WRECK THE SCHOONER LILIU-From the Mail
Carrier, We have received news of the wreck of this
vessel. at Laie-malo, Wednesday last. Her port
bige has been partly stove in, and the water rushes
in and out through the opening as the swell, which
is quite mild where she lays, reaches her. Weunder-
stand that, though the damage the vessel is quite
extensive, by repairing she can be got of again.
