THE WRECKED FLORENCE TREAT. The owner of the ill-fated barque Florence Treat, which was wrecked with the loss of 20 souls in the China Seas last month, is in receipt a letter from the Rev. A. G. Goldsmith, of which tho following is an extract: — It may be some consolation to the relai tives and friends in their bereavement to know that the bodies of Mrs. Paulson and two of her poor little girls have been identified and received decent burial. Thirteen bodies have been recovered. The captain's sou, Daniel Paulson, is safe and well, but how a lad so young (he being only 10 years of age) could possibly outlive such a terrible ordeal, when strong men perished, seems almost miraoulous. The Consul is going to send little Daniel to Hongkong, and offers to do all in his power for the poor orphan lad. Everything that can be done will be done, and that right gladly, if only out of affectionnate remembrance of his beloved and respected parents, the loss of whom is deeply deplored."

FRENCH MAIL STEAMER IN A GALE. Though the French mail steamer Polynesien is 6500 tons, and can steam almost us fast as a Parliamentary engiue, she bad to slow down directly after she made the Australian coast the other day. She was a few hours out from Albany, bound to Adelaide, when it came on to blow, and as she got further abreast of the Great Australian Bight it uot only blew harder, but there was a sea the like of which the passengers had previously been strangers to. One wave hit the vessel and broke on board in a deluge. It tore away and smashed the deck-ladders; the awnings, that are so high up above the sea that one would easily believe them to be out of danger, were sent flying; and the ship rolled so that the lifeboats on the hurricaue deck, snugly lashed at a great height, .touched the sea on port and starboard sides as the great vessel loboured in the storm. When in Bass' Straits, on the run round from Melbourne the Polynesien had another variety of weather. She was about abreast of Wilson's Promontory when she ran into a bank of fog. At first it was thought she would soon be through it, but as she proceeded it grew so thick that at 10.30 p.m.she stopped altogether, and set the fog music of the ship going. Midnight saw no change. There was a dead calm, and in the 482 feet which separates the stem from the stern ot the vessel, one end of the ship was invisible from the other.
