NEW YORK, March 1.-The Merritt l Coast Wrecking Company's steamer Res | cue has returned from the wreck of the l Cunard steamship Oregon, and reports | that the OregoL is sunk in twenty-two | fathoms of water, twenty-five miles south east by south from Fire Island light and | eighteen miles off shore in direct line l from the Moriches. Three of her nasts are visible above water, with flag flying from her fore peak.
 The steamsphip Arizona, which has ar rived in this port, reports having seen the three masts above water Commodore Benham, of the United States Lighthouse Department, sent the tender John Rodgers at Inidnight from the station at Tompkinsyille, $. l., to the wreck of the Oregon. to examine the posi- ton of the vessel and, if it is dangerous to navigation to place gas buoy over the wreck.
 The gas buoy is of fGermanmanufact of welded iron, and contains compressed gas enough to burn for lss3 lisfJs and nights. It will show white light through Fresnel lens, aF5uJ eight feet above the surface of the sea.
 If the sea is too rough for the Rodgers to succeed. she will return and the steamer Fern will be sent to do the work It is probable that the Navy Department will be called upon to send a torpedo boat to blast the iron masts of the Oregon off close to the decks to prevent accidents to other vessels. The ship is in too deep water to permit divers to work on her successfully.
 At meeting of the passengers of the steamship Oregon, held at the Morton House, a committee was appointed to wait on the agent of the Cunard Company to gasc eFtain the views of the company re- specting the losses of baggage, etc.
