I What became of the crew of the ship, it is hard to say at present, but the weekly mail steamer Sardinia, which arrived yesterday afternoon, paissed closie to the Shakespeare on December 22nd, in latitude 54.21 nortb, longitude 20.07 west. ' Some of her spars were then standing. She had apparently been recently abandoned. , Captain France states that the ship's hull ap peared to be sound the losof sails and spars being the only thing apparently the matter with her. The veel that could weather the storm, which pre vailed the night the Nestorian stood by the Shakespeare, he says, was worth sticking to and getting Into port. He thinks she would be a valuable prize and well worth picking up. No ranch at tha Baaqavt. , Chicago, Dec 31.
