LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Four o' Clock.
• We regret to announce the decease of Mr. Patrick
Maxwell Stewart, member of ptudiamentfor Renfrew
shire, after an illness of about fourteen days. This
melancholy event took place on Friday last, at Car-
nosh House, Stirlingshfre, the residence of• the{
Dowager Lady Shaw Stewart. Mr. Stewart was
chairman of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam
Navigation Company.

We have received letters from Cowes, informing us
that during a dense fog yesterday, her Majesty's steam-
frigate Cyclops, and the Peninsular and Oriental
Company's steam-ship Pottinger, went on shore in
Thorness Bay, within a quarter of a mile of each
other. It appears that the Pottinger, on her return
voyage from Alexandria, neared the Needles at an
early hour, but, in consequence of the fog, and having
no pilot, it was considered advisable to reduce the
speed, and stand off. The weather having sub-
sequently cleared, the steam was put on, and
the Needles passed, but shortly afterwards the
haze having returned, the speed was once more
reduced to about two knots an hour, and it was while
progressing at this rate that the vessel struck on a
mud bank, the shock being so slight that few on
board were aware she had grounded. It was
attempted to back her off, but the engines would not
work. The mails and passengers were landed in the
course of the day at Southampton from a small steamer.
As soon as the tide receded the Pottinger heeled over,
but not se much as to occasion any alarm. We have
no particulars of the stranding of the Cyclops, except
that she was proceeding to the westward, when she
struck on a bed of shingles, where, on the fall of the
tide, she lay so much on her broad-side that some
apprehensions were entertained for her safety. No
casualty occurred on board either vess:l.
The Prussian Eagle, a large steamer trading be-
tween ; Southampton and Cork, was also on shore
yesterday morning off St. Alban's I lead, but having,
been lightened was got off.
Since the foregoing was written, intelligence has
reached town, from Southampton, by the electric
telegraph, stating that tke Pottinger has been got off,
and will be in dock this evening.

We have received papers from Sydney, New South
Wales, to the 27th Juuc, but the intelligence they
furnish is unimportant. The latest news from New
Zealand is to the 4th of June, at which date all was
quiet. Governor Grey hnd been met by a large
assemblage of chiefs, but Ileki was not of the number.
Two more individuals, one of them a sergeant of the
3fith Regiment, had died of wounds received during
the conflict with the natives in the Hutt Valley,
making the total loss eight killed.

When the Royal Tar left Lisbon, on the 24411 kat.,
the anxiety was great to learn the result of General
Salazar's attack on the rebel force which had fortified
itself at Evora. It was to have been made the pre-
vious day, and in the present state of the country
much would of course depend upon the issue of the
first conflict. In the capital itself active measures had
been taken to raise a sufficient force for the exigencies
of the service, not, however, with very great success.
The Queen had withdrawn from the Bulem Palace
to the Necessidades, within the walls, and the lines
round Lisbon were being put in a state of defence.
Bandeira, the late War Minister, had escaped to
Coimbra, where 1,500 men, detached by Count des
Antas had arrived from Oporto, and more troops were
I expected from Viscu and I..,amego. Notwithstanding
the progress that the revolt was making in almost all
11 quarters, the Queen remained firm, probably
calcu-
lating on some foreign intervention. Don Miguel
had been proclaimed in several places; so that while
the Queen's authority was admitted at Lisbon a
Democratic Junta ruled at Oporto, and a .Iliguelite
Junta at Benatiel. In ease the latter party should,
by any chance, prevail, then an is,tervention would be
legitimate, under the treaty of the Quadruple Alliance.
A letter from Lisbon, dated noon of the 24th, says
that General Salazar had been defeated with great
loss by the rebels at Evora, and that all the authcri-
ties had been obliged to fly from Santarem, the people
having revolted. The British squadron, under Sir
W. Parker, left Cadiz on the 22nd, for the Tagus.
The news from Oporto is to the Dith, at which date
the neighbouring provinces were in arms, and the
insurgents were in possession of the government
steamers as well as the city.
