-ARRIVAL OP THE PIRA.

The Pen arrived at Southampton on Saturday
with the heavy portion of the Australian and Bombay mails.
Her dates were—Already* March 29; Malts, April 1; and
Gibraltar, 6. She made the passage from Alexandria to
Southampton, a distance of 8,400 Ulu in ten days, 19 hours,
theiudiug stoppages at Malts and Gibraltar. Her voyage
wee so quickly made from Malta that the postmaster and
his arelatente on board had great difficulty in sort-
ing the mail before arriving at Southampton. The
Pere has brought home nearly two hundred preen-
gen, among whom me Indian °Mors and order,
Passer, Australian nabobs, and a large number of ladies
and children. The Pees having to being home the first
Australian mail under the new °retract, some fears were felt
that she would not arrive at Southampton in due rune on
seaplane of the °replicated mail service that had to be per-
formed. Three ship. had to leave three separate points, via.,
New South Weir, Bombay, and Southampton, on two given
days, Feb. 12 and March 12. One ship bad to run 8,900
miler, and the other two 8,000 mike each, and all three of
the ships had to arrive r *early as possible at
the same spot at one time. The Southampton steamer
reached A is, and the Bombay and New
South Wales stammer reached rasa, within a few hours
of re another. This ranarkabie punctuality enabled
the Pere to bring home her mails within ber contract thee.
The Pere experismor on her homeward passage fine weather
in the leeea; strong south-neat gaits, thick
weather, sod a heavy sea mom the bay; and strong west-
erly gales with dear weather up the Channel. Her Maiees7.le,
ships Marlborough, Conqueror, Centurion, Primes
Hibernia, Vulture, Medina, Argus, Rear; and Boxer, •
Russian three per, and a Turkish frigate with troops for
Task, were at Melts. The Victor Emanuel, (Mon, Leopard,
sad Gannet, a Madan screw three-decker, and the French
steam sloop Coligny, were at Gibraltar. From Egypt we
learn that the Bedouin Arabs bad opposed the stale out of
the Sete Canal and wire giviag math trouble to M. Iwmepy
the French engineer.

STEAM-MOP CountoN.—The particulars of a dis-
astrous coalition between two steamers, which resulted to the
sinking of woe ed the vessels, were reonved on Saturday at
Lloyd's. The General Steam Navigation Company's
steamer Bruiser, with panengere and a general cargo, from
London, was proceeding up the Tone on Thursday evening,
and when near • sharp angle in the river, some two mike
from Moonset* the Britannia steamer, for Leith, was ob-
mend coming down. Owing to the state of the tide, and
the position of a rand hank which extends some distance into
the channel, the ships apparently were unable to clear each
other, and the Bruiser @track the bow of the Britannia with
considerable force, and each wee the defamer of the injury
' that her fore compartment speedily began to with water,
sad she gradually settled does. The passengers and crow,
however, bad en ample opportunity to escape. The Bruiser
sustained bat trifling &maga, and proceeded to Newcastle
quiff. Attempts are Wog mode to raise the Britannia.

Pertinsalar end Oriental Company's new screw steal=
lead° left Southamoron on Saturday, under the co
of Captain Black, tor Stokes Bay, where her speed was
