Loss OF 4 BRITISH SHIP OF WAR on THE
COAST OF MosoUIro.-The British ship of
war, Wolverine, II guns, 428 tons, Com
mander Corbett, says the Panama Star,
was lost on the Moquito coast, near Blue
fields, q shost time ago. The crew were all
saved, and II, B. NJ. sloop of war Buzzard,
was despatched to bring them to Jamaica.
The Wolverine was built in 1886, at Chat
ham. and came to the West India station
last year.
MOVEMENTS OF Cot. kINNEY-A CORE
spondent of the Star writing from Grey
town under date Of the Goth Sept, says:
"A party of twelve men were drafted bv
Col. Kinney three days ago, for the explo-
ration of the Indian river. They are fine
set of fellows, under command of DR.. White
head, and will give good account of them
selves. Indian river takes its rise in the
gold region Of Chontales, and empties into
the sea above San Juan
This afternoon there was a mass meet
ing Of the citizens. Nearly all the old set
tiers were on hand. Capt. Benz. Mooney
was elected President; Colin Campbell and
Amadee Canine, Vice Presidents; and A.
NJ. G. Wood and Dr. j. A Sutherland Sec
retaries. Capt. Mooney stated the object
of the meeting, viz: the formation of a gov
ernment for the protection of life and prop
erty, etc. Col. Kinney was called out, and
made one Of his good, common sense, prac-
teal speeches, which won all hearts. VIII
liam II. Young, ESQ, late of Texas, follow
ed with few timely remarks. Then Sc
ries of resolutions was offered and adopted,
defining the officers of government, their
powers, etc. And afterwards, Col. II. L.
Kinney was chosen by acclamation Civil
and Military Governor OF San Juan and its
territories. This don't look much like
shooting or pursuing him to DEATH
INTER OCEANIC SHIP CANAL.-We learn
from reliable source, says the Panama
Star, that some enterprising citizens of the
United States and New Grenada have dis
covered and explored the long sought route
for connecting the Atlantic and Pacific
| oceans by means of a ship canal. This
great deSideratum to the commercial world
is certainly the most grand and important
enterprise of this fast age, and is worthy
the attention and consideration of every
civilized people and government. The plan,
as we understand it, is to go up the Atrato
river about fifty miles from its mouth,
with depth of from six to ten fathoms;
and from thence to the Pacific, a distance
Of some sixty miles more, without single
rock or other obstruction in the contempla-
ted canal. A liberal grant has been made
by the Government of New Grenada to the
persons engaged in this grand undertaking
aud the whole route, from one ocean to the
other, has been accurately surveyed, and the
facts developed are beyond doubt or ques-
ton, so far as the feasibility of the route is
concerned.
The Georgetown news., 1855-10-11

ETIQUETTE.-The Yankee out West who
wrote home to his mother that he had seen
a "live Hoosier,' has sent her another epis-
tie, on Western etiquette-Here it is:
Western people go their death on etl-
quette. Y ou can't tell man here he hes,
as you can down East, without fighting. A
few days ago, man was telling two of his
neighbors in my hearing, a pretty large sto-
ry. Says [, Stranger, lay there? and in
the twinkling of an eye, I found myself in
ditch a perfect quadruped, the worse for
wear and tear. Upon another occasion,
saws | to a man | never saw before, as O.
woman passed him, That isn't a specimen
of your western women, is it?' Says he,
You're afraid of the fever and ague, amt
you?' Very much,' said 1. Well said
he, that lady is my wife, and if you don't
apologize in two minutes, by the honor of
a gentleman | swear that these two pistols
which be held cooked in his hands; shall
cure you of the disorder entirely. So, don't
fear, stranger So l knelt down and apol-
ogized. admire the Western country very
much, but curse me if l can stand 50 much
etiquette"
The Georgetown news., 1855-10-11

The STATE PRIsoN.-Probably nothing
can better illustrate the efficiency of the
present management Of the State Prison,
than the fact, that since the control of that
establishment was assumed by the State,

his escape, and telegraphic despatch re-
celved last night, conveys the intelligence
OF his capture. The individual in question
