We lhank Mr Jago, her purser, for files. The " Madras Mail" of July 10 thus gives particulars ef a sad shipwreck, of which we had a brief notice in our last English telegram : — " We regret to learn by special telegram that the Souvenance, which sailed from Pondicberry some months ago with four hundred and fifty coolies on board, for the Antilles, foundered off the Cape of Good Hope at the end of May, and that all on board were lost. The term of the convention between the French and English Governments regarding Coolie emigration having expired before the departure of the Souvenance, an application was made by M. Bontemps, the Governor of Pondicherry, for an extension, but the Madras Government are understood to have refused their assent to the proposal. Whoreupon, M. Bontemps made a private reference to Lord Napier, and, it is alleged, obtained his lordship's sanction to the evasion of the conTention. If these rumors are correct, the Secretary of State for India will have to call upon his Excellency for an explanation of the evasion, which has virtually resulted in the loss of nearly 600 lives." The " Hobart Town Mercury" of Sept. 7 says : — As Hobart Town is, of course, not a little interested in whaling, and in all that relates to the subject, we may notice that an important change is pending in the case of tho American whalers which fish the Arotic Sea. These vessels have hitherto made Honolulu, in tho Sandwich Islands, their rendezvous. There they have transhipped their oil when full shipa, and refitted for other voyages ; and the money thus spent gave a very great impetus to the capital of the Sandwich Islnnds. The opening of the Atlantic and Pacific Railway, however, is bringing about another state of things. The ships, when ready to discharge, are now to bo ordered to the port of Oakland, in California. The company are to furnish trucks or oil cars on wheels, into which the oil is to be discharged alongside the wharf at Oakland, and these cars are then to bo run along tho line to the storehouses of Now Bedford, the rate of freight per giillon to be only Beven cents ! It is calculated that an immenso saving in the cost of the transportation of tho oil will thus be made, while the trains will also carry to the ships the articles they need direct from the stores of tho owners. There will also be a great saving of time in the Bending home of the oil. Tho change will greatly prejudice business in Honolulu. The U.S. mail steamer Nebraska arrived at Melbourne on the evening of tho 21st ultimo, after a fine passage of 47 hours from Sydney. She was advertised to sail for Sydney, Auckland, and Honolulu on the 25th. The p.B. Wallace retnmod from Oamaru on Saturday evening, and brought with her the carpenters who had been at work in getting the barque Premier off the rocks. As previously Btafod the barque got off on Friday, atid was safely moored with 40 fathoms of chain. Unfortunately the pumps could not feeep her clear, and she became waterlogged, and commenced to drive down towards the

position of the landing service j so, to clear this, her cable was slipped, and she drove ashore opposite the flagstaff, about amilofrom where she went ashore on the rocks. Little or no hope is now expected of getting her off, as the position she now lies in is exposed to the full force of an easterly sea. The pluck and energy of the contractors, Messrs Thomson Brothers, deserved a better fate. This last attempt was the third made, when, under great difficulties, she was floated j but, 88 the contractors had to bring the vessel to Port Chalmers, they have lost all their time, &c, for nothing.— " Otago Daily Times," Ocfc. 2.
