DEAL, FEB. 5.
The Merchant Shipping Company's steamer
Dartmouth, Captain Davis, from Shanghae on the
21st October, with a cargo of tea and silk, has
arrived in the Downs.

She reports that on the 11th January, in Jat'
4.58 long. 24.17, she fell in with a ship floating
bottom up, evidently a large vessel. Her back was
broken, and several sheets of copper had worked
off amidships, all the rest appeared nearly new and
quite sound. The Dartmouth passed close to
leeward of the wreck, but could not see anything
floating about to enable her to obtain any clue to
to the ill-fated vessel, and there being a strong
breeze and squalls at the time it was not deemed
prudent to lower a boat to go alongside.
