The L.,e., From the Wreck.

NORFOLK, Va, February "A press
correspondent has returned from the wreck
of the steamer Metropolis" aad reports
that the situation to-day is as follows: The
sixty-eight bodies recovered have been
bnried and records made to secure their
future Identification. The beach from a
distance five hundred yards to one mile
north Of the wreck is strewed with
DEBRIS OF THE SHIP AND CARGO.
The ship has evidently completely broken
up. Her star board bilge, from the forward
to the MAN chains drifted on the shore
somewhat compact, and containing dozen
or twenty OF the rails that formed part OF
her cargo.
THE WRECK ITSELF
is stationed where the ship grounded. The
boilers and part of the engine were visible
above the breakers and confined to the bot
tom in some way. Swaying in the surf was
a portion of the port bow and the ragged
ends of the stern and quarter deck. There
are no doubts entertained of the recovery
of the iron slowed in the lower hold, as the
ship drove well on the beach, and the wreck
now lies in about six feet of mean low
water The management on board was ad-
mirable, under the very adverse circum-
stances attending the disaster.
THE NEAREST LIFE-sAvING STATION
to the wreck was over four miles distant,
and its crew and apparatus failed TO reach
the scene until go o'clock p. H., fully five
hours after the ship was beached. The
metropolis" did not thave the necessary

with the well, arrived tonight at
IL o'clock on board the "Cygnett' They
were met by committee of citizens, headed
by the Mayor, and were well provided for,
every arrangement for their comfort hav-
ing been made. Doctor Sawtelle says that
most OF the patients are not in dangerous

was a very large South American mail on
board, consisting principally of business

we're found along the beach. 1t is under

Insnr,ncc Cnr1l many.

A suit of decided interest, not only
to the litigants engaged but to the
community generally, will be COM
menced in the Circuit Court next
Wednesday, the 23d inst. 1t is the
case of Dorrell b. Smith, a prominent
farmer living near the Kentucky
line, against the North British In
suranee Company, in which the
plaintiff seeks to recover the amount
of a policy ON his fine tobacco Fac
tory, Witch was burned several
years ago. The Company seeks to
avoid payment by some of the hun
dreds of conditions contained in that
part of every policy, printed in such
small type, and looking so insignifi-
cant as to wholly escape the atten-
ton of the applicant for insurance,
who looks merely to the substance of
theeontract, and notataIl to the vari-
Gus and deep-set traps laid by shrewd
Companies, looking to defeat of
the policy-holder should a question
of liability ever arise. Mr.. Ed.
Baxter and III. G. Merritt, Esq, APP
pear for the defense, while Messrs.
Smith & Lurton and Jno. J. West
represent the plaintiff.
