The weather was very heavy at the time of the shipwreck, and a gale of wind was blowing. As the ship Western Chief paned, the bows of the Surprise were well up on the rocks. The chances are that most, if not all, of the cargo will be saved. We shall shortly be in possession of further particulars,

No further information (says the same paper of the 7th) respecting the wreck of the Surprise is to hand. The strong wind prevailing during the early part of the day has been likely to take her off the pinnacle rock where she was wrecited. Ito, she has probably sunk in 11 fathoms of water,
