Tiik Wrrck shb.v hv tub Albion. —Our shipping intelligence last week contained a paragraph to the effect that Captain Angel, of the Albion, had seen, when under closeicefed topsails, the mast of a large ship, rising from the water, in latitude 45 <> 39’, and longitude 104°. Some questions have been asked as to the propriety of the Vatala being sent in search of the wreck. But it will be seen, on reference to the map, that the locality indicated is to the south-west of Cape Leuwiu, and somewhat beyond our means of exploration. The Swan Iliver Government might send out in search of the wreck, but it is scarcely to be expected that we can do so. The place pointed out by Captain Angel as the position where he saw the mast of the sunken vessel is certainly a most extraordinary locality for a shoal to exist, as it cannot be much less than a thousand miles out at son, or nearly midway between Cape Leuwiu and Kerguelen Island.— Adelaida Observer. Nov. 22. Tiik llirg PmATKS. —The Prussian frigate Dantzig, bearing the (lag of Prince Adalbert, high ad—iral of Prussia, has had a collision with li.it!' pirates. Prince Aldaben, being desirous to see the spot where a Prussian vessel had been plundered some years before, attempted to laud in one of the ship’s boats, but on reaching the beach was tired upon and prevented from so doing. The prince then returned to the frigate, manned and armed the boars, landed and charged the Indians gallantly up a bill ; but they were completely surrounded by the pirates, and compelled to retreat to tlrcdr boats under the frigate’s guns, The prince received a ball in his thigh, bis aide-de-camp (flag lieutenant) was mortally wounded, and died soon after getting on board the frigate ; a mate of the Danizig was shot through the elbow-joint, seven men were killed, and seventeen wounded ; three of the men were left on the field, and could not be got off. The remainder of the killed were buried at Gibraltar with military honours, and the wounded removed ashore to the military hospital, Tha prince's wound was going on favourably. Her Majesty’s steam-sloop Vesuvius bad been dispatched from Gibraltar with an account of the outrage, to be presented to the proper authorities on the opposite coast.
