Galaeho, of H.I.M.S Mageua, in lately towing a dismasted ship (the Ethiopian) into Sydney harbor, has met with the following approval j' a Sydney : —From the Government, a piece of pl a t e and for the crew £75 ; from Captain Faulkner oa the part of the owners, a gold chronometer watcV and £50 for the crew; from the insurance office itj Sydney, a claret jug and salver ; from the merchants a letter of thanks ; and from the.shipmasters a letter of thanks. The latter reflected somewhat on H, B officers of H.M ships in Sydney harbor for not pro. ceeding to the assistance of the Ethiopian when s| le was seen off that port in a dismastod state.— Mel bourne Argus. - "Visit of the Italian War Frigate Magexh to Melbourne. —The Italian war scrow steamship Magenta, 2500 tons, 517 hor3o-power, reached Mel. bourne from Batavia, on May 4th. She is a cobi. paratively new ship, and was built at Leghorn in 1864, and is now on her first cruise. She is of for. midable proportions, her length being 230 feet, hat beam forty-five feet, and her depth twenty-two feet while her tonnage-is of the aggregate of 2500. She carrie 3 no' guns on her main deck,- but her lower deck is pierced for twenty guns, all of the same calibre--, namely, sixty-eight pounders. With the exception of two pieces having the unmistakeable English broadarrow on them, trie others are all of Swiss and Italian manufacture, and possibly on an emergency • might be quite as effective, if properly worked, as any elaborate VVlntworth or more formidable Armstrong. The Magenta has- a screw propeller driven by two power, ful engines of 517 horse-power (combined), made and fitted by Perm, of London, and their performances are highly spoken of by her politest of chief engineers, S. Colitzi. The crew of this large steamer number 300 all told, with sixteen officers; but their swartli complexion, and slim physique, are very disimilar to the bluff hearty expression and appearance of tlie British man-of-wai'sman. They are very well discip. lined, however, and the Royal salute of twenty-one guns which the Magenta gave shortly after anchor, ing was fired with precision singularly in contrast with the spasmodic response made by the shore batteries at S.andridge. In case of disaster at sea, the Magenta is well supplied with boats, one in particular being fitted up as a steamer with twin screw propellers. — Argils. The ship True Briton, 1200 tons, cleared out; a(, Melbourne for London, on May 4th, taking upwards of 250 passengers, and a large cargo, 43,650 ounces of gold being part of the latter. • .- •■ Actkay on Board a Ship.—The Melbourne Argus of May 6th, states that the chief officer of the Clara Morse has been seriously wounded in an affray with the cook. It appears that the two men were having some words about the provisions, when tha cook drew his knife, and stabbed the officer twice in the face and once in the neck. The officer then got hold of the blade of the knife, which the cook dreir .through the man's hand, cutting it to the bone. The cook is in custody, and the officer is under medical treatment. . -
