Tng Loss OF THE STEAMER CoouErrE.-The
steamer CO9uette, reported some days ago as hav-
INK gone ashore off Little Egg Harbor, we are
sorry to learn will most likely be total loss.
There is an absurd dispatch In this mornings
papers 10 the effect that though the bottem is
onl of her that they hope to save her;" thing
about as easily done us to save mans life whose
head had been cut off.
The COqueue was wooden vessel built In this
city by ". ~ A. Thatcher, and her machinery
put in by Puscy, Jones " Co. She belonged to
The lorillards, of New York, and II was Intended
10 have run her between New York and this city,
she being one Of the two vessels TO be run on the
line the probable establishment of which we
noticed some time ago.
We hope that her loss will not prevent the cs-
adjustment of the proposed line, aud are told
HAT ii is hardly likely that II will do so.
