On Monday afternoon Liverpool was again visited by a thunderstorm, far more severe in its effects than that of the preceding day. The storm commenced about half-past three o'clock, and con tinued with more or less intensity until after five. The atmosphere appeared to be highly charged with the electric fluid, and the flashes of lightning followed each other in rapid succession. The thunder was loud and frequent, and at times resembled the shocks from rapid discharges of musketry in close proximity to the town. At intervals torrents of rain descended, and some of the streets were for a time literally flooded. Though of comparatively short duration, the storm is considered one of the most severe that has occurred in LiVerpool for many years. Several accidents occurred from the lightning, though, fortunately, so far as can be learnt, none of them have been attended with fatal results. The chimney of Mr. Robinson, a feather-bed manufac turer, Williamson-square, was struck by the light ning, and a portion of the brickwork fell upon the roof. A few of the bricks were even projected to some distance in the square, and several persons passing at the time narrowly escaped injury. The shock, which was severely felt in Mr. Robinson's premises, extended to the buildings on each side, and several of the inmates ran out into the street in a state of the utmost terror and alarm. No one, however, sustained the slightest injury. About four o'clock, when the storm appeared to be at its height, the electric fluid struck the Collegiate Institution, passing down into the secretary's office, where seve ral persons were pursuing their ordinary avocations. No one was injured, though all were necessarily much alarmed. It was afterwards ascertained that the flagstaff on the roof of the building had been struck by the lightning, and several yards of it broken off. The most serious accident occurred at Messrs. Vernon's iron shipbuilding yard, Brunswick Dock. A large number of men an boys who were at work on an iron vessel on the stocks took shelter under its side during the storm. Simultaneously with one of the most vivid flashes of lightning, followed by one of the loudest peals of thunder, the men were enveloped in what they describe as a huge sheet or mass of red flame, which seemed to strike against the iron side of the hull over them, and to rebound and pass through a shed or workshop. Eight men and two boys were instantly prostrated, some falling forward and others backward, and all dropping flat upon the ground, to the conster nation of their more fortunate comrades who escaped the violence of the shock, and who were ready to render immediate assistance. Not one of the ten was burned, but all were helpless and in a state of semi-consciousness. Two were carried and the other eight conveyed in an omnibus to the Southern Hospital, where they were attended to by the house surgeons. In about three-quarters of an hour all were sufficiently recovered to walk home, except the greatest sufferer, John Powell, a boy of 17, living at Birkenhead. When struck by the lightning he bled profusely from the mouth and nose ; and, as he appeared in a dying state, he was the first placed on a stretcher and carried off to the hospital, arriving there in a collapsed, cold, and insensible condition. It was found that he had sustained concussion of the spine, and from it he suffers great pain, which extends to the head. The other sufferers were in a similar condition, varying in degree, when received at the hospital. Three of them, John Bebbington, aged 11, Edward Edwards, aged 33, and John Griffiths, aged 22, had received scalp wounds of a superficial character, no doubt from falling upon some of the nails and pieces of iron with which the ground under the vessel is strew e d. Th omas W h i tfield, aged 40, who was much collapsed, suffered great pain in the head. The others had sustained no specific injury beyond the general shock to the system. The mould room of Messrs. Josiah Jones and Co., iron shipbuilders, Sefton-street, was struck, and completely opened across the building.

Considerable alarm was felt, but fortunately the fire was extinguished by a few bucketfuls of water, ere much damage had been clone, and before the fire brigade, who were promptly in attendance, had arrived. TEE WAR IN ITALY. The Messager de Paris lately recounted, in a let ter alleged to be received from Vercelli, some filthy details, which it attribut e d t o th e A us t r i an generals. The liessayer is a supporter of the Government, and thought it would best show its zeal by repeat ' ing, whether true or false, those disgusting stories. No one reprobates such a mode of vilifying an enemy more strongly than the Minister of the Interior, the Duke of Padua. In expressing this reprobation he has not had recourse to the odious system of aver tissement, but has preferred the remedy afforded by the law, of replying, without avertissement, to the indecencies of the Messager. A communication to the following effect has been made, or is to be made, to that journal : _ " The Jfessager de Paris published ii its number of the 29th a letter, dated Vercelli, in which the Austrian army, its General-in- Chief, and even the Emperor Francis Joseph, are grossly outraged. These outrages,; which happily are an exception in the French press, clrqeleto be all the more, reprobated that they are addressed to a Tower with which we are at war. "At a moment when the Emperor Napoleon commands the army of Italy, in front of the enemy, his Government consider it to be their imperative duty to maintain the nobleness of its policy, by repudiating a publication which is contrary to the dignity of the French character. " The press may always deplore and stigmatise acts which are contrary to international right and the laws of humanity. If Austria forgets what all civilised nations owe to the honour of war, she exposes herself to just censure and to severe judgment. But the more legitimate it is to con demn, the less booming it is to insult. " The French press did itself honour by the unanimity with which it gave expression to the patriotic sentiments of the whole country. It likewise does itself honour by re conciling the independence of its opinions on the conduct of Austria with the respect for decency towards those who are the adversaries of France on the field of battle." It is said that the Moniteur will soon announce the appointment of four Generals of Division and 12 Generals of Brigade, among whom , ire the names of Colonels de Lesparre and Cambriel, who distin guished themselves at the battle of Montebello. The Pays says— " We understand that the French Government is engaged in preparing immense supplies for all the wants of the army, so that it will not have to require anything from the Lom bard people when it 'shall have crossed the Po and the Ticino. This precaution, which contrasts so strongly with the system of requisitions and exactions adopted by the Austrian army, has been one of the causes which have up to the present time retarded the commencement of offen sive operations." The world will be pleased to see this promise fully carried out, and to find that a liberating army does not rest its claim to that title on the system of exactions and requisitions, or on any of the acts attributed to the Austrians. The Italians will rejoice more than any ono that their liberators do not intend they shall pass through so terrible an ordeal as the condition of their independence. They will rejoice all the more, because they may not have forgotten what they suffered from their friends on their former "Liberation," or "'Tis 60 years since," and which unfortunately bears a partial resemblance to the proceedings which have roused the indignation of the Piedmontese and French press. In May, 1796, General Bonaparte, who had entered on his mission of liberating the Italiar d Governments and people from the yoke of Au , A r i a , after concluding an armistice with the duke of Parma, requested from the Parmesans. " A tribute of 2,000,000 in specie, wk:ich his military chest stood much in need of, 1,600 hoNes for his artillery and baggage, a great quantity of wheat and barley, the faculty of traversing the Duchy, and the establishment of hospitals for his sick, at the expense of the Prince. The General did not limit himself to that ; he loved and relished the arts as an Italian • he knew all they add to the splen dour of art empire. ard_ the maral effect they produce on the imagination of men ; be therefore exacted 20 pictures, to be selected by French commissioners, to be transported to Paris. Tire envoys of the Duke, too happy to disarm at this price the Wrath of the General, agreed to all, and hastened to execute the conditions of thearmistice. Yet they offered a million to ransom the picture of St. Jerome ; the million was refused."—Thi ers ' Rev., v. 8, p. 175. The Parmesans were not the only people who were liberated in the same fashion. Lombardy was the great object the liberator had in view, and the Lombards impatiently expected his arrival among them.• The victory of Lodi was followed by his triumphant entry into Milan, when the popu lation received him with great enthusiasm. This enthusiasm calmed down a little in a few days, for the liberating General was obliged to levy on the liberated Milanese a contribution of 20,000,000 f. M. Thiers says— " This measure seemed to him vexatious, because it re tarded the march of the public spirit ; but still it was not too badly received. Moreover, it was indispensable. Owing to the magazines found in Piedmont (which had been also just liberated), to the grain furnished by the Duke of Parma, the army had a great abundance of provisions. The soldiers grew fat, ate good bread, good meat, and drank excellent wine," &c. The Modenese were not yet sufficiently liberated, but, encouraged doubtless by these examples, were anxious to be so— " The Duke asked to treat. Bonaparte could not grant peace, but only an armistice, which was equivalent to peace, and which made him master of every existence in Italy. He exacted 10,000,000, supplies of every kind, horses, and pictures. With these resources obtained in the country he established on the banks of the Po vast magazines, hospi tals furnished with necessaries for 15,000 sick, and he filled all the military chests of the army. Deeming himself rich enough, he despatched to Genoa some millions for the Di rectory. As he knew, moreover, that the army of the Rhi ne was in want of fund s , an d that want arrested its entry on the campaign, he sent, through Switzerland, a milli on t o -- Morcan, &c."Thiers, v. 8. This system did not seem to please the Lombards, unable apparently to appreciate their liberation. M. Thiers remarks—. "They rose in insurrection, excited by the nobles, the monks, the domestics of the fugitive families, and by a mul titude of creatures of the Austrian Government, and they prepared a revolt against the French army." On learning the stupidity and ingratitude of the men for whom he had done so much, Bonaparte has tened from Lodi, where he was at the time, to in duce them to return to their duty :-- "The insurgents had pushed an advanced guard to the town of Binasco. Lannes dispersed it. Bonaparte, think ing that it was necessary to act with promptitude and vigour in order to arrest the evil in its birth, set fire to the town with a view to terrify Pavia with the sight of its flames." Pavia was, in fott, terrifies : " The French penetrated into the city, and had a combat to sustain in the streets. Yet they (the insurgents) did not long resist. The peasants fled, and abandoned the wretched Pavia, to the wrath of the conqueror. The soldiers de etnded with loud cries to be allowed to pillage. Bonaparte, by way of making a severe example, granted the three hours' pillage. They were scarcely a thousand men, and they could not cause great disasters in a city so considerable as Pavia. They made a dash at the goldsmith's shops, and seized a great quantity of jewels. The most reprehensible act was the pillage of the Mont-de-Piettl." This " leot,"however, seems to M. Thiers to be palliated by the fact that the objects found in the pawnbroking establishments only " belonged to the higher classes in the country." In order further to bring these benighted peo ple to a sense of their-situation— " Bonaparte despatched through the country 300 horse, who sabred a great number of the revolted. This prompt repression produced submission everywhere, and had its effect on those who in Italy were opposed to liberty and to France." The historian parenthetically adds— " It is sad to be forced to employ such means ; but Bona parte must have done so, under pain of sacrificing his army and the destinies of Italy. The party of the monks trembled (no wonder) ; the misfortunes that befel Pavia, carried from mouth to mouth were exaggerated, and the French army recovered its formidable renown."—Thiers, vol. 8, pp. 193-4. M. Thiers, from whose great work on the French Revolution these few extracts are made, has had the honour of being made the subject of special compliment 2n so solemn an occasion as the speech from the Tfiron e, last year, when the Emperor spoke of him as the " truly national historian of Prance." At a leer period (1798) the population of the Cis-Alpine Republic sh . owed themselves still more ungrateful for the liberties and other benefits they had obtained from their benefactors ; and, according to Botta ( Storia d' Italia, da11749 a/ 1814). Lucien Bonaparte, brother of the General, then in Milan, strangely enough, gave expression to senti ments of strong reprobation against the French Directory. The new screw steam frigate Emerald, Captain A. Cumming, and the new screw -steam corvette Cadmus, Capt. Hillyar, now at Sheerness, ready to join the Channel squadron, will proceed t o th e Great Nore, and there remain to salute the Princess R oya l of Prussia' on her passage down the Thames. Her Royal Highness will embark from Gravesend this day. IRELAN.b. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY EVENING. MORE GOVERNMENT APPOINTMENTS. Lord Eglinton appears determined, at any cost, to provide for his Whig recruits. His last exertion in this way is the appointment of Mr. Macdonogh, Q;C., as counsel to the excise department, vice Mr. Smyly. The post is not worth much ; but it is not a little remarkable that it should be given to Mr. Macdonogh, as that gentleman always voted against the Conservatives until the last election, when he ostentatiously gave his support to Sir E. Grogan and Mr. Vance. His desertion of the Liberal cause on that occasion was so flagrant, indeed, that Mr. Brady publicly referred to it. The Government, it is said, have a number of other appointments in view, and are making arrangements to create vacancies in coveted places. One of these is the Crown solicitorship for Dublin, now held by Mr. Kemmis, in whose family it has been for nearly a century. Two persons are named for this post. One of them is a prominent member of the White side " family party." DREADFUL CASE OF HOMICIDE. The following painful particulars have been sup plied to Saunders' News Letter by a correspondent at Ballinasloe, under date yesterday evening : " The public here have just been startled by the intelligence of a dreadful homicide, perpetrated this day near the village of Ballinamore, in this county. The gentleman who met with an untimely fate was Mr. Richard Burke, who up to the present had been acting as land agent to the Hon. Martin Ffrench. Mr. Burke had been residing in the house of St. Brandon's, on the property of his employer, and it_ had:been arranged that' he should give it np for the use of young Mr. Ffrench, but recently married. Mr. Ffrench arrived at Ballinamore Park, the seat of his father, this morning so early as four o'clock, and immediately proceeded to St. Brandon's, to awake Mr. Burke, who accom panied him back. They were together during the day, and both having disappeared, some appre hension was excited. About four o'clock this evening the friends of Mr. Burke began to make inquiries. and in a short tir his dead body was found pierced' by two pistol bullets in the plantation at Ballina more. Mr. Ffrench is missing, and the authorities are on the alert, endeavouring to obtain information. As the matter is both a painful and a delicate one, I hesitate to mention many of the particulars which have reached me. Mr. Burke was an amiable young man, and was very generally esteemed. Mr. Ffrench, was at times known to labour under fits approach ing to insanity. FURTHER PARTICULARS. --ANOTHER "Eleven o'clock.--A messenger from Ahascragh announces that-Mr. Ffrench has been found dead in the woods of Clonbrock. One of the constabulary has been despatched by Mr. Montgomery, R.M., to learn particulars, but I cannot await his return for this parcel." THE 30TH REGIMENT. The ceremony of depositing the old colours of this gallant corps in the great hall of the Royal Hospital, Dublin, took place at half-past two o'clock yesterday, in presence of their Excellencies the Lord Lieutenant and the Countess of Eglinton, hod many other distinguished personages: It at first intended that the ceremony, in accordance with bygone usage, should not be of a puhKc character, but the Commander of the Forces Llaviry , signified his desire that this intention shr, - ald not be adhered to, arrangem en t s were mad ; to invest it with a greater degree of ec l a t th an - has hitherto character ised such event s . A party of the 30th, under the command of Lieu and, preceded Connell, bore th e o ld Colours, ing the Iv the band of the regi men t, perform,: "tritish Grenadiers," marched into the inner so:Jare soon after two o'clock, and were drawn UP 'some distance from the Great Hall. Imme; stately in front of the latter, a party of the pensioners, under command of Captain Gibbons, was also drawn up, for the purpose of receiving the colours. Their Excellencies arrived at half-past two, attended by the Honourable Colonel Lindsay, private secretary ; Captain Warburton, A.D.C. ; and accompanied by Lord Viscount Gough, Gen. Lord Seaton, Gen. Gascoigne, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, &c. Capt. Chadwick, the adjutant of the establishment, was also present, having previously superintended the preliminary arrangements. Capt. Lockwood, of the invalids, who carried the old colours at Badajoz, and who subsequently received a severe wound at 'Waterloo, in consequence of which he was obliged to submit to the operation of trepanning, was reluctantly obliged to absent himself, owing to severe illness. After the reception of their Excellencies, two ensigns of the 30th, bearing the colours, on a signal from the officer in command, advanced from the ranks in slow step towards the body of pensioners, to whom they surrendered their charge, the band . performing the National Anthem. The colours were received by two old sergeants of the 30th ! (now inmates of the hospital), who carried them •, within the hall, there to be deposited side by side with the many other similar mementos of well fought fields, which adorn that fine building. This terminated the ceremony, after which their Excel lencies and the company invited were entertained at a &Jenner in the hall. C.RUELTY TO SAILORS IN AME.RICAN SHIPS. The commanders and mates of our merchant ships are gaining, or we may with greater justice say have gained, a most damaging reputation for cruelty to the seamen under their charge, and if this reputation should be confirmed, as we have too much reason to fear it will be, from the frequent reports that are made of the maltreatment of the crews on board our ships, the difficulty of manning our merchant navy, which must be the consequence, will seriously affect our commercial prosperity. The records of our Marine Court exhibit a fearful history of cruelty and savage persecution on the part of our shipmasters and their mates towards their crews ; and these cases of cruelty and barbarous treatment are the rule, and not the exception, on board our ships. Last year, when the captain of an English ship was hung in Liverpool for the inhuman murder of one of the sailors under his charge, the masters of the American ships in that port displayed their colours at half-mast on the day of the execution, in token of their disapproval of the punishment of the murderer and their sympathy with him. Within a few days reports have been received here of shock ing outrages committed on board of our ships in various parts of the world. The commander of one of the ships of the Paraguay squadron has been court-martialed for having by his cruelty driven one of his sailors to jump overboard to escape the wanton persecutions by which the poor wretch was harassed. In Liverpool the captain of an American ship was arrested for causing the death of a sailor; and in San Francisco last month the captain of the American bark Sarah Park was arrested for having treated his crew in a manner that transcends belief. One of the wretched 'creatures under the charge of this modern Blackbeard had been made a lunatic by the cruelties inflicted upon him ; and two of his sailors had been brought to the office of the United States' Marshal in the last stages of starva tion, their bodies horribly lacerated, and their whole condition pitiable in the extreme. The alleged cause for the horrible barbarities practised upon these poor wretches was the crime of pilfering a piece of biscuit from the ships' stores when they were placed upon short allowance. Besides the cruelties practised upon these miserable creatures, the master of the barque was accused of the murder of one of his crew, who was thrown overboard. This last was an extreme case, no doubt, but there have been too many which bore a resemblance to it, and it stands the great mass of our shipmasters in hand to do something to free themselves f rom the reproach which their repeated acts of barbarity bring upon them as a class. Our countrymen are not naturally of a cruel and vindictive nature, and, if they were, their proverbial shrewdness ought to be sufficient to preserve them from the unprofitable blunder of maltreating the very men upon whose lives their own safety and welfare depend. Our shipmasters are renowned for their generosity, frankness, and hearty good nature on shore; and we are continually receiving reports of their gal lantry and noble conduct at sea ; passengers delight in making them presents of silver trumpets in testimony of their gratitude for courtesies received, and every now and then her Britannic Majesty sends a gold chronometer to one of our shipmasters as a reward for his humanity in rescuing some of her subjects from the perils of shipwreck on the ocean. As a class, we believe that our shipmasters are a very worthy, humane, and gallant set of men, and it is puzzling to know that there can be any such inhuman monsters, whose cruel natures and savage dispositions are only developed when they, get off soundings, and who are so utterly wanting in common prudence as to starve, beat, maim, and wantonly persecute the men without whose assist ance they could not navigate their ships.—.2Vew York Times.

Walker, K.C.8., Surveyor of the Navy ; Commodore the IlLn. James R. Drummond, C. 8., Superintendent of Woolwich Dockyard ; Mr. C. Atherton, Chief Engineer and Inspector of Machinery; Mr. A. Sturdee, Master Shipwright of the yard, yesterday assembled in committee, and proceeded to a special examination and survey of the hull of her Majesty's iron screw steam storeship Industry, in dock at Woolwich, coated about 10 months ago, by way of experiment, with a granite composition alleged to preserve and protect the iron from rust and corrosion. The ship has since performed the voyage to Rio and Ascen sion and back, and had collected an unusual quan tity of barnacles and seaweed over the composition portions of which have been carefully removed to admit the performance of the survey. After apply ing the necessary tests and entering into the most minute examination of the new coating the com mittee were of opinion that th e proposed advantages had not been realised. Her Majesty's iron paddlewheel steamvessel Weser, 6, Commander Johnstone, was yesterday paid off at Woolwich. The Weser was commis sioned at the outbreak of the Crimean war and did good service as a gun vessel i n th e S ea of ' Azoff, in which her then commander, Lieut.. Commerell, and Quartermaster Rickard obtained the Victoria Cross and the Legion of Honour. A great majority of the service men are abo-qt to join her Majesty's ship Impregnable at Devonport. The ship was paid off in excellent Condition. Some of the ship's crew received as arrears of pay large sums of money, amountingin several cases to upwards of £lOO. The Melpomene, 51, screw frigate, at Portsmouth, is expected to proceed to Spithead from Portsmouth harbour this morning, although up to 5 p.m. yes terday her captain had not joined nor had the pen dant been hoisted. Mr. Albert, the mast n., has received his appointment to her, and is the sole officer on board at present. Rear-Admiral the Hon. G. Grey visited the Melpomene yesterday, and ex pressed his gratification at her state and appearance. Several names have been mentioned as her future captain, among the rest Lord John Hay. The Doris, 32, screw frigate, Capt. E. Heathcote. made yesterday another trial with her Admiralty screw, altered as described in The Sun of the 30th ult., at the measured mile in Stokes Bay, in charge of Capt. Gordon, commanding s t eam reserve, and under the superint en d ence o f Mr. Dinnen, Admi ralty Inspector, Mr. Murdoch, Inspector afloat, and Mr. Miller, of the Steam Factory. The mean of the runs (six) at the measured mile gave an average of rather over lit knots. Revolutions of engines : Maximum, 50 ; mean, 49.83. Pressure of steam, 211 b. ; vacuum, 25.5 ; pitch of screw. 26 ft. Sin. ; dia • meter of screw, 20 feet. At the conclusion of the taial the Doris steamed into harbour and landed her screw on the sheer jetty. It is stated that the Aboukir, 91 guns, to which Captain Schoen berg has been appoi n t e d , w i ll shortly be stationed in the Mersey, where its gallant commander will doubtless be very successful in enrolling volunteers for the navy, as he gained such general popularity during his residence in Liver- The launch of her Majesty's ship Charybdis took place at Chatham Dockyard yesterday afternoon, in the presence of a large number of spectators and under the most favourable circumstances The Charybdis was built under the superintendence of Mr. Laird, late master shipwright at Chatham, and his' successor, Mr. 0.

Willivis, will assume the duties of his post this morning. Yesterday morning the G battery of Royal Artillery, under the command of Capt. Du Plat, quitted Ipswich Barracks, where it had been some time stationed, for Aldershott. Col. Tulloch, Superintendent of the Carriage De- . partment of Woolwich Arsenal, who has, been con fined to quarters from severe indisposition for some weeks past, yesterday resumed his official duties. The Himalaya iron screw troopship, Commander J. Seccombe, steamed into Portsmouth harbour from Spithead yesterday at high water. The troops oa board are expected to disembark this morning. The 45th Regiment, which • has arrived home in this vessel from the Cape of Good Hope, embarked ou the 11th of February, 1843, from Cork for the Cape, and since August, 1845, has been stationed at Port Natal. The reserve battalion embarked shortly afterwards for Gibraltar, and thence proceeded to Monte Video, sharing in the operations of the Rio de la Plata. Thence it proceeded to the Cape, and was engaged throughout the operations against the Caffres from 1845 to 1853. In 1851 it was amalga• mated in the Ar;ny List with the headquarters, and became ene battalion, but did not join from the frontier until the 24th of April last. They are a remarkably fine looking body of men, and bear the highest character among their officers for steadiness, sobriety, and general good conduct. One officer stated that he had 62 men in his company, and that those men had upwards of £7OO in the regimental savings bank belonging to them. The regiment musters 632 men, and the average of-their services is 15 years. Several of the officers have returned after 16, 13, and 10 years' foreign service. The performances of the Himalaya during the past seven months have been something extraordinary, as during that period she has gone over 25,452 miles of sea, conveyed 5,244 troops, brought home upwards ( of 2,000 tons of old stores, &c. Her trip out to the Cape and back to England is the shortest on record —2B days 19 hours outward, and 29 days two hours homeward. During this voyage she has been fitted with Griffiths' patent propeller. In 1857 E in making the same voyage with the common screw, we are informed she was six days longer on the voyage than on the present Qccasion. The mail steamer Norman left the Cape for England nine days before the Himalaya. The following vessels were spoken by the Himalaya on the passage home :—On the 25th April, in lat. 35.5 S. long. 19.48 E., the Eng lish ship Pomona (painted white) ' • May 3, in lat. 28.59 S., lo ng . 10.5 E ., t h e Spanish ship Emigrant; May 14, in lat. 2.44 N., long. 16.28 W., the French ship Rose ; May 22,in lat. 21.48N.,10ng. 24.31 W., the English ship Macduff ; same day. the ship Lam merquir ; May 24, in lat. 28.1 N., long. 22.19 W., the English schooner Elizabetta ; May 26, in lat. 34.11 N., long. 17.30 W., the Eng'ish ship Flora; . same day, a vessel showing 3d distinguishing pen dant No. 4,180; May 29, in lat. 43.34 N., long 9.45 W., the English brig Ferronia. The West Suffolk Militia are to be embodied for their annual training on the Ist of July next, at Bury St_ Edmund's. The 2d West York Militia, under the command of Col. Smyth, M.P., will assemble at York for duty, till further orders, on the 27th inst. SOUTH PACIFIC MAIL. The Pacific Steam Navigation Company's screw steamer Cloda, Captain Sivell, from Callao, April 27, with 49 passengers, 221,847 dols. for Europe, and 17,225 dols. for Panama, arrived at the latter place on the 6th of May. The news is not of much interest. The Peruvian news is not important. From Ecuador we learn that the blockade of Guayaquil still continued without any immediate prospect of a pacific ar rangement. We copy the following summary of South American news from the Mercurio dcl Vapor of Valparaiso : " BOLIVIA.--As we observed in our former review, this Republic is undergoing a complete regenera tion, internal peace having been ensured by the splendid victory lately obtained by President Lin ares over the last remnant of the revolutionary party headed by General Agreda. " It has afterwards been known that ex-President Cordova, who was on the frontiers with the inten tion of co-operating with Agreda should his attempt be successful, retired to Puno as soon as he heard of the defeat; but he was there arrested by the Peru vian authorities, and obliged to retire to Cuzco, 80 leagues from the frontier, which has been appointed the residence of the political refugees from Bolivia. " President Linares continues displaying most generous and sagacious policy after his victory, so that even his enemies are obliged to admire him. " A national convention was about to be con voked, and before it Signor Linares proposes to lay aside the extraordinary power with which he has been invested during the late critical and afflicting situation of the country. "ARGENTINE CONFEDERATION. - Our advices from the River Plate provinces reach to the 31st April. " Excepting Mendoza, where* really extraordin ary events are taking place, all the provinces are quiet; the news of the Confederation's troops hav ing invaded Buenos Ayres has proved untrue. " The events in Mendoza may be briefly summed up as follow " The majority of the old house, inspired by some partisans of the former tyrant Rosas, organised themselves in one of the country districts, and in their turn appointed Governor Senor Sosa. " Governor Maza, knowing this, collected a body of troops and set out in pursuit of the refractory citizens. " At last dates both parties were on the point of fighting it out. Governor Maza's triumph will ensure that province the order and quiet requisite to its prosperity ; but should th e o ld tyrannical party prevail its ruin will be inevitable." _ .hief f CHILI. The followin g is from a Valparaiso correspondent : " Since my last there has been nearly a cessation of hostilities between the two contending parties for the government of this country. Gallo still holds Copiapo and Coquimbo. The Government is con centrating ill the troops that can be spared at a place in the north called Illapel. Every effort is being made to overawe Gallo by a show of forces ; but when it is considered that one-half of the troops are raw recruits, the result of an encounter still remains doubtf ; and if the party in power were as strong as they would make it appear, the revo lution would have been ended long since. It is now a month since the battle of Serena, and yet nothing has been attempted to make up for the disgrace of f deft. ot.e e es a a A v l e e a b n a N d v to i ein i ntr Conception enebtbem se l t v he G es in o t v b e e r Government Plaza, en while the surrounding country is held by Tirapegui, the chief of a guerilla band some hundreds strong.

The crew escaped on rafts, and a portion of the cargo came on shore, and will be sold for the benefit of the shippers. The vessel is a total wreck. Mr. Birac died 48 hours after landing, from exposure and fatigue. The captain, who was part owner, lost his papers and instruments. We have not heard whether the vessel or cargo was insured. The cause of the unfortunate loss was a leak, which, during a severe gale, increased to such an extent that the captain was compelled to beach the vessel, as the only means of saving the lives of those on board, or any portion of the cargo. It is stated that the prospectus of a company will be issued in a few days, for laying two telegraph cable'', from Cornwall to Canada direct, and that the proposed. capital will be £500,000.
