Foreign News.

The new Steam Ship Hibernia, arrived for
the first lime a, Boston, on Thursday last, after
a rough passage of fifteen days, from Liver
pool, with upwards of 100 passengers. The
news is ten days later, but contains very lille
Of general interest.
The most important. is The loss Of the steam
ship Solway, which sailed from Southampton,
England, on the Isl of April, bound for the
West Indies. She was wrecked on reef, off
the Island of Sisarga. The acciden, occurred
al midnight, on the 7th, after she had been a
week at sea. 1t is supposed that many Of the
passengers went down with the vessel, as there
was no time left 10 launch the boat which was
kept on the paddle wheel. Those who were
saved in the long boat, escaped with no clothes
except those they stood in, and many were al
most in a slate of nakedness. Immediately on
the vessel striking, she pitched considerably
foremost, and as soon as the cold water reached
the boilers they collapsed and blew up. This
is the third steamer which has been lost by the
Royal Mail Steam Ship Company, in few
months The Medina, was wrecked off the
Turks Head in January, and the Isis, moro re-
Gently off Bermuda.
The British arms continue 10 be triumphant
in India; but the conduct Of their general is
said 10 be any thing but crediiable either to
himself or his country.

pie all aloof. II was shortly TO make its first
trial al initiating the birds.

Virginia Election.

The election for Members Of Congress and
the State Legislature, ia The Old Dominion.
took place on the 24d Of April, bu, the returns
come in so slowly, that we have not ye. been
able TO ascertain The exact result, Sufficient
however is known TO enable US to say, that the
Wings have behaved nobly At the late ses-
sion OF the Legislature, the loco focos dstricled
the State in such gerrymanderlng manner,
that they supposed The Wigs would not be
able TO elect more than one Congressman. In
this, they have been mos, egregiously disaP-
pointed. The Whig spirit was aroused, and
they turned out in their strength Contrary TO
all expectation, or hope, We have carried Sir
out of the fifteen Members. That stern patri-
OF. John A. Bolts, has been defeated. His
dis,ric. was largely loco, having been framed
for the express purpose Of defeating him. Yet
notwithstanding this, he came within a dozen
votes OF being again chosen. The traitor Wise
is reelected, but by very meagre majority.
r. NJ. Il. Hunter, another deserter, is defeated,
and good Whig fills his place. For Mem
bers Of the Legislature, the Wings have also
gained largely. Last year the majority against
them was thirty. four,--,hi year it will be no
more than six or eight. Another such effort,
and Virginia will be redeemed.

Dreadful Accident.
Explosion of the boiler of the Steamer Harry of
the West


A correspondent, wiring from Louisville,
under dale Of April 23d, gives the particulars
Of the loss of the steamer Harry Of the West,
on her way from New Orleans TO ST. Louis on
the 10Th. Having shipped forty cords of wood
at point forty miles below Memphis, on the
Mississippi river, she was about leaving the
bank, when Two fues of the second larboard
boiler collapsed One of the firemen, who
stood directly in front OF the boiler, was blown
overheard and lost Another was found dead
on The fore-casie deck. Several of the hands,
including the two cooks, are missing, besides
some Of the deck passengers. One cabin pas
singer is also missing. Another had his jaw
broken in two places. Another was badly
bruised, and injured internally by steam. A
deck passenger, with twelve hundred dollars in
gold in a belt round his person, jumped over
board and was drowned alongside the boat,
leaving his wife and child on board saw
four other men floating down stream, holding
on to drift wood A skifr from a fiat boa, put
off after them; but whether they were saved
or not cannot say. Nor was i, known, nor do
think il ever will be known, how many, all
told, are lost. The mate had his leg broken in
two places. Another man, also, had his leg
broken. Five or six of the hands attached to
the boat were badly scalded-somc of them
very severely.
The steamer Gray Eagle was woodhg, at
the time Of the accident, about three and half
miles above the Harry of the West She i'm
mediaiely came down to our assistance, took
the Harry Of the West in tow, and drew her TO
Memphis.
