THE BRITISH STEAMER « ZAFIRO "

ASHORE,

For some days, there had boot a fooling of uneasiness in this colony with regard to the China and Manila Steamship Co.'s steamer Bafro, which left this port fer Amoy and Monila in the 4th inst. Nothing was heard of the vessel from the time of her saving, natil the morning of the 10th inst, when the agenta, Moser Bissell and Co., received tele gram from Amoy stating that the stemmer had gone ashore in a fog on Sunday night the 5th inshon Tong Sang, supposed to be one of the Reus. Islands about 50 miles this side of Amoy. Tha telagram also statoð that suistance had been sent from Amoy In the afternoon a sound telegram was received by theagents to the effect that a party of 20 of the Chinese passengers had made their way overland to Amcy, and they reported that the srew had had to se forearms to resist the natiras "from" plundering the parent. At the time they left the bows of the ressal were submerged. The Zuñre, which was built bat Hills over a year ago, was a steel stainer fitted with every appliance for the comfort of -passengers, and the discharge and shipment of cargo. She was under the command of Captain' B. M. Talbot.

We find that the chances of saving the steer Zafro are not regarded as hopeless, and every ef fort is to be made to get her off. The Company &... steamer Humeralia, on cher way un to Amoy, want to the stranded vessel and took off her fron- aura, passangera, and mails, conveying them to Amoy, where she arrived on Friday night the '10th inst." At the time she left the Zafiro the fatter had both her holds fall of water. A, Chi- nesa guabort with a diver on board, has been sent to her assistance:
