THE STEAMER WRECKED OFF UsHANT.
NEW YORK, December 8.-The dispatch
received yesterday stating that the steam
ship which had gone ashore of the island
Of Ushant was the European from Cape
Town.. Africa, bound to Liverpool, ,efiec-
tually quoted the fears aroused in refer
Dale, agent OF the Inman Line Of steamers,
and the attaches OF his Office, felt no appre-
tensions for the safety OF the delayed ship,
and expressed some indignation that any
thing had been said in the newspapers to
give rise to a supposition that the wrecked
vessel was the City Of Berlin. To have got
off in the direction Of Ushant, they said,
the steamer must have been 300 miles and
more out of her course, and this was. to
say the least, extremely improbable. She
was yesterday only thirteen days out, and
though overdue. she had not been long
enough at sea without being heard from to
warrant the belief that anything OF serious
character had happened to her. Being
heavily laden, this may have interfered with
her usual speed. It was also barely posi-
BILE that her machinery may have been Grip
pied, and not improbable that she had
fallen in with some disabled vessel and was
towing her into port. No news from the
steamer had been received at the company's
Office last eYensng. ..a=

Is unfounded. The Porte received adyices

other portion dismissed to their homes.

AID RENDERED BY THE COMMANDANT OF THE
NORFOLK MAYNARD.
NORFOLK. December S.-Tbe commandant
OF the United States maynard at Norfolk,
Captain w. T. Truxtun, United States
Navy, did all that he could to rescue the
survivors and bring up the dead bodies Of
those who persisted in the Huron. / offered
my services to the Secretary OF the Navy,
by telegraph, to aid the commandant OF the
navy-yard, to send down through the in
| land navigation Uia the Albemarle and
| Chesapeake canal. He directed the COM
mandant to accept my services. Captain
| Truyton having informed me, requested
him to have surgeon, provisions, and
clothing, and an officer to accompany me !;
which be provided, and we left the navy
yard at s r. NJ Saturday, reaching the wreck
| at II NJ. on Sunday. All the survivors
were cared for and brought back to the
Norfolk navy-yard on Monday, with all the
dead that had appeared on the beach before
we left-eight in number-who were landed
at the naval hospital and buried with proper
military donors, &c. In the mean time or
ders-were received from the Secretary OF
the Navy to send down an officer with a
guard Of marines to patrol the beach; to
bury all the bodies, taking care to mark
them so that any friend could get them.
| InlS was zone, anu DOM Objects anu IDeD
were attended to. The guard is still
there. Parties. who came down We're
not willing to wait the mail-boat
that makes semi-weekly trips to that cQun-
try, but chartered boats at heavy expense to
20 there. OF course, the commandant Of
the yard had no authority to get.burial-
caskets for the dead, neither could he have
boat to that country all hours Of the day.
He did what he could do under lawful au-
thority. II he had sent steam-launches to
that country we should probably had to
record another loss OF life, as they are not
suitable to cross Albemarle sound except in
fair weather. Captain Guthrie, superin-
tendent of the life-saving station, lost his
life in attempting to land thirty-six hours
after the Huron went ashore. J.

The Great Wall Of China.

The great wall OF China was
measured in many places by Mr..
Unthank, an American engineer,
lately engaged on a survey for a
Chinese railway. His MEASURE
ments give the height at eighteen
feet, and a width on top of fifteen
feet. Every few hundred yards
there is q tower twenty-four feet
square, and from twenty to twenty
Eve feet high. The foundation OF
the wall is Of solid granite. Mr..
