SHIPWRECK IN THE THAMES—A fine barque, called the Benlida, which has recently discharged a cargo from China in St. Katherine's Dock, was wrecked on Thursday while being towed down the river from those docks. On getting abreast of the Wappmg entrance of the London Docks, a sudden and heavy squall of wind from the southward and west- ward caught the ship, and being light, having not the least ballast in her, she took a list on the port side, and immediately went right over on her beam-ends. Fortunately her masts and yards, as they rested upon the water, gave a buoyancy to the ship, and prevented her at Once sinking. Captain Pain, the dockmaster of the London Docks, had warps led out to the capsized vessel, with a view of getting her out of the mid stream, and nearer in shore. After much exertion the ship was got to the Middlesex shore close in by Wapping Old Stairs, where she gradually filled with water. The barque now lies on her beam-ends, neces- sarily much damaged.
