THE HUMAN AND THE ELEPHANTINE RACE.-Mr. John Levett, of Dublin, has backed himself for a three mile race against one of Mr. Bell's elephants. It is pretty clear who will bear off the Bell, as we suppose that gentle man will ride his own animal; but it is not so clear who will carry away the prize, for, in spite of the size, strength, and speed of the elephant, the biped will most likely have one advantage. Unless Mr. Levett carries a portmanteau, it will not be a fair handicap, as the elephant will be en cumbered with his trunk. )REIGN TRE LONDON, 191, PLEET-STREET, near Temple:ow : .

This Company is formed for the purpose of constructing and working a railway from the city of Buenos Ayres to Chascomus, under a concession dated 11th June, 1862, granted by the Government of Buenos Ayres to Mr. Edward Lumb. Some of the principal conditions of the concession (a trans lation of which may beinspected at the offices of the solici tors) are as follows :- 1. It secures a guarantee of 7 per cent. for the term of 40 years from the Buenos Ayres Government, on an expenditure not exceeding £lO,OOO per mile. The line is to be completed in sections, and the guarantee takes effect from the opening of each section to the public. The Government to be repaid out of subsequent surplus profits any advances made under their guarantee. 2. The line must be commenced within 18 months from the 11th June, 1862, and completed in four years from its com mencement. 3. The Government lands required for construction of the line, stations, &c., are ceded free to the Ccmpany. 4. A right is granted to the Company to construct any branches, but the Government are not bound to pay any guarantee thereon, unless they require the Company to con struct them, or to extend the line to Dolores, in which event the Government guarantee 7 per cent. on the cost of those works. 5. The Government to have the right of purchasing the line on payment 01 20 per cent. profit on its original cost, 6. All articles for the construction and use of the railway to be admitted free of duty for the term of 40 years. 7. The railway, and all property belonging thereto, to be exempted from any contribution or tax for the same period. 8. The guarantee to be made up and paid at the end of each year. The line, which is about 75 miles in length, has been care fully surveyed during the present year by English engineers under the direction of Mr. Thomas Rumball, C.E. A guaranteed contract has been made with Messrs. Peto and Betts for the construction of the line, including stations, workshops, and purchases of land, and also the provision of a sufficient amount of suitable rolling stock. The contract pro vides for the completion of the works in accordance in every respect with the provisions of the concession. An arrange ment has been made with Mr. Rumball, by which he under takes all the engineering expenses for a fixed sum, and the transfer of the concession, including all preliminary expenses up to the formation of the Company, has been agreed upon for a fixed sum. rovision has been made for the payment of 6 per cent. in terest during the construction of the works. The remainder of the capital will amply provide for the expenses attending the formation of the Company, and for the management dur in construction. Carefully prepared statistics as to the actual traffic between the city of Buenos Ayres and Chascomus have been submitted to and examined by the Virectors, and show that the actual receipts on the present traffic, without any computation for the increased traffic which will inevitably follow the con struction of the railway and the development of the re sources of the country, will secure a large surplus over the guarantee. Applications for shares are to be addressed to the Directors in the annexed form ; but no application will be considered, unless accompanied by the receipt of Messrs. Glyn, Mills. and Co. for £1 per share on the nnmber of shares applied for. This sum will be returned in the event of the appli cation not being acceded to, and, if an allotment is made, it will be applied towards the deposit of £3 per share then payable.

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRIICEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors In relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter." — Dublin Medical Press.

LIVIAGSTONES EXPEDITION. The following letter has been received by the Rev. William Monk, of Cambridge, from Dr. Liv ingstone : "Her Majesty's Ship Pioneer, River Shire, Jan. 2. "My dear Mr. Monk,—l have very little inclination to enter into details concerning the commencement of the Oxford and Cambridge Mission, because I am sure that accounts have been furnished by abler hands, and I am not very partial to works of supererogation. I may say, how ever, that I am thankful in having contributed in some degree to precautions against a fate similar to that at Lin yanti ; and I think if the missionaries follow the dictates of common sense, they are . likely to enjoy good health while pursuing their noble enterprise. " It was very annoying to find that the people of Tette had come along the path followed by Dr. Kirk along the Shire to that village, and set up an extended system of slave hunting in the very-country to which the mission had come. A tribe called Ajnwn had been employed to attack the Manganj a villages, kill the men, and sell the women and children to the Portuguese lei a mere trifle in calico. Four parties, with - about 140 captives, fell into our hands, and were handed over to the bigh6p as a beginning to his flock. They were chiefly women and children ; many will probably leave and settle in the country adjacent, but the remainder, entirely free from parental control, may be trained accord ing to the will of the missionaries. In respect to these freed captives, the mission is more highly favoured than any modern one, except, perhaps, that of the Independents in Madagascar. King Radama presented a number of youths for instruction, but more for his own political ends than from respect to Christianity. In that island, however, the fruits have been unmistakeably good, for the converts have stood the test of cruel persecutions after the missionaries had left Madagascar. I earnestly hope and pray that simi lar or more abundant success may be awarded to this new effort to spread our common faith. The good Lord bless the work of their hands. "You cannot well conceive the state of disunion among the Manganja (in mercy call them Man-anja, not as we sometimes hear it Mang-ganja) ; the destruction of village after village produced no effort at union against the common foe. A message only was sent down to Chibisa, as he is be lieved to possess medicine capable of ensuring victory. The paramount chief, instead of aiding his subjects, kindly helped the slave hunters across the Shire. We found that the whole nation u ere fleeing, and hoping to stop this and the effusion of blood, went to hold a parley with the Ajawa. Unfortunately, we came to them when in the act of burn ing three villages. The bishop then offered up a fervent prayer, and with the accents of that prayer we could dis tinctly hear the wail of the dead, and the shrill scream for victory. As we advanced to their villages our assurances that we came peamably were nullified by some Manganja followers calling out " Chibisa has come ;" and very un fortunately, though I heard it distinctly, it did not strike the mind till afterwards, that we were thereby deprived of the protection of our English name. They attacked us on all sides with poisoned arr4s, and four m us k e t s, an d I f ee l very sure that the latter wdfe handled byPortuguese slaves. They certainly had the dress common among slaves at Tette, and there was a square house, such as slaves often build near the Ajawa villages. We retired slowly from the village,but this only made them bolder; they came within 50 yards of us, and it was only by recourse to our firearms that we avoided all becoming food for the vultures. lam sorry that it was necessary,for it was the first hostile encounter I have had in Africa. Had I anticipated an attack I should have used fair words and presents first. We are, however, in the slave market. We were twice robbed in the sphere of an 1. Arab dhow's slaving operation, about half way up lake Nyassa—the first loss by robbers I have sustained in the continent. Slaving is the parent of every other vice. Life is of no value in the trader's eye. A short time before we caught the first slave -hunting party. they shot two women on pretence that they were trying to loose the thongs with which they were bound; and I suspect the Ajawa, seeing us a very small body, and elated with continual success, thought it would be a clever thing to make an example of us. We had ammunition with us barely sufficient to drive them off, their attack was so unexpected. " Leaving the missionaries at a spot which to the eye looks as if 15 miles south of Mount Zomba, and which will serve till a better locality is selected, we returned to the ship, and in the beginning of August carried a boat past Murchison's Cataracts. When we launched her on the upper Shire we were virtually on the lake, though still 60 miles distant, because the river is all smooth and deep, and has a gentle current. On the 2d September we sailed into that island sea. It is surrounded with mountains, and from them rush down furious tempests with great suddenness. Tremendous swells get up in 15 or 20 minutes, and had you ever crossed the bar at Quilliraane you would know what I mean when I say that terrific rollers come across the lake with wall-like sides and hairy heads, breaking in from 7to 14 fathoms. We were once caught a mile from the shore, and could neither advance nor recede for six weary hours. The men all dreadfully sea sick did not care how soon they went down, as they were dead already.' The rollers broke either before they reached or after they had passed our anchorage. The boat behaved admirably, mounting up the steep billow s like a sea-bird, but one roller breaking on her would have ended our explora tion. After this we were less venturesome, and listened to the utterance of our seaman, John Neil, as if he had been an oracle. We sailed along the western shore and found that side to be a succession of bays. The south ern end is shaped somewhat like Italy on the map. The ankle of the boot is the narrowest part, 18 or 20 miles wide. It expands towards the north to 35, then to 50 or 60 miles. The length is over 200 miles, probably 225. The depth is very great. A fishing line found bottom in a bay at 100 fathoms or 600 feet ; but a mile outside none was felt at 116 fathoms, or 696 feet. There are several small rounded rocky islands in this lake which are covered with forests, uninhabited, and used only as fishing stations. Detached rocks jut out adjacent to these islands, and to all the rocky headlands, which will be dangerous to navigators. With our present knowledge, a ship could find anchorage only near the shore. Fish abound, and a prodigious population inhabits the shores, and they catch fish by large nets, creels, hooks, torches, or poison. Alligators, very w ell fed on fish, seldom or never molest nun, so we could bathe in the delicious cool waters whenever we chose—a great luxury not to be enjoyed in the Shire or the Zambesi. " The people were civil—no dues were levied or fines demanded ; but slaving is the only trade. Colonel Rigby, our Consul at Zanzibar, says, in a letter to Sir George Grey, that 19,000 slaves pass through the Custom-house there annually—all, or nearly all, from Nyassa or Shire ; and he adds, If it should ever be possible to place a steamer on Lake Nyassa it will cut off the chief supply of slaves to the east coast. Without knowing that gentleman's opinion, we have ordered a steamer from Glasgow in 24 parts, which we hope to carry past the Cataracts as our next work. We expect her soon, and I shall not pen a syllable to yon or anyone else till it is accomplished..l p ray to Him in whose hand are' our times' to permit me to accomplish this great service. Then a path to the sea by Rovtuna, or some river in the dominions of the Sultan of Zanzibar, for we must have an outlet to the sea uncontrolled by the Portuguese. Fancy the folly of our allies ; the Government builds a post at the mouth of the Shire, to be enriched by cotton dues, while the people of Tette do all in their power to de populate the country from which the cotton is to come. If we have our own outlet, the cotton field, now 400 miles long, will be prolonged far to the north an d west, and our own English honest poor may live on the islands and be come blessings to Africa, our own sweet home, and to Ps) and it oug h t t o b e b orne themselves. These are my ho in mind that my expedition should be dated only from the possession of the Pioneer. We were forced to return by want of food, when, as we have reason to believe, we wore i n sight of the dark mountain masses in. which Lake Nyassa ends. " A tribe of Zulus originally from the south, had made terrible havoc among the Lake people. We don't know why, as we received only one-sided statements, and never form an opinion on that sort of evidence ; but human skele tons and putrid bodies of the slain strewed the shores— ' man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn.' I met seven of these Marite or Zulus ; they be haved much as we may suppose old women of either sex would do if they fancied they had seen a ghost. In view of this tribe wandering up so far it strikes me that the more work Christian people attempt the mare their Master gives them to perform. The bishop at the Cape, with his Kaffir College, is probably fitting missi onar i es to labour muc h near er the equator th a n he ever contempl a t e d. I always rejoice to hear of e f f orts to spread our bl esse d reli g i on , no matter by whom, for I am sure that lie who is head over a ll things to His Church condescend s t o accept the hear ty, thoug h otten feeble, offering of His peopl e, an d will gu id e a ll to a glorious con summation. This college seems an ad mirable institution. tc Frequent storms rendered it 'inadvisable for us to at tempt crossing to find out all about the matter for .. our selves. It was the fi rst time I ever was forced back wi th ou t accomplishing what I had to do, but had I time tovntell you all you would see that further progress might have proved fatal to us. We returned to the uppermost cataract slung our boat to a shady tree, and walked home, having in three months travelled, in going and coming, 600 miles. Anything ' anent' a growing interest in the mission of the Church will be always welcome ; systematic efforts to dif fuse information ought to be made. Without.being particu larly prone to grumble, I think there is room for a growl at the missionaries enlisting for three or five years only. It is probably from want of knowledge of missionary work .in Africa ; very few leave Africa without wishing to come back again, so it may all turn out right at last. I hear that the Free Church of Scotland contemplates a mission out here, and the United Free Methodists are sending another mission under Dr. Krapf to the east coast. There is room for all and for more than will ever come. "Burrup, Dickenson, and Clarke came up the Shire in common country canoes, without knowing a word of the language or a bit of the way. Btu rup came first. In the dusk of the evening of Nov. 13th I discerned a canoe strng gling down a point of the pland DakanamOis. Some Eng. lish words emitted therefrom made me prick up my ears, and I said, `pull to the port side.' What side is that ?' responded Burrup. A c a pital fellow is he.

In the first quarter of a mile Sycophant increased his lead to a couple of lengths, but before arriving at the T.Y.C. post he was headed by St. Bernard, Knutsford having previously taken third place. On entering the straight St. Bernard took a clear lead, which he maintained past the stand, Sycophant being second, Kutsford third, Caledon, The Knave, and Fitz Eva following abreast; Prologue last. At the top turn, having been once round the course, Knutsford ran along side Sycophant, The Knave, and Fitz Eva, who were still in close company, but did not attempt at that period to over haul St. Bernard, who still had a clear lead. Caledon hers dropped from the front beaten, and was pulled up three quarters of a mile from home. At this point Prologue, with Millionaire, ran up to the leaders. Approaching the three-quarters of a mile post, Knutsford took up the run ning, followed by St. Bernard and Sycophant, the re mainder, with the exception of Caledon, taking close order. At the distance St. Bernard and Sycophant were beaten, and Knutsford was joined by Millionaire, The Knave, and Pembroke, and a splendid race home ensued, Knutsford ultimately winning a most exciting race by a n eck. A length separated the second and third, and Pembroke finished half a length in the rear of The Knave; Prologue was fifth, Fitz Eva sixth, St. Bernard seventh, and Sycophant eighth.

The numerous important additions which have recently been made to the Royal Regiment of Artil lery by the amalgamation of the Indian Artillery, together with the several improvements effected by the Duke of Cambridge since his appointment to the Colonelcy of the regiment, have had the effect of rendering this branch of the service superior in numerical force and efficiency to any in the world. From the returns recently prepared under autho rity of the officials at the Horse Guards, it appears that previous to the amalgamation of the Indian with the Royal Artillery the latter included 35 generals, 16 of whom were colonels-commandant ; 35 colonels, 73 lieutenant-colonels, 328 captains, 445 lieutenants, 28 officers of different ranks belonging to the Coast Brigade, 10 riding-masters, 16 pay masters, 28 quartermasters, 7 surgeon-majors, 9 surgeons, 76 assistant-surgeons, and 27 veteri nary surgeons. By the recent amalgamation these have been increased by 17 generals, 10 colonels, 32 lieutenant-colonels, 132 captains, and 161 lieutenants from the Bengal Artillery; 6 gene rals, 8 colonels, 24 lieut.-colonels, 72 captains, and 91 lieutenants, from the Madras Artillery ; and 4 generals, 7 colonels, 14 lieut.-colonels, 54 captains, and 64 lieutenants, from the Bombay Artillery. The combined force of Royal Artillery now con sists of 62 generals, 60 colonels, 143 lieut.-colonels, 586 captains, 761 lieutenants, 28 officers of the Coast Brigade, 10 riding masters, 16 paymasters, 28 quartermasters, 92 medical officers, and 27 vete rinary surgeons, the whole of whom are distributed over 30 brigades, consisting of 5 horse brigades, 12 garrison, 9 field, and 4 field and garrison brigades. The brigades consist in the aggregate of 241 bat teries, the strength of each battery numbering on an average 150 non-commissioned officers and men. Exclusive of officers the Royal Artillery now num bersh.e 36,000 men of all ranks, in addition. toofw fo l ur there is also the depot brigade, condsiestti g divisions, two of which are stationeess. 17Yoolwich,, The four one at warley, and one at divisions comprise 20 batterSiehse,ievrtihliegestablishment an additional of each battery being 200 men, the total strength number of 4,000 men, thus of the Royal Artillery to 4 sw o 000 men of all grades. Directions have been received at the head - quarters of the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham, from the War•office, for those non-commissioned officers who were selected to un d e rgo the course of training to qualify th em for instructors teer Corps to p roceed to the Ist Devon (Torquay) Engineer Volunteer Company, the Ist Cheshire (Birkenhead) Company, and the let Hampshi re (Southampton) Company. In consequence of the increased duties devolving upon the pay-sergeants of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, caused by the increase in the number of men borne on the shore strength of that branch of the service, orders have been received at head quarters, Chatham, directing the employment of eight pay-sergeants at each of the divisions of Royal Marines, instead of four, as heretofore. Yesterday a detachment of the 2d battalion of the sth Fusiliers, Consisting of 5 sergeants , 45 rank and file, 10 women, and 12 children, kit Colchester Camp and embarked at Portsmouth on board the Isabella, to join the service companies of their re giment in the Mauritius. The officers accompany ing the draught were Lieuts. Biron and 'Brow. They will be joined at Cork by Lieut. Sliegeg, in charge of a detachment of the 2d battalion, 24th Regiment, proceeding to the same destination. An announcement was yesterday received at Chatham from the Admiralty that her Majesty's steamship Himalaya, 700-horse power, will shortly be despatched to Canada, conveying the wives and children of those British officers and troops recently forwarded to Canada. The Himalaya will at the same time take out a full cargo of naval and military stores. A detachment of Royal 'Marines will also embark in the Himalaya to act as orderlies to the women and children d ur i ng the voyage, fo r which they will receive additional pay- habitants of 'aistrict of Blackhea, *eetit_nd s Lewisham, was held _at the Gymnasium, Dacro Park, Lee ) to consider the present lamentable dis tress in the cotton manufacturing counties, and adopt measures for its relief. The chair was occupied by Major-General Alexander, and those present included Gen. Jamieson, Gen. Clarke, Lieut.-Col. Hilyard, Col. Smythe, Col. Dawes, Capt. Farrar, Dr. Carr, the Revs. Messrs. Honey will, Selwyn, Battiscombe, Sims, Crackneli, The gallant chairman commenced the proceed ings by reading a letter from Mr. Parnell, of Manor House, Lee, one of the poor-law inspectors, who regretted his absence in consequence of being compelled to leave home that day for Man chester, to attend a meeting relative to the ex ietiu which was rapidly spreading, and he 'strongly appealed to his friends Biack..- heath to aidithose who were suffering from in un avoidable calamity, who in the midst of their misery had evinced p at i ence and braverT an d who, though willing to accept with gratitude the hearty charity of England, were too independent t.o beg for it. He ith - vehairman) bad conversed with ea:lw residents of that district, who thought the presmzt meeting should have been deferred until it was seen' whether the remedy already in operation was su fficient to cope with the distress. He did not concur in this view. The misery which these noble people of t•he north now endured demanded the sympathy ar\d aid of all true Christians and philanthropists. The manufacturers themselves were not to blame, but had done all they could to lessen the evil. He was recently at the residence of a nobleman, when Mr. Cobden was present, and that gentleman said he knew a manufacturer who held in hand raw cotton, by the sale of which, at present prices, he might have cleared £20,000, but he preferred rather to work his mills and thus continue employ his hands. The patience evinced by the sneering wcrkpeople of the north was beyond all praise. Should the dire distress continue they could not wonder even if some indiscreet acts were comm itted ; but the best plan was to give relief to these starving men at once. His counsel was to feed their mouths and thus stop their hands. (Cheers.) The Chairman concluded by announcing numerous large subscriptions' in aid of the fund. The Rev. J. HONEYWILL moved the first resolu tion, expressive of sympathy with the existing dis tress, and pledging the inhabitants of that district to contribute to its relief. As a clergyman of the Church of England he had resided for years in the cotton district, and could state that although in some cases the manufacturers made money like usurers, they also spent it like princes in benevolent and charitable objects. It was impossible that they could now feed the starving thousands they were unable to employ, and he trusted and believed the Christian people of England would, without any law to compel them, come forward nobly to the rescue of their deserving and unfor tunate fellow-countrymen. At a former period of great distress the workmen went about in mobs and demanded food, but nothing of that kind had yet occurred, although numbers of the unemployed had formed themselves into glee clubs, and went about the country obtaining relief in this manner, and it was generally freely accorded. Mr. INGLE, in seconding, referred to the war in America and its baneful results. It was highly creditable to the suffering population of the cotton districts that they had withdrawn large sums from the savings banks, thus proving that when they had the means they were industrious and provident. The Rev. Mr. Stars moved, and Gen. JAMIESON seconded, that subscriptions be paid in six monthly instalments. Mr. J. LLOYD moved, and the Rev. J. CRACK NELL, of Lee, seconded the appointment of an influ ential committee to carry out the objects of the meeting, and that the aid of the ministers of all de nominations be invited. Mr. PELLATT suggested that donations of old blankets, clothing, B:c., might also be made. (Cheers.) A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. FATAL CAPSIZING OF A LARGE IRON SHIP IN 711 E .RIVER. Yesterday afternoon, about half-past two o'clock, shortly before high water, a very alarming occur rence took place in the river, opposite the Shad well entrance of the London Dock, which resulted in the sinking of a large iron ship called the Ganges, Capt. Monroe, and the loss, it is feared, of several of her crew. The Ganges was a large class ship, of about 1,000 tons, and was only built last year at Sunderland. She went on a voyage to India, then took coolies from Calcutta to Trinidad, and returned home to England, and has recently discharged her cargo in the West India Dack. Her crew consisted of between 30 and 40 Lascars, which were shipped in India. Having to undergo an overhaul in Brodie's Dock, Rotherhithe, prior to being placed on a berth for Australia, she was hauled out of the West India Docks about two o'clock yesterday afternoon, and taken in tow by the United Steam Towing Com pany's steam-tug New Unity , t he ship being in charge of a waterman pilot named Osgood, who is in the habit of conducting vessels on small trips to and from the various dry docks, and proceeded safely up Limehouse-reach ; but it was noticed that she was rather unsteady, arising, it is stated, from the insuf ficient quantity of ballast that was in her. On get ting abreast of the London Dock and the entrance of the Grand Surrey Dock, near which Messrs. Brodie's dry dock is situated, the ship was being turned round to the tide, and she had got athwart the stream, when she took a heavy cant to the port side, and the wat er flowing into the port holes she g radually went ove r and sunk. Many of the Lascars were below at th e time clearing out the hold, and i t is a matter of sur p rise that the y were not all d ro wned on the ship g oin g over. T hey scrambled up on to the ri gg in g of the mast, which just kept above the su rface of the water, wh ere the un til boats came off and rescued them. they held on h ow ever, it is feared that four of the cre w sit is, lives. A pilot, named Charles 1 a lost their i w aid in preserving the hands, saw two poo r fellows s, who went off in his boat, and rendered gre a t jammed spar against a portion o f the bulwark, but in he y was One of the sufferers is unable to get at them. b sup posed to be what i s k nown Lascars—the m an as the doctor amongst the Who mites up the physic for them when un we ll , be a sharp- co l Another sufferer isrepo r t e d to oured boy, servant of the captain, and was a great favourite on board. The waterman who had charge and the mate who were on the fore castle, had a narrow escape of going down with the s hip. They had barely time to get over the bow, and were picked up by a bo at. The captain find ing that the ship was sinking jumped ov er b oar d clean of her, and eventually got ashore. As may be imagined, the occurrence created quite a sensa tion in the lower part of the pool, and swarms of boats soon flocked to the spot. The Thames police and the Thames Conservancy boat were quickly in attendance, and every precaution was taken to pro tect the navigation and to warn approaching ves sels. As the sunken ship now lies, she is not only a serious obstruction in the fairway of the river, but a hindrance to the traffic of the Lond on Docks, although ships are not prevented leaving or enter ing by the Shadwell entrance. Vigorous efforts are being made with a view of raising the ship, but owing to her size and peculiar position, it is feared that the work of lifting her will occupy several days. Her masts will have to be struck, and as it is thought that the ship will have sustained some damage, the whole affair, with the expense of rais ing, will involve a ver y heavy loss upon the owner, r he capsizing uthealaslst, ship is attributed to her not having and the action of th e fl ood The en otf ballast, tide when s he was athwart the stream.
