Single, White; and Co., sho did not enter, but turned round and proceeded to San Francisco. It was rumored that the cause of her thus golrig away was the expectation of a war between England and HnsSlay whioh would cause grain to rise in price; in England; and the’ship would thus come In for a portion ,of the golden harvest .likely to bo reaped by shipowners through the . conveyance of grain frbrit San Francisco to England.

It is intended to .have her placed on tho Fitzroy Dock as early as possible for survey, when tho extent of the injury will be easily’ ascertained. The staff of engineers and workmen who were forwarded from the A.S.N. Co.’s works have returned by the Chimborazo, she being accompanied, by Lloyd’s steamer James Comrie, which has been acting as a tender since the accident. ■ - 1
