The Wreck of the Willie M'Laren.
Captain Salmon, accompanied by Mr. J. H. Williams, Captain Bendall, and a diver, went down to the wreck of the barquo Willie M'Laren in the Mana this morning for the purpose of making an effort to rogain possession of some of his personal offeots in tho sunken vessel. The steamer had not returned up to the time we went to press. Tho barquo is lying on her starboard bilge, and nt high wator her main yard is about five feet above tbo water. As sho is a wooden vessel, 15 yeara of age and heavily laden, it is not likely that sho can bo raised except at very great oipenHO. Since our narrativo of tho circumstances connected with tho foundering of tho vestel was written, wo learn that before she s.mk tho steam pump was also started, but in consequence of an accident it could not bo worked for any length of timo.
