The SH1p SussE1.-This ship, which was re-
ported as taken into Tybee Cd fire, AMI which
received assistance from Savannah, was in the
following condition by the latest reports. The
Advertiser, Of Saturday morning, says:
The Board of Survey returned about half
past eleven O'Clock last night. We learn that
on reaching the ship it was decided not to Hood
her. The matches were taken oil, and 1t wss
discovered that the fire had made considerable
headway among the cargo, although there was
very little smoke arising from the hold. The
work of discharging the entire cargo was i'm
medate.y commenced. The cotton as it is
taken out is placed on board Of lighter, and
that which il on fire is exposed to stream
from the steam tire engine F. 8. Barlow. The
work Of discharging was continued throughout
last night and will not be stopped until the en-
tire cargo is taken out. Many Of the bales
which were bound with rope are broken open
and badly burnt, the ropes having burnt
through, while bales bound with IRON ties have
escaped. There is no doubt but that the en-
tire cargo will be saved, somewhat damaged
by fire and water. The fire originated under
the main hatch and took downward course,
burning through the between decks. and to-
ward the forward part Of the vessel. The main
deck, which is about four inches In thickness,
was burnt in some places to within an inch OF
the top.

SUBMARINE TREASURE VENTURES.
(ConcIuded.)

on The special circumstances of each ship.
Il is now known from practical experience
that vessels can he, aud nave been, raised
bodily from The bottom Of the sea while
il is equally we'll known that divers can
extricare and bring up valuable property
from sunken ships. Floating pontoons
have been used in a variety of ways for
the first mentioned of these purposes.
A remarkable instance of this kind took
place last year. The Wolf an iron-buiIt
maiI-steamer, was sunk by a collision in
Belfast Tough, and lay submerged in forty
feet depth of water. After considering
many plans of proceeding, Messrs Har-
land and Wolff undertook TO raise the
vessels. They constructed an immense
floating raft of iron %air-tankS, thoroughly
water-tlght. There were four of these
tanks, arranged in two pairs, with IA lateral
distance between the pairs more than
equal 10 the extreme width of the sunken
vessels. Stout cross logs of timber 10
various parts connected the whole of the
tanks lnto one float or raft, having a buo-
yant power of eight hundred and fifty fonts
more than equal to the weight of the
submerged ship. The vessels being en-
beddrd in eight feet Of mud, there was no
facility for passing chains under and
around The hull, as has been done in other
cases of shlp-rai>ing. Instead of this,
chains were hooked into the side-Iight
holes in The hull; there were fifty of these
holes, fifty chains hooked into them, and
fifty capStanS or llfting-screws on the
platforms Of the float, to lay hold of the
upper ends ofthe chains each chain being
capable Of lifting twenty-five tons. Div
ers were employed to examine the exact
position Of the ship, and to secure the
hooks into the side-light holes. These
elaborate preparations being ready, the
process of raising began. Two hundred
and fifty men were set to work at the
capstans or sctews; they worked with a
will; and in six hours the haIf-drowned
Wolf fairly made an appearance above
the surface of the water, and was tOwed
triumphantly into Belfast harbour.
Whether Colonel Gowen proposes TO
adopt some such plan as this at Vigo, is
not yet stated. Perhaps he holds himself
open TO vary his plan according to the
circumstances which each vessels may
present on examination; and perhaps he
may try to bring up the treasure without
raising the ships themselves. Certain it
is that he has raised sunken ships; and it
is on this account that his services have
been secured for the Vigo enterprise.
Those who are conversant with the details
of the Crimean War will remember that

after the battle of the Alma, and three

BARBADos.-We have had fine rains dur
ing the night and this morning, which are
just 10 time to save the young crop. 1t
was beginning 10 suffer from the attacks
of The worms rs well as from the want Of
moisture. The rain has now saturated
the earth, and if as it promises, we have
a continuance of it for several days, and
sufficient 10 fill the ponds, we shall be
upon our leg again, and in hope OF ii crop
next year. The want OF ram has much
injured The corn crop, which will not
yield more than half what was expected,
and backened the young canes, besides
throwing the laborers out Unemployment,
for there is little or no work for them on
the estates just now; the preparations
being forward, no grass to weed, and
nothing to do in the fields except mould
ing. Some few find employment on the
roads, others in their own aIlotments, but
there can be no doubt Of the privalions
they have had 10 undergo for the last six
weeks since the reaping Of the last crop.
Fortunately the weather has been cool
and pleasant for the time of the year,
and we have had abundant supplies of
breadstnfs from the American markets,
which have kept The price of food from
rising beyond the ordinary level, not
withstanding the scarcity of native pro-
visions for the last six months. The
crop has been almost shipped, the ship

Majority against the Government. 70
Earl Granville moved an adjournment,
IN order that he might consult his COL
leagues, and at a late hour the House
adjourned.
A short time after the division against
the Government in the House of Lords
had been declared, Mr.. Gladstone entered
the House Of Commons. His appearance
was the signal for a remarkable outburst
Of enthusiasm. Cheer after cheer came
from the Liberal side of The House, and
the session was entirely suspended. 1t
was some minutes before the excitement
subsidized and the House resumed its pro-
ceedings.
In the House of Commons tonight
there was a full attendance of members.
A petition praying the rejection of The
amendments TO the Irish Church bill was
presented and received with loud cheers.
Mr.. Millbank, member for the North
Riding of Yorkshire, wanted to know if it
was competent for this House 10 demand
an apology from the House of Peers for
language used by their LordshipS, ~insolent
to the Premier and insulting to the dig
nifty of the Commons.
The Speaker declared that the question
was neither a point of order nor one of
privilege. This House was o cogni-
zant of what passed in the House of Lords,
and he decided that the question could
not be entertained.
1t is rumored tonight hat Mr.. Glad
stone will withdraw the Irish Church bill,
and, as soon as the supplies have been
voted, will prorogue Parliament, in order
to introduce a bill at the Autumn session
under circumstances which will cause The
Lords to hesitate before rrjecting it.
San Francisco, Wednesday, July 21.-
Another successful trial of the air ship
"Avitor" took place to-day in the pre-
sence of members of the Press, a portion
