THE WRECKS OF THE TASSO AND NEW
YORK.

We Learn from Capt. Browne, General Agent Of the
Underwriters, who arrived in this city on Saturday
from the above wrecks that the Tasso has gone to
pieces, and the Eew-York is badly broken up that
very little can be saved from her. The Underwriters
will probably make a contract with some wrecker to
save whatever he can Of the cargo on shares. Capt
Browne looks remarkably well after his late exposure
and has nearly recovered from its effects
The PASSENGERS OF THE LroSsAIs.
Mr. Spofferh the second officer Of the Franco
American steamer Vigo, now due at this port, was
passenger on the Europa. Mr. Spoffeth went to
Havre to as.ume his duties the Vigo, but arrived
there two hours after the steamer had sailed At that
time the umor of the safety of the captain and fifteen
of the passengers Of the Lyonnais at Bordeaux had
been received at Havre six days. and up to the time
Mr. Spofferth eft there had been additional inel
peuce received in regard to the circumstances After
close examination of the French journals and dill
gent inquiry among the French mercantile houses OF
this city having correspondence with Havre, Bor.
deaux and Paris and other usually relied upon
for information our reporters were unable to gain
confirmation of the news brought by the Canada. OF
the truth Of the the public in this country must
therefore remain in doubt until the arrival of the next

rEy NrrISEyRs OF THE PACKET SHIP NETWORK.
On Friday night last three of the sailors belonging
to the packet ship New-York who were arrested at
Freehold, n j., were brought to this city by Captain
T. M. Brown, agent for the Underwriters and Also TO
ASCERTAIN what disposition is to be made with the
remaining fourteen. They are now held prisoners
without any formal commitment, and unless legal pro-
ceedings be taken Immediately, they may be set at
liberty by a writ of habeas corpus. On Tuesday night
last while Sheriff Conover of Monmouth County was
engaged arestinga party of the sailors who had just
arrived in wagons from the wreck one OF the nng'
leaders succeeded in making his escape. That night
he walked to Marlborough and the next morning took
the stage at O'Clock to Keypor, and from thence
proceeded to New-York. At the Marlborough Hotel
the topic of conversation was the wreck and the con-
duct of the sailors; he, however, did not let DC
known that he had been on board Of the New-fork.
There are still remaining in the jail at Freehold four
t.ep of the sailors; the accommodations entirely
Inadequate, as there were already quite number Oh
nrsoners confined there From four to SIX OF them are
huddled into CELL or STALL during the night, and IN
the dsy time are allowed in the hallway, with guard
TO prevent their escape. The Jack tars appear 70 be
in good spirits, and occupy their time IN chewing
tobacco and spinning yarns. Some OF them deny
having any hand in the mutny the attack upon the
captain others say that they were only searching 10
the boxes between decks for the provisions IN the
.oreroom having been rendered unfit for use by salt
water. Some of the more wreckless admit having
participated robbing the vessel and the attack upon
the captain. On Saturday afternoon the hrst mate
proceeded to Freehold to identify the sailors, and make
formal complaint against them.
