Paul Benyon has identified the ship as the Tirzah.
From Lloyd's Register 1865, and a French language website of Miramichi
built ships, I think this was the wrecked vessel:

Tirzah, ship, 1506 tons, built Chatham, Miramichi, New Brunswick,
in 1864, by W. Sinclair and J. Desmond.
Owned by Kidston of Glasgow, trading 1865 Clyde to India

There was also a snow Tirzah, 239 tons, built Sunderland, 1862
and trading Blyth to India. I am assuming it was the larger ship that
was wrecked.
