THE ELECTION OF THE LORD MAY OB.—The
good people of London will be somewhat amused at
the mode in which the recent election of their Lord
Mayor is announced here in the Government journal :
" Is nominated Corregedor of Londres for the coming
year, Joao Ilemsphery, maker of candles." The
editor adds, in a note, that " Corregedor" is the equiva-
leet for "Dare! Letter from Lisbon.

LOSS OF THE itEtAA:sce
EAST INDIA3IAN.
This ship, which is about 12 years old, was built
at Deptford, and was between 1,400 and 1,500 tons
burden. She has been trading to China for a number
of years past, and was considered to be a fast sailer.
Respecting the catastrophe itself very little infor-
mation can at present be obtained, owing to the gale
continuing and preventing the packet-boats from pro-
ceeding to sea with the mails. The spot where the
Reliance drove ashore is near a village called Merlie-
mont, a short distance from the French town of
Etaples, 32 miles west of Boulogne. The account
given by the inhabitants of Merliemont of the disaster
is that she drove ashore between nine and ten o'clock
at night, at low water, where she was subsequently
firmly imbedded in the sand, and upon the
tide rising the sea made a complete breach over her,
carrying with it the unfortunate creatures on board,
who never were seen afterwards alive. This state-
ment is confirmed by the report made by the British
Consul, who visited the fatal spot immediately lirn
being apprised of the occurrence, and rendered an
possible comfort to the survivors. Considerable sur-
prise has been manifested in the mercantile interest,
in consequence of the wreck having occurred on the_
01
French coast, the situation being completely out
the usual track, and at the same time carelessness has
been attributed to those who had the command of the
ship. Amongst many a supposition is entertain ht
that in bearing down the Channel the Boulogne lig t
was mistaken for the Dungeness light, which is ll°
at all improbable, and the vessel driven completely on
to the coast, ash:as occurred to many others.
Upon the intelligence reaching Etaples of the wreck
the, authorities of the town immediately dispatche°
company of horse soldiers to render assistance, we.
gether with several detachments of infantry to Ptrbe
tect the property saved from the vessel. During fed
whole of Sunday the beach presented a most anima
appearance, by the immense concourse of eers°flse in
