AMERICA AND GERMANY.—Two additional mail
steampacketa are about to run between Bremen and New
York, in conjunction with the steamers Washington and
Herman. The first a the new steamers will, it is expected,
start from Bremen on the Ist of August next. There will
then be a fortnightly communication between New York
and Bremen, and a monthly one between New York and
Havre. The American mail pockets from Havre call at
Cowes, on their way to New York, and are invariably
crammed with the most valuable merchandise and the most
profitable freights ; and the American ships from Bremen
which call at Southampton are laden with as valuable a
passenger freight. For years past the German emigration
to the United States has been going on, and is even more
remarkable than Irish emigration to the same country once
a month the Washington or Herman steamers convey from
Bremen nearly 200 passengers, and thousands of well-to-do
Germans have within the last few years been carried to the
great western republic.
EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.—Oa Saturday last,
the Goldtinder, one of the Fox line of packets, sailed from
Liverpool with 676 passengers for the Australian ports. The
Tasmania, one of the White Star line, will also leave the
same port in a day or two, with upwards of 440 passengers.
LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—This forenoon, about
half-past 11 o'clock, the British sad North Americvn Royal
Mail steamship Niagara, Captain Leitch, sailed from her
moorings in the M. rsey for Boston and Halifax, with the
usual mails for the United States and B h North Ame-
rican possessions, 1.511 passengers, and a large cargo of valu-
able merchandise on freight. Her mails were CA ' d out
in chug, of Lieutenant Wards, R.N., Admiralty agent.
BATHING CASUALTIES.—Lott week a gentleman,
named Pitt, a resident of Jersey, visited with his family one
of the bathing establishments in that island, and seeing
apparently something the matter with two bathing machines
that were in the sea at some distance, took up a telescope,
by means of which he discovered that the machines were
filling with water from the flowing tide, and that the boys
and horses attending them were vainly attempting to drag
Ow latter to shore. Mr. Pitt rushed into the sea, and met
one of them, which had been dragged out of immediate
danger. It contained two ladies, one of whom jumped into
the water, and reached the shore in safety ; Mr. Pitt went
to the us,idance of the other lady, but as she was out of
danger she begged him to go to two ladies in the other
machine, which wee filling, and Ilcely to topple over. Mr.
Pitt accordingly walked and swain towards the second
machine, which contained a mother and daughter. At the
request of the latter, he saved the mother, by swimming and
dragging her out of deep water: and then returned to the
assistance of the daughter ; he was, however, too exhausted
to swim with her to @bore, but other assistance was soon
*heisted, and the whole party were got safe on land.
