THE REV. DR. WoLFF.—A. letter has been received from Dr. Wolff, (dated Erzercum, Jan. 17th, addressed to Captain Grover, in which the writer gives an account of the following atrocities committed in Bokhara :—" As long as that horrid fellow Abd-00l Samet Khan is at Bokhara, nothing will be of any use. Every Englishman's fate is sealed—he must die. The following persons have been murdered at Bokhara :—Lieut. Wyburn, of the Indian Navy; Lieut.-Col. Stoddart; Captain Conolly ; one whom they call Freshaw ; II Cavaliera Naselli ; a German ; five Englishmen, outside Icharr-Joo ; a Toor. coman, who came to Bokhara to attempt the escape of Colonel Stoddart; Ephraim, a Jew, from Mesked, who was sent to Bokhara to make inquiries about Captain Conolly ; and a Turkish officer." The Doctor gives a melancholy account of the misery he endured on the journey from Bokhara until his arrival at Erzeroum. IcuaboE.—Advices have been received at Glasgow, from Ichaboe, to the 3d January. The Thunderbolt had returned to the island. The accounts state, that, on the day above-mentioned, an attempt was made to break up the monopoly which had been established by a body of ship-charterers and supercargoes, who had established themselves on the island, and were carrying on a brisk trade in guano, shipping it for themselves, and selling it to others on the spot. About 2,000 men raised the flag of freedom, rallied round a leader, and commenced with picks and shovels to supply their respective ships, working vigorously, and without interruption, for several hours. At last an armed party from the Thunderbolt steam-frigate was landed and took possession of the pit where theywere digging. The commander of the fi igate had ordered all work to be suspended until the affair was inI vestigated.  DISCOVERY OF A NEW ISLAND IN THE PAcigic.— The New York Courier and Inquirer publishes the following account of the discovery of a new island in the Pacific Ocean, by Captain Simmons, of the brigantine Faith : —" Captain Simmons was on his way from Sydney to Valparaiso, and, after leaving Otaheite, first saw it on the 31st of October, 1843. Seen from the deck of the vessel, the island had the appearance of a mass of rocks, but a nearer approach showed it to be an island, covered with cocoa-nut trees, with thick underbush. When convinced that it was an island, Captain Simmons supposed it might be one already known, and at first mistook it for Carisfoot. To be sure, however, he lowered his boat and attempted to land, but was prevented by a reef of black coral rocks, with heavy breakers, which surrounded the island. He went completely round it, however, and found it to be about six miles in circumference. At a short distance from it he found no sounding in sixty fathoms of water. After examining it for two or three hours, as thoroughly as he deemed necessary, he steered for Carisfoot, according to his reckoning, made it in the course of a few hours, and passed to the south of it. A large lagoon was in the middle of the island, which seemed to be rich and fertile. On reaching Valparaiso, where he remained for some months, he waited upon the commander of the British squadron, and informed him of the discovery. He examined the most recent English charts, but no indication of such an island was to be found. It is situated in the track from Otaheite to Valparaiso, in south latitude 21 degrees and 10 minutes, and west longitude 138 degrees 54 minutes. He named it the Isle of Faith, from his vessel."
