THE CITY OF GLASGOW STEAMER.

LIVERPOOL, Thursday.—Al private letter was received
hero this morning from a gentleman in Dublin, stating
that a clergyman named Babington, residing in the
county Derry, Ireland, had received a letter from a pas-
senger on board the above missing vessel, named Smylie,
stating that the vessel bad foundered at sea, and that
the passengers had been picked up and landed on the
coast of Africa,. This letter was at once placed in the
hands of the owners of the City of Glasgow, Messrs.
Richardson, Brothers, and Co., who, on reference to the
list, found there was agentleman named Smylie on board,
although it had been inserted in the published list as
"Smalley. It seems improbable that the passenger,
should have landed on the coast of Africa, as the latest
accounts (the 14th of April) make no mention of the oc-
currence. In order to relieve the public anxiety, the
fullest inquiries will be made by the owners, and the re-
sults published at the earliest possible moment.

the Prince Consort, accompanied by the youthful Royal

until Ascot Races, when a distinguished circle will be

ments, will embark from Lisbon for England on the 26th
