The "Lord Raglan."—The ship Lord Raglan, one of the splendid ships belonging to Messrs. Wilson and Co., sailed from the Mersey on the 26th of February last, with above 300 passengers. On the 23rd of March she was spoken in lat. 2 N. lon. 22 W., and from that period to the present time nothing has been heard of her. When the last mail left Australia, the Lord Raglan had been out 157 days. The following telegram was posted in the Liverpool Underwriters' Rooms a few days since: " The captain of the ship Imperatrice Eugenie, arrived in London from Natal, reports seeing a large ship on fire, burned to the water's edge, on the 26th and 27th of March, in lat. 1 N., 26 W. The captain endeavored to reach the burning vessel, and if possible to render assistance, but he was unable to do so owing to calms." The position of the burning wreck and that which the Lord Raglan would have occupied some two or three days after she was sighted, are sufficiently near to suggest grave fears for the safety of the misssiog vessel.— European Timet.
