IMPORTS.

Long Cloths—We have-I;d—heavy importations of
these goods, and, by consequence, holders have forced
sans. These for all descriptions have been effected at
reduced rates, but especially is this noticeable in the
middling qualities of grey shirtings, which have declined
in value fully 20 cents. par piece. Dealers are fully sup-
plied, and importers hold largely. No improvement upon
prevent rates can be looked for for some time. During the
month, about 55,000 pieces of grey goods, and come
15,000 pieces of white have been sold.

THE LOSS OF THE STEAMER. PACHA.
The telegraph announcement from Marseilles of the
loss of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Pacha in the China seas, caused a most painful de-
gree cf excitement in Southampton yesterday, on ac-
count of most of her crew having relatives there. The
Pacha was an iron vessel, built by Tad, Macgregor,
and Co., of Glasgow. She was 54S tons burden, and
210 horse power, and was employed several years in
conveying the Peninsular mails. She it was who
brought home the news of the loss of the Avenger,
having been in company with that ill-fated ship be-
fore she was lost at Galita, in the Mediterranean, and
was engaged in looking after the wreck. The Pacha
left Southampton last year to run between Hong
Kong and Shangai. We have been favoured by the
Peninsular and Oriental Company with the names of
the crew of those of the Paella who are connected
with this country, and who are believed to have
been in her when she was wrecked, also where
each individual hailed from, according to the ship's
books. The following are the names:—Farquhar
Wacqueen, commander, who hailed from Ross ; W.
Tregear, Ist officer, Surrey ; R. S Burn, 21 officer,
Exeter; J. A. Bryce, 31 officer, Wigton; said to be
drowned ; N. E. Fox, surgeon, Hunts; R. 11. Fleet-
wood, Ist engineer, --; G. Penman, 2d engineer,
Fife; A. Thompson, 3d engineer, Fife; J. Wil-
loughby, boiler maker, London ; J. Higson. carpen-
ter, Preston ; It. Chaub, boatswain, Dorset; It. Orton,
head steward, Chelsea ; J. Cooper, steward, Chelsea ;
John Harper, steward, Plymouth : E. H. Dagwell,
seaman, Southampton ; A. Early, seaman, South-
ampton ; H. Wood, seaman, Deal ; J. Beckle, fire-
man, Devon ; Charles Hewlett, fireman, London ;
Geo. Mover, fireman, Southampton; C. Rose, fireman,
Hants ; R. Silverthorne, cook, Southampton ; J.
Light, ordinary seaman, Romsey ; John Black, en-
gineer's servant, Dublin ; G. A. Rogers, ordinary
seaman, Kent ; Owen C. Edmonds, apprentice, Lon-
don ; Somerville, Helsham, Isle of Man ; Henry Ran-
dall, London. Mr. Bryce, the third officer, had
served an apprenticeship to the company, and had
married in Southampton a day or two before he sailed
for China in the Pacha. The Peninsular and Oriental
Company have not lost a ship since the wreck of the
Tiber, which happened several years since. The most
distressing anxiety will prevail in Southampton until
particulars of the wreck arrive in this country to
know which of the crew have been lost and whom
saved.-111erning Paper.
