DARING RESCUE OF AN ABANDONED SHIP.-Among
the arrivals reported in ship news, says the
New York Commercial of Tuesday, is that of the
wrecked brig Isabel Beurmann, under circumstances
deserving of more than passing notice. The Isabel
Beurmann sailed from that port Tuesday of last
week, with a valuable general cargo, bound to Port
au Prince. On the following day the Panama Rail
roads Company's brig Caroline, Captain White
berry, also sailed from New York, bound for As
pinwall.
On Saturday morning last, at halfpast o'clock
$50 miles southeastby-south from Barnegat, the
Caroline discovered an abandoned wreck, which,
upon being boarded, proved to be the Isabel Beur-
mann, which had evidently been in violent collision
with n large ship, and was rapidly sinking. Her
port bow was completely smashed down some dis
tance below the watcr-line, her bowsprit towing
over the bows all sails clewed up. but the mansaiI
towing overheard, and she had already six feet of
water in her hold. 4 terrible scar high up on her
foremast indicated that she must have been in col
lision with large ship, and the fact that the brig $
boats were still on board, while every portable
thing of value had been removed, showed that the
crew had been taken off at leisure, probably by the
ship which had caused the damage and which,
from the force of the blow, must have suffered Sc
verey herself
Captain Whtebury Immediately set all hands at
work on the wreck, except himself and his cook,
and by drawing canvass over the bow, and dill
gently pumping she was freed from water at seven
o clock in the afternoon. The mate, Mr.. John Por-
ter, an energetic young man, then volunteered
with two seamen, to attempt the perious task ot
bringing the wreck into port. Fortunately they
have had only light variable winds most OF the
time, and by hard working at the pumps and care
full navigation they succeeded in their undertaking.
The wreck arrived in the lowerbay early this morn
ing, was taken in tow by tug and now lies at
Burling slip, a sorry sight. She has been visited
this forenoon bv numbers of nautical men all of
whom express their amazement at the daring of her
hardy rescuers- The value of the ship and cargo
as she lies is roughly estimated $4,000, upon which,
of course the highest rate of salvage will be paid
The following passengers sailed in the Isabel
Beurm nm on the 18th instant: J. D. St Herman,
Jules Villars, Miss Eliza Alexis, John Privaux.

NEWS FROM YUCATAN.

The Iucatan national bark Carmilita, which ar
rived at New York on Monday from Sisal, brought
some interesting facts relative to the termination of
the civil war and the division of the territory into
two new States.
Senior Pablo Garcia of Sisal, writing to a friend
In New York, under date of Goth of May, says
! embrace this opportunity to enclose to you two
official DEGREES, dated the 18th and 18th of this

two independent States for one of which-Cam

The terms of the arrangement between the con-
tending parties is not little curious. The former
State of 1ucatan is divided into two, one to be
called Iucata, and the other Campeachy. A league
is to exist between them under certain specified
conditions, among which are the folio wing:
The State of ucatan to carry on the war against
the Indians and Campeachy to contribute a in
money equal to one third of the entire estimate of
her own domestic expenses; change to take place
