hence 6th Sept. for Port Philip and Sydney, N.S.W.,
grounded, and after throwing overboard some cargo, and
discharging a portion, floated, and has returned to town to
be decked ; the vessel makes no water. The Meteor,
bound to Boston, which was put back Sept. 4, is leaky.
MOULMEIN.—The Helen, bound to Great Britain, which
grounded on the flats going down the river, has put back
leaky, and with her crew in a state of mutiny, and will
have to discharge the greater part of her cargo.
MANILLA, Aug. 10.—The Banshee, from Canton to
Sydney, struck on a reef off the Island of Mindoro, July
18, and there is little probability of her getting off; a con-
siderable part of her cargo saved—part of it much dam-
aged ; two steamers have peen sent to her assistance.
During a gale that prevailed here between July 16 and 24,
the Francis Barclay dragged, and, chains parting, she
stranded in front of the City-150 tons of cargo which

condition.

and probably a wreck; crew saved.
LAESSOE, Oct. 11.—The &limn, of and for Guernsey,
from Dantzic, which was on shore on the Copper Grounds
near this place, has disappeared since the gale of last night,
and is supposed to have broken up. The Calcutta, of and
from Apenrade for London, which ran on shore near this
place in the night of the 11th October, was towed off yes.
terday, but as her leak could not be kept under by the
pumps, she again sunk. She now lies worse than before,
and may be considered a wreck.

Aug. 25, for Dundee, and has not since been heard of.
