The wreckers at work on the schr. FRANCIS PALMS are making good progress and there are fair prospects that all her cargo of grain will be saved dry, as no leak has been discovered so far. The schr. STARLIGHT, used as a lighter arrived here yesterday with 4,000 bu. dry wheat from the vessel.

The vessel after discharging the balance of her cargo will be placed in drydock for repairs, which, it is stated, will not be very extensive. Only 1,000 bushels of her cargo were damaged.
