In connection with this line, it is .said that the eight ships of the European and American Steam Company, purchased by Mr. Lever and others far X 235,000, are not for the Galway Company, but have been taken, it is stated, as a private specula tion. It was expected the French government would purchase them, and possibly the private speculation may take that turn. In a late edition of the NORTHERN TIMES, on Saturday, we gave a brief announcement of the loss of the ship Pomona, from Liverpool for New York, with a naelanenoly loss of life. We have since received additional particulars, and from which it appears that no less than 389 persons have met a watery grave. y, with is of T i Chri led such a three pints of ale at night, and a pint of ale and two glasses of port wine before she died. One witness stated that, the deceased had drunk five quarts of ale in one night, and, another witness said, the deceased had taken, on one occasion, in one day, thirty-three half-glasses of brandy. The jury found a verdict of " Died from excessive drinking ' The Coroner said, he never knew of such a case, except one in St. John's Market, a fish woman, who never went to bed sober for years. He thought such persons ought to be treated as if they had poison. - On the body of James Sim, a sailor, who fell from the mast of a ship called the Genova, and received such injcries that he died in the Northern Hospital., Verdict, " Accidental Death." On Saturday, the 30th April, a meeting of members of the Clarence Cricket Club were called to appoint officers for the ensuing season. The following committee of manage ment were unanimously elected:—Benjamin Wardell, presi dent; A. Herdman, treasurer; John G. Elliott, secretary; James G. Elliott, and Richard Birling. Opening day on Saturday next. TOXTETH EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.—On Saturday, the members of this committee met in Mr. Avison's office, Cook street. Mr. Hughes, chairman, presided. There were also present—Messrs, Alpass, Avison, Siddely, Walker; and Mr. Monkhouse, surveyor to the rural board of health. The accounts of the collector and surveyor were presented and passed, so as to be submitted to the general board on Tuesday. The bye-laws, agreed upon by the committee, were ordered to be printed, so far as prepared, and then to be submitted for approval. Some trifling conversation took place in reference to the drainage of the property in Smithdown-lane, but nothing of public interest occurred. This was all that was before the committee. SUSPECTED MURDER AT BIRKENHEAD. Yesterday (Sunday) morning, about half-past two o'clock, a flatman, named John White, in the employ of the Bridgewater Trustees, and residing in Birkenhead, was found dead in the vacant piece of ground at the rear of the new North-end Bridewell. The deceased had been drinking freely during the evening, having drawn his wages in Liverpool. A man named Cartwright, in the same employ, had left him in ch arge a navvie, of whom, nothing is known. When found, the back part of the head of the deceased was cut, and from the severe wound, blood must have flowed profusely There was no money found on the deceased: Mr. Jennette, sur 1, viewed the body, but found life was extinct. A post • tion is expected to be held this day.

JAMES'S CHORAL SOCIETY.—This society, which is composed principally of the young men belonging to St. James's Church, gave a concert at the school-rooms, St. James's-road, on Tuesday last, when upwards of 300 persons Mr. D. C. Browne presided at the piano luctor, while the orchestra was ixty persons of both sexes. ~ as well as ruled as )t between ti 3 certainly praiseworthy throughout, and great credit is due to the tutor, Mr. Brown, for the proficiency of the pupils, who, especially in the solo parts, acquitted themselves in a manner highly creditable to themselves and their instructor. Mr. H. Mayer and Mr. T. J. Hughes, of the Philharmonic Society, contributed largely to the evening's proceedings by singing several well executed songs. The m os t noticable efforts of the society and whic . " Sinc a were rapturously encored, were the choruses, first I saw your face," " Hear, Holy Power," Hardy Norseman," and "O'er Desert Plains. " The proceedings of the eyeing were brought to a close shortly after half-past ten o'clock, the company haying signalised their approval of the proceedings by several enthusiastic plaudits. This is the third performance of the society, and another public performance is already spoken of. THE VESTRY AND THE MAGISTRATES.—On Saturday, the following magistrates were presiding in the centre room at the Police-court—Messrs. T. Rathbone, G. H. Laurence, C. J. Parker, and Mr. Earle—when Mr. Rathbone com plained of the inconvenience that the magistrates had been put to all the week, in consequence of the Mayor having 4 ven the second-court to the vestry authorities for the of holding their meeting, and the election of a -e. He did not doubt the authority of ..,yor to do so; but it was not only an inconvenience ,ne magistrates, but an injustice to them and the public, and he spoke on public grounds. In the first place, the room was too small and close for the transaction of public business ; and in the next place, there was not space enough for the accommodation of the people who came there on business, and it was found that much inconvenience, if not worse, had been done to the public during the past eek ; for it seemed that many had come to the court ~ re the vestry was being held, not knowing where the frates .were sitting, and their cases were decided in . This was not the fault of the magistrates, In injustice to the public. He hoped that, in future ' the court would not be g i ven f or ves t ry purposes. Mr. Laurence agreed with the observations, and said there were plenty of places where vestries could be held besides the court-house. Mr. Wybergh said the council were directed to provide proper places for the vestry, and no doubt many proper places could be had for that purpose besides the court. Mr. Laurence thought the church was the proper place to hold vestries. Mr. Earle was of the same opinion. Mr. Rathbone thought St. George's Hall could be had for that purpose. Messrs. Earle and Parker wean of the same opinion. Mr. Rathbone said, having put the facts before the public, he trusted the court would be preserved for its legitimate purpose in future.

On Saturday, we received and published a telegram, announcing officially, that the Austrians had c no, and had actu- ;eci th ally commenced hostilities ; and, yesterday we re ceived further telegrams ; and one from Berne, dated Saturday, states that the Austrians occupied Intra and Palanza, on Friday, and cut the telegraphic wires communicating with Switzerland. The same telegram also states, that hostilities have commenced at Novara, the Austrians having seized several Sardinian vessels on the Lago Maggiore. Another telegram, from Turin, datGd Saturday, reports that. the Austrian troops, which had been concentrated at Pavia, in Lombardy, entered the Piedmontese territory, on Friday, in three bodies. One body, as it appeared, passing through Gravellona, to the south-east of the Novara ; a second taking the road through Abbiate Grasso, penetrating during the night to Casale ; and a third disembarked, on Saturday, at S a. and The corps d' imont by Gravallona, is said to Anions and f eight battallions of e noon, oil Saturday, the Arono, on the Lago Maggior which entered IF consist of tw cannon At al advanced posts were at Vespolato, in the province of Novara, and a still more numerous corps cram& was on its march from Vigevano, by Mortara. An official bulletin was issued at Turin, on Saturday forth that the Aust were concentrated at Pavia, marched in large bodies towards It is further reported that General APMahon had arrived at Genoa, and that troops have quitted Genoa en route for Allessandria. Such is the substance of the news received during the last twenty-fi hours evening, setting who had lotara. ThrA h reach I us at an earlier period embraces some important statements. Amon, is the positive contradiction, on the author Prince Gortschakoff, of th them existence of a treaty offensive and defensive between France and Russia - , and in reference to which the Morning Herald, speaking evidently upon the authority of the British Cabinet, says :—" We have the highest authority for stating that no secret treaty or convention has been signed between France and Russia The Russians have merely agreed to place 50,000 men in observa tion on the Galician frontiers of Austria, and out of this in all probability was concocted the false report that has spread consternation in commercial circles, and caused the ruin of hundreds."

She left New York on the 14th inst., and St. John's, Newfoundland, on the 21st. No tel e g ra p hic message from New York was received by her. The Adelaide sailed from Galway, on Saturday, at 8 for St. John's, Newfoundland and New York, having I'm board 550 passengers, a fair cargo, and heavy THE INDIAN REBELLION. WE believe that, although in the midst of a season of great political excitement, the occasion of publicly returning thanks to Almighty God for the sup pression of the rebellion in India, was pretty generally taken advantage of, yesterday, —more particularly by the Established Church, where a Form of Prayer and Thanksgiving was provided. In the words of the Order in Council, it was a Thanksgiving " for the con§tant and signal successes obtained by the troops of her Majesty and by the whole of the forces serving in India, whereby the late sanguinary mutiny and rebellion which had broken out in that country hath been effectually suppressed, and the blessings of tranquillity, order, and peace are restored to her Majesty's subjects in the East." And doubtless our gratitude and thanks were eminently due, for what had been effected, through the efforts of the forces serving in India But we must question tilt is it for granted that " ti propriety or yeu blessings of tranquillity, order, and peace -4 in India. There has a great. a Ire really restore, uuva But the made towards such a state of things. very last accounts still tell us of rebellion, of disor der, and of war. One of the latest telegrams announced, as regards Oude, that a large body of rebels, supposed to be an advanced party, had entered the Toolseepore territory,—that the main body, with the chiefs, were said to be at Bootwul, about twenty-five miles of the Toolseepore boundary, —and that they were believed to number about 1 5,000. As respects Central India and Rajpootana, Tills DAY —Adam and Eve acrobats, &c, the telegr lm said had been .eceived from CI , e that the Rao Sahib, with 2,000 cavalry. had an Chund .ee district, —that arrangeme a made for pursuing him, and tY received both from t 1 , that ived in the ats had b overtures of surrender had been Rao and FEROZE SHAH, who are both said to be anxious to come in And as regards Rewah and Bundelcund, the same telegram commun sated, that Brigaclif.

In a great measure this may, no doubt, be considered to be the case ; but not wholly. And we cannot but think that it would have been better had it been officially stated with some qualification.

On Saturday we published, in our extra edition, the following information respecting the wreck of the Pomona, off Wexford : " WExponp, April 28.—This morning a ship was seen on Blackwater Bank. Since then her masts have been cut away. 29.—The ship is the Pomona, of New York. A boat came on shore from her with sixteen persons; another was upset, and four lost. The tug-steamer is now coming into port from the wreck. The ship has beat over the bank, and sunk in nine fathoms of water. The Pomona, Merrihew, sailed from Liverpool to New York on the 27th inst., with 375 passengers, and a crew of thirty-two. Three passengers and seventeen of the crew saved. The Retriever (tug) has been despatched to the scene of thQ sad disaster." Yesterday we received some additional particulars of this sad affair. It would appear that the Pomona struck on the Black water bank and sunk in a few minutes. The captain, mate, and second mate, as also the shipping master, Cun ningham, are amongst those drowned. The agent of Lloyd's at Wexford, writing to the Underwriters' Rooms, Liverpool, on Friday evening, says : " I have just returned from the coast near the sad disaster of the Pomona. The ship has sunk in about ten fathoms of water, on Blackwater Bank. The top of the mizenmast shows over water. Only seventeen seamen and three p'ss sengers are saved by the boats that have landed. Four females and a young man were washed ashore with air belts upon them. They were dead, and apparently of a respectable sphere in life." The same gentleman (Mr. Harper) says, as to the cause of disaster :—" It was unfor tunate that the master let go the anchor when she got on the bank. She would have drifted into shoal water in a short time." Nor further particulars are as yet to hand ; should auy arrive during the day, we will publish an extra edition of the same The Wexford Independent furnishes the following particulars :--- " Since Sunday morning we experienced severe gales from the S.S.E., with a heavy fall of rain on Wednes day night, which continues still with but little intermission. The gale was at its highest on Thursday morning, when the dreadful catastrophe, it is onr painful duty to record, took place. The United States ship Pomona, Captain Merrihew, with a crew of thirty-five men, and three hundred and seventy-three passengers, principally Irish, left Liver pool on Wednesday, the 27th instant, bound for New York, wind S.E. to E., a wholesale breeze---and proceeded favourably on her voyage, until she struck on Blackwater Bank, at four o'clock, a.m., on the following day. In about eight hours after striking, she worked off the bank, the sea making a complete breach over her; the foremast and mainmasts having been previously cut away, the mizen was left standing. Her port anchor was let go in ten fathoms water, with sixty fathoms cable, but the vessel con tinuing to make water, the long boat was launclud, with seven of the crew, only two of whom effected a landing, the other poor fellows being washed out and lost. The quarter boat was then launched, with fourteen seamen and three passengers, who landed in safety ; but when about three miles from the ship, they lost sight of the latter, which they supposed went down, which was unhappily the case, with all on board, amounting to 389 souls---the crew and passengers making in the aggregate 408, out of whom only twenty three were saved. "We have the above melancholy particulars of this dreadful disaster from the active arid efficient agent of the Ship wrecked Mariners' Society here, James R. Crosbie, Esq., who derived the information from two of the survivors, Charles Jackson and Henry Miller, seamen, who, with the others that were saved, were provided by our worthy fellow townsman with comfortable lodging, and all other necessaries befitting their situation. Among the lost are the captain of the ship and first and second mates. "On the shipwreck becoming known here, the steam-tug Erin proceeded to the port of Roslare, but the sea was so bad, and night setting in with a dense atmosphere, it was useless to proceed. At four o'clock p.m. on Friday morning, with the new life-boat in tow, she proceeded to the north end of the Blickwater Bank, and found the unfortu nate ship sunk in nine fathoms water, Blackwater Head bearing W. by N., and Cahore Point N.E. by N., about one and a half miles inside the Bank. Her mizen mast-head appeared over the water, with the Ainerican ensign, union down, still flying, but the life btruggle was over. This the crew of the l'fl.boat brought with them. , They report them selves entirely pleased with the execution of the boat, which inspired them with entire confidence in her see qualities " SECOND EDITION. NORTHERN TIMES OFFICE, MONDAY, 6 A.M. AMERICA. Owing to the late hour at which the Canada's mails were delivered, we were unable to publish the following in our first edition : Puerto Cabello advices of the 2nd ultimo are received; The country was in a state of revolution. General Garvaez had been routed by Pinto, and some negroes killed. General Garvaez had a force of 500 men, but was short of arms. Gen. Zamora had plundered San Filipe of $lOO,OOO worth of property. Puerto Cabello was in arms, and the stores closed half of the time. Troops were landing from the east. By the arrival at New York of the schooner F. Taft, Captain Bunker, from Savannah la Mar., Jam., which port she left March 27th, we learn that the insurrection had been put down. A British steamer had arrived, and landed 380 troops, for the protec tion of the inhabitants and their property. The objectionable toll-gates had not yet been rebuilt, but at a meeting of the magistrates, held on the 26th, it was decided that it should be done at an early day. The ringleaders in the late affair had not been arrested. The port was quite healthy. In the Echo slaver case, at Chariest in, the evi dence for the prosecution had closed. No testimony for the defence was offered, nor any cross-examination of witnesses for Government. It was proved by the testimony of Lieut. Carpenter, Coxswain Monaghan, and Captain Marfitt, of the U.S. brig Dolphin, and by other parties, that the negroes on board the Echo were found in a very distressed and suffering con dition ; that Capt. Townsend was a native of New port, R.I. ; that the condition of the vessel, when captured, was extremely filthy, and that the charts. found in possession of the Captain had marked upon them, in pencil, a continuous line from the coast of Africa to the point of her capture. Another Free-state convention is called in Kansas, to meet at Big Springs on the 3rd inst. Ex-Gov. Stanton has returned to the territory, to reside per manently. A company of 1,200 miners is at the Kansas gold mines, but some fifty only are at work. Most of the party are engaged in building houses on the various town-sites. The Indians are gathering in great numbers in the neighbourhood of the settlements, and their presence excites apprehensions of trouble. New army orders have been issued, positively pro hibiting settlers from selling ardent spirits ; forbid sales of sutler's Atores to enlisted men, on credit, for any sum exceeding one-third of the soldier's pay for the current month ; suspend the construction of new buildings at any military station, except those which can be built by the labour of the troops ; limit the number of privates for regimental bands to sixteen, to be deducted from the legal standa r d o f th e severa l companies; ord er the immediate assignment of all enlisted men to regiments ; and render obligatory the consent of parents or guardians to the enlistment of miners. Twenty cases of small pox are reported in the village of Columbia, Henry County, Alabama, and the disease was spreading rapidly to other counties. Murderous riots among the firemen of Philadelphia are of so common occurrence as hardly to excite remark in that city. One of a more than ordinarily serious character, however, occurred on Sunday, the 17th ult., in which two or three individuals were shot, probabiy fatally. The riot grew out of an old grudge between the Shiffler and the Moyamensing Hose Companies. One of the men was Robert Thompson, Secretary of the Moyamensing Hose, and another was John Capir. A despeaate fight occurred on the same day between the Reliance Engine and the Humane Hose Companies, in which several persons were very badly hurt. The police succeeded in arresting some half dozen of the leaders. A Washington letter in the Boston Advertiser of the 20th April say, in relation to the Nicaragua treaty : The amendment to the Cass-Trissari treaty provides that the United States shall engage t o use due vigilance and all lawful means to prevent the organisation of hostile parties in this country intended for the invasion of Nicaragua. While some prominent gentlemen look upon this as a reflection upon our good faith in carrying out the neutrality laws, and as unnecessary, others are disposed to regard the ':- . nosition of Nicaragua :light as the ratification as an evidetiCe of t:1 to cultivate friendly relations with us, aaucuUlll.ll. is , 1G is not certain that it will be acceptat,.. the Administration, which has not given to it due conside ration. With regard to the efforts of the British authorities to revive the obstacles to the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, pre. appearances, if not the assu rances , are suc h as not to change the belief that there will be a favourable solution of the question. It has heretofore been confidently stated that the Paraguay fleet had been ordered to Central America, but. such does not now seem to be probable, although several of the vessels will be sent to the Gulf, when they shall be again put in commission. It is considered that there is sufficient force in Central America for all practical purposes. Lorn Napier and family had left for Annapolis, where he would take his passage in the British frigate Curacoa for England. COMMERCIAL, NEw YORK, April 19. The Weekly Averages of the Banks of the City of New York, on Saturday, April 16, 1859, present in the aggre `-‘ the following changes from the previous exhibit of April 9 Increase in Loans $103,172 Decrease in Specie 270,560 Decrease in Circulation 155,002 Decrease in !Indrawn Deposits The Bank movement of the past week it will be noticed, was a very even one; steadier in respect to loans than was anticipated. The Specie average, owing to the receipts from California coming into the account late in the week, and after the large outgo by the Persia, is slightly lower. The statement, altogether, excites very little remark on the Street, owing to the quiet ruling of the Money Market. The impression is that the mercantile Discounts proper are on the decrease at Bank, and at the same time there is no increased offering of . paper to outside lenders. There is a fair business to-day in demand loans at 4to 5 per cent. Exchange for the Boston steamer opens steady at 1091 to 110 on London. A moderate trade business through the standard banking-houses, and but few transient bank bills offered uuder 110 per cent. French Exchange is quiet.
