THE WRECK OF TUE ORION STEAMER.

The Admiralty have intimated to the Meson. Bums their
readiness to es-riperate with them hi endeavouring to raise
t►e Orion. Tuesday moraine a letter was received by Mr.
Georg* Burns from Captain Calla, R.N., expreseleg his
sympathy with him on the present melancholy occasion, sad
offering at the same tame his parabola' services in rescuing
the ship. Capt. Cain, we wide:stand, ha had considerable
saperi. ass in such mitten. Two telegrephic despatches
were received on Teeeday by the Bemire. Balsa, t►e Am In-
d.:tildes that the Admiralty would do all that was required,
and t►at Capt. Calla would leave that night for Piempatrick.
The second despatch was to the effect that the Admiralty
had ordered, by telegraph, the Salamander, Trident, and
Lucifer, aow atLivmpool, to proceed to Portpatriek immedi-
ately, and that divers, diviog apparatus, hawser, le., would
be mat to the scene of the wreck. These preparations, and
the eflkient memories which will ennead t►em, warraat the
pleasing prospect of the stranded vessel Wag safely raised.
The present state of the weather dose not militate against
this Wee; and hitherto, with the erteet of the funnel
being swept sway, the wreck his but little from
either wind or tide.
