GERMAN PAPERS.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 11.—All is quiet here,
though the general discontent is increasing, and
the Sultan has great difficulty in keeping off the
storm. He seeks diversions from his cares in amuse-
ments and gymnastic exercises. The seraglio is so
metamorphosed that it resembles rather the villa of
a rich European, being furnished with a wooden
horse, a billiard table, and nine-pins. He conceives
he has made great progress in civilization, for his
dwelling is decorated a /a Francaise, and his cour-
tiers can play at billiards. He cares little for what
is said of him out of the Seraglio, and is content if
he can but introduce a new uniform. Nothing is
done to educate the people, who have become more
ignorant than ever, if possible. Nothing has any
attraction for the present generation, who are in-
sensible to their fallen grandeur, and this is but the
forerunner of their annihilation as a distinct country.
ROME, Nov. 25.—A report is again current, but
wants confirmation that the King of the French has
offered to mediate and put an end to the differences
with Don Pedro. Such a negotiation, however,
would be attended by many difficulties, without
reckoning on other causes of embarrassment with
the Government of France. It is said that Franc,
demands the suppression of many bishoprics, the

adrift. Captain Emerson, of the Etna, burnt blue signal
lights, and gave notice, when within hail, to all the vcssels

lie met, that the light ship was not at her station. By
this means there is no doubt many vessels escaped ship-
wreck, arid we understand Mr. Richardson was compli-
mented by several ship and steam vessel owners yesterday
afternoon for his very praiseworthy attention. Among the
vessels that contrived to enter the port in safety, in the
absence of the light ship, were the Mail, Bennett, from
Valparaiso, the Meg Aferrilies, Holmes, from Africa, and
the Mercury, Pearson, from Cape Breton, all ships of
great value.
Unfortunately, however, it was impo,sible to warn every
vessel that approached the port of her danger, and to this
is attributed the loss of the Lord Blayney steamer. witti
all hands on board—a fact of which there now unh ippily
remain, no doubt. That vessel left Warren Point, Newry,
about 11 o'clock on Wednesday forenoon with a valuable
cargo. Her crew consisted of Captain Stewart, and 16
hands, her burden per register being 201 tons. At her
usual rate of sailing, she would reach the station of the
light ship about 2 o'clock on Thursday morning. It is
presumed, however, that in the absence of the light ship
the captain must have imagined be was out of his course,
and must have steered for Ayr Point (north west entrance
to the Dee), supposing it to be the floating light. The
consequence was, she ran on the banks which lie in that
direction, and went to pieces, all on board bring lost. The
first intimation that was received in Liverpool of this me-
lancholy catastrophe was the following communication by
telegraph yesterday morning:—
" Telegraph-office, Dec. 13.
" A great many pigs and part of a wreck have been
washed on shore near the Point of Ayr."
It has been since ascertained that the wreck here al•
luded to was the stern of the vessel.
The next intimation was as follows i—
" The is reek that has been washed on shore near the
Point of Ayr is part of the Lord Blayney steamer."
This announceinsnt was not received till yesterday
afternoon, and shortly after the following letter was
received by Mr. Askew, the harbour-master, from Mc.
Dawson, the superintendent of the lite-bolt at the Point
of Ayr:—
'° Mr. Askew,—My dear Sir,—At dark last night a
great number of dead pigs, a horse, a great number of
sacks of flour, firkins of butter, and two dead bodies,
were washed ashore near the Point of Ayr light. I hear
that a person saw a mast of a vessel above the water yes-
terday morning under Prestetyn. Captain Stewart's
trunk and the register of the vessel have come on shore.
I am afraid the Lord Blayney steamer is lost, and all
hands on board perished ; there are, I think, 200 or :300
dead pigs on the shore, but we can scarcely tell, as it has
been so dark 111 night. Inm so tired I scarcely can write;
as soon as it is light I will go down to the shore again.
Youis respectfully,
" JOHN DAWSON."

It appears by a letter received by post, by Mr. Carleton,
of the house of Watson and Pim, the owners of the
vessel (which, from itscontaining some corrections of the
manifest of the cargo, must have been written after the
vessel sailed), that she left Warren Point en Wednesday
forenoon. The letter is dated Wednesoay, and must have
been put into the Post-office before four o'clock the same
afternoon.

It is not known whetlier any or how many passengers
were on board, but it is presumed that from the boiste.
rous state of the weather and the advanced season of the
year, there woul I not be many.
The Lord Blayney was a very fine boat, and was
built about eight years ago, by Messrs. Rathboee and Co.
of this town, under the inspection of Captain Stewart.
She was considered one of the finest models belonging to
the port, and was in excellent trite, having lately received
new hoilers, and undergone a thorough repair. She was
usuully commanded by Captain Wilson ; but Captain
Stewart, who had the William the Fourth, being a
Lieutenant in the navy, was prevented from navigating
that vessel to Portugal, on her being chartered by Dun
Pedro, and he exchanged vessels in September last with.
Captain Wilson. This was to have been his last
voyage, however, in the Lord Blayney ; his own ve,sel,
the William the Fourth, having now returned to this

country.
There appears to be little doubt that this melancholy
shipwreck has been solely owing to the absence of the
light ship. That vessel left her station early on Wednes-
day morning, and it was not till about noon yesterday that
she was towed out to her moorings. This extraordinary
delay has given rise to a great deal of discussion and ani-
madversion. Meetings of the Dock Committee were held
on the subject on Thursday and yesterday, and a sub-
committee has been appointed to investigate the matter. It
is'contended by some that the state of the weather on
Wednesday and Thursday was such as to render it a matter
of impossibility to tow out and moor the light-ship. On
the other hand, it is argued that she ought not to have left
her station so long as she had even one anchor remaining ;
and that it was perfectly possible to have replaced her on
Thursday, as the Dublin and other steamers were enabled
to ply as usual. We shall not venture to give any opinion
on the point, more especially as it is under investigation by
a sub-committee, who, we hope, will sift the matter to the
bottom.

It will be seen by the following telegraphic announce-
ment, that, in addition to the load of the Lord Blayney,
several other wrecks have taken place

Up to the present hour we have no further particulars
respecting the fate of the Lord Blayney than are de-
tailed below. The number of persons drowned remains
unascertained. The weather was bad, so there might not
be many in the cabin ; but there is a strong probability,
as the vessel was well laden with cattle, that there were
many deck passengers.
