Colombo, 12th Jul The Bibby line Staffordshire, which arri ed yesterday, brings the lutest news of the wrecked steamer Aden. The Staffordshire passed quite close to Socotra, and there sav the vessel lying high, but certainly not dry, on the rock, for waves were washing ove her continually. She had, however, tu gone but little change from the last received accounts of her. A' previous vessel reported that she had lost her funnel, and the only additional sign of a break-up which the Staffordshire narrates is that her for had also gone. Otherwise she re before reported—perfectly straight on reck—and without any list. The offi of Staffurdshire, however, endorse previous accounts that she is a hopeless wreck, and that, in view of the reefs which' lie between her and the open sea—over which roofs she was carried apparently by the high sea running—it is utterly out of the question to tow her off.
