24th August 1823. arrived at Canton, 24th January, and sailed ter
this port on 24th February 1825. They are on the Honourable

Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Smyrna, data

the Arches."
The Swallow packet sailed from Rio Janeiro en the 10th June.

The Mercury, Edwards, was totally lost in January, with fir;y
tuns of sperm oil, at New Zealand. Crew saved.
The Rinaldo packet sailed from Carthagena de Colombia 113.12
June, on her return to Jamaica and England.
The Blucher, Wattling, for 111adeira, is lying at Cuxhaven, with.
five feet water in her hold.
The John still continues on the Goodwin Sand. with her mast
cut away, and full of water, and it is feared no chance of her com og
off again. Several of the Deal boats are alongside, endeavouring
tv
save some of the cargo, and we have no doubt they will succeed, if
the weather continue moderate.
