prevailed . iThus , journals appearing every two days are to be classed n tbe category of journals published more than three times a week :, and their editors are consequently obliged to deposit tbe caution money required from daily papers , that is 50 , 000 f . As regards the report of tbe proceedings of the Legislative Body , the circular declares that the official minutes of the sittings of that body can neither be changed , altered , nor mutilated , and that no other report caa be offered to contradict it .
The Pnnce President reviewed on Sunday three newly arrivi-d regiments of foot and two of cavalry in the court of the Tailerieg . An immense crowd assembled to witness tbe sight , amongst whom were general cries of 'Vive Napoleon , ' a few only cried 4 Vive l'Emperenr . * The Prince was surrounded hy a brilliant staff . A body of 212 prisoner * , from the department of the ^ Saone et Loire , condemned to transportation , arrived at Lyons on the 21 st , and were lodged in the fort of Vitriolerie . A number of persons appeared in the streets to see tbe prisoners pass , but no disturbance took place . They were to proceed the next day on their way to Marseilles , where tbey are to embark for Algeria .
INSTALLATION OF THE LEGISLATIVE BODIES . Declarations oy Loins Hapoxeon . —On Monday the President read his discourse before the great bodies of the State , at tbe Tuileries . At one o ' clock tbe Prince President get forth from the Elysee in a carriage surrounded by a guard of honour composed of the Carabineers in brass cuirasses and helmets , and on bis way to the Tuileries excited much curiosity and interest . Many cried 'Vive Napoleon' as he passed along , hut there was nothing like zealous or extravagant enthusiasm . At the Tuileries a double line of soldiers was drawn tip within the court , and the grand staircase was lined with . Gendarmerie Mobile . As the cortege alighted , composed of ministers , with Prince Jerome and other important personages , the scene was very animated . All the time the cannon fired as in the time of tbe monarchy . The following passages were received with enthusiastic cheers : —
'If peace is secured in France , it is not less so abroad . Foreign powers respect our independence , and -we have the greatest interest to preserve with them tbe most friendly relations . As long as the honour of France is not compromised , the duty of government is to avoid carefully all causes of perturbation in Europe , and to lend all its efforts towards internal improvement . 'On seeing me restore the Empire ' s institutions and Btttaemrs , it has been often repeated that I wished to reestablish the Empire itself ; if such had been my constant pre-occnpation , this transformation would long since have taken place . Neither the means nor the occasions have failed me . '
The President then said thaton the 14 th December , 1848 , on the 31 st Jane , 1849 , and lastly , oa the 2 nd of last December , the people would not have refused him a pompons title if he had asked it . He continued : — * I am still resolved to-day , as I was before , to do every thing for France—nothing for myself . I would not accept of modifications of the present state of things unless compelled to it by evident necessity . From whence can this proceed ? Solely from the conduct of the parties ; if tbey submit , nothing will be altered ; hut if , by their aecret proceedings , they would strive to undermine the basis of my government , then , but enly then , it might be reasonable to demand from the people , in the name of the peace of Prance , a new title that would irrevocably fix on my bead the power which it has invested in me .
'Let to keep tbe republic ; it menaces nobady , but xeassures everyone . ' The Minister of State then proceeded to administer tbe oath of fidelity , and obedience to the Constitution . The ceremony was very simple , each person , on his name being called , rose , and stretching forth his band , said 'Je lejure . ' The first to take the oath was the Prince Jerome , and then followed the calling over tbe names of tbe senators . One or two deaf elderly gentlemen excited some little merriment
hy the ardour with which they made np for the delay occasioned by their want of promptitude , and not the least amused appeared the Prince President himself . Some sensation was evidently felt at the moment the names of Gen . Cavaiguac and M . Carnot were pronounced hy there being no reply , both bon . members having absented themselves . Immediately after tbe swearing was over the Minister of State announced the sessions to have opened , and all separated . The ceremony did not occupy more than forty minutes .
Of the Legislative Corps , M . Billault ' s name was the first called , aa President of the Chamber of Deputies . M . Bilhult responded with alacrity . But when it was apparent that tbe names beginning with a C were commencing , every ear was on the watch . M . Cassabianca called out , as it seemed , a little lender than the rest , the name of General CavaigMC . There was a pause of some moments—no General Cavai gnac replied , and no one for him . Still a pause of someaeconds-and , the Minister went on . M . Carnot a name was then called—no reply . Thesame panse , the same silence as before . M . Henon , the newly elected Democratic deputy from Lyons , was also called , but did not answer . There were also four or five other names to which so answer was returned .
Nearly two sheets of tbe 'Moniteur' of Monday are filled with decrees of the President of the Republic , and the reports on which tbey are founded . The long talked of fusion , tbey say , is on the point of f aking place between the two branches . It is merely reduced to a question of etiquette . The Orleans princes de . xnand that the Comte de Cbambord shall pay tbe first visit to the Queen Amelie . Tbe Bonrbons will then agree on a manifesto , which is to be kept secret until the moment comes for a coup de main . They will then launch their agents with millions into France , to bribe the army and buy a military revolution .
The' Moniteur' of Tuesday contains a decree ordering the construction of an edifice on the system of the Crystal Palace , b the great square of tbe Champs Elysees , destined to receive the National Exhibition , and capable of serving tor public ceremonies and civil and military fetes .

France. The Ohmaks Paopertt. -Various De...
Monsieur le President , —The electors of Paris and Lyons came to seek us in retirement er in exile . We thank them for having thought that our names would of themselves protest against the destruction of public liberties , and the rigours of arbitrary rule . But we do not admit that they wished to send us ' to sit in a legislative body whose powers do not extend to repairing the violations of right . We condemn the immoral doctrine of mental reservation { reticences et anie ns pensees ) and we refuse the oath required upon entering the " Corps Let > islatif . " We bfg you , Al . le President , to be good enoujh to make this declaration known to the Assembly . —Paris , 29 th March , 1852 . —Cavaignac , Carxot , Henon . , ,, , the bold t
Murmurs -were escited in the Chamber by -rms in which the proceedings of the eovernment were characterised . It was aereed to have out of th ? proces-verlial all that could he interpreted as offensive to the supreme power of the state . The house then passed a declaration that the three members in question were to be considered as having resigned their s ? afs , and the President took measures for deferring to the government the appointment of a period for proceeding to " new elections to supply the place of the resigning members . M . de Renouard ' s resignation of his seat was announced in consequence of his having accepted functions incompatible with the mandate of deputy . Tbe Ssnate also met . Its sittings are secret . Ths President , Jerome Bonaparte , delivered an opening address , in which he repeated , for the thousandth time , the favourite pretences of Bonapartism .
Rumour has attached to the mission of the Prince de Canino to Rome , much significance in relation to the supposed design of restoring the empire . It is reported that the Prince de Canino , who arrived at Civita Vecclna in the French steamer Telemaque , on the 23 rd of March was prevented from lauding by a commissary of police , despatched by the Apostolic delegate , governor of the Roman port . M . Charles Bonaparte represented in vain that he was the bearer of despatches from the French government to M . de Reynevuy envoy to the court of the Vatican , and General Gemeau , commander of the French troops of occupation . The delegate only recognised in him tbe ex-President of the Roman Constituent Assembly , and the r epresentative of a revolutionary party .
The papsrs contain no remarks worth repeating on the President ' s speech . The 'Debats , ' ' Presse / and ' Siecle ' are silent . M . de Maupas has signified to the 'Presse' that the opposition , moderate as it is , which that paper mamtains , will not b ? tolerated . A new batch of senators is talked of . M . Emile de Girardin has' -sumed bis editorial pen in the ' Presse' newspaper .
ITALY . ROME . —His Holiness held a public consistory on the morning of the 18 th March , and presented the cardinal ' s hat to Cardinals Mathieu , Archbishop of Besanc , on , created on the 30 th of September , 1850 , and Lucciardi , D'Andrea , they demanded and enforced in a great many inand Morichini , just now created . The official paper of the 18 th March announces that his Holiness , by a brief dated that day , has named Cardinal An tonelli his Secretary of State , which office he has hitherto discharged only as pro-secretary .
GERMANY . PRUSSIA . —Bbklik . —The Second Prussian Chamber in its sitting of March 23 rd , rejected the billon fiefs and en tails , as passed by the Upper House , and passed a resolution for repealing the 40 th and 41 st articles of the constitution , and substituting others which interdict the establishment of ne » fiefs , and guarantee the abolition , by legislative means , of those which already exist . The Minister of Commerce has issued instructions urging the directories of all railroads only to emply on the lines persons who , they feel assured , will never make use
of the facilities afforded by their situation for forwarding democratic intelligence from place to place , or in any way favouring tbe conveyance of suspected persons or packages . The people of Berlin have been greatly astonished by the seizure of two newspapers , one , the' Protestant , ' a religious journal ; the other , the ' Preussiscbe Wochenblatt , ' lately founded , and still conducted , by M . Bethmann-Hollweg , one of the most eminent members of ( he Conservative party in Prussia . His Conservatism , however , has not restrained him from professing upon numerous occasions his dissatisfaction with the Manteuffel policy , its humiliations of Prussia , and its want of consistent vital principles .
. On the 27 th of March the First Chamber repeated its vote on the constitution of the peerage , by tbe majority of the former division . It is rumoured that the odious Hassenpriugand the Elector of Hesse are not likely to agret much longer . Each knows the . other perfectly , and no affection is lost between them . Haisenpflug opposes the very slender concession of the Diet , which proposes to submit the constitution about to be promulgated to the new chamber . The Elector , on the other hand , knows that in the end he must submit to the Diet , whose creature he is , and having a more valuable interest in the matter than his minister , is it is said endeavouring to replace the latter . The protocol of the German fleet congress at Hanover is published , and proves that that meeting was practically a complete failure .
AUSTRIA . —The British secretary of lfigation , Lord Wellesley , was interred on the 23 rd of March . He died in the dower of his youth . His remains were attended to tbe grave by the English Ambassadors at Frankfort and Carlsruhe , as well as by all the principal persons attached to the British embassy here , and members of the highest families . He was the nephew of the Duke of Wellington . By bis early death some of the principal English nobility are placed in mourning . . V / URTEMBERG . —The Wurtemberg Diet is adjourned for an indefinite period . The duration of the session of the Bavarian Chambers has been prolonged to April 30 . The Second Saxon Chamber closes , according to a royal decree just issued , with the month of April , SCHLESWIG . HOLSTEIN-The state of siege has been removed in the duchy of Schleswig .
DISSOLUTION OF THE BREMEN CHAMBER . A telegraphic dispatch from Hamburg , dated March 30 th , states that the Senate of Bremen , in accordance with the Federal Commissioner , had tbe day before suspended the liberty of the press and the right of meeting , and had also dissolved the Chamber . A new Chamber will be convoked under a different form of election . Bremen was quiet . The ' Gazette de Voss' states that the constitution for Electoral Hesse will shortly be made public , and that the new States will be summoned . It is thought the state of siege will not be raised till five or six weeks after the constitution is promulgated .
SWITZERLAND . On March 24 th , several persons were tried by the tribunal of correctional police ot the town of Basle for insulting Louis Napoleon , by exhibiting a caricature of him , and singing a song containing offensive expressions in a procession during the carnival . The author of the song , a schoolmaster , the painter of the caricature , and two young men who were prominent as singers , were sentenced to four months * imprisonment . The printer of the song , and three other persons , were sentenced to a fortnight ' s imprisonment .
The council of the Canton of Ticino has announced to the federal government that the Austrian government has spontaneously offered full satisfaction to tbe canton for tbe violation of its territory , committed some time ago by three Austrian soldiers , between Germignano and Ponte Treses , in tbe district of Lnganb .
SPAIN . One of the secret police , Pedro Aguao , the lieutenant of Cbico , the Spanish Vidocq , has been arrested for having , with bis son ' s help , forged a mass of treasonable correspondence , with the signatures of many of the most distinguished public men iu the country , implicating them in a pretended conspiracy with tbe regicide Martin Merino . This villain has been recently dismissed from the service , but like many other ex-police agents had occasional jobs given him to do , by way of finding out criminals difficult to he got at .
The journal' La Nacion' having published some days before an article offensive to the Prince President of tbe French Republic , the French Ambassador , General Aupick , lodged a complaint with the Marquis of Miraflores , who hastened to communicate it to bis colleague of the Interior . The latter immediately ordered proceedings to be taken against tbe author of the article . The editor of the 'Nacion ' was arrested and his caution-money seized .
UNITED STATES . The Royal mail steam ship America . Shannon commander , arrived in the Mersey on Monday evening . The news from California is not of striking interest . New diggings had been discovered at Butte Calaverass county , and the dirt averages from two dollars to three dollars per pan . Two men—an Englishman and an Irishman—had been hung in California for robbery . Business in general throughout California was brisk . The shipping interest was dull . " There had been an excessive drought throughout California , ' which prevented miners working as successfully as tbey would otherwise have done . A steamer had been lost off the cost of Oregon ; fortytwo persons had perished . Late advices from Perue state that order was completely restored in that Republic .
From Bolivia the accounts state that a change of Ministry was announced . The forces of General Cruz were defeated with terrible slaughter near Longamillo , and a subsequent revolt and total dispersion of his army followed , Advices from Panama to the 14 th of March , state that much distress prevailed there among persons who bad taken through-tickets to California by the Independent in there having been no steamer forthe . pasttwo months ,
France. The Ohmaks Paopertt. -Various De...
The Panama Railroad is opened to about forty miles above Cbagres . Late advices from Northern Mexico confirm the defeat of Caravajal . Letters received at 'Washington from Japan state that the Japanese had applied to the Dutch to assist them in enforcing the doctrine of non-intervention . - The ' Kingston Journal' states tha * . it learns with regret that it is considered that Grey Tovtn is likely to be made the seat of misunderstanding between Great Britain and the 'United States , by a somewhat siiaiiiar attempt being made there to that which was made on Cuba a short time ago .
TURKEY . A telegraphic despatch { via Vienna ) , dated Constantinople , March 13 , states that a number of publications of a seditious character , and intended for distribution amongst the Bulgarians , had been seized by the government . At Bnjukdere fifty houses and as many shops had been destroyed by fire . . . ' Advices from Constantinople , of the 15 th of March , slate that Faud Effendi had been sent to Egypt to arrange with Abbas Paeha the difficulties connected vmh the introduction of the Tanzimaat . The return of Reschid Pacha to the post of Grand V . zier was received everywhere with joy . Mustapha Pacba , the new President of the Council , is an able minister and a reformer .
MALTA . March 22 . —On Wednesday last Admiral S ir William Parker , Bart ., G . C . B ., left the Admiralty House , to proceed on board the Queen . Several staff officers assembled to bid farewell to tbe Commander in Chief of the ' naval forces . To them Sir Wm . Parker addressed himself , expressing the gratification he had ever experienced from tbe manner in which tip heads of departments had seconded his views , and from the courtesies he had always met with from the public in Malta . The old admiral then embarked under a salute of fourteen guns from Fort St , Angelo , the ships in port manning their yards .
Tbe island is in a state oi considerable excitement , to-aay being fixed upon for the third reading of the Militia Bill in the Council . As it is proposed , the measure is unpopular , not , as I believe , from the Maltese lacking the courage to defend themselves if attacked , but on account of tbe provisoes to deprive them of their civil liberties and privileges if they do not go out when called on , In a word , the measure has been proposed and carried before the people knew of it , and has been badly timed .
INDIA . Telegraphic advices from Trieste of the 26 tb of March inform us of the arrival of the Adiia . Negotiations having failed , and tbe Burmese continuing their insults , a force of 6 , 000 men—3 , 000 from Calcutta , and the same number from Madras—was to set out for Burmah on or about the 12 th of March . A squadron , consisting of six war steamers , had already left Bombay for the same destination , and will transport the troops from Madras to Rangoon . The force under Sir Colin Campbell has returned to Peshawur . The following extracts are from the 'Bombay Times' : — ' We mentioned in our last the extreme anxiety of the Governor-General to avoid conflict , and to accept " oi any arrangement that could be made not consistent with our
safety and dignity to restore amicable relations with Burmah ; he was said to have disapproved of the abduction of the Burmese ship of war by Commodore Lambert , and to have offered to restore her ; but he insisted on justice being done to our injured merchants . The proposition was treated with insolence , and replied to through the hands of a common labourer , and it became quite clear that all that was desired was to gain time—the Burmese sovereign had no intention to comply in any way with our behests . ' It then details the preparations for war , and proceeds— ' While these matters were being arranged , despatches were received from Burmah professing a desire for peace : the first condition was that we should change ihe channel of communication to Msjor Bogle , the commissioner , instead of through Commodore Lambert ; the arrogance of dreaming of prescribing to us how we should conduct our arrangements sufficiently indicated the temper of
the monarch , so our preparations were pushed on . We have not leisure for a regular campaign , and should matters not be completely settled by tho middle of May , the forces , after doing as much mischief as possible , will return to Bombay aud Calcutta , to renew operations in October . The Burmese government will be compelled to recompense the British merchants for the loss already occasioned them , to meet all the charges of the war , and to admit hereafter a British resident within their country . The indemnity will most probably be exacted in the shape of a slice of territory ; should resistance became protracted , it is not improbable that wo may annex as many of their provinces as we desire—the foundation , in all likelihood , of the acquirement of tho whole magnificent peninsula j and on this occasion we seem to have justice on our side , and to have acted with extreme moderation . India throughout continues tranquil , but there are strange rumours of an intended outbreak of tho Moplahs in Malabar .

Loss Of The Brig Jambs Ray, —On Saturday...
Loss of the Brig Jambs Ray , —On Saturday night tbe English brig Jsmes Ray , Lang master , arrived at Malta , with his crew ( eleven in number ) in his longboat . It appears from the facts we are enabled ta collect , that tbe brig left Trieste on the 12 th of March , with a cargo of grain , morocco leather , and cotton , for Liverpool weather Iresh . On the 19 th she sprang a leak early , which gained rapidly , the crew constantly employed at the pumps , and all endeavours to free her were fruitless . The pumps became shortly after chocked by the grain , and the captain , finding all hopes of saving his ship gone , determined on abandoning her . He put into the longboat a small quantity of water and provisions , his papers and chronometer , and embarking his crew , stayed by the unlucky brie for an hour , when she went down . The accident happened off Mount Etna , E .
60 , and 175 distant from Malta . From the moment they embarked till in sight of tbe island they fell in with no ship . The sailors , with the humane feeling which is often shown , would not allow a parrot to perish , but took it with them , and it is now alive in Malta . —Alalia , March 12 , The tide of emigration from Germany has set in this year earlier and stronger than ever . From Holstein , rather than submit to the severe measures of the Danish officials—from Electoral Hesse , to escape the government of Hassenpflug--from Schwarzburg , Sonderhausen , Eisenach , and , generally sneaking , from the inland States , to escape starvation— . from Hanover and Prussia leaet of all . Their destinations are the United States , Mexico , and even Brazil , in spite of the constantly recurring evil tidings of the miserable fate of their brethren who have preceded them there , but now sail for Australia . Why do not tbe Australian deputies now in England seek to divert to their shores a portion of this vast stream of patient , persevering , and peaceable labourers ?
The Scaffold in Prussia . —On the 9 th of March , at the assizes of Ostrowo , in Prussia , eight robbers were in one day condemned to the punishment of beheading . Denmark . —The " Fadrelandet" announces tho decease oftho Dowager Queen Maria Sophia Frederika , who was born a Princess of Hesse Cassel , and who died on the 22 nd of March , at the age of eighty-four years . She was born on the 28 th of Ooiobor , 17 G 7 , and married to King Frederic VI .. on the Slsfc of July , 1700 . The Mariansa . —Tho " Wiener Zsituns" publishes a telegraphic dispatch dated Trieste , March 21 st , stating that , from tho appearance of several parts of the wreck of the unfortunate Marianna , it is evident that the steamer was destroyed by fire , and tho explosion of the gunpowder store-room ; whether tho fire originated there , or how tho fatal accident occurred , will probably never be known , as none of tho sixty-six persons on board have survived to tell the tale . Several bodies which have been picked up have been identified asihoseof the crew of the Marianna .
Experiments continue to be made in the fortifications at Mentz to render gun-cotton serviceable for war purposes as well as for blasting operations . An Austrian artillery officer , Baron Link , is said to have arrived at the most important results , inasmuch as the range , to be procured with it , prepared after his system , is much greater than with powder , with a greater certainty of tho shot , and less danger ot explosion during manipulation . An English vessel , the 'Toung Captain , ' John Rogers master , bound from Lisbon to Poole , laden with salt , is reported to have struck on the rocks of the Grands Porceux near Brest , on Monday morning . The ship filled at once ! Tho crew , consisting of seven men , were saved in the pinnace , and effected a landing at the Conquet . A part of the cargo , the sails , and some portion of tho wreck have been saved .

Tho crew amounted to eighteen men , including mas ter and officers ; only three were saved . The ship was a fine vessel , 400 tons burden . Memorandum fob Taxation Adjusters . —The whole interest of
the National Debt ( £ 27 , 000 , 000 ) is paid by six taxes , whith fall at this moment upon the lowest class of the commnnity ; the tax on tea , on sugar , on coffee , on spirits , on malt , on tobacco : these six articles raise a revenue of above £ 30 , 000 , 000 annually . The whole civil government of this country does not cost £ 20 , 000 , 000 ; £ 10 , 000 000 less than the interest of the National Debt . If vou are to transfer the burden from land to indirect taxation , you in fact impose it upon the people . —Sir James Graham at Carlisle .

Fatal Shipwreck. — On The Morning Of The...
Fatal Shipwreck . — On the morning of the 23 rd of March , the ship Emma , of London , 450 tons register , from Honduras to Queenstovra for orders with a valuable cargo of mahogany , logwood , dec , struck on a sunken rock a little to the east of Fileareel bay , Dunworley , and instantly became a total wreck , when , melancholy to relate , fifteen out of the eighteen hands on board met with watery graves . It seems , from what can be gathered from the survivors , that there was an head wind at an early hour that morning , which compelled them to tack , and a dense fog prevailing at the same time prevented them seeing where they were , until the vessel , with the weight of 800 tons cargo , thumped with dreadful violence , and then speedily went to pieces . As soon as the crew perceived their danger they all ran on deck and were all collected on the poop , when a terrific sea caught the vessel and broke her right amidships , at the game time capsising the poop and its living freight into the surge . After being knocked about amid the heavy baulks of
roauosany ana the tunous seas , three poor drippine , halfnaked and sorely bruised sailors made their way to a rock , from which they then were cast back three or four times by he angry waves , but at last they succeeded in holding on ( in one instance a poor fellow had to catch the moss with his T 3 ' U as r , stance T was procured , which was speedily rendered by Messrs . Ifawkes , Leary , and Tresilian , of Dunworley , whose intimate knowledge of the coast and soundings rendered their preferred aid invaluable . The coast guards from the Fileareel station were also promptly on the spot , arid by means of hawsers , & c , the poor survivors were quickly rescued horn their perilous position . The vessel was completely smashed and her valuable cargo strewn over the waters , but wo are happy to say a great deal of the matiogany ( . we believe ninety-seven baulks ) have been saved , and are now being salvaged on Dunworlev strand . Tho
snip s papers also , and a large sum of money , have been recovered by Mr . John Heard , one of the salvors . Among many affecting incidents connected with this melancholy catastrophe one is particularly remarkable . While beating out ot the bay of Honduras some of the crew discovered , much totheir amazement , a poor sailor lashed to a plank . They quickly put him on hoard , and having aoplied restoratives they soon had tho satisfaction of seeing ' him recover ; His story was a short one . He had been shipwrecked , and lashed himself to a plank , in hopes of escaping a watery grave . He did osciipo , but to meet a similar fate on the iron-bound coast of > tilt ! south of Ireland .
