The Triumph is now breaking up. The sea last night drove her further on to the rocks, and was making clean breaches over her, while to-day it is found that the bottom is out of (he forehdld. The engine room and No. 2 compartment are fall of water; the foremast is^saggintj. Capts, Warsp and Clayton, and Mr Fraser went down last night, and made a survey. They recommend that everything that can be got out of her be taken out at once, and she be sold. This will be done.
An official enquiry is arranged to take place on Thursday next. A steamer and barge have gone down with a winch to remove the engine, threshing machines, and other packages of cargo for Southern ports.
