AN ABANDONED VESSEL —LIVERPOOL, Friday.—A
telegraphic despatch from Queenstown reports the arrival
at that port this morning of the screw steamship Dom
Pedro, which has been cruising about in search of the
abandoned ship Arthur, timber laden for this port, and
which has been repeatedly passed sinoe the crew left her.
The Dorn Pedro was successful in her object, and tcwed
the Arthur in safety into port. As the cargo is valuable
the salvors are -likely to be handsomely rewarded.
