be allowed to carry on their operatioas as fast

much in praise of this measure; so different to

of Sir John Bowring. The Imperialists wanted
to make a barrier in the river too, sinking
junks. deo., but a veto was put oo that instanter.
Commerce and navigatioa in China, Admiral
Stirling thinks, have hal barriers enough
already. Sir John Bowring is also at Canton with
the admiral. The Canton provieion market is at
present dependent on Hoag-Kong for supplies of live
stook, and such is the demand that the Peninsular
and Oriental Steam Navigation Company find it their
interest to keep steamers running, and towing boat
loads of pigs, almost every day.

PARIS, MOXDLT RIMMING.

A Vienna letter of the Bth, in the Constittstiontsel,
which bears unmistakeable marks of careful revision
at the Foreign-office, contains, I have no doubt, if
not the latest intelligence of the state of the negotia-
tionswith Germany, at least the latest views on the
subject which the French government desires to hold
out to the public. It appears from this article (or
letter, as it is in point of form), that the Clyne
pondence Prussienne, which everybody knows to be
the mouthpiece of the Berlin Ministry, lately in-
sinuated that the proposal for re-establishing
the political equilibrium in the Black See,
not by weakening the Muscovite power, but
by strengthening that of Turkey, emanated from
Austria, and not, as has been assumed in Paris, from
Prussia. This the Constitution:tit flatly contradicts,

and refers in support of the contradiction to certain I
well-known incidents of the recent negotiations.
Although the preciee tent of the protocol of Deo. 28
cannot be communicated to any power that has not
adhered to the treaty of Deo. 2, Prince Oortobakoff
wee informed confidentially that, according to the '
Ann of the parties to that treaty, the third guarantee
required from the Czar implied the destruction ofVse
Iberian military establishments, and the limito-
Isms of the Bossism naval forces in the
Mack Sao. This is confirmed by the fact that
Prince Gortehakoit in his counter-project sub-
mitted to the conference of Jan. 7, was careful to in-
troduce this capital restriction—that he only accepted
the interpretation of the third point so far as the
measures to be consequent ally taken might not
infringe upon the sovereign rights of his Imperial
master in his own dominion.. The meaning of this
wea that the Czar would never consent to rase
Sebastopol to the ground, nor to any limitation of the
number of his ships of war in the waters of the Black
Sea. The Berlin cabinet, although profaning lino-
ranoe, perfectly well knew of the Interpretation of the
third point insisted on by the three powers, fbr so
early as January sth Baron Manteuffel, in a despatch
which has been made public, hastened to prepare
the way for Priam Clortchakoff is restriction by say-
ing that although the proposals of the contracting
parties to the treaty of Deo. 2 had ostensibly for
their object the re-establishment of peace, they in
fact implied nothing lees than a reeettlement of the
public right. of Buroße. Bat farther, while in a pre-
vious despatch of Dec. 19 the Prussian Cabinet
feigned a belief that the parties to the
treaty of December found it difficult to agree upon
the sense of the four points, it was subsequently
forced to yield to evidence, and in a recent despatch,
dated Jas. 21, the following passage occurs :—" Not
only do the Western Powers appear to be
with Austria as to the precise interpretation the
four points, but their three representatives Nis le
erstipia7
have come to a confidential and with dm
Russian plenipotentiary as to the Wes
of negotiations for peace." Thus it is tie
testimony of Baron Manteuffel. that gibbet of
Vienna, after having given its fa and entire cow
sant to the interpretation of the tree pilule proposed
by the Western Powers, amoeided itself with them
to obtain the pure and simple of that in-
terpretation from the Csain tiary. Is it,
we ask, possible that Amelia at this time of
day can have proposed ,to the gabfests of
Paris and London a system altogetbse eppoeite,
which instead of annihilating the Muscovite pre.
ponderance in the Black Rea would leave it intact.

tPATAL SHIPWRECK.
The brief account which I emit on Saturday of the
lose of a steamer with all hands, near the entrance to
Dublin Bay, has unfortunately turned out only too
accurate ; and I regret to say that other disasters,
though not of the same melancholy character, have 11
resulted from the recent storm on our tOillt. The
following are the fullest details that have been col-
lected about the loss of the Wilho'-the-Wisp:
Oa iwaretiey u;-t terrible is swami demur atm twelve
o'clock, wham the bills of wind and sleet were at
their Isms; the Will-o'• the-Wisp, a seise steamer ef be-
tweet 460 and 600 teas bards', streak ea a reef shoat
yards from the main portion of Lembay Island, known
as the Barna Rock, sad aas very short time most have be-
am a total wreak. The vessel was lint observed at day-
break from the coastguard station at Fortran.. She was
thus lying with bet mute ever the side, sad appeared
to be rapidly going to pieces. The strong eta
running at the time precluded ell possibility of
amistaase, even bad say symptoms of life bees visible es
boardby ; bat Mire is rod reason for believing that an hands
had this tine perished. The lifeboat, with a mister
seshiniag the ship's papers, Seated on shore in the aura
of the day sear the property of Mr. Cobb, R.M., at Fort-
ran., but, from the fact of the oars being lashed it was toe
evident that time had not been allewrA to those en beard
to adopt measures for their escape. Portia. of the wreck,
cossisting of ears of the lower yards and a quantity of deck
planks, strewed the east frost Portrane Point to the Split
of Baldoyle, sad at a portico of the line called the Velvet
Strand, Gee of the hoards belonging to either the head or
stern of pa vessel, with her name In gilt letters spa it,
drifted mime, as did also the binnacle similarly marked, thus
leaving so desbt as to the identity of the unfortunate ship.
A bandieetprivate letters, addressed to Gee. Davidson, the
chief 'mileage. were also cast apes the beach and taken
chugs ey eagethee with the ether articles, by a detachment
coastguardsof stationed at Malaide. It was hoped that
MO wiles bad succeeded in escaping on to the main poe-
tise a the Wad; but a letter received from Lambay, when
die gale had subsided, left no doubt epee this pesat, and
the chance that any of the unfortunate survivors had drifted
bat to sea upon pieces of the wreck is rendered o:trimly
improbable by the fate that the wind, with bat momentary
variations, has ever sins* been blowing due east, and con-
meanly dead on to the land, while none of the vessels con-
steady passing near the spot have, as far as can be learned,
met with anything that could afford ground for such a sup-
position. It is hardly neosessry to add, that the statement
simulated on the alleged authority ef the master of a tar
Mat, to the effect that the funnel sad mash were still
standing on Saturday, from which the martins were rg
be hope that some of the survivors might be lashed to
the rigging, is utterly devoid of foundation. The Will-
ettlis- Wisp was a hue screw steamer, with en un-
usual length of deck, the property of a New-
castle firm, and had for some months been chartered by the
Great Southern sad Western Railway Company for the
conveyance of coals to Dublin, from Newcastle and Mary-
port, with a cargo of which description she was laden when
the fatal sceident above desco ibed befel her on her passage
to this city. She was commanded by Captain Nixon, and
had a crew of 14 in number, in addition to whom there were
at the time on board as passengers several of the mestere and
carpenters of vessels now discharging at the quays, making
altogether, we are informed, 26 souls. Oa receipt of the
melancholy intelligence, a rumour of which reached Dublin
in some manner on Friday morning, but without receiving
any authenticated corroboration until the following day,
Mr. Cochrane, of the City-quay, dispatched a telegraphic
meesags to Maryport giving information of the fact, and
making inquiries as to the time of her sailing and
the names of the persons on board. The rep Iy trams-
mined stated that the ill-feted vessel had left Mary-
pert et 2 p m., on Thursday, and would accordingly be due
in Dublin at 8 a.m. on the following day, the hoer about
which it 1. conjectured that she struek. The passengers
whom amass were known were—Captain Jackson, of the
James, of Maryport, sod his wife ; and Capt. Scott, of the
Palmer. of Maryport, both of which vessels are at present
lying in the river Liffey. A melancholy fact was added—
namely, that both these sputa* were returning to Dublin
after tamales the lutearal obsequies of their nearest rela-
tives—Captain Jambs. of his sister, and Captain Scott of
his wile. They hed reessimed behind for this purpose, and
wore sepia *air respective vs well when the se-
cideat occurred by which they rejoined in death those for
who's loss in life they were still miaowing. The came to
which the loss of the vessel are assigned are two in
nathev—sitlise that she had overrun her distance and
went as shore is the snow storm, without those on board
knowing the position fa which they wen; or that, as
frequently happens, she had Isla to until the mashie
cleared, sad the Arts haviag ban put out by a essoomiest
of heavy seam, the crew were obliged to run for %rest
pint of lead, seemserity taking chance for the of
the mast ea whisk she would be met. The format suppo-
sition is all but negatived by the fast that the two masters
who were es board sad knew every bit ef the mast, to-
gether with the captain of the steamer, maid hardly have
made so egregious ea mew as to strike ea the halward side
of the island ; while the latter is streastheand by the fact
that at the time she must have hese beating about In the
bay the gale was at its went. The question is ea% however,
which in all probability so human
nbeing les survived to
clear up, and "the fathomless depths of the vasty dap"
are opposed as a veil to human sight, to binder us from
prey to closely into the immutable designs of an all-wise
