AMERICAN MAILS--IRISH PACKET STATION
----------
The unprecedented rapidity with which the mails
received by the Africa were transmitted to London,
affords a signal example of what can be effected by the
Government when it has thought right to make
arrangements for the speedy communication of
intelligence, and at the same time shows what little
weight should be attached to the excuses which are
sometimes made to account for the delay to which the
public are exposed. The American despatches left
Queenstown at seven minutes past five o'clock
yesterday morning, reached Kingstown at a-quarter
past ten, and in three minutes were on board and on
their way to Holyhead, in the Ulster, which was in
readiness, with steam up. At a-quarter to three (English
time) the Ulster reached Holyhead, and at nine o'clock
last night the mails were in London, thus completing the
whole journey, including all the necessary changes, in
the almost incredibly short period of fourteen hours.
This fact establishes incontestably the great advantage
of an Irish packet station. It had never been fairly or
fully tested until circumstances made it necessary to
throw overboard every consideration of rivalry or
jealousy, and to make the most complete arrangements
for making it available.--Dublin Evening Post.

MILITARY MOVEMENTS
------
YESTERDAY another transport, the Victoria, of London,
No. 4, arrived at Queenstown in order to take on
board troops for Canada. These will consist of the 1st
battalion 15th Foot--the 17th, 2nd battalion, having
proceeded in the Muaritius, which left yesterday, and
not the former regiment as was stated ; she will embark
besides some detachments of corps already in Canada,
and leave port early next week. The Adelaide, No. 5,
now lies at Haulbowline filling up coal, and will
immediately embark 800 men, together with an
immense quantity of stores, &c., for St. John's, New
Brunswick. This is the vessel which in the early
existence of the Galway line was chartered for the
service of that Company, and at the time performed
some excellent voyages between New York and
Galway via St. John's, N.F.
------------
A DRAFT of the 15th foot arrived in Cork last night by
special train, and embarked this morning for Canada. It
consisted of 200 men, with Captain Wilkinson, and
Lieutenants M'Murray, Churchill, Kemis, and Windle.
The head quarters, under Colonel Cole, are expected
in a few days. Some companies of this regiment left
Liverpool for Canada, on Saturday, under Lieut.-Col.
Grierson.


THE "DUMBARTON."
------
THIS tiny craft, which a few weeks since put into
Queenstown to fill with coal, after a run from Glasgow,
and--with great presumption one would think from her
size--intended to steam to Bahia, left to-day in
prosecution of her voyage. When first she put to sea from
this port she was obliged to return, partially disabled, and
had to go into docks at Passage ; but, nothing daunted,
the "Dumbarton" is determined to attempt making again
for her distant port.

BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A SAILOR.--Yesterday, a sailor named
Joseph Williams, was received into the North Infirmary
with a broken leg. It appeared that he belonged to an
American barque lying at Merchant's-quay, and had
settled his accounts with the Captain preparatory to
leaving, when the mate desired him to do some piece of
work. Williams said the mate had nothing more to do with
him, as he was leaving, on which the mate desired him not
to give any black answers. The other replied that he was
not, and other words ensued, which finally resulted in the
mate seizing Williams by the head, and commencing to
beat and kick him. He then dragged him down on the
deck with such violence that his leg, which fell across a
spar, was fractured. The poor man is still in the infirmary.

THE INMAN LINE
------
THE outward bound steamer of this line yesterday--the
City of Manchester--arrived at our harbour last night
shortly after twelve o'clock, not having left her berth in
Liverpool until eight o'clock on Wednesday evening owing
to the dense fog then prevailing, which also retarded her
progress down the river Mersey for some hours. The
Manchester embarked at Queenstown twenty-two
passengers and thirteen bags of mails. The passengers
were all Irish Americans, citizenised in their adopted
country, returning to their homes in haste before the
outbreak of the anticipated war with the United States.
Excepting among this class, emigration to America no
longer continues from this port. Among the passengers
were Captain Francis Welply, 69th Irish-American
regiment, and Mr. Jeremiah Kavanagh, of San Francisco,
both of whom arrived here some time ago in charge of the
remains of T. B. MacManus. The Manchester takes also
out an immense cargo--over two thousand tons of English
goods. The passengers having been provided with
passports, and other necessary preparations having been
carefully gone through, she left immediately.

A DETERMINED suicide was yesterday reported at
Queenstown as having taken place on board the Russian
barque Ranha, which had, on her arrival from Odessa
with maize put into this port for orders. Upon enquiry the
rumours proved too true. The unhappy victim of
self-destruction was the vessel's commander, Captain
Goos ; and no other motive can be assigned for the
perpetration of the dreadful act than a melancholy almost
verging on insanity, arising from some cause as yet unkown.

LONDONDERRY, SATURDAY.--The Canadian mail s.s.
Hibernian arrived in Lough Foyle at 5 a.m., this morning.
Having received the mails and latest telegrams on board,
sailed at 6 o'clock for St. John's, N.B., all well. The
Hibernian takes out 1,000 troops to St. John's, N.B.

WRECK OF A STEAMER IN DUBLIN BAY.
KINGSTOWN, SATURDAY.--The steamer Adonis from
Belfast to London, was driven ashore at Dalkey at 2.30
a.m. She is now drifting out to sea in a sinking state.
The crew of the Adonis have gone to Dublin by the
10.30 a.m. train.
Steamer supposed to have gone down. Captain
missing. Passengers all saved.

YESTERDAY, by the arrival of the barque Statesman, at
Queenstown, intelligence was had of the abandonment of
the barque Grace, of Stranraer. The crew of the latter
vessel were taken on board the Statesman in lat. 39.15
N., long. 60.80 W., where the ill-fated ship was then fast
sinking. The wrecked crew, having been landed at
Queenstown, were immediately placed in the Sailor's
Home.

(From the New York Times.)
DEC. 31.--A despatch from Boston, received yesterday
morning, announced positively that Mason and Slidell
were to go out in the Niagara to-day, that vessel having
been detailed for the purpose of taking them by Lord
Lyons, and that the Persia, now in the St. Lawrence,
would come round to take the place of the Niagara, and
sail on the regular day. Subsequent despatches,
however, throw doubt upon the statement, but it was still
insisted that the Niagara would be in readiness to sail at
noon to-day--the agents of the Cunard line in Boston
expecting an order from Lord Lyons to take the rebel
Commissioners on board. Mr. Cunard, of this city,
however, insists that the Niagara will not leave until her
regular day, and this is probably the case, as our
Washington correspondent telegraphs that the rebel
Commissioners are not likely to go before Wednesday
of next week, the regular time of sailing. It has been
decided, after consultation between Lord Lyons and
Secretary Seward, that they will not go on board a
British man-of-war.

The Adriatic, with the Grenadier Guards, arrived
at Halifax on the 31st ult.

TOTAL WRECK OF TWO FOREIGN VESSELS IN THE CHANNEL.--On Monday
morning the captain his wife and daughter, and the crew of the Dutch
schooner Pelican, laden with wheat from Trieste to Antwerp, and which
sprung a leak and sunk in mid-Channel in the late gale, were landed at
Dover from the brig Eliza Jane of Shoreham. This vessel stood by the
Pelican until the hands were picked up ; she then brought them on to
Dover, where they will all be taken care of at the Sailors' Home, and be
forwarded to London. They all speak of the great kindness of Captain
Lalert, of the brig Eliza [sic]. The crew of the French lugger Petit Pierre,
run down and sunk and sunk by an Austrian brig, were also brought to
the Sailors' Home in an utterly destitute state. The Secretary of the
Home for Shipwrecked Sailors has received a very gratifying letter from
the French Minister of Marine, expressing the thanks of the Emperor's
Government for the efficient services rendered to the crews of thirty-five
wrecked French vessels by the Dover Sailors' Home.--London Paper.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.--The Australasian, an extra
Cunard steamer, which took out troops to Canada, arrived
here early this morning. Left New York on the 19th.

POLICE OFFICE--THIS DAY
------------
(Before Messrs. HALL, ORME, R.M. and the MAYOR.)

Mr. Julian, solicitor on behalf of a joiner named
Timothy Sullivan, appeared to recover the sum of
10s. from Capt. Wm. Maar, of the schooner Zephyr,
for work done. The facts were :--Plaintiff entered
into a contract for the above sum to repair the
bulwarks of defendant's vessel, and to find the
necessary materials. After getting the timber defendant
objected to one of the planks, whereupon plaintiff
offered to allow him to select from the timber yard
any piece he pleased, but defendant refused to
accede to anything of the sort, and would not allow
the work to be proceeded with in consequence. If he
had been allowed to do it, the work which was all
prepared would be finished by this time. Plaintiff
valued the work done by himself and his boys at
s. 8d.

The captain said he was willing to leave the case to
arbitration. The objection he made to the finishing the
contract arose from the fact that a plank long enough
was not procured by the plaintiff.

The Bench gave a decree for 0s. and costs of
court.

GALE IN THE CHANNEL--LOSS OF LIFE
----------
For the last two days it has been blowing a gale of
wind in the Channel. Vessels proceeding up and
down have the full benefit of it. It is our painful duty
to report another fearful wreck. Between three and
four o'clock yesterday, in a heavy gale, the barque
Portia, 289 tons register, outward bound, from
Liverpool to Pernambuco, laden with black pitch,
pine plank, struck on the Blackwater bank, but
worked off in a short time, and the poor devoted
crew believed themselves in comparitive safety,
which was of short duraton. She again struck and
rolled over on her beam ends. The men at once took
to the boats, but it is our melancholy duty to record
the total loss of the crew of one of the boats,
containing the mate and carpenter and seven seamen.
Nine poor fellows in all perished in their strenuous
endeavour to save themselves. The commander of
the ill-fated craft, Captain Carne, and four seamen
who were in the other boat, got ashore in safety near
Greystones, where they received every attention
from the coastguard stationed there. They were sent
on to Kingstown, where they reported the loss of
their ship to Captain Hutchinson, R.N., harbour
master, who immediately forwarded them to the
Sailors' Home. The ship belonged to Messrs.
Johnson and Peters, of Liverpool. She is breaking up
fast. The part of the coast where the above wreck
has taken place is not inappropriately designated a
"slaughter-house." The foggy weather "bell-buoys"
would be of the utmost service in warning the mariner
of his proximity to a dangerous shore.--Freeman.

DEATHS.

On the 30th of Nov. on her voyage to New
Zealand, in the ship Chile, Maria, wife of Alfred
Eccles, F.R.C.S., formerly of Tunbridge-wells, and
second daughter of the late Sir James C. Anderson,

ARRIVAL OF THE KANGAROO.
--------
THE steam-ship Kangaroo, outward bound, arrived in
the harbour this morning. She took on board 132
passengers, principally females of the humble class in
life. The Etna. homeward bound, had not arrived up to
half-past 1 o'clock to-day, but was hourly expected.

DISASTER AT SEA.
--------
PLYMOUTH, MARCH 19TH.--The ship Negociator, of
Sunderland, with coal for Genoa, ran down the Russian
brig Ahiti, on the morning of the 15th inst., about seventy

drowned. The Negociator was abandoned shortly after, in
a sinking state. The crew of both vessels were picked up,
and have just been landed here.

QUEENSTOWN SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
THE gales of the past month have now given further
evidence of their severity. Another ship put into the
harbour yesterday injured by the late storm--the
Glengarry, of St. John's, N.B., arrived from Liverpool,
with loss of fore topmast, with rigging attached, and
some further injury. Another vessel arrived during the
night seriously injured.
The ship John S. de Wolfe, Captain Bradshaw, of
St. John's, N.B., put into the harbour yesterday in a
leaky state. The ship was seven days out from
Liverpool with a general cargo for St. John's.
A large ship called the Southerner arrived in tow on
Thursday evening from Liverpool, and concerning her
much conversation has passed as it is rumoured her
intended destination is within the forbidden waters of
the Southern States. She is reported as being from
Liverpool, with a "general cargo," and, furthermore,
talk has it that the Southerner will at this port add to
the quantity and variety of her freight some 50 or 60
tons of powder.
Arrangements have been completed for the running
of another line of screw steamers between
Queenstown and America--making Quebec the point
on the other side. The vessels intended so to be
despatched are the St. George, St. Andrew, and
Damascus, belonging to the Montreal Ocean Steam
Ship Company. The local management will be in the
hands of Messrs. James Scott and Co., and the first
vessel will leave on the 23rd instant.

QUEENSTOWN PETTY SESSIONS.
IN a special court held on Saturday by Captain MARTIN and
Mr. T. H. TARRANT,
Julia Reardon was brought up, having been arrested by
Sub-Constable Mahony when about embarking for
America in the City of Washington, on Thursday, charged
with absconding from her home near Mallow with a sum of
£14 and some articles of clothing, the property of her
aunt, with whom she resided.
The case having been sufficiently proved, the prisoner
was ordered to stand her trial at the next Quarter Sessions.


THE GREAT EASTERN.--LIVERPOOL, MAY 28.--To-day
intelligence was received in Liverpool that the Great
Eastern had arrived out at New York on the morning of
the 17th instant, after a very rapid passage of nine days five
hours, she having left Milford late in the evening of the 7th
instant. As the big ship was to sail from New York, direct
for Liverpool, on the 31st of may (Saturday next), she may
be looked for here on the evening of Monday, the 9th, or
early on the following morning.



MESSAGE FROM THE DEEP--THE STEAMER
TEUTONIA.
------------
DINGLE, SATURDAY EVENING.--A few days ago a bottle,
which was well corked, has been washed ashore in a cliff
not far from this town, and in the bottle there was a piece
of paper, 8 1/2 inches in length and five broad, and at the
top in printed letters there is the following :--

"STEAMER TEUTONIA,
"Hamburg American Packet, Actien Gesellichaft."

From that down, sixteen lines, are all in writing, but in
[illegible] English language. Indeed it appears as if it were a
passenger's passage ticket.--Dingle Correspondent

QUEENSTOWN SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
------------------

THE steamtug "Pilot" of Galway, Captain M'Intyre, put
into the harbour on Saturday to fill up with coal on her
way to Dublin. Having been duly supplied she left for
her destination, there to undergo some repairs.

The screw steamer "Despatch," of and from
Liverpool, arrived on Saturday for repairs. She is
bound to Nassau with a general cargo, which, it is
said, is intended to be finally discharged at some of the
blockaded ports of the Southern States.

SEIZURE OF BRITISH SHIPPING BY FEDERAL
CRUISERS.
Intelligence was received yesterday of the capture by a
Federal ship of the English steamer Circassian, of
Savannah, bound to that port from Bordeaux, laden with
wine, brandy, coffee, and provisions, having no munitions
or contraband of war of any description.
The Shipping Gazetts says :--"The seizure of the
Circassian, pursuing, as we are informed, a lawful
commerce in neutral waters, following so closely on the
capture of the Bermuda, discovers a disposition to deal
harshly with British shipping, which must be checked with
a strong hand ; otherwise maritime commerce will be
unsafe for British shipping throughout the length and
breadth of the Atlantic."

AMERICA.
QUEENSTOWN, WEDNESDAY.--The Liverpool, New York,
and Philadelphia Co's, s.s. Edinburgh, from New York on
24th ult., arrived in this harbour this morning. She brings
the United States mails, 86 cabin and 153 steerage
passengers. Having landed the mails, 20 cabin and 30
steerage passengers, she proceeded immediately for
Liverpool--all well.
On May 26th the Edinburgh spoke the barque Fisher,
bound west. On the 26th the ship Robert Spears bound
east. On the 30th, the R.M.S. Persia. On June 1st she
signalled the ships Trafalgar and Gorilla of Liverpool,

ARRIVAL OF THE "TUSCARORA."
------------
THE United States steam war frigate Tuscarora arrived
yesterday evening at Queenstown, and anchored in the
man-of-war roads. This vessel, which is very well known
from her surveillance over the Confederate steamer
Nashville in the Southampton waters, lies too far out to
be well judged from the shore at Queenstown ; but she
looks graceful, and would be guessed by her shape to be
fast. Her armament is small, consisting of six Armstrong
guns, and some few others. Mr. DEVINE, the American
consul, went on board yesterday. To-day the officers of
the ship waited on Archbishop HUGHES in Cork. The
future movements of the ship, which have excited
considerable speculation, are unknown. In Southampton
it was supposed that she had left in pursuit of the British
steamer Merrimac, which had left in order to run the
blockade with stores and arms for the Confederates. It is
probable that she is bound west, as she took in a
considerable quantity of coal on yesterday.

Hughes, Archbishop of New York ; the Right Rev. Dr.
Woods, Bishop of Philadelphia ; the Right Rev. Dr.
Purcell, Bishop of Cincinnatti ; and the Right Rev. Dr.
M'Clusky, Bishop of Albany. Their lordships were
accompanied to the pier by the Right Rev. Dr. Delany and
some of our most respected citizens, and the crowd of

with its venerated freight. The Scotia was visited during the
day by Mr. Justice Keogh, Mr. Clarke, Q.C., and several
other gentlemen belonging to the Munster bar.

EMIGRATION TO AMERICA.
------------
KILLARNEY, THURSDAY.--Notwithstanding the disturbed state
of American affairs, the tide of emigration from all parts of
Kerry still continues to flow as rapidly as ever. Yesterday
morning might have vividly brought back the spectator's
recollection of the painful scenes witnessed in 1847. Since then
such a large number of well-to-do class of emigrants have not
taken their departure for America as I had occasion to witness
on yesterday ; they comprised the farming classes and several
domestic servants, the entire presenting a fine healthy
appearance. They filled by themselves one division of a third-
class carriage. The leave-taking from their friends was indeed
most affecting, and could not be viewed unmoved by any one.
They were accompanied by Mr. Daniel Shea, local agent for
the Inman line, to Queenstown, who was untiring in affording
them every comfort in his power.--Correspondent

American steamer, Union Star, has been blown up ;
several lives lost.


THE TUSCARORA.
BELFAST, MONDAY EVENING.--This evening, about 7
o'clock, the Tuscarora arrived in Belfast Lough, and
anchored off Greypoint.


EMIGRATION TO CANADA.
----------
ABOUT 260 emigrants left Queenstown for Canada
yesterday by the John Bell, one of the steamers
belonging to the Montreal Ocean Company. Ninety- five
of them came from Glasgow in the vessel, and the
remainder joined here. The Irish emigrants were almost
exclusively of the labouring and small farming classes,
and seemed a hard-working, industrious set of people
--in fact, just those who would be likely to make their
way in the land they are going to. They were of all ages
--from mere children to men and women far advanced
in life, whose last thoughts one would suppose
emigration to be. Among them were a good many men
of large families, but the majority were able-bodied
single young men and women. Most of the emigrants
came from the midland counties, and some few from
kerry and the western part of this county. They arrived
in Queenstown bewteen four and five o'clock, and so
speedy was the work of embarkation gone through--
under the superintendence of the local agents, Messrs.
SCOTT and Co. and Mr. D. BRENNAN--that the ship was
able to leave about seven o'clock. The John Bell had a
remarkably good passage over from Glasgow ; she
made the run across in thirty-six hours, though detained
some time outside the harbour waiting for a pilot. The
weather was perfectly calm, and the water
extraordinarily smooth.


THE GREAT EASTERN.
--------
BERE ISLAND, THREE o'CLOCK, SUNDAY, AUG. 17TH.--
Great Eastern passing in sight of land, westwards, under
steam.


THE CAPTURE OF THE MEMPHIS.
A serious loss to the Underwriters has occurred in the
capture of the British steamer Memphis, on the 31st ult.,
in an attempt to run the Charleston blockade, with a
valuable cargo. The risk had been heavily done at 40
guineas premium.


COLLISION IN THE LIFFEY.--As the Kingstown
steamboat, filled with passengers, was starting from the
Custom-house quay on her trip to Kingstown between
four and five o'clock p.m., yesterday, she came into
violent contact with the other pleasure boat, the Pilot,
which was lying at her moorings and also had a number
of passengers on board. The accident was not attended
with any serious consequences, but some slight injuries
were sustained by both vessels. A second collision also
occurred at the same place between the same vessels
about half-past seven o'clock. On the latter occasion the
Pilot sustained some slight damage.--Saunders.


WRECKS.--During the past week fifteen vessels were
reported lost, making the total number of wrecks for the
present year 1,117.

THE TUSCARORA.
----------
(From the Daily Express of this day.)

The suspicions which we expressed about the Tuscarora
have not, it seems, been unfounded. An unexpected
discovery was made in Belfast on Tuesday which accounts
for her restless and furtive movements. It is now evident
that the authorities had reason to believe that she came into
the Irish ports with some sinister object, and the Ajax was
told off, like an able-bodied policeman for special duty, to
watch her. In his presence she behaved irreprochably, as
characters "well known to the police" generally do when
they see the constable near, or perhaps get a peep at his
baton peeping out of his pocket like an Armstrong gun at a
port hole. Watching her opportunity, however, she slipped
away from Kingstown, and, finding none of the force there
ready to arrest her, she proceeded to take away
surreptitiously a quantity of coal, which she had been, until
then, vainly trying to obtain. She was detected before she
had time to carry it off, and was ordered to leave the port
within 24 hours. Now, seriously, this is an infraction of the
law of neutral Powers, which requires the energetic
interference of the Government. A vessel of war is only
entitled once in three months to coal at a neutral port, and
that for the purpose of proceeding home. The Tuscarora
has obtained coal at a British port within the last three
months, but instead of returning to America, has been lying
in wait for Confederate ships. This is a gross violation of
the neutrality laws, and is the less to be tolerated in the
case of this vessel, which has been especially troublesome
and insolent--setting defiance to the regulations of the
British Government for the strict maintenance of neutrality,
and yet loudly denouncing the Government, even in our
own ports, for unfair and impartial dealing. There is a
practical lesson to be drawn from this transgression, for, as
we have already intimated, it shows the necessity for
keeping a sufficient naval force stationed at the principal
harbours, to enforce obedience to British law ; and the
people of Belfast have just reason to complain that such an
important port should be left unprotected.

The American Federal frigate Tuscarora arrived on
Monday morning at Plymouth and anchored in the
Sound--last near Falmouth, where she put in on
Saturday afternoon, and having been warned by the
collector of Customs there that she could not be
allowed to remain more than 24 hours, left again on
Sunday afternoon. The Tuscarora is alleged to be
leaky. Her captain applied this afternoon to the Port
Admiral for permission to remain at Plymouth to
repair damages, and was referred to the Lords of the
Admiralty, to whom the request was telegraphed.
Their Lordships declined assuming the responsibility
of granting the request, and referred the captain to
Her Majesty's Ministers. It is said that the captain
declined applying to that quarter.

YESTERDAY, the St. George, s.s., one of the line of the
vessels belonging to the Montreal Ocean Steamship
Company, put into Queenstown for the purpose of
receiving on board passengers for Quebec, to which port
she was proceeding. She had on board over eighty
passengers, which she had taken in at Glasgow, and about
twenty of them travelled first class. The remaining number
were composed of the artisan and agricultural, almost
exclusively Scotch. At four o'clock, the passengers,
eighty-three in number, for which the St. George had put
in, were received on board, and at six o'clock the vessel
steamed out of harbour. The St. George is a first-class
passenger vessel, possessing the two prime qualities of
quickness and steadiness, with every possible
accomodation, and commanded by officers both
courteous and attentive.

FATAL ACCIDENT IN WATERFORD HARBOUR.
As the Tuskar steam-ship, of and from Glasgow for

QUEENSTOWN SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE
------
A SPLENDID ship, the Mac Duff, of Banff, 1138 tons,
arrived in the harbour yesterday evening, short of
provisions, and windbound. The Mac Duff comes from
Bombay, with a large cargo of cotton and seeds ; she is
bound for Liverpool, whither she proceeds as soon as
the wind, now easterly, will suit. The passage was
made from Bombay in 142 days, and when seven days
out the captain (Blacklock) died suddenly, when the
command of the vessel devolved on the chief officer,
Mr. Dickinson, by whom she was safely navigated to
Queenstown.
The case of the Cattarina V., an Austrian ship,
brought into port here by the mate of the ship
Mornington, has been finally settled. The circumstances
of the voyage have already been published ; the mate
and the captain had died, and the crew, unable to
navigate the vessel, obtained the services of the mate of
the Mornington, then passing, by whom the Cattarina
V. made Queenstown. The arrangements are :--The
owners of the latter vessel are to pay the owners of the
Mornington £1,000, and defray all costs. Possession
was accordingly given up to-day by Mr. R. O'Brien,
and the vessel proceeds immediately to Bristol.

ERRATUM.--In our obituary column of yesterday an
announcement was copied from a Dublin
contemporary, of the death of Mr. PATRICK G. WALSH,
which stated the rank of the deceased as Chief Officer
of the Roscoe. This was erroneous, and was copied
by accident into our journal, in which the correct
statement had formerly appeared, and which recorded
the death of Mr. P. G. WALSH "Captain of the ship
Roscoe." The deceased was a fine young man, aged
25 years, who was selected by the owners of that
vessel to run the blockade with her. Since his death
Captain WALSH'S father, Mr. O'B. WALSH, of
Midleton, received a letter from the owners expressive
of the regret they experienced at his loss.

ANOTHER FATAL COLLISION AT SEA.--On Sunday the
brig Elizabeth (coal laden), Captain Robertson,
belonging to Sheilds, left the Tyne for London, and
between eleven and twelve o'clock on Thursday
night, when some three miles to the eastward of the
sunk light-ship in the East Swin, off the Essex coast, a
large screw steamer was observed about a half a mile
ahead. The weather was quite clear, and the moon
was out, the wind blowing fresh, E.N.E. It is said that
the steamer was hailed, but no answer was heard.
The brig's helm was put aport, and what course the
steamer took has not correctly transpired, but she ran
into the collier's port bow with considerable force
and cut her down. The names of those who are
reported to have perished are John Thomas, William
Smith, John James, Robert Smith, and Charles
Jackson (boy). The captain is stated to have
succeeded in getting on board the steamer, which is
described to have gone on, and her name as yet has
not been communicated. James Wilson, the mate,
was picked up by a Dutch galliot, which landed him
at Gravesend, and through whom particulars of the
occurrence have been made public.

DESTRUCTION OF THE BRITISH SHIP BLANCHE
BY THE FEDERALS.
The Times publishes details from an American source. The
case of outrage is most complete. Everything--ship, flag,
destination, place of capture, burning, all were neutral, and
more international rights were violated in broad daylight than
a casuist would have thought of combining in a single
hypothetical case.
The Times adds, we may be sure that Lord Russell has
taken proper steps to obtain satisfaction for the insult to the
British flag, and the injury done to British interests. Captain
Smith estimates the loss at some £400,000.

shook them out, and hoisted maintop-gallant yards.
Dusk came on ; very squally from N.W., and the
Alabama took in her topsails, and lay to under fore and

STOPPAGE OF A CONTRABAND VESSEL AT CORK.--The
Liverpool Journal of Commerce has received information
that the British steamer Antona, taking ammunition on board
at Cork, has been stopped by order of the British
Government on the ground that the supplies of powder, &c.,
were intended for the Southern Confederacy. The same
journal has reason to believe that despatches have been
received, remonstrating with the British Government for
allowing on previous occasions privateers and vessels laden
with ammunition to built and fitted out in British ports.


DUBLIN SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
THE fine ship Sultana, of Dublin, one of Messrs John
Martin & Son's fleet, arrived in Dublin bay on the
night of the 10th instant, 18 days from Quebec,
having accomplished the entire voyage out and home,
including detention at port of loading, in the short
period of 58 days, which we believe is within one
day of being the quickest voyage to and from
Quebec on record.
The following are her dates, viz. :--Sailed from
Dublin on 13th September, arrived at Quebec on
13th October, sailed thence with full cargo on 23d
October, and arrived in Dublin Bay on the night of
the 10th inst.
We also noticed the arrival at Kingstown last night
of the well-known ship Rienzi, 912 tons registered,
another of the above-named firm's ships, she having
accomplished the same voyage as the Sultana in the
same time within a few hours. Such achievements are
alike creditable to ships and owners, and speak
highly of the energy of the respective captains,
Samuel M'Intosh and Wm. Murphy.


QUEENSTOWN PETTY SESSIONS.
--------------------------------------
IMPORTANT TO SEAMEN.
(Before Capt. Martin, R.N., and Maurice
Power, M.D.)
WILLIAM M'BETH, boatswain of the Australian
emigrant ship Wanata, at Queenstown, summoned
Mr. Michael Murphy, the master of said ship, for
£1 9s. 0d., ten days' wages.
M'Beth being sworn, said--I was boatswain of the
Wanata ; I joined the ship at London ; on arriving at
Queenstown the crew of the ship complained of their
accomodation in the forecastle ; I brought it under
notice of one of the ship's officers, who promised to
put up two more berths in it ; I said why should not
the men have as good room as the passengers ; the
chief mate reported me to the master, and said he
would not have me on any account on board ; I said
I would leave the ship if Captain Murphy told me to
do so ; the captain told me to leave, and I did so ; I
returned to the ship in the evening for my clothes and
discharge, but I was not allowed on board ; I have
not been discharged by the master ; I got an advance
note for my month's wages, £4 10s. ; I got money for
the note from a friend of mine, the master of the
London Sailor's Home.
Cross-examined by Mr. O'Bryen--Have you the
note now?--You know I have not the note.
Mr. O'Bryen--If you give up the note now I will
give you the wages due.
M'Beth--I cannot give up the note as it is in
London.
Mr. O'Bryen read an analagous case--M'Kane v.
Joynson--reported in Maclachlan's Treatise on the
Law of Merchant Shipping, and contended that as
M'Beth had got value for the advanced note, and as
he did not desert the ship, but left by mutual
agreement, the owners of the Wanata were liable for
the amount of the note. He also contended that as the
time for paying the amount of the advance note, three
days after the ship sailing from Queenstown, had not
expired the note was not due.
The Court ruled that as the seaman had received
the amount of £4 10s., a full month's wages, they had
no power to make an order for the sum claimed. The
case was dismissed, leaving the complainant the
power of suing the owners for nine days' wages in
case they refused to pay the holder of the advance
note the amount for which it was passed.
As the present state of the law upon advance notes
was somewhat ambiguous, the chairman, Capt.
Martin, drew up a case for the law advisers' opinion.
Messrs. James Scott and Co., are the agents for
the ship.

hours and a quarter. The sea was very heavy.


THE LATE FATAL AFFRAY AT PASSAGE.
------------------
AT nine o'clock to-day, in the Courthouse, Passage,
Mr. Coroner Honohan held an adjourned inquiry into
the cause of death of Guiseppe de Christinia, belonging
to the Italian barque Biaggio, from Palermo, which
took place on Saturday last under circumstances
already detailed. The names of the following jury, who
were sworn on Saturday, were called over :--Henry
Boland, John D. Evans, W. R. Penny, Daniel Hegarty,
Michael Murley, Daniel Murphy, John Flynn, William
Thomas, William Waugh, William Craig, Thomas
Sullivan, Philip Hussey.
Ignazio Tedesco, who stood charged with causing
the death of deceased, was brought into court
handcuffed, by Constable Cannon.
Signor G. Milori, Italian Consul, was present during
the investigation.
Guiseppe Guglielmini, captain of the barque, was the
first witness examined, and gave his evidence through
Mr. Barry who acted as interpreter. He deposed as
follows :--I knew deceased, he was a sailor on board
my ship since 7th September, and belonged to
Palermo ; knew the prisoner, Ignazio Tedesco, who is
also a sailor on board since 10th May, and is a Sicilian
; do not know whether the deceased and prisoner ever
had any difference on board ; was not on board when
they left the ship on Saturday morning and do not
know anything about the occurrence in question ; the
prisoner was a good young man, but the deceased did
not by appearance seem to be so good ; never saw
either of them misconduct himself while on board.
Vincenz Pristiani, a Sicilian and sailor on board the
Biaggio, stated--I left the ship on Saturday morning
with deceased and prisoner ; a little boy, also from
Palermo, accompanied us ; we came ashore to get
water, and there was no dispute or difference between
them either on the water or on the shore as far as I
know ; three of us went to the well ; I remained there
filling the water, and the prisoner and deceased
brought the barrels which were to be filled, each of
them making two trips to the well, after which they did
not return again ; do not know if they had knives with
them at the time, but they generally have them on
board, and take them about with them wherever they
go.
To a Juror--The way I knew deceased was killed
was when the prisoner came back to the well he told
me of it and said he was wouinded himself.
Mr. Flynn (a juror)--I saw the witness coming out
of the field by O'Brien's gate seven or eight minutes
after the man was killed.
The interpreter here again put the question to the
witness, how he knew that deceased was killed, but
witness seemed not to understand what he was asked
and it was some time before and answer could be had.
At last,
Mr. W. D'E. Parker said--Mr. Coroner, the Consul
says they do not understand one another.
The Coroner--Mr. Parker, you are not to interfere
in the matter at all, whether they do or not. You have
no right to interfere.
Mr. Parker--I am well aware of that.
The Coroner--If you interfere again I will have you
removed. You do not understand them either.
Mr. Hegarty (juror)--As there seems to be a
misunderstanding between them, it would be well, Mr.
Coroner, if you had the evidence of the consul who
understands the language better then the interpreter.
The Consul--I beg your pardon, Mr. Coroner, the
men speak the Sicilian dialect, and though Mr. Barry
speaks Italian very well, the two dialects are as
different as possible.
The Coroner--Have we the facts as stated by the
witness, as far as they are on this paper?
The Consul--You have, sir.
The Coroner--Is not that all right, then? I knew very
well the consul would interfere, and he is quite right.
Examination continued--After the prisoner told me
he was wounded, I asked who wounded him, and he
said "the dead man" ; I asked where he was, and he
said "in the field" ; I asked who killed him, and he said
"I did." A little boy then met me and said a man was
dead in the field ; I went with him and saw the dead
body.
A juror--Had they, during the voyage, any
misunderstanding or dispute? No.
To Mr. Penny--There was a Genoese also at
the well.
Mr. Boland--Was there anyone near the dead body
when you went up? No. Had the dead man anything in
his hand? I do not know. I was a little distance from
him, and I did not examine the hand or body.
Patrick Lane, farmer, Maulbane, deposed--I was
coming out my own gate on a message for my master
on Saturday morning, and I saw the two men jostling in
the field. Did you see that man (the prisoner) there? I
could not identify him, but from his dress I think I did,
to the best of my belief ; I saw him afterwards coming
down the road ; in the barrack I thought it was he from
the dress he wore ; but I could not swear plump that
he was the man that was jostling in the field with the
other ; he was trotting down Churchill when I saw him
on the road ; from his dress I would say it was the
same man I saw in the barrack, on the road, and
jostling in the field ; the prisoner is the man I saw at the
barrack.
To Mr. Boland--I saw them scuffling, after which
one fell and the other went away ; did not go to see the
body ; did not suspect the man was wounded until I
went back from Mr. Brien's house ; after falling the
dead man stood up partly and looked at the prisoner ;
had no suspicion of his death at all but heard him
screech. What did you think he screeched for? I did
not know ; the prisoner was then a few yards away,
but when he heard the screech he looked back and the
dead man fell down again ; the prisoner then ran
away.
Mr. Penny--Were they long engaged in the conflict?
They were not after I saw them entangled.
To Mr. Boland--I did not examine the body at all,
but after I met Mr. Clarke's boy I asked him to come
in and see what was the matter.
The Coroner--What has this man to do with the
matter? Why should the man go and examine the
body?
To a Juror--I was twenty yards from the body.
To Mr. Hegarty (juror)--I did not see any knives in
their hands, nor would you (addressing Mr. Hegarty)
either if you were there.
Michael O'Brien, boot and shoemaker, Passage,
stated--On Saturday last the prisoner was brought
into my house by a shipmate ; he was bleeding at the
time ; I did not see a knife with him ; he was bleeding
from his right side ; I think he would have dropped
dead only for the way I bound the wound ; the
shipmate told me to keep the prisoner there for a short
time ; I heard there was a dead man outside.
Dr. Johnson here said that both wounds presented
the same appearance, and but that the rib turned off
the knife, the prisoner would have suffered just as
deceased did.
William Ahearn, labourer, Pembroke, examined on
Saturday last, repeated the evidence on Monday.
Dr. Johnson, medical officer, Passage, stated that he
examined the deceased and also the prisoner, and had
no doubt the wounds inflicted on both were caused by
exactly the same description of knife ; does not think
the prisoner is in any danger from the wound received.
This concluded the evidence, and the court having
been cleared, the jury considered their verdict, which
in a few minutes they handed in, and was to the effect
that deceased came by his death in consequence of the
wound inflicted by the prisoner. Tedesco was then
committed, and the witnesses were bound over in their
recognisances to give evidence at the Assizes.
Mr. Boland, foreman, said it was the wish of the jury
that he would ask the consul if some means could not
be adopted to prevent the sailors, when coming on
shore, from wearing such knives as those used at the
fatal occurrence on Saturday--that not being the first
which took place.
The consul replied that nothing could be done except
to recommend the captains to impress on their men the
necessity of not taking them with them ashore.
The jury also decided, before separating, on
memorialing the authorities in favour of Constable
Cannon and the two sub-constables who arrested the
prisoner, as they were of opinion that but for their
prompt exertions he may have escaped.
The proceedings then terminated.

SHIPWRECK OF THE BARQUE "ELIZA"--LOSS
OF TWENTY FOUR LIVES.
TWO men, survivors of a most disastrous shipwreck,
have this day been landed at Queenstown, and received
into the Cork Sailors' Home. On Sunday last the Eliza, a
barque of 760 tons, Captain SMITH, left Liverpool for
Monte Video, laden with machinery and coals. Her
crew inclusive of officers consisted of twenty six men.
After passing Holyhead the breeze freshened, and it
began to blow strong from the South East. About two
o'clock next morning the wind grew so strong that sail
was shortened, and at nine o'clock in the forenoon the
three top gallant masts were carried away. With the loss
of these spars one man was carried overboard, another
had his leg broken, and a third, one of two landed at
Queenstown, a man named MONTGOMERY, had his arm
dislocated at the shoulder. In an hour after the ship
sprang a leak, and before long she had seven feet of
water in the hold. The ship was then about mid-channel.
All hands were employed at the pumps, but the leak
continued to gain at the rate of an inch-and-a-half every
two hours. The mate, an American named BURNS, urged
the CAPTAIN to bear up for Queenstown, but the CAPTAIN
refused. For twenty-four hours they continue in this
position when the CAPTAIN at last consented, and the
vessel's course was changed for this port. The wind,
however, continued in full force, and the ship laboured
heavily. All at once her three top-masts went by the
board, and shortly after the sea began to make breach
over her. One sea swept her fore and aft, carrying away
with resistless force two boats, and no less than twelve
men, not one of whom was ever seen again. At three
o'clock she was completely awash and sinking. The two
seamen who have been saved, WILLIAM LYONS, a native
of Liverpool, and JOHN MONTGOMERY, a native of
Scotland, got into the lifeboat and cut away the tackle.
The boat was driven clear off the ship, and she was
scarcely parted with it when the vessel went down
bodily, with every soul on board, these two men alone
escaping. A small schooner, named the Aspia, whose
Captain was also an American, named SMITH, and like
the lost vessel was bound from Liverpool to Monte
Video, hove in sight to windward, and picked up the
two men. They were received on board and treated with
the greatest humanity. The schooner getting leaky, she
had to bear up for Queenstown to get pumps repaired.
She fetched our port this morning, when she landed the
two poor fellows who had escaped from the tragical fate
of so many comrades. At the Cork Sailors' Home they
have been received with that kindness the institution is
intended to show those in their unfortunate position, and
every attention has been paid to them by the hon.
secretary, Captain STUART, R.N., to whom, we may
add, it is owing that there exists such an establishment.
The seafaring inmates of the Home generously entered
into a subscription for the shipwrecked men, and
provided them with a sum of money and clothes.
The survivors were the only two British subjects in the
entire crew. All the rest were Americans, and all
strangers to each other, as they had only been shipped
four days before leaving Liverpool.

EMIGRATION TO QUEENSLAND
--------
THE Golden City, which arrived from London on
Tuesday, and is at present lying in Queenstown
harbour, took on board yesterday 237 emigrants for
Queensland. The Golden City is one of the Black Ball
line of emigrant vessels, and one of the finest
passenger ships that ever entered this port, as regards
symmetry, sailing powers, and accomodation. A large
number of passengers, with their luggage, proceeded
to Queenstown last evening, and the evening before,
by the Queenstown Direct Railway. Mr. O'Leary, the
active and obliging stationmaster at Queenstown,
superintended their arrival there, and took care to
transfer them safely to the hands of the local agents,
the Messrs. Scott. The passengers were all safely on
board at midday yesterday. The Golden City is to sail
to-day.

QUEENSTOWN PETTY SESSIONS--YESTERDAY.
------------
(Before Captain MARTIN, R.N., and Mr. THOMAS H.
TARRANT.)
FIFTEEN of the crew of the emigrant ship, Golden City,
bound from London to Queensland with passengers, were
brought before the bench under a warrant, charged with
having refused to proceed on the voyage.
Mr. R. H. O'Bryen, solicitor, appeared for Mr. Brown,
the master of the ship, and stated that the fifteen prisoners
were articled seamen of the Golden City and shipped in
London for the voyage to Queensland, but having spent the
amount of the advances made to them by the owners, they
now wished to get rid of their engagement in the hope of
getting another ship and another advance.
The Master, William Brown, sworn, deposed that the
weather was very bad during the run from London to
Queenstown, and in consequence of this both he and the
crew had to be continually at work ; on Sunday the men
had to put pareling on to prevent the chafing of the standing
rigging ; the hurry to leave London did not admit of the
pareling being put on in port ; the accomodation in the
forecastle was superior to that of any merchant ship that he
had ever seen ; the wet the men complained of was caused
by the cables in the hause holes ; when in the channel it was
necessary to keep the cables bent ; at sea the hause holes
would be plugged up and the cables drawn in ; the men had
plenty of matting to stop up the holes, and there were
seizings and spun yarn to make them secure ; there were
only a few tubs of pitch and some cable in the forecastle,
which were put there in the hurry of leaving dock and
would be stowed away below ; the men got no unnecessary
hardship ; the weather was very bad and they had to do a
good deal of work.
Captain Martin--Are there hoses over the hause holes?
Witness--No, sir, I have never seen any. On the 16th the
prisoners refused to obey my orders ; they would not work,
and they refused to continue the voyage. I called them aft to
ascertain the nature of their complaints, but they refused to
come off the poop. I did everything in my power for the
comfort of the crew, but for the first two or three days in a
ship things are not settled.
The mate and boatswain deposed that the crew were not
worked more than necessary for the safety of the ship and
all on board, and that in their opinion the prisoners had no
cause of complaint ; the constant work was caused by the
bad weather on the passage to Queenstown.
The Prisoners, addressing the bench, said they required
witnesses for their defence, but were unable to give the
names of the persons they proposed to examine. When
pressed to do so Captain Martin said any witnesses they
could point out would be sent for.
The Prisoners--We don't know any of them, sir.
Captain Martin--Have you received the amount of your
advance notes?
The Prisoners--We have, sir.
Captain Martin--Then you are robbing your owners, and
that is not a creditable thing for sailors to do. You ought to
fulfil your agreement when paid in advance for doing so.
The Prisoners--We will not go on board of her again,
sir.
Captain Martin said he regretted that such was the
determination of the prisoners. He strongly advised them to
return to their duty.
The Prisoners still declined to return to their ship.
Captain Martin--To show that the law will not allow
seamen to disobey orders, and act dishonestly, my brother
magistrates and myself have come to the conclusion of
imprisoning the twelve men who got cash for their advance
notes, namely,--Alfred Mammont, Alfred Kettle, Charles
Gripps, Charles William Allen, Robert Woodlock, George
Ahearn, Joseph Steward, Joseph Daly, Charles Blatt, John
Dunne, Harman Sunderland and William Warren, for eight
weeks with hard labour. The three other men--namely
Robert Large, William West, and Peter Erickson, alias
Hettercham, who have not acted dishonestly by turning their
advance notes into cash, to the loss of the owners of the
ship Golden City, we will only sentence to the lenient
punishment of 14 days' imprisonment, as we consider they
were led on by those men, who, it would appear, only
shipped for the purpose of obtaining a month's advance
without intending to work for it.
The Prisoners applied to have their clothes sent on shore.
Mr. Tarrant--We have no power to make any such
order. You still belong to the ship, and the captain, if he
thinks fit, has the power of taking you on board again.
Mr. O'Bryan--Your Worships, the clothes of the men
who are indebted to the ship will be sent on shore if they
return the money we paid them in advance ; the clothes of
the men who are not indebted to the ship will be sent on
shore.
The Prisoners were then removed by the Sub-Inspector
of Police and his men.
As the sailors had complained of their forecastle, Captain
Martin visited the ship to judge for himself of the cause of
complaint. Having inspected the forecastle and caused it to
be measured, he found that all the requirements of the law
were complied with, and that the complaints were
groundless. Captain Martin was then shewn over the ship
and expressed himself pleased with the arrangements on
board. The apparatus for distilling 300 gallons, per day, of
fresh from salt water, being at work, the Captain tasted the
water and pronounced it excellent.

[The Golden City arrived at Moreton Bay 4 March 1863. On a subsequent
voyage, it was driven ashore in a gale at Lady Elliot Island, Queensland
coast, 13 July 1866.]

THE "PERSIA."
--------
THE explanation of the delay in the arrival of the Persia
is that when three days on her voyage her starboard piston
was found to be disabled. At starting the wind was
easterly, but fortunately it changed to the west about the
time the accident occurred. From that period, with only
one engine working, the Persia made 250 miles a day up
to the last two days when the speed reached 280 miles
per day. The Persia arrived in the harbour about one
o'clock, and cast anchor between the forts. She landed
thirty passengers.

on board from the Colombo. We left Minicoy Island on
the 3rd inst.


THE WEST INDIES.
SOUTHAMPTON, DEC. 14.--The Atrato has arrived here.
She brings no mails or passengers from the Pacific ports,
in consequence of the heavy rains, which renderd the
railways from Panama to Colon impassable.
The West India Company's steamer Avon, was driven
ashore at Colon on the 22nd, during a heavy northern
wind. It is expected she will become a total wreck. No
lives were lost. 178 packages of specie were on board,
which it is expected will be recovered. The brig Boliviar,
of Dundee, has been totally wrecked. The Federal war
steamer Bambridge, and merchant steamer Ocean
Queen, narrowly escaped destruction and sustained much
damage.
The Confederate steamer Alabama was at Martinique
when the Federal steamer San Jacinto arrived there, and
ran alongside her, but was ordered off by the
Government. The San Jacinto watched her out of the
harbour, but the Alabama escaped during the night.

WONDERFUL ESCAPE.--Truth is often stranger than fiction.
On Saturday as William Hoskins, of Greenwich, was in his
boat near the Maplin Sands, on the look-out for ships, the
wind increased to a gale, and drifted him far to leeward.
When near the Middle Deep, he saw a barge, the Matilda, of
London, at anchor, with colours half-mast high, and when he
boarded her he found the barge deserted. The vessel parted
from her anchor, and drifted about in all the fearful weather
until Sunday night, when she struck on the French coast,
about six miles west of Calais, and became a total wreck.
Hospins was washed ashore on a bundle of straw (a bundle
of straw will sustain the human frame in the water for many
hours). The British consul at Calais sent him across to the
Dover Sailors' Home by the French mail packet Queen.
--Dover Chronicle.


The screw-steamer Calcutta lately took out a pack of
hounds for the Madras Hunt. The dogs, thirty-one in number,
are beautiful specimens of their race, and have received a
thorough training in their work. Already they have been tested
at Madras, and found fully up to the work.
