The mail steamer Pera, which lately left Melbourne, has a very valuable cargo, comprising specie and gold to the value of L 630.602 sterling, made up as follows : — 75,6560z of goH, L 221,050 in specie, and L 101.299 from Sidney. The ketch Alert, which left Hayelock for this port on Sunday week last with a cargo of timber for Messrs Fell Brothers, was boarded on Monday last by the crew of the ketch Thames, off Forsyth Island The Alert was found to be waterlogged, and she had been abandoned by her crew. The Thames, which was bound for Wellington, took the Alert in tow, and took her to Clove Bay, in Pelorus Sound, where she now lies beached. The crew of the Alert, who had leftitheir vessel in the ketch's boat, were picked- up by the ketch Unity, Norgrove, master, and were landed at Havelock. — Maribmough Times, 22nd May. William Short, chief engineer of the steamer Mikado, was committed to the lunatic asylum this afternoon (says the San Francisco' 'Bulletin of the 18th March). For some weeks past he has been morose and taciturn. At times he has been an inmate of the Home of the inebriates, and since the steamer arrived in port, for the past thirty hours was confined in a straight- jacket. _ The cause of his confinement in that institution is not apparent, in view of the statement made by the captain of the steamer, that he is of temperate habits. He is a powerful man, probably weighing not less than 3001 b It required the united strength of several muscular officers to keep him within reasonable bounds of behaviour.
