that,

PLYMOUTH, FRIDAY, 9 r.m.
The Australian, Captain Hoseason, sailed for the
Cape and Australia yesterday at 4 40 p.m., and put
back leaky this evening at 6. With the wind at
W.N.W. she made 10t knots, and reached 60 miles
W.S.W. of the Eddystone, when, shortly after mid-
night, three feet of water were discovered in her engine-
rooms. This increased to four feet and a half, and
nearly extinguished the port-engine fire. The two
engine-room engines and the two injection pumps were
set to work, but with little effect. The ship was, there-
fore, put about at three o'clock, and on reaching smooth
water, the leak was reduced four or five inches per hour.
On entering the Sound she had three feet in the engine=
room, and her cog-wheel is a little out of order. A
very heavy gale prevailed during the night, and carried
away her port life-boat. The Australian will probably
go into dock to-morrow.

The New Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Peruvian
Loan for some time spoken of, has been announced
by Messrs. C. de Murrietta and Co. and Messrs.
C. J. Hambro and Son. The amount is 2,600,0001.,
and the object, the redemption of the existing 6 per
cent. English debt, and of a home debt of 600,0001.
bearing a higher rate of interest. The price is to
be 851. per cent., and the first payment of 20 per
cent. is to be made on the 9th of next month. If
all the existing 6 per cent bondholders exchange,
and they are offered 118 k per cent. in the new
stock, being some allowance, because the sum is
paid up in full at once, there will be about 780,0001.
to be subscribed by the general publics The entire
debt may be redeemed at par within 10 years. It
remains only to be seen whether the creditors will
come into this arrangement. Tho full particulars

The proprietors of the Australian Royal Mail
Steam Packet Company had a more favorable
meeting yesterday than was expected, and a divi-
dend at the rate of 5 per Cent. per annum being
declared, the numerous complaints made were
smoothed over. Doubtless the Company has great
difficulties to overcome in the outset, but unfortu-
nately it does not seem to profit by experience, as
is seen in the affair of the- "Australian" which
returned to Plymouth in a leaky condition yester-
day. This vessel was mistaken for the Sydney, now
overdue, and telegraphed to the city as such,
late last evening.
The Alert has arrived from Sydney, whence she
sailed on the Ist November. She brings about

ounces, and 34,4001., the latter all to Sydney and

FALL OF PART Ow DENBIGH CASTLE.--Much alarm
has been occasioned in Denbigh by the fall of a large
portion of this ancient castle. Nearly 40 yards of the soli-
masonry of its walls fell about nine o'clock on Saturday
night with a crash that was heard at an immensedistance.
A row of cottages built just below escaped, with one ex-
ception, without material injury ; but they were in great
danger of being overwhelmed, as huge fragments of stone
struck against them, and the gardens at back were
blocked up by the masses which fell. Large stones were
also hurled with. violence into the road, but fortunately
no injury was sustained. It appears that the western
side of the edifice is built upon a precipitous bank, and
it is thought that the long-continuous rains, succeeded
by the recent frosts, have loosened the soil on which the
walls stood, ane caused the unexpected downfall.
MURDER BYSTARVATION.—Ana gricultural labourer
t
named Cornish, has just been arrested, with his wife, at
North Common, a hamlet in Gloucestershire, the
murder the
murder of the son of the former. The condition of
corpse confirms the conviction which a number
starved
fcir-
cumstances suggest, that the boy was deliberately
to death. When weighed by the police, the body, that
of a boy 11 years old, weighed but 27
boy's life he was again and again seen picking out his
food from the troughs of the pigs' and once he was found
ere he had lain 20

covered with straw in a sty, "'
hours. The coroner's jury have
prisoners a verdict of " Wilful murder." lbs. During the
