16th November. TRANDING OF THE "CHWNBULAN," The ss Heilan, Capt. Auderson, arrived here on the morning of the 12th inst., with the sad news of the stranding of the British steamer Chanshan, Capt. Lawlor, in the Hainan Strait, which took place on the 9th or 10th inst. The Haiten reports that on her way from Hongkong

to Pukhoi tireut she met the Chumshan en- tangled on the saud bank. flying signals of distress. As the lluiten was fully loaded she could offer no other assistance but to save tho

lives of those on board the stranded vissal, which

offer was immediately accepted. For this purpose the Hurlan remained by the wreck for over five hours to wait for the shipwrecked

crow to be dragged on to her when the tide was slack, as owing to strong curront the Huilun' bout could not reach the wreek. Seven European members of the crow preferred to remain by their ship, but Capt. Lawlor requested Capt. Anderson to telegraph to the agent in Houg- kong Messrs Bradley & Co.) for assistanos, which was done immediately the Hailan arrived here. Tho Chwishan was on a voyage from Hongay to Hongkong, with coal, of which she has 2,700 tons on board. The pilot is said to have taken the vessel the wrong side of the buoy. She is now lying some three-quarters of a uile from land and between the rod busy and the shore, with big rollers washing from side to side.
