Tun SUNKEI WRECK —At the last meeting of the
gray Trustees, it was reporte I that Mr. MeDoff, •
diver from Portsmouth, hid for i:5O removed a p rerlfl
of t!.e wreck in the clime-1, sn Inc at ln,r rui.o,t he
adpreheuded to vessels. The Mayor said Vie diver bad
been engaged on the York the lett five weeks—liiin•elf
and a man who attended to hie diving apparatus, mei a
vs set with four hands—and ho had had a considerable

loss, for ho (the Mayor) understool he paid LS pr week
for tho vessel. Too obstruction when disoover.3l, WAS
standing some seven feet above the surface of the scud,
and in course of blowing it up he fou3d other portions
of the wreck much lower then the original level of the
sand, and therefore ritual lower than the port ho was
originally to have clean I. If all that was nec,ssary
had been to remove the wreak to the level of the send,
he had done it, but in doing so he had made holes
under the wreck, and had diseased other portiqns of
the vessel, which, instead of beings smell 0n.., as was
thought, was one of about 400 tons. The part of the
vessel referred to remained there, and was doing a great
deal of injury in emiscqnenoe of the ebbing of the water,
which had formed a bank of
_sand
.six or lovers fest

high on either side of the vessel and if it was loft in its
present position the sand would emtinytylly collect
there. It hsd, therefore, b^en suvreited thyt the
wreck shoull be entirely unloved, and placed some-
where by the wide of thushsonel, whore it wool I form

• sort of embankment, like that which the Truetees
had at different times conteinplated, eithor by putting
it between or at the end of the stones deposited wicere
the old channel formerly was. If that could he done
for a small sum, it seemed to be not only removing Vie
obstruction but doing good writ» in giving greater
force to the water passing over the bar. The com•uittee
were, therefore, disposed to reoommeni that this
should be attempted. Mr. McDuff said he would slin.l
the wreck for £2o.—Mr. CL N. Penney stoical what
would be the result if the wreck were loft in its present
position.— Alderman Penney r3pliel that the kffl:l
would be to form a nuclens and make an island, so that
instead of having a wide channel there would be an
entrantse on each side of the °balm:Um', like a fork.
Mr, Western proposed, "That Ito :wort be rec:ive 1,
and that the oommittee be authorised to make the bast
possible terms they could with Mr. McDuff for the
total removal of the obstructioo, and for plaeing the
same, when hoisted. In mob a position as they may
deem advisable."—Mr. earths seoinded the resolution,
which was earned unanimously.
