MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE AT SEA.

DUBLIN, THURSDAY EVENING.
The Northern 'nig of this day has the following
particulars of a calamitous occurrence which has
taken place in the Irish Sea :
VA,: regret to have to record a most melancholy catas-
trophe, one which, in its principal features, possesses a sad
resemblance to thn loss of the ill-fated steamer Victoria,
with its yet unknown and unnumbered complement of hu-
man beings. The accident to which we allude took place
on Tuesdayy• night, in the Irish Sea, some miles north of the
Calf of Man, during the voyage of the steamier Minerva
frail Liverpool to Belfast; and the facts, as we have
collected them from tho most authentic sources, arc as
follows:—The Minerva left Liverpool on Tared iy after-
noon, and hal proceeded on her voyage to Belfast to
about midway between the Calf of Man and the South
!trek Lighthouse, when a vessel war observed right under
her bows, and so close that to escape collision seemed im-
possible. The hour was about 10 o'clock, the weather had
been very hazy ; and the ill fated vessel had, it is stated,
shown no light, till the steamer's bowsprit was almost
aver her bulwarks. Then a lantern was raised up from
her deck; but, previous to that, we are informed, the helm
of the Minerva was put hard-a.port, the engines were re-
versed, and every effort ni ale to avoid the alision, but
without avail. Thoy came in contact with each other; and
us the space of a second the ill-fated vessel and her crew
were engulphed. No trace of either could to seen, notwith-
standing the most diligent searC.l. The chances that one
out of all on beard eseupel to tell the tale ore slight indeed ;
and it is probable th.t the name, even, of the vessel will be
unknown for mon•l.e, perhaps, years, to come.
The facts of the melancholy catastrophe are stated as fol.
lows by Captain Lyall, of the Minerva:—•• I regret having
to report an accident which has occurred, with, I pre-
same, :he loss of life. Oa Tmsilay, the 2011 instant, the
Minerva left Liverpool, at 2a. 4 int. p.m., on her voyage to
Belfast. At 10h. 45m. p.m., being then half-ways between
the Calf of Man and the Bluth Rock Lighthouse, a vessel
was nportcd at the head of the steamer, when every eats,
lion was made to prevent a collision, but unfortunately
without effect—neituer vessel nor crew could be rendered
any as•istaaee. She instantly dimppeared. All I could
observe was that she had two masts, arid that no light was
shown until immediately berme the accident took place. As
soon as the light was observed the helm was put hard a
port anal the engines stopped and backed, but rut with the
dasir.,l effect. One of our boats was, as soon as prac-
ticable, lowered, and every effort made, but no vestiges
were to be found. The Minerva has not sustained the
slightest damage. Arrived in Belfast at 4.50 a.m. on Wed-
needey."

THE PUNJAL'B.

The Lahore Board of Administration has been
abolished, and the goverrment of the ermine° 13.. en
entrusted to three commissioners—a chief, a judicial,
and a financial commissioner. To these offices rcs-
peetivelv Messrs. John Lawrence, It. Montgomery,
and G. P. lidmonstone have been appointed. Thie
commissioner hip of the Cis-Sutltj states has been
given to Mr. G. C. Barnes. The order against lad:es
visiting Cashmeer has been *winded. Some rain
fell at Lahore early in February, which had only set
the people longing for more, and had not improved
the state of the weather. Monsieur Mareadieu had
been appointed geological examiner in the l'unjuub,
and was daily expected at Litho*. Nothing has
been published from any of the frontier stati ms, and
it is therefore natural to presume that all has been
tranquil in those quarters, or we should have heard
to the contrary. The health of the troops appears to
have improved materially of late, and this will con-
tinue to be the case tilt the hot weather again sets
in, when the hospitals will again fill, and disease and
death become as prevalent as ever they were during
that period.

GERMANY.

The New Prussian Gantt* contains a detailed so-'
count of the conspiracy which was discovered id
Berlin on the 29th ult. In consequence of informa-
tion which the police authorities had received about
80 houses *ere surrounded and searched on Satur.
day lest, and about 40 persons were immediately
arrested. On the two following days a great number
of arrests took place, and there are now not less
than b 8 persons suspected of high treason in the I
prisons of Berlin. Some of the prisoners have for
a long time been suspected of revolutionary designs:
such for instance as Dr. Falkenthal, late presi-
dent of the Democratic Union in Moabit,
who was arrested together with his house-
keeper, and Dr. Collmann; Oehrke, a school-
master, who acquired some reputation in 1818;
Julius Behrends, late member of the National As-
sembly; Streckfuss, a tobacco merchant; Levy, a
merchant, late chairman of the Labourers' Conven-
tion ; Kunde, court cutler; and Geisler, overseer in
Hausehild's factory. A large quantity of congress
rockets and grenades was discovered under the floors
of the working rooms over which Geisler presided.
A hundred-weight of gunpowder, a great many coni-
cal balls, and small rockets fit to be fired from mus-
kets, were found in the house of Dr. Falkenthal.
\Weapons of all kinds, revolutionary pamphlets, Mar-1
zinian proclamations, and letters disclosing the details
of the conspiracy, have been found in the houses of
some of the other prisoners.
The Kreu: kitting goes the length of affirming
that the police have evidence that the arrested
persons had begun the construction of a regular ar-
tillery fo: the purposes of the revolution. On one of
the swords discovered the motto was engraves, " For
the freedom and rights of Germany." The dress in
which Kinkel escaped from Spandau was found at
Falkentkal's house.
A Vienna letter states that the Baron de Kubeck,
President of the Council of the Austrian Empire,
has received permission to resign, and that he will
probably be replaced by M. Kraus or M. Bach.

CUSTOIII3.—Mr. Culling Smith, one of the Com-
missioner. of Customs, nod the oldest e:i•ting member of
the board hu retired from the public service. It h be;ieved
that the lacing caused by the retirement of Mr. Calling
si,sith, and also that by the late retirement and subiiquent
&cease of Mr. Lushington, will not be fined up, thereby
effecting a reduction of two in the number of the board u
formerly constituted.

SPAIN.

Letters from Madrid of the 26th ult. state that the
council of ministers had not yet come to a decision
respecting the incident raised by M. Fahey, Minister
of Grace and Justice, with regard to the Senators,
functionaries of the judiciary order, who had not
voted with the government in the Narvaez division.
They had, however, resolved to dismiss all the others,
particularly the royal councillors—namely, General
Lahero and Lopez de Cordova, who was formerly
minister at Constantinople ; the Inspector of the Ca-
valry, General Shelly; the Member of the Supreme
Tribunal of Wur and Marine,General Count de l'e-

raeamp ; and the Director of the Rents, M. Marion
del Rey.
The committee appointed by the Chamber of De-
puties to examine the application for leave to collect
the taxes until the budget was voted had agreed to
grant the demand.

M IDRAS.

A branch fund is being subscribed at Madras in
aid of the home " Wellington Testimonial," to which
Sir 11. Pottinger has given 2001. and Sir It. Arm-
strong 1001.; numbers of parties setting down their
names for from 30/. to 101. The Governor and Com-
mander-in-Chief were both at the presidency. Col.
Vivian, the Adjutant-General, has entirely recovered
his health, and will not, it is believed, go home, as
at one time reported to be his intention. The in-
quiry into the burning of the ship Governor Higain
son has terminated; the committee are of opinion
she was destroyed designedly, but no evidence could
be had to bring guilt home to any of the Lutive
crew.

THIS DAY.—Two O'CLOCK.

Throughout the Stock Exchange to-day the great-
est inactivity prevails. Indeed business in all de-
partments may be said to be almost at a stand-still;
yet there is no diminution of the feeling of confidence,
and juices of all securities are well supported. Con-
sols remain quoted 991 to 100 for money and the
13th, but not a single time bargain is officially
marked. Exchequer Bills, June, have been done at
10s. 65., and lls. prem.; ditto March, 10s. and 6s.
prem,; India Bonds, 435. prem.
In the foreign stock market the only feature has
been a run in Mexican bonds, which have risen
rapidly from 261 to 27/. Peruvian Four-and-a-Half

ITALY.

The Official Milan Gazette of the 2Gth ult. an-
nounces that from that day ecclesiastical ceremonies
may be again accompanied with the ringing of belle,
and that the gates of Milan shall be again open to
the public as before, from five a.m. to eight p.m., but
that every person entering or leaving the town must
be provided with proper papers.
The same journal discloses that the late amnesty
at Mantua comprises only 53 persons. As a set-off
to which the Opinione of Turin of the 28th ult.
states that upwards of 40 inhabitants of Somme, in
Lombardy, had been arrested and conducted to the
fortress of Milan.
The Official Vienna Gazette lately published the
statement that the muskets seized by the Sardinian
government on the frontier, and which the emigrants
intended to use in the event of an insurrection at
Milan, amounted to 3,000. The equally official
Piedmontese Gazette, in contradicting this assertion,
says that the truth is, that the arms discovered on
the occasion, which were removed to the arsenal of
Alexandria, did not exceed 696. They consisted of
pistols, rifles, guns, B:c., of every desciiption of Eng-
lish, French, and Austrian manufacture, many of
which were unfit for use, and only proved that the
insurrection had no chance of succeeding.
The same official journal quotes a letter from
Genoa of the 27th, stating that an insurrectionary
movement was said to have taken place at Palermo,
which had been immediately suppressed. It was
added that five persons had been sentenced to death,
and 300 arrested. No date is given.
The Lausanne Gazelle publishes a rumour to the
effect that the Neapolitan government has sent in a
note to the Federal Council, demanding that the
military capitulations that have not yet expired shall
be respected, and that the prohibition against any
new recruiting for the Neapolitan army shall be re-
scinded; otherwise the Swiss now residing in the
kingdom of Sicily will be turned out of the country.
It is certain that King Ferdinand will do no such
foolish thing in Sicily as the Austrian has done in
Lombardy. That he wants more Swiss soldiers, and
is disposed to try every means to obtain them, is
natural enough. The number of Swiss enrolled in
his army is already 16,000, and these lie knows are
his reliable troops. Conciliation to Switzerland is
then his obvious policy.

William Newton, the matter of t-he Greenwich steam-
vesecl (Waterman 4) was summoned before Alderman
Lawrence, under the Act of the 14th and 15,h Victoria,
cap. 79, sec. 12, for having, on Whit Sunday, May 15,

The City Solicitor attended to prosecute, and Mr. New-
bon appeared for the defendant.
William Newnham, inspector of steamboats on the river,
proved that a certificate had been granted by the Board ef
Trade for the defendant'[ vessel to carry 347 passengers,
and that on Whit Sunday he was at Greenwich, and
counted 368 persons leave the boat, betide children.

GERMANY.

The ZollTerein was formally renewed with the in-
corporation of Hanover at Berlin on the 2nd inst.,
when all parties reciprocally ratified their previous
adhesion. The treaty for the accession of Patina and
Modena to the Amato-Prussian Custom's league has
-7ths, t'

been concluded for four years and nine moot that
being the period for which those states stipulated
their customs treaty with Austria.
The emigration of their subjects is giving consi-
derable anxiety to many, and in particular the
smaller of the sovereigns of Germany. While letters
from Bremen represent the tide of emigration as
surpassing all former years, letters from Frankfort re-
pot that the plenipotentiaries of the little states de-
mand that an emigration tax may be imposed, as
population is undergoing a serious diminution
through the departure of the people for America.
Already the south of Germany has furnished emi-
grants in number exceeding the entire population of
some of the German monarchies. The rulers of the
two Hewes are especially clamorous for repressive
measures against emigration. It is believed, how-
ever, that the Diet will not venture to move in the
matter.

THE UNITED STATES.

ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA.
or ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
(111011 OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.
The British and North American Its al Mail steam-
ship Cambria, Captain Lang, arrived in our river
this morning with the usual mails from the United
States and British North American possessions,
about seventy passengers, and specie to the
amount of 275,000 dole. on freight. By
this arrival advice@ have been received from New
York to the 24th, Boston to the 25th, and Halifax to
the 27th ult. The mails, per Cambria, arrived in
charge of Lieut. Boys, R.N., Admiralty agent.
The United States Mail steam-ship, from Bremen
and Southampton, arrived at New York on the 24th
May, and the British and North American steam-
ship Europa at Halifax on the same day; the latter
from this port.
By the arrival of the Cambria, we are in receipt of
intelligence from California to May I, though there
is nothing of interest to communicate. The reports
of the various mining operations still continue
favourable. Gold to the value of 21 million dollars
having been sold.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The money market at New York, still maintains the
satisfactory position mentioned in our last report, money
being generally abundant, and the prospects of trade, on the
whole, very satisfactory.
The stock market was rather inactive, though no material
variation in prices had taken place.
In the market for breadstuffs the, e had been little
doing, and prices had receded to a small extent, though the
alteration had been chiefly in the more common descriptions.
Western Canal flour, 4 dole. 50c. to 4 dole. 621 c. per brl. ;
Gennessee prime wheat, 1 dol. 24c. to 1 dol. 26c. per 601 be.;
Indian corn, round yellow, 68c. to 70c. per bushel ; Indian
corn, southern white, 64c. to 66c. per bushel ; Indian meal,
3 doh. to 3 dole. 120. per barrel.
At the departure of the Cambria the Cotton market at
New York was reported to be in an ezcsedir.gly depressed
condition. Sales could only be effected by holders sub-
mitting to a reduction, which they had been generally dis-
posed to do. N. 0. and Mobile mid fair to fair, 11c. to
Iltc. per lb.; Upland mil fair to fair, lie. to lltc. per lb.
The accounts received respecting the condition of the
crops were highly unfavourable; the exports were de
creasing, while the excess of the receipts was continuing.
The provision market was generally dull, and the quo-
tations previously reported had not been well supported,
a slight decline having taken place.
No change had occurred in freights up to the time of the
departure of the steamer, the rates demanded being still as
follows:—Freight of Flour to Liverpool, le. 9d. to 2.. per
barrel ; Grain, 6d. to 4d. per bushel ; Cotton td. to 5-16 d.
per lb.; to Havre, I to i cents. per lb.
Foreign exchanges were firm, though only in moderate
demand. Exchange on London, 1003 to 110; Paris, 612
to 14 ; Hamburg, 361 to 361; Bremen, 791 t 074.

this week are confiued to Indian Cain, of which the im-
port is I:beral—the trade has exhibited comider..ble seri-
! vity since last Saturdoy, and a fair amount e business
Ih. s been dune in most article, at improving prick s. For
Wheat the consumption is now large, and all qualities
must be quoted dearer by GI per barrel dui Mg the
week. Oats hove also advanced 2d. to 4d. per barrel,
but as these prices are above those of neighbour.
I ing markers, we doubt if they con be tasly maintaintd.
Barley without change; but Indian Corn, though in in-
cruised demand, rather yields in price; and we reduce the
top quotations 3d. per barrel on the week. Flour in bett• r
demand, and rcher !moons this week: Indian

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.-THIS DAY.

Messrs. Pattenden and Smith, Mop-Pactors, re-
port that the actounts received this morning speak of
fly having made its appearance in all the dietricti,
two to four on a leaf, and in sheltered situations
more, which has caused same activity in the market to-day,
and prices have an upward tendency.

METALS.—Mr. Moate's circular etatea that rally,
several thousand tons, have been contraeted fur during the
past week, principally on continental account. Maker, are
very firm and indifferent as to fresh orders at present
rates. Manufactured iron is
.more inquired alter for ship-

meet. Scotch pig iron has shown more activity; the low
price of the article is attracting the attention ofipecu-
lators and shippers; the price 1 off with an
upward tendency, at Ms. cash, buyers, and Os.
three months open. Spelter—seme very large trans-
editions have taken place; the market leaves off quiet
at 221. 51. on the spot, and 22/. 10s. for July and Augu-t
shipments. The stock is diminishing. Copper—A reduo-
lion of id. per lb. has taken place in manufactured, and
9L 101. per ton in cake and tile, making a fall in the article
from the maximum price, of 271. 10s. per ton. Tin con-
tinues in fair demand. Tin plates—the nrikers having de-
rarreined to reduce their make, the article is looking
Maw.

IRELrIN D.

DURIAIt. :INN 4.
The resignation of Nieman. S.dieir, 5t..... hr and
Monsell has, as might be expected, caused mutit
conversation here, and is almost the only topic
of discussion since the first intimation on the subiect
was received through the electric telegraph yester--
day. Vatrioos are the ways is which the course
adopted by those :entlemen is appreciated. Some
give Mr. Keogh, in particular, credit for an act of
courage in relinquishing his place with one almost
upon the bench ; but it must be confessed that the
public voice is far from being unanimous in favour of
him and his colleagues. The Telegraph, the organ
of that section of the Irish members who are now
stated to have seceded from the ranks of the govern-
ment, appeals to the country for reconciliation and
union, and begs with rather an imploring voice that
byegooes may be hyegones, and that all past dissen-
sions may bO forgotten. The Freeman seems more
than half inclined to meet the returning brigadiers
in that forgiving spirit, but says that pretty nearly
all the mischief which they could effect has been
already done.
An attempt will be made to get up meetings in
some of the parishes of Dublin to protest against
l-gislation on nunneries, and I perceive that one has
been announced to be held for the same purpose in
Clonmel.

Si: other deaths have resulted from the boiler ex-
plosion on board the Times, Dublin and Liverpool
steamer, making eight deaths in all up to this morn-
ing. and a number of those who still survive are
considered to be in a very precarious situation. All
the bodies that have been recognised appear to be
hose of Irish emigrants, on their way to America.
An inquest was held on two of them
.yesterday, and
the following verdict was returned—viz.: "We find
that William Thomas Taylor and Margaret Mulhane,
on theevening of the 2nd instant, when on board the
Times screw steamer in the Liffey, near the Pigeon-
house, were scalded to death by the bursting of the
boiler, caused by an imperceptible flaw down the lap
of the iron in the top of the boiler."
The price of admission to the Great Exhibition
will be reduced on Monday to one shilling, with the
exception of Wednesdays and Saturdays, when it
will be two-and-sixpence, as at present. The at-
tractiveness of the Exhibition daily increases, and
there are now but two or three departments in which
the arrangements are net finally. completed. The
number of visitors yesterday was 4,122.
The Court of Queen's Bench yesterday gave judg-
ment in the case of the " Queen at the prosecution
of the Rev. C. J. M'Carthy v. the Poor Law Commis-
sioners," in which the prosecutor, protestant curate
of St. Miehan's parish, applied for a mandamus to
compel the poor law commissioners to appoint him
chaplain of the North Union workhouse instead of
the Rev. Mr. Shaw, nominated to the office in room
of the Rev. Mr. Stanford, who had been removed
from it by the commissioners. The court decided in
favour of the poor law commissioners.

"Resolved,—That no dares of the Paris and Struboorg
Railway shad be bought in until further notice from the
committee."—June 1, 1853.

Messrs. S. Laing and Jas. Ashwell, two of the
directors of the Antwerp and Rotterdam Railway
Company. have Just issued a report containing the
results of their personal inspection of the works of the
line. The section of 21 miles from Antwerp to
Roosendaal will, it is stated, be ready for opening
this year; the whole of the line will probably be
completed early in the summer of 1854. As regards
the prospect of traffic, the directors' impression con-
tinues favourable. A call of 11. has just been made
on the shares of this line, payable by the sth July.
Numerous special railway meetings are being
called. Amongst these are a special general meet-
ing of the East and West India Docks and Bir-
mingham Junction Railway Company for the
lith instant, to consider the bill now in parliament
for raising additional capital, and other purposes.
A meeting of the East Lancashire Raila ay Com-
pany for the 20th instant, to consider the bills now
in parliament ; a meeting of tho London and
Brighton Railway Company on the 15th, to consider
the bill now pending in parliament, for the enlarge-
ment of stations, the formation of a branch railway
to the Crystal Palace, and the conversion of the de-
benture debt into stook. For the consideration of
seven bills now in parliament a special meeting of
the Great Western Railway Company is also called
for the 16th inst.

SPAIN.

Madrid papers of the 26th ult. state that a deputa-
tion of the Grandees of Spain had had an interview
with the Queen to present an address praying for the
re-establishment of an hereditary Senate, with a
system of entails. The Queen said she would refer
the address to her responsible advisers.
A commission of Catalonian deputies had an inter-
view with the President of the Council, to present
to him some observations on the recent reforms in
the tarifE

Addresses were being signed at Cadiz calling on
the government to persevere in a liberal commercial
policy.
The papers continue to speak of the severe distress
prevailing in Galicia, and of charitable efforts for its
relief.

-----
A letter from Madrid states that Lord Howden
was to leave on the 31st for Paris, and that on ac-
count of the state of his health, it is probable that he
will not return to Spain as British Ambassador.
On the resolution of the Royal Council to submit
the concession of the Northern Railway to the plea-
sure of the Cortes, and in the meantime to suspend
the works, the Debata remarks :
This resolution will have two consequences of great im-
portance. Henoeforward it will be extremely ditalt, and
perhaps impoesible, for Spanish ministers, be they who they
may, to undertake to treat of such affairs in the absence of
the Cortes ; and, if such ministers should still be found,
they will hardly findr capitalists so imprudent as to incur
the risks of an irre proceeding. Certainly the con-
struction of the No ern Railway is much to be desired
for Spain. The concession of the line was made by Bravo
Murillo at a moment when it appeared as if the constitution
was being violated by common consent. Yet, directly the
question of principle was raised, the force of law and right
triumphed over all administrative considerations, and the
judges have taken an account of the most favourable exte-
nuating circumstances. This lemon will not be without its
fruits.

words, "On the true faith of a Christian "
in the oath, and supported his opinion of tho
injustice of their operation against the Jews,
declines to propose their removal because the Lords
have declared against it, and he wishes to do nothing
which may impede the passing of his Bill. But the
Commons can amend this lordly production when
the measure reaches their house; and if such amend-
ment is so framed as to remove the bar which now
excludes an English Jew from Parliament, we shall
see if the Peers will subsequently reject the measure,
emanating as it does from a Tory ex-Chancellor.

PETERBOROUGH.

This committee assembled again yesterday. The
first witness called wu William Noble, the landlord of the
Eight Bells public-house in Peterborough. He said his
house was opened as a committee xoom in the interest of the
sitting member, Mr. Whalley. He received 51. from Mr.
Vergett for the use of the room. Did not think he was
i overpaid.
Joseph Smith, a beerhouie keeper, said he was canvassed
several times by Mr. Whalley, but told him that he had
promised to vote for Mr. Cornewall Lewis. Had one of the
circular,, addressed by Mr. Whalley's committee to land-
lords of public-houses, left at his house; that was after he
had been canvassed by Mr. Whalley. Ho was asked by Mr.
Whalley if he had a room to let ; he replied that he had not.
Cross-examined The Cornewall Lewis party issued
tickets to strangers, enabling them to have 10s. worth of
refreshments on the nomination end pilling days. He sup-
plied refreshments in exchange for some of these tickets to
the amount of about 7!. None of the persons who pre-
sented the refreshment tickets had any bludgeons, but
earlier in the day he had seen same of them carrying blud-
geons in the street.
Sarah Deacon, whose husband keeps the Victoria beer-
house, was next examined—Previous to the last election
Mr. John Miller and Mr. Noble called, and asked her
whether she would rather have a room empty, and be paid
for it, instead of one occupied. She said she would not;
they showed her a letter, but she would not look at it, and
told them to take it away. She refused to let the room.
Mr. Whalley came to canvass her husband several times.
Her husband 're ted for Mr. C. Lewis. Had applied often
for a spirit license, but had been unsuccessful. Mr.Whalley
told her husband that if he got elected he would get him •
license, and make Mr. Whitwell a magistrate.

Yesterday several persons were produced, who
deposed that they were prevented from recording their votes
for Colonel Vaudeleur by outrage and intimidation. Seve-
ral of the voters deposed that they had been locked up until
the election was over, and of course were unable to attend
at the polling booths. The committee adjourned to this
morning.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK LANE.-THIS DAY.

There was very little English Wheat fresh up for this
morning's market, and the arrivals from abroad were not
large. The trade was firm, with a fair amount of business
doing at the rates of Monday last.
Barley was in short supply, and fully as dear as before.
We have gond arrivals of Oats from Ireland, and fair
receipts from abroad, but little or nothing from our owa
coast. The demand was not active ; at the same time pur-
chases could not be made on easier terms than in the be-
ginning of the week.
Beans and Peas were firm at late rates.
