occupes 753 pages in small folio. The owner of this

WECK OF THE PROGRESS.—A new iron steam-
dredq, 210 tons, bearing the above name, valued at
the lige amcunt of £35,000, which left this country
a fei weeks since for Carthagena, has been totally
lost . Penrhyn Point, about two miles south of
the Euth Stock. The casualty took place on Tuesday
last, and it would appear from the captain's
repot that from the time the machine left the
Ribb on the 19th of July, in tow of a steam-tug,
it floidered about alarmingly, and was quite unmanage-
able,eas constantly sweeping her deck, and rendering
the pition of her crew, (sit in number) far from agree-
able. The steamtug not being of sufficient power to
keeper off the land, she drifted on the rocks above
mentned, where she became a complete wreck and sank
in dp water. The crew were fortunate enough to
escai in the boat, just before she struck, and reach the
tug i safety. We understand that 5110 is only imured
for 40,000.
