had to be laid to, to make repairs The dates by
her are no later than by the Borussia.
The Persia passed the steamers Arabia and
City of Manchester, bound in. On. the 5th
passed the City of Baltimore, and on the 10th
passed the Africa, both bound east
The storm in which the Persia was disabled
was of the most terrific character. The crank
pin was broken on Monday evening at ten
o'clock, when two days out. She ''lay to +" un.
til the next afternoon, in the hope that the
her commander put back to Cork
After proceeding back one hundred miles,
the weather moderated, and the breakage was
repaired. The steamer was then put about
again; when reaching the same latitude in which
the disaster occurred, she encountered another
storm, more terrific than the first, but she gal
lantly ploughed her way through it uninjured,
except the crushing Of one of her wheel houses,
and reached this port in safety.
The Persia has the heaviest freight she ever
brought. She also brings 232 passengers,
among whom are Barney Williams and wife,

the pay of the revolutionary government, and
that captain had been killed while protecting
the nuns, had been received in Rome with hor-
ror and indignation. The Pope shed tears
His grief was increased by the announcement
of the death of Cardinal Balusti, and again by
the disasters produced at Norcia by the earth

distress. 1t was reported at Rome, on the 9th
