San Francisco, 27th May. Details of the partial destruction of three villages in Massachusetts (one of the American States) by the reservoirs bursting, are of appalling character. The reservoirs were in the mountains, and used for mill purposes in the villages below; the dams broke away, and a torrent rushed down upon the villages, sweeping everything away in its course. One hundred and eighty persons were drowned. The damage done to property is estimated at 1,000,000 dollars. Pour hundred families are rendered homeless. The American steamer Manchu has been wrecked in a gale in the Japan seas. Eorty-seven persons were drowned, chiefly Chinamen. The Hon. D. McLean, with Major Eopata, visited several public institutions (in Melbourne) in the company of the Governor.
