On the 16th instant, the steamer Douglas,
·which had returned here through strest of wentkee, reported that on the afternoon of the: 14th she had found the British alener Den wreaked on Great Ocknett, Bho was deserted, all ber boats gone, and bad evidently been plundered by Chinese, her cabins being gutted, and her deck chopped up with axes, all her blocks,"" roaning rigging, and cỷen the brass frames of her dead lights, baring been stolen, while about, a bundred ovpty opium cheats were knocking about the dock.
Ker stern was in 8 futbons water, and her how on the rocka, at high tide the water renched her funnel. · On Qẹ receipt of this in- telligence, tho Commissioner of Customs called `on 1.3.3, Consul, and offered to send the Turenne steamer Lingfeng to the assistance of the wreck, or crew, if they would be found, and so soon as steam conld be got up, and the ne cessary, arrangements made, he despatched thut steamer to the scene of the wreck on the night, of the 16th instant, where she has been "ever since. The auxiliary ere ateamor Cleator was also despatched on the same evening by two English firms, but as she returned on Sunday afternoon, it is doubtful whether the atronu N. gnle blowing on Friday and Bitur day permitted her, to reach Ocken. Shao, left again for the wreck on Monday, the 20th iust.
On the 17th the first mante, an engineer, and six of the crew of the Den, arrived overland frow Wen-tow, guided thence by a komunë Chinaman (the honest feller had "nobly, given his services to the poor skipwrecked wretches at $2 a bowl, and right 'merrily he handed his little counter for $16 into the Gunsalute on arrival). Their story was that at 8 pm, on the night of the 13th, during a fog, but in calos weather, the Don had ran on Ockseu ; útonce were thrown at them from above, and as they
*had no muskets, pistole (exept one revolver) or acord- on board, and only two small cunonados, rendered uectese by the submerging of their magazine, they, after a consultation, concluded to quit the ship in their four boats (when the Douglas arrived on the afternoon of the 14th, she found the steamer Se-chun, which "hoả saved some piam, &c., alongade the wreck, so bad they remained on baud, they would have bod speedy encour).
