= The freight of the Austria was excse-
dinghy valuable, and consisted for the
most part of costly silke, satins and
velvets, which were intended to supply
the winter trade.
The Austria, we may say here, was
spoken by the Arthur on the 9TH of
September, in lat 40, Ion, Ia, which
subsequently arrived at Havre.
The insurance on the vessel is about
GO. 900, and will nearly cover her loss.
She was insured in Europe, principally
n Hamburg and London. The insu-
rance on the cargo is uncertain. The
total value was supposed to have been
not less than $500, 900, and may have
been $3.50, 900, or $500. 900. The con
signees had not received a duplicate of
her manifest, but expected to do so by
the City of Washington, which arrived
late yesterday afternoon. The cargo,
however, is said to have been insured in
Europe, and over Size, 600 is supposed
to have been secured in the United
States, the principal part of which was
in Wall str eet offices.
The Austria is one of the four screw
steamers of the Hamburg line, the Other
three being the Borussio, the Saxonia
and the Hammonia. She is said to have
been one of the finest, and in proportion
to her size, one of the strongest steamers
that ever crossed the Atlantic.
