SAN FRANCISCO, August 26.-The
british Ship Fairlight, Capt. Bush,
from Hong Kong, bound to San Fran
cisco, was wrecked near Island Pc
Chung Hiram on June 18th. One hun
dred and forty-three Chinese passen-
gers and one European were drowned.
The ship broke up six hours after
striking and nothing was saved. 500
The Government had chartered a
steamer to send after the wrecked crew.
Hong Kong papers of July 3rd, say
the English commercial panic was felt
there injuriously. The %. S. flag shin
Hartford had arrived at Hong Kong
from Annoy, and reported that the Inn
perialists had beaten 6,5O0 rebels, caus-
ing them to Ietire.
Chinese pirates captured the Hano-
yerean schooner Sophia, and stole
$40, 600, but left the officers and crew
uniniured.
The report of the revolt on Kansuh is
confirmed. The troops in Ranchon, the
capital, took possession of the city in
the absence of the Governor General,
seized the persons of the Judge and
Treasurer,l and tried to force them to
memorihlfze the Emperor to the effect
that the troops were drawn to revolt for
want of food. This event caused great
Numbers of the nandarins to commit
suicide to prove their loyalty. Great
distress prevailed throughout the pro-
vince; wheat and macaroni, the chief
articles of diet, were held at 20 taels per
picket.
It was reported that large body OF
rebels had penetrated into the vicinity
Of Chin Kang, in the mart of the salt
districts.
1t is feared that the American schoou-
er Golden Pearl, was lost about June
Eth, between lamar and Annoy.
