The Wreck of the Dalhousie,

On Friday, the first day the weather permitted,
Mr Crichton, agitnt for Lloyds, and Mr Robertson,
one of the owners,. sailed from Dundee in the steam.
tug Sampson to the scene of the wreck of the Dal-
housie, which was lost at the mouth of the Frith
of Tay, on the voyage from Newcastla to Dundee,
on the 24th ult. She was found to be swamped in
deep water, leading to the impression that she had
not been filled from below, but from above. It is
thought she must have foundered in the tremendous
seas, and not run on the bank, as first Supposed.
She was about a mile and a quarter from the Fife
shore, and in sufficiently deep water to have floated.
The depth of water in which the vessel was found
was about 20 feet fore and aft and 17 in the middle,
the soundings being Wien at ebb tide; but the
shallower water around the ship showed that she
was burrowing in the sand to the depth of four or
five feet. The top of the companio❑ was barely
covered, and the door was standing open. A nook
was applied to the stair, but no bodies were found
near it. No more bodies have been floated ashore
since Tuesday last, and those hitherto got are the
bodies of the crew, or persons likely to render aid in
a storm. The corpses of the passengers are believed
to be still in the cabin or berths, and it is intended
to send down a diver to bring them up. The hull
of the ship appeared to be intact, and it is thought
that the cargo can yet be recovered and the vessel
raised. The exact number of lives lost is not cer-
tain. Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland, professional vocalists,
are believed to have had three children with them,
instead of two, as at first reported, Their luggage,
which had floated off the deck, has been recovered,
and in one of the boxes was found a nursing bottle,
leading to the belief that Mrs Cleveland had a baby
in addition to the two children entered on the books.
John Egictou, supposed to have brim No with-tyro
of his children, happily missed the train at Sunder.
land, and took the Leith vessel instead, as did also
two seamen going to Dundee. A passenger named
Tornmey has been identified. He was, it appears,
going to Dundee in search of work. He has left a
wife and seven of his nine children in Ireland. About
£1,700 or £l,BOO have been raised in Dundee for
the widows and orphans deprived of support by the
calamity.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The supply of forL;gn beasts and calves here to-day was
limited, of sheep tolerably good. The general condition of
the stock, however, was inferior.
Fresh up this morning from our own grazing districts, as
well as from Scotland. the arrivals of beasts were moderate,
and of improved quality. All good and prime breeds com-
manded a steady sale ; nevertheless the extreme rates of
last week were not supported. Inferior beasts moved off
slowly, at previous currencies. The best Scots and crosses
sold at 5s 4d to 56 61 per Ms.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire. and Northampton.
shire, we received 1,900 shorthorns, Zce., from other parts
of England 500 various breeds, from Scotland 295 Scots
and crosses, and from Ireland 300 oxen and heifers.
With sheep we were tolerably well, but not to say heavily
supplied. The quality of most breeds was very middling.
The best Duwns and half-breds sold readily, at very full
prices ; but inferior breeds were dull, at barely late rates.
The top figure was 5s 10d per Blbs.
Calves—the supply cf which was limited—commanded a
steady sale at full quotations—viz,, from 4s 4d to 5s 4d per
B!bs.
Prime small pigs were the turn dearer, with a good de-
mand, but largo hogs were very dull.

wool, by private contract, there is less activity. owing, in
some measure, to increased firmness in the money maaket.

Fer the time of year the stock of seeds was large. The

Tho heavy arrivals of East India linseed have caused a re-

The Wreck of the Dalhousie,

On Friday, the first day the weather permitted,
Mr Crichton, agent for Lloyds, and Mr Robertson,
one of the owners, sailed from Dundee in the steao.

tug Sampson to the scene of the wreck of the Dal-
housie, which was lost at the mouth of the Frith
of Tay, on the voyage from Newcastle to Dundee,
on the 24th ult. She was found to be swamped in
deep water, leading to the impression that she had
not been filled from below, but from above. It is
thought she must have foundered in the tremendous
seas, and not run on the bank, as first supposed.
She was about a mile and a quarter from the Fife
shore, and in sufficiently deep water to have floated.
The depth of water in which the vessel was found
was about 20 feet tore and aft and 17 in the middle,
the soundings being taken at ebb tide; but the
shallower water mound the ship showed that she
was burrowing in the sand to the depth of four or
five feet. The top of the companion was barely
covered, and the door was standing open. A hook
was applied to the stair, but no bodies wore found
near it. No mote bodies have been floated ashore
since Tuesday last, and those hitherto got are the
bodies of the crew, or persons likely to render aid in
a storm. The corpses of the passengers are believed
to be still in the cabin or berths, and it is intended
to send down a diver to bring them up. The hull
of the ship appeared to be intact, and it is thought
that the cargo can yet be recovered and the vessel
raised. The exact number of lives lost is not cer-
tain. Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland, professional vocalists,
are believed to have had three children with them,
instead of two, as at first reported. Their luggage,
which had floated off the deck, has been recovered,
and in one of the boxes was found a nursing bottle,
leading to the belief that Mrs Cleveland had a baby
in addition to the two children entered on the books.
John Egleton, supposed to have been lost with two
of his children, happily missed the train at Sunder-
land, and took the. Leith vessel instead, as did also
two seamen going to Dundee. A passenger named
Pornmey has been identified. He was, it appears,
going to Dundee in search of work. - He has left a
wife and seven of his nine children in Ireland,, About
£1,700 or £l,BOO have been raised in Dundee for
the widows and orphans deprived of support by the
calamity.

LONDON, MONDAY, DEC. 5, 1864.

Mr LAYARD's remarks are always worth attend-
ing to, and however much ono may differ from his
political tenets hid abilities and energy fully entitle
him to consideration and regard. On the occasion
of meeting his constituents the other evening he
delivered an address that was earnest and eloquent.
It need hardly be added that it was imbued with
much of that party spirit that has marred the pros
gross of the lion. member of late, and it abounded
in prejudice; but still it is out of the common
order, and as such goes far to redeem his party
from the charge preferred against them of being
taciturn during the recess. No one can say that
there is any shirking of questions here, nor any
shrinking from the avowal of opinions relative to
important public questims. In reminding his
bearers of the time that had elapsed since he last
addressed them, Mr LAYARD took occasion to illus-
trate his meaning by one of those anecdotes w hich
are so rife with travellers, and which, telling of
distant lands and peculiar races, never fail to im•
part interest to the details and descriptions of
speakers. At an entertainment given by a Rajah,
it was found that at certain times a person came in
and uttered something. It turned out that he said
,‘ an hour had pmsed, and he hoped the Rajah had
made good use of it, and would also make good use
of the time which was to come." There is eonae-
thing' very suggestive in the circumstance that a
year rlas elapsed since a particular duty was per.
formed, and in the instance of a member addressing
his
constituents the most volatile should be
grave
for a period, and the most unreflective think.
However lightly the burden may sit on some at
times, it must press heavily, and the feelings of
those are not to be envied who persist in putting
off the evil day of reckoning till a more convenient
opportunity. "Be wise today, 'tis madness to
defer," may well be said of them in the perverse
and capricious mood. In his remarks aboßt Den-
mark Mr LAYARD took upon himself the task of
defending Lord RUSSELL, This somewhat nu•
gracious work was not very successfully done, as

The Times' second edition, however, says :
"There is still no official intelligence from General

exaggerated reports of the destruction of railways

DENMARK.

The Osservatore Triestino states that, in case of
refusal by the Danish Cabinet, the two allied Powers
are deccided on proceeding in an inexorable (inexor-
abilmente) manner, and the Vienna Gazette dc-
clares that they will reject all the reservations and
all the conditions of Denmark, seeing that the
situation requires a clearly expressed yes cr nc.
the Press of Vienna may be believed, there is bat
lit!lo reason to exccot a favourable reply frr.ra
Copenhagen. According to that j,iurnar, •` Den-
mark would be mad to accept an armistice which
wcuid relieve her less from embarrassment then her
adversaries, who, though victorious on the field of
battle are worsted on diplomatic grounds.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per milk pm., an d
the short exchange on London is 25.271 per £1 sterling. On
,
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of I,;' 1
17s. wid. per ounce for standard gold, it appe..rs that gold is
about 1-10th per cent. dearer In London than in l'axia.
By advises fromflamburg the price of gold is 423 i per mark.
and the short exchange on London is 13.5 per £1 lit( ri;
Standard gold at the English Mir t price is, therefore, rather
more than 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Liam.
burg.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills zt
60 days' eight is IS2 per cent., and the premium on gol 1 is
about e,B per cent. At these rates there is no profit on the
importation of gold from the United States.
