Intelligence received yesterday announces the
total lose of the ship Florence Graham, bound from

evening on Inch Her, Dingle Hay, on the west moat
of Ireland. The captain, mate, and ten men were bet, and
live saved. The clown of the Teasel—palm oil chief! ---

Liverpool.

Th.. following is an extract of a letter from Lloyd's agent
at Falmouth. dated Jan. 24 ,--" On Tuesday last the barque
Springbok, 416 tons, commanded by (b.ptain Shiell, bound
to Loodou from the Cape of Good Hope, with a rarg" of
wool and raga. arrived(olf here, and reported that her cargo
Was on fire. She was boarded by a number of hands, and
attempts were made to get at it, but without avail. The
neat .Icy she was taken in tow by a steam tug, and brought
into the harbour, and assiatanoe was rendered by 11) men
• 4. her Majesty's ship Howell, lying off the har-
bour, two gre.engines were brought alongside, and as
woo as the hatches were taken off they were got into play,
the water being directed on to the cargo, but the smoke
became so deem and suffocating that the men could not
work, and it became necessary to re-cover the hatches ia
the hope 011 stiffing the fire." By telegram received yester-
day we hear that the hatches were kept on during Wednes-
day night aad Thursday, when, on being removed, the are
in the cargo was found to have increased, and it became
iseteemry
se to scuttle the ship. She is reported to be in.

The court-martial on the officers who desecrated
the Great Mosque at Csiro, commenced to sit on the Ist
inst. at Cslcutta. Colonel Palmer is president, and the
members are three lieutenant-cologels, eight majors, and
two captains, besides two captains "in waiting." The
first officer on trial is Lieutenant William C. 4 Brown,
of the Bengal Artillery, and the charem, as given in
the icii:Aslimiss, is as follows :—" With having behaved
in a scandalous manner, unbecoming the character of an
officer and a gentleman, in having, on the 4th of April,
1860, at Cairo, wilfully mocked and insulted certain der-
vishes and other worshippers engaged in religious worship
is the great mosque of the town, during a kfahoniedan
!males], mid in having thereby excited and outraged the
feelings of the worshippers in the mosque, and the Maho-
radios assembled outside." The court would not allow
the proceedings to be reported.

The entrance ticket to the King's Theatre at
Turin is sly 2fr. 50c. ; the next theatre as to price is the
Scribe, where the charge is Ih. 20c. The best drama is
Turin may be heard for Md., and the charge in the minor
playhouses dwindles down to td. and even to 241., and, as
if that were not sufficiently low, admission may be obtained
by subscribing for the season to any of the theatres at one-
third and even one-fourth of the daily entrance price. On
such terms it is no wonder if people for whom a harbor or
drawing-nom fire would cast twenty times as much desert
their domestic circle for the playhouse. The whole popu-
lation, one would my, rendezvous at the theatre. It is the
place where nearly all social duties are discharged, and a
good deal of the daily business transacted. Ladies mid
gentlemen pay very little atte•utioe to their evening cos-
tume even at the Royal Opera-house, and none whatever at
the other theatres. You see as many bonnets and high
dresses as you see bare shoulders at the Scribe. The Turin
public have not yet come to smoking at the theatre by way
of enlivening the performance; "but I hear," writes a
Turin correspundeet, " that the experiment has been tried
at Parma, where several amateurs coolly lighted their cigars
• few evenings ego in the pit of the Opera-house—that
golden theatre which the lariat Durham Maria Louiaa of
Austria and the mad Duke Charles 11. of Bourbon bad
reared and embellished at so prodigious as expense."

" It is notified now," aaya the Ane;y awl Nary
ativtie, "to all officers applying for leave to travel on the
Continent, whether for plessure or for the study of their
profemion, that they will net be permitted to volunteer or
nun themnelvesi up in any way with the forces or nunneries
of any foreign power, so long as they hold a comminiont
from the British crown."
