EIGIIT NEW CRUISERS FOR THE CONFEDERATES.
—A despatch, dated Baltimore, Aug. 20, and which
arrived in Liverpool by the Persia, says :—" A German
mechanic, who has been employed for two years in the Coal-
federate navy department, in the construction of ironclad
vessels, states there are two vessels at Wilmington, North
Carolina, ready to run the blockade. They carry 24-
pounders, and are covered with 4 inch iron. Each vessel
carries 4 guns. There are also two vessels at Kingston,
North Carolina. Ono of them is named the Moose.
She oarries 24. pounders, and is to be commanded
by Captain T. F. Lloyd, of the Confederate States Navy.
There are also two vessels in the Pedee River, north of
Georgetown, both of whtch will be ready for duty in about
a month, and one of them perhaps sooner. One of them
is called the Pedee, Lieutenant Morgan, Confederate States
navy. commanding. The other is called the Marion, to
which no officer has been appointed as yet. Both these ves •
sels are clad with iron four inches thick, and each carries
four guns, 24 pounders. There is one ironclad building at
Plymouth, North Carolina. Her armour is 12 inches in
thickness, and she is to be ready for sea in two months.
She is to carry 12 pounder guns, and will be named the
Albemarle. This German also reports a new gunboat
getting ready in Richmond, which will be coated with
4-inch plates. One singular feature about the armamentne
of these vessels is, that not one of them carries guns of
a heavier calibre than 24 pounders.

reached Liverpool yesterday of the loss of the ship
Sea Park, and that the ship's longboat is missing 'with a
portion of the crow. The Sea Park, a vessel of 744 tons, was
built at South Shields in 1845, and she was the property of
Messrs. Hargrove, Fergusson, and Co., of Chapel-street,
in this town. She was commanded by Captain W. Bell,
and on the 15th of April last sailed from Cardiff for Callao.
Ga the 13th of July she foundered at sea in lat. 25 deg. 17
sec. south, long. 40 deg. 68 sec. west. The crew took to the
boats. The longboat which is missing, contained the fol-
lowing persons : Capt. W. Bell; Wrn. Gambles, carpen-
ter; Peter Radford, steward; James Rush, cook; John
Hutchinson, able seaman ; John Bourke, ordinary seaman.
The portion of the crew which got into the pinnace landed
at Rio Janeiro, and were thence forwarded by the Royal
West India Mail Steampacket Conkany's steamer Oneida
to Southampton. They arrived yesterday in Liverpool.
The Sea Park was insured with the Liverpool uuderwri-
ter's Association.

SUSPECTED INFANTICIDE.—On Friday, at an
early hour in the morning, two women called at
coffee-house in Woolwich and had some refreshments, after
which ono of them requested to be allowed to go upstairs.
On her return both parties left the house in a hurried
manner, and in consequence of some suspicious circum-
stances a search was made, which resulted in the discos cry
of the body of a newly-born infant secreted in the apart-
ment which the woman was allowed to enter. The pills
wete immediately informed, and pursuit was made, but
rwither of the feoaoiee lams yet beta hPereheatied.
