horse power, came up the Forth on Friday forenoon, and is
hugging the north meat too close got aground on a sand-
bank directly opposite BurntislanL and within a quarter of
a mile from the railway landing-pier. Every effort was
made by the officers and men on board to float her, and
assistance was volunteered by her Maiesty's cutter end
preventive boat from Burntialsnd, as also by the
railway company's bast there, but all exertions
were unsweemful, and she etill stuck fast at eight p.m. It
was expected, however, that she would get off with the
height of the ride between nine and ten o'clock on Satur-
day night. We understand that her object in vieitieg this
quarter is to receive on baud Prince Alfred, who is at pre-
sent at Balmoral, and who leaves to! join the vessel on 91'ed-
panda/. It is reported in Leith that the St. George will re-
main in the Firth about three weeks, but it is not thought
that she will he where she is all that time, but will remove
to Leith Roads or St. Margaret's ope. She is under the
command of the Hon. Captain F. P. Fgettoo. About mid-
day& tender belonging to the St. George came up opposite
Leith Pier and sent a boat sabers with and for letters, and

Sir —I have the honour to report to you the loss of the

vessel anchored outside, and in a heavy gale during the night

crew, amounting to upwards of 40 souls, only three (on.
European and two Malays) reached the shore. The Euro-
pean was a passenger bound to this port, but the two

charge,
and forwarded by first opportunity to her Mayesty'scoo
at Amery, whence the email had started on the 19th De-
cember for this destination. The Uncle Tout sank right in
the rim of the breakers' and the tops of her masts, which
were alone visible for a day or two after the catastrophe,
have now also disappeared. It is the opinion of the ship-
masters hem the there are no hopes of saving any portion
of the wreck, as the vessel must, doubtless, ere this time
have been washes to pieces aed borne to lea. I have, 80.,

caused among the officials at St. Augustine's Missionary
College, Canterbury, by the sudden disappearance of
Samuel James Lucas, the steward, which office he has
filled for tbo last six or seven years, and the ntmest con-
fidence was reposed in him. He left Canterbury on Thurs-
day List for the purpose, as he represented, of going to
Dover, but he was met the following day at Rochester by
one of the studenta, evidently making his way to the metro-
polis. It hi reported that he has embezzled moneys belong-
ing to the college to the amount of 4001. or 5001., besides

of this city. Upon the application of the principal of the
college, the Rev. Henry Bailey, a warrant has been issued
for his apprehension. His wife and two children remain in
Canterbury, and it is believed that he has taken a female
with him. He is a native of Norfolk, and is described as'
being about 45 years of age, 5 feet 8 inches in height, hair
urging grey, long thin face, a prominent nose, and general
appenince dark and untidy. He was dressed in black.
