It appears that the Haiphong was going at half-speed when the laaster occurred. At the time of writing she is high on the bank and firmly imbedded, whilst her bottom is said to have sustained considerable injury, the extent of which, however, is hard to ascertain, as those Interested are careful not to reveal too much.
The German stemmer Krim, which got ashorn whilst commiendably endeavouring to assist the Haiphong, was floated off safely without having received any apparent injury. Everything is favourable for salving the cargo of the stranded steamer, calm but somewhat foggy weather prevalling.

Judge Franqueville, amid a prolonged uproar, rebaked M. Charles de Lesseps for stating that the Government was largely responsible for the Panama Company paying enormous sums to newspapers and bankers in the way of bribes, M. de Lesseps specially instanced M. de Frey-to cinet, M. Clémenceau, and M. Floquet as sup porters of the late Baron Reinach and Dr. Comellas Herz.
M. Charles de Lesseps stated that Floquet asked for and obtained 300,000 francs from the Panama Company for distribution amongst the sewspapers which opposed the late General Boulanger. M. de Lesseps' coolness and frankness ate fa strong contrast with his previous caution, He is evidently disposed to reveal everything. He reproached, the judge for trying to shelter the Government.
It is reported that M. Aston, the absconding banker, who is implicated in the Panama cases, and who was said to have been arrested in Vienna, has been murdered in Croatia.
The Judicia! Inquiry now being made by M. Franqueville against M. Artön (may the 216 Standard) is being pushed forward actively. During the inquiry just terminated, M. Franque. ville seized a note book which had belonged to Arton, and in which several names of members of Parliament were entered as having received money from Arton. M. Franqueville did not | wish to inculpate, men solely on that testimony, 37and therefore terminated his first inquiry without 27 summoning them to the Palais de Justice. This second Inquiry is, however, directed not only 6 against Arten, but against everyone suspected of having given or received bribes. If Arton is arrested shortly, he will be confronted with the members of Parliament whose names were found in his notebook, and in certain other papers which have recently fallen Into the hands of the fadicial authorfiles. Meanwhile, M. Franque- ville is seeking corroborative evidence against the suspected members of Parliament, by domicillary searches to Paris and in the provinces.
