THE WRECK OF THE DALHOUSIE. _ _ _  On Friday, Mr—isa7tid-drig-h-i-o—n, agent for Ji3;d's at Dundee, and Captain Robertson, steamed down in the Samson tug to the wreck of the screw steamer Dalhousie. They reached the wreck a little before low water, when they found it in the position already stated, about three and a quarter miles W. half N. from No. 1 Black Buoy, and with its head lying west towards the Fife shore, from which it was about a mile and a quarter distant. The rail round the stern and the rail at the bridge were both dry, the water being just below them, and the top of the companion was barely covered. There were about twenty feet water fore and aft, and about seventeen feet at the middle of the ship, which, from the depth around, seemed to have sunk from four to five feet in the sand. As far as they could ascertain, the hull of the vessel seemed to have sustained very little injury, and her masts were standing up quite straight, but her funnel was gone. Nothing unusual was to be seen, except a hair mattress upon one of the seats on the poop deck. They put a boat-hook down the companion stairs, but did not find anything with it. All the bodies which have as yet come on shore have been those of the crew, or of persons who would have been likely to render assistance on board; and it is supposed from this, and from no bodies being observed on the deck, that the passengers had been below at the time of the disaster. The subscription in Dundee for the friends of those who were lost on the melancholy occasion now amounts to betwixt £l6OO and £l7OO, and it is expected that some hundreds will yet be raised. , On Saturday, the steam-tug Rob Roy, having on board George Watson the diver at Tayport, in connection with the North British Railway, went down the river to the wreck of the Dalhousie. By the time the tug reached the wreck, the tide was beginning to make, and a heavy sea was rolling. The diver, however, put on his apparatus and went down to the deck of the Dalhousie. He moved along the deck, but saw no bodies lying. At the stern he found the wheel much broken, and several other slight damages near the spot, confirming the impression that heavy seas following the vessel had swept over her, and that in this way she had been swamped. The tide continuing to make, and the wreck rolling heavily, the diver had great difficulty in maintaining his f f; ,N-.llg, and was consequently unable to penetrate to the cabins, where the bodies of almost all the passengers are supposed to be yet lying. On Tuesday the diver went down again to the wreck. After some difficulty he penetrated to the cabin, and discovered five bodies, which were sent up—being two women, two girls, and one boy. No traces qf any other bodies were to 1)e found. The deck on the starboard side above the 'fere-cabin had been washed away, and if any had been there they must have floated away. A. tligrongh seeTcli of the vessel was to be made yesterday.
