LORD COCHRANE.

r1P....-

After all that has been said for sometime about Lard
Cochrane's departure 'or Greece, some asserting this to
be the fact, and others as firmly denying it, there csnnot
be a doubt now that he has actually sailed for that
country, and we should think, at all events, that
the expedition has been undertaken, with a distinct
understanding, on the part of the Greek Govern-
anent, ha conjunction with the Greek Committee in
London, of which we believe Mr: Home is presi-
dent, that his Lordship should have the chief com-
mand, at least, of all the naval forces: lie did not
sail in a steam vessel, as has been reported] though Om
accompanied him out some distance, and two or three
of considerable force will form part of the squadron:
We should not be surprised if his plan would-be to
imitate Carthage, when she attacked Rome on her own
territory—a mode of attack which the Romans under
Scipio retaliated with such effect afterwards on the •
Carthagenians themselves.. Nothing alarms an enemy
more than such a species of warfare; but in what light
the Turks and Bashas with whom England isin
and in profound peace, MAT view such a mode of at-
tack on the part of an English Captain, it is impossible
to say.—Moraing Herald.

LOSS OF THE COMMODORE HAYES.

Caunta, Fn. il

We regret to have to state the loss of the ship Com-
modore Hayes, on Tuesday, by flue. She was jint
ready for sea, being laden with rice, chiefly for the
Mauritius. The first indications of fire on board ap-
peared about nine o'clock, and every a.sietance was
immediately rendered by the Harboar Master, aided
by Mr. Sinclair, Branch Pilot. The fire commenced in
the bread room, which had been recently lined with
Dhurma mats, to receive the bread for the ship's com-
pany; the steward having gone to see if it was ready,
left his candle in the place, whilst he went in search of
assistance to make some purposed alterations, and during
his absence the candle fell and set fire to the mats; the
fire spread with great rapidity, throwing out such vo-
lumes of dense black smoke that it was impossible to ap-
proach or follow its progress. In order to prevent the
flames communicating to the other vessels in the river,the
pilot slipped the cable, and ran the vessel aground at
Sulkeah Ghat, where she was secured ; about eleven
o'clock the flames burst forth on the upper deck, and
the masts and rigging were speedily in a blaze: she
continued burning throughout the day, as well as the
greater part of yesterday. We under.tand that the ex-
ertions of Captain Milner and Mr. Sinclair, and of
Captain Moncrief, the Commander of the vessel, were
entitled to the greatest praise. A few articles of com-
paratively small value were saved, but the whole of the
cargo has been destroyed.

Innumer.—A Coroner's Inquest was held on Monday
afternoon, at the Unicorn, Malvern, before Mr. Hill, Co-
roner, on view of the bodies of Miss Hill amiss Helen
Woodward, who were killed on Saturday op the top of
Malvern•hill, when the Jury returned their verdict of
—Killed by Lightning.
Twenty to thirty of the Queen's County centtabulary
have been peremptorily dismissed last week, in conse-
quence of an order to that effect from Dublin Cattle.
Thursday-eveninic a man named Nestor, from the
neighbourhood of RllasKettry, Ireland, while walking
in that village, was attacked and beaten with acmes In,
several persons,who, it seems, had a grudge against him;
he was so severely injured that be died in about three
hours after. Serjeant Dann, of the Constabulary Police,
stationed there, instantly apprehended three of the prin-
cipals, against whom there is positive evidence. A ver.
diet of wilful murder was returned against four of th
barbarous miscreants, one of whom, named Hicfr
is in custody.
