TIIE SIR EDWARD BANKS STEAMER.--
Groat apprehensions have been entertained for the safety
of the large and powerful steam•ship Sir Edward Banks,
belonging to the General Steam Navigation Company,
and trading between London and Rotterdam. It appears
that she got upon the sands called the Slim Hook, a mile
below Goree Island, on the coast of Holland, at three
o'clock in the morning of Sunday, the 24th ult., during
very thick weather, and a severe gale from the north_
west. The passengers and the mail had been previously
landed. The vessel has settled on the sands, and all the
efforts to get her afloat again have proved unavailing. The
engines, boilers, and cabin furniture have been taken out
to lighten the steamer, and the Jolliffe and Melville steam-
ships, of the General Stearn Navigation Compat.y, have
been sent to her assistence. She has been kept in an up-
right position, and it is hoped that she will be afloat aglin
on Friday or Saturday. On the latter day there will be a
lofty tide, the moon beii then at the full, and if there is
no wind the Sir Edward Banks can be towed rff and saved,
but should another gale take place before that time it is
feared she will go to pieces.
Loss OF THE FAIRY.—We have again to re-
cord, with grateful feelings, the ready sympathy with
which our beloved Queen eaters into the afflictions of her
subjects ; Sir Henry Wheatley having received her Ma-
jesty's gracious commands to forward to Captain Hornby,
at Woolwich, the sum of 1001. for the relief of the widows
and orphans of the crew of the Fairy.
We are happy to hear that Sir. Chas. K.rnl)k'
