THE STEAMSHIP QUEEN VICTORIA.
PLirmarrii, Jan. 3.
All attempts to float the steamship Queen
Victoria, which grounded yesterday in this har-
bour, have proved fruitless. The steam tugs and
dockyard lumps have just left her. The cable op
board will have to be taken out.

THE WEST INDIES.
THE SHANNON DISABLED.
PLYMOUTH, lan. S.

The West India mail steamer Trent put in here
to-day short of coals; she brings no mails. The
Trent has been employed in assisting home the
steamer Shannon, which broke down with a
November mail. She left St. Thomas on the 6th
December with the Shannon in tow, the wind
then blowing fresh. On the morning of the 17th,
as it was blowing.hard, she cast off the Shannon,
and both the vessels remained in company
under canvas signalling each other hourly
through the night, and running alongside during
the day. On the 20th, while in late 35.58 N.,
and lon. 40.58 W., it blew a strong N.W. gale,
and the vessels parted company during a heavy
squall. The Trent made signals at 10 p.m. on
the same day, but received no answer. At day-
light the Shannon was not in sight. The Trent
continued cruising, but has not since seen the
Shannon. The Trent now awaits orders. On
the 22nd December, in lat. 42.13 N., and lon.
29.39 W., she spoke the ship Indus, from Madras
for London : all well. On the Ist January she
signalled in the Channel the Hamburg brig
Johanna, steering S.W.

well.

LARGE ARRIVAL OF TEA FROM CHINA.

with 729,000 lbs. of tea.

The following appeared in our later editions of
yesterday :
WRECK AND LOSS OF 25 LIVES ON THE
GOOD WIN SANDS.

• DOVER, January 2.
Yesterday afternoon the Gurtenburg, of Hamburg,
landed the captain and crew of the barque Canton, of
Hull. This vessel experienced a heavy gale on the
13th of December. She was totally dismasted by the
gale, the boats were all lost, and the decks swept. The
Gurtenhurg picked up the crew, and after landing them
at Dover proceeded on her course. About five the same
afternoon she struck upon the Goodwin Sands, when,
with the exception of five men, all hands perished.
The Gurtenhurg was a ship of 1,000 tons burthen,
bound from New York to Hamburg, laden with cotton
and rice. When she struck there were thirty people on
board, including the pilot, only five of whom escaped.

FRANCE.
PARIS, Jan. 3.
The 3foniteur contains decrees appointing M.
Michel Chevalier grand officer, and M. Escayrao
Delanteur Commander of the Legion of Honour.
In its daily political review the Moniteur states
that financial events in foreign countries have
influenced the French money market in a manner
to be regretted, but declares the report that the
French Government is under the necessity of
having recourse to a new loan to be Without
any foundation. The Moniteur also states that
the amount of treasury bonds does riot at the
present moment exceed 75,000,000 francs.

THE AMERICAN CRISIS.
The Times quotes mercantile letters which arm
that the commercial panic was nearly over at New York
on the 18th December. The stagnation of trade and
nearly entire suspension of the merchants in the
Southern States, would, however, cause some stoppage
in New York. The failure had just been announced of
Edward Lambert & Co., with liabilities for more than
£200,000, and the liquidation was expected to be bad.
Kirkland, Chase, & Co., a large shipping house m
Baltimore, connected with the coffee trade, had also,
suspended. On the 18th of December the merchants.
of 'New York were anticipating the arrival of about
£400,000 in gold by the Atlantic and Persia, whereas
these ships took out an aggregate, it would seem. of
£769,450 including the sum transmitted by the Edin-
burgh yesterday. The total shipments of gold from
England to the United States, since the 28th of Nov., is
£1,823,394. The Iferald thinks the amount may
eventually reach £2,500,000.

It is now stated that the French squadron at Gaeta
will continue to occupy its present station till the early
part of February.
Detachments of French regiments, which were under
orders for China, have been sent to reinforce two of the
regiments in Syria.
It is remarked -that the chief political result of the
death of the King of Prussia is. that it removes the ob-
stacles which the friends of the Prince Regent have
alleged in excuse of the timidity of his general policy up
to the present time.

COKE AND sirs Wrre.—" A daughter has been born
to Coke of his second wife. The wife and he never
pulled together, and of late their wrangles have been
louder than at first. Their marriage was a scrape, their
wedded life has.been a quarrel and a jest. She disdains
to bear his name--she slams her door in his face. She
gives entertainments in Holborn from which be and his
friends are insolently shut out. Their tastes are in the
strongest degree opposed. He is penurious; she is profuse
He loves folios and a farthing candle; she lights and
revels, masques and plays. By day and night a rout of
fiddlers, dancers, 'wizards, lovers, and magicians pour
through the galleries of her great mansion looking on
thelleet. Coke "sinks in shame from the sight of all this
devilry to his den in Sergeant's-inn. Their misery
makes the sport of wits and gallants, while in their
quarrels and their unhappiness Bacon (though he has
not himself escaped the common lot—a mother-in-law)
has, nevertheless, in his own modestand tranquil home,
good reason to thank Heaven night and day for his
escape from such a wile."—From Hepworth Dixon's
" Lord Bt.con."
