NOTES
The bnlkheAd on East street between
| Folsom and Howard has given way in sew
eral places and is being repaired.
Among the ships reported at Apia on
| April 26 were the Danish bark LOttie. the
| Norwegian bark Yemen for Adelaide, and
| the French bark Ceeile for tho Baltic
! A dispatch from Astoria states that the
sealing schooner Lottie has been found bot
| tom up and all hands are supposed to be lost.
The American ship KenilwOrth, which has
arrived at Astoria after fast passage from
| New York, lightened $50 tons of her cargo
| before attempting to ascend the river. She
| still, however, drew too much water, and
while being t0wed up to Portland ran fast
aground near Pillar Rock, directly in the
middle Of the old ship channel. With the
moon quartering and the tides falling, il is
/ hard to say when the vessel will be floated.
| The Kenilworth is one of the ships badly
| damaged by fire at Port Costa on August 20.
| 1889. After being completely retitted and
repaired she was transferred from British
| to American owners and now flies the stars
| and stripes.
