Tho E»r»pc«H 1 nnes-, o! the 20th April, has also, in its list of departures H.M.H.S. Yirago, from Portsmouth, April 18th for Australia. We think, however, that tula must be a mistake a3 no mention whatever has been received by the Naval authorities on this station of that vessel coming here. SHIPPING DISASTERS AND LOSS OF LIFE. (From the Europe,in Times.) The bhip Imperial, which lias just arrived in the Mersey from San FlMncisco, reports encountering feartul weather in the Channel. On the 'iSthshe saw a large ship in a distressed condition, with it signal tl\ thatahe wanted " immediate assititance. A schooner was laying to under tho stern of the disabled ship, and a large screw steamer was also close to. A quantity of wreck, consisting of cabin turmriire, chair?, i c., was also priced in the Channel. J r.O steamer Calpe, which ling arrived at Liverpool, b»ewise reports terrible wer.ther off the Irish const! On the 28th Mar.vh, in lat. <50-55 N. JG.6 52 "W., feli in with a vessel, of about, S-',O tons, dismasted; the bulwarks and deck pbinking were carried away from me windlass to the stern; the deck beams wore ' out," the rudder was adrift ; the two bower anchors wore down, which kept, (be vessel's head almost under water. Ho far as could bo seen tho cargo had been washed out of the ship, and there was' nothing J, '? 'tdicate the name of the nationality of the Qerehet. When the vessel was first seen, "Tuskar bore -WE. about 82 miles. Tho fate of the crew is unknown. Thcv Ship Chowinghce, 781 tons, Captain Tatchall, -longing to jlr. Kobiuson, of London, from Swansea, with coals and bricks for Coquimbo, put into Plymouth Sound on the3iet. Off Cape Finisterre, .mle lying to, a man fell off the foretopsailyard the sca i he secured a lifebuoy, which was fluDg

to him, and the gig with four hands went to the roscue. Not returning for soino time, the pinnaeo Ovor tho ship's side, manned, and went in search. Aftor an absence of two hours, she roturncd, and her crcw reported that they had seen tho gig bottom up. No doubt all live n'nfortunatoly perished. The ship Alice Jane, from Uahia, which has arrived in the Clyde, reported having encountered very heavy weather in the Atlantic, and being com pellcd to throw a portion of her cargo (sugar) overboard, in order to ease tho ship. On the 2Sth nit., in lit. 52 -10 N., lon., 16.30 W. Bho foil i n witli tho French brig Diosma, from Belize to Havre, laden with logwood and sugar. ller masts wero standing, and she was making but little water, tho bulwarks on tho starboard quarter had, however, been swept away, but boyond this tho vessel seemed to Jiavs sustained but little damago. The brig was boarded, and it was evident that tho crew had abandoned her very precipitately, as the compass, sextant, timepiece, barometer, and a quantity of maps, &e., wero loft behind, all of which wero taken on board tho Alice Jane. Tho Spy, which arrived at Q.ueonstown on tho 3rd, from Minititlan, reports having met with severe weather in the Atlantic. All the boats, bulwarks, Sec., were carried away ; and on tho Ist ult.,- one of tho 6ailors—the naino is not given—was swept overboard and drownod. Advices were received at Liverpool on tho 3rd, that three ships, tho Georgo Haynes, from Hong Kong, the Flora M'Do:uild, from Callao, and the Hanoverian ship George \ r ., has been burnt in tho harbour of -Valparaiso, and the crcw arrested on charges of incendiarism. Yast quantities of wreckage are still daily cast on shore on tho Corni3li and Welsh coasts. At Portreath, Cornwall, timber with tho words Cumberland and Patrie, has been picked up on tho beach, and tho bow of a ship, Soft. long and covered with copper, has been thrown on the beach at Valog, near Aberystwith. The Henrietta, fr«m Malta to Quccnstowii, is reported as abandoned at sea.
