WRECK OF A LIVERPOOL STEAMER.—A telegram
was received in Liverpool yesterday from Cadiz, announc-
ing that on Wednesday afternoon the steamer Nile (Capt.
Horsfall), stranded off Trafalgar. The vessel was herself
full of water. The crew had failed to laud at Couil on ac-
count of the surf, and had been taken to Cadiz, where they
arrived on the 25th. The Nile was a steamer plying be-
tween Liverpool and Alexandria, and belonged to Messrs.
Moss and Co., Liverpool. All the officers and crew were
saved.

The Rev. J. Young, M.A., succeeds the Rev. J.
Keble as the vicar of Hursley, Hants.

There has been very little business transacted in
the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during
the last few days. Sugars have been in very limited
request, and no public sales have been held. Coffee
in some instances has sold at rather lower prices,
while in rice, fruit, and spices the operations have
led to no material alteration as regards values.
Tallow has been in fair demand at steady rates for
both present and foward delivery.
THE POWER OF STEAM.--The South-Western
Railway Company now possess a monster engine which
has been named the Colossus. It has been built to draw
a train of 80 loaded waggons 80 miles in three hours, each
loaded waggon weighing about 10 tons. It can drag nearly
1,000 tons from London to Southampton with almost the
speed of a bird flying.
