The Hon. Caleb Gushing, our ambassador
to China, left Gibraltar early in September,
in the Oriental, for Alexandria, under sa-
Lutte of fifteen guns from the garrison. His

The Repeal Meetings in Ireland continue,
and there is no abatement in the intensity of
feeling among the people on the subject
The Puseyite schsm has received heavy
blow of late. 1t was announced some time
ago that Mr.. Newman, the next great leader
after the learned doctor from whom this re-
ligious revival derives its name, had resigned
his living of St. Mary's, Oxford. The state
ment was received with crednlity but it
proves true. Mr.. Newman preached his
farewell sermon, on the Sd inst. and he will
now take leave of Oxford-perhaps the
Church altogether. 1t is stated that within
fine last three years no less than seventeen
converts to Romanism have taken place
among the clergy of the established Church
and others preparing for orders, through the
influence of Puscyism.
From an official report it appears that the
Roman Catholics have in India. China, and
the rest of Asia, SO Bishops, 30 coadjutors
1856 priests, and 2,3ll 200 members.

sengers and the sad intelligence of the total
wreck of the Memnon, from Bombay, at or
near the African coast opposite Alden. All
the mails were totally destroyed. The |
commander was Capt Powell, who, / believe
lost the Semiramis, on her first trip. Much
blame is attached to him on this occasion.-
She struck or reef after the commander
had been warned by the officer on watch of
the vicinity of land, and the consequent
danger. The mail was large, but entirely
lost; the passengers and treasure all saved.
She had on board ITO persons, who lost all
their effects. The vessel has entirely gone
to pieces, and nothing saved but five cases
of treasure, which were on deck at the time
ofthe accident.
