AN

NOTICE.

N Assignment of the Property, Real and Per- sonal, of the Firm of WETMORE & Co. of CANTON, FOOCHOW, and SHANGHAE, CHINA, having been duly made on the 12th July, 1856, to the undersigned, in trust for the benefit of their Creditors, and recorded in the United States Consulate at Canton: I hereby give notice to all concerned to make payment to me of all Sums due to, and to present to me any Claims against, the said Firm.

OLIVER H. PERRY. Conton, 7th August, 1856.

NOTICE.

"Torch" STEAMER, 17th July, 1856. Noon the 17th July, brisk wind from S.E.-water Port, between the undersigned, under

THE PARTNERSHIP heretofore e smooth, with a 2 to 5 knot current setting to the westward, the "Torch" passed through the Prince of Wales Channel in safety, leaving the remains of the wreck of the Phænir steamer on the Eastern Edge

of the “Ilipi Rock&,”

What accident happened, or by what cause came she there ? naturally suggested itself to me, and I examined the Charts and Directions. With the fornier as a guide, no vessel could get on shore; but by using the Bearings of the latter, a vessel could scarcely avoid it.

The Directions for Torres Straits, inner and outer routes, by Captains King and Blackwood, page 14, paragraph 5, state for our guidance, that when the summit of Goode Island bears S.W. by W., stee W. by S.; southerly for Booby Island, by which you will avoid Larpent Bank; and when you have passed it, you are clear of the Straits.

By reference to the Charts, it will be seen that if a Hvessel attempted to steer W. by S. while Goode Island bore S. Westerly, nothing could prevent her going on the Reefs; for S.W. by W., should be S. Easterly-(an error of nine points.)
