ARANnONING A SINkING VESSEL.

The bark Livingstone which arrived yesterday from
Dublin reports that August II, in latitude Az 20
north longitude go west she fell in with the Aus
tran bark Antoinetta, from Bona, with iron ore to
Slocovich & Co., of this city. 1t appears that on
August IL the AntOinetta encountered n strong
southeast gale. The nature of the cargo operated
against the easy working of the vessel and she
dsmasted and sprung leak. Finding that 1t was
impossible to save the vessel and that she had five
feet of water in the hold, ii was resolved to aban
don her. The crew was transferred to the NOrwe-
gian ship Orion, from Bremen for Delaware Break
water, and in snort tune afterward the disabled
vessel went down. She belonged at flume. Austria
and was owned by Andreas PaiCurich and others.
