1HF Loss OF THE NoRTHFLEEr. A
telegraphic despatch to the Lloyds, dated
London, Jan. 30, from their agent at
Cadiz, confirms the report that it was the
Spanish steamer Murillo which ran into
and sunk the emigrant ship Northheet, off
Dnngeness Lighthouse, on the I'D INST.
The steamer, however, was not sunk, as
was at one time believed, but has arrived
at Cadlz IN safety. Her destination was
Lisbon, for which port she had cargo,
but upon entering the harbor, she was
sgnalled not to land, as there is an ex-
tradition treaty between Portugal and
Great Britain, under which the officers
would have been surrendered to the
British authorities to answer charges
brought against them. She consequently
put to sea again and proceeded to Cadiz,
as there is no extradition treaty between
Great Britain anG Spain. The Murillo
sustained no damage by the collision.
Her officers and crew will soon be exam
med at Cadiz in relation to the accident.
