The latest intelligence from this steamer
MohaIeHEs, L. l., Sunday Evening, July 20.
The steamer Franklin lies in the same position as
she has done the past week, except that she is
rather more hogged, or settled forward, which has
been caused from the westerly wind making some
what of q ses, which cnt the sand from under her
bow. The sand is making around her very fss.
and at low water persons get board on foot with
out getting wet
On Friday the surf boats sre employed in getting
the steam pamps from thef Nghter on board tho
steamer, all of which WAS accomplished without ac-
cident, at the came time the cargo was being dis
charged. At the discontinuance OF work, many Of
those employed on board the ship, not desiring to
get ducking. came on shore by the telegraph, all
OF whom landed in safety, seve one of the ship's
chest which stood on the beach, by which he was
baoy injured He was picked up insensible and
carried TO the tent, and thence TO the main land
where, on being examined by . physician, it was
II und that be had broken two Of his ribs He was
doing very well to day
Mr.. Sproul. agent for the Underwriters, had
his Lack badly hunt by falling the corner Of the
box, but lie was about tOGay, and l learn intends
to leave for the city tomorrow.
The report that Capt Bovine, general agent OF
The Underwriters, has had his leg broken in two
pm Is IS erroneous. lie had MS foot injured by Oc.
irg caught in the guy rope attached to the telegraph
used IN discha1ging; but he has constantly been on
the beach attending to his duties.
To-day, Sunday, as many men (who had no reli-
gious scrupies) ccnld be obtained have been con-
stantly employed in discbarging cargo; but little
progress has been made, as the Gases being wet
are so heavy that they caElot work with 40 much
expedition as was done in discharging the dry
cases.
Up to this evening about thirteen hundred packa.
ges have been discharged. of which about thou
sand have come from the ship in good order. The
surf being SO heavy, the cargo has BEEN and is be-
ing, carried across the beach, aud ghtened Off to
soops and scho0ners in the bay, three or four of
which have been loaded and sailed for New York
all OF which cargo understand is to be sent to the
public store, 80 that the merchants may obtain
their goods without delay.
The steam pumps worked to-day, and found that
the ship could be pumped out; but in consideration
Of the anchors and cables not being laid out to hold
her in her present position it was deemed prudent
to let the water remain in her. for fear the sea would
move her from her bed in the sand which she has
made.
If the weather continues good. no doubt we shall
see her again at her dock in New York, for. hopes
are entertained that she will be got of.
She brings many vsiters to the beach from miles
AROUND, and yesterday some Of the presidents from
Wall Sfeet came down here in q steamer, to see the
exact position Of the ship, and how the cargo was
being discharged.
Lighters arrived this morning - sloops Nancy
