Messrs. Comas and Co. received • telegram as
Friday morning list, stating that • ship was on share
at Bollard Point, of Bt. Albans Head. and lying
between that point and Swamis, and asking them to
despatch the Commodore steam tog without delay.
The steam wee at once got up, and moos sitar eight
o'clock, within an boar after receiving the telegram,
the Commodore, with all appUa.ossou board, Captain
Cosens, and Mr. B. J. Fowler, secretary of the com-
pany, proceeded to the somas of the disaster, which
Wy reached about 9.30.

cpuuter to four, then pioomded to Portamouth, in
company of on. of the dockyard togs which had also
bartai rspited for, to repair damages which she had
aril which are oonaidarable.

the British in ono of the wars between than and
the Yankees. She had left Havre an Thursday, and
how she got so near Swansea Metaled of being in mid-

years, and after going to Old Harry, has twain
