Duke of Wellington, 131 screw, Captain Gordon, flag of the Commander-in-chief ; Royal George, 120, screw, Captain Codrington, CB. : Nile, 90, screw, Captain R. Mundy; Hogue, 60, screw, Captain Ramsay ; Blenheim, 60, serew, Captain Mundy. With these were five steam frigates. -

Wc regret to hear that the gallant veteran eom mander-in-chicf is seriously indisposed.

STEAM TO AUSMALIA.-It ia with extreme

i egret that »e notice the fact that the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company have abandoned their Australian contract, the loss upon twelve inouthb working being, as we under-stand, not less than jC4(j,000. By the mail steamer just arrived it Marseille1! there were only three passengers from Australia. It is obvious that totally différent arrangements must be made, and that the colamos, no »all ¡au tim mothor counlij, must act liberally if steam communication is to be

maintained.-Sun.

THE BOMBARDMENT OF SEBASTOPOL.-Some idea of the terrific reverberation from the opposing batteries at Sebastopol on the day of the opening of the bombardment muy be formed from the state-ment of the respeotable master ofthe Glendalough, in writing home from Eupatoria to the proprietors of that fine vessel, Messrs. Graves and Son, of New Ross. He observes-"Although at the time 30 miles distant from the scene of the engagement, the ship was kept in a continual tremor by the un seasing cannonade at Sebastopol." The Glcnda iaugh was engaged in carrying provision stores from Eupatoria to Sebastopol, for the use of the allied annies.-JCilK-en.t»j Modeiator.
