Atabout two o’clock on the morning of ‘bat day she came in collision, betwoen ‘Tuekar and Holybead, with the bark Leander, of Bath, Maine, bound from Liverpool to New Orleans, with a small cargo of salt. The bark sunk in five minutes. Mrs. Curtis (the captain’s wife), the second and eight seamen were drowned. The captain and eleven others wero saved by the steamer, which was only slightly damaged.

GREAT BRITAIN. tm the House of Commons, on the 10th uit., Lord John Buesell’s bill modifying Parliamentary oaths, so as to ad- ‘mit of Jews taking them, was debated, and read a second time, On the 1th ult., in the House of Tords, Farl Carnarvon aeked when the government intended to introduce into the ‘Bouse of Commons their new Reform bill. Ear! Granville said the bill would be introduced in the course of the seasion, but he was not prepared to fix the date. Due notice, however, would be given in the House of Commons. Ear! Grey presented a petition from the Fast India Com. pany against any change at prosent in the government of India, and gave his concurrence to the views entertained by the petitioners. Far! Granville said the government’s only wish was to Place India under tho direct control of the Crown—an in- dependent Council would still be retained. In 'be House of Commons, Mr. Bright presented a peti- ‘6 on from 5,000 citizens of Birmingham in favor of Parlia- moctery reiorm. Lord Palmerston intimated that it was not contemplated to appoint a Minister of Justice, and that no steps had een tayen for the establishment of a system of public prosecution.

The motion was agreed to after some debate. ‘On the 12th ult. the proceedings in the House of Lords ‘were unimportant. In the House of Commons, Sir Geo. Grey, in response to inquiries, said that the evidence offered by the French government of the complicity of Mazzini, Ledra Rollin ‘and others, in Pianori’s attempt on the Emperor's life, ‘was insufficient to justify proceedings against those parties, ‘and that the British government had declined to interfere. Lord Palmerston explained that so far from Louis Napo- Jeon having paid the legacy bequeathed by Napoleon the first to Cantillon for an attempt to assassinate the Duke of Wellington, an application for it had been rejected on the ground that the testator must have been in a state of mental aberration when he made the bequest. A part of the bequest was paid under the Bourbon régimé. Lord Palmerston moved for leave to bring in his new India bill, to transfer the government of India from the India Company to the Crown. He explained that the bill Proposed was confined to changes in the administration ‘and orgarization of the company, which it waa intended should in future be centered in the imperial government. ‘The alterations proposed were to be as little as wes con- sistent with the object the government had in view, name- ly, to make the advisers of the Crown responsible for the covernment of India. It was proposed to abelish the Court of Directors, and in lieu thereof to establish a Council to be mainly composed of persons who had been in India, or who knew Indian ‘well—the Council to consist of eight persons, out in rotation every two yoars; the oouncil would be appointed by the power of the President would not extend to finance.

Mr. Ullman issues the fellow ing card jn relation to the productian of the ‘‘ Huguenots: — ACADEMY OF MUSIO—TBE ‘¢ HUGUENOTS’’—A FEW WORDS TO ‘TE PUBLIC. Thave given you the jongest and most brilliant season of grand opera that has ever taken place in America. I have had to struggle against greater obstacles than any other manager. I allude to the late financial revulsion. The direction of the opera has always involved great risks un- der ihe most prosperous circumstances; you can, there- fore, easily imagine how much I had to work to achieve the gratifying result I have obtained, in spite of a monthly outlay of over $25,000, occasioned through the production of so many grand and comparatively new operas by a company so numerous and costly. In bringing out the “ Huguenots” in the style which will distinguish the work, I have taxed my resources to the utmost. The new scenery and dresses alone cost over $6,000, and the general expenses of extra chorus, extra orchestra and extra rehearsals will swell this amount to fully $10,000, This exceeds, by many thou- sands of dollars, the largest sum ever expended on any opera given in this country. From present appearances, and the actual inquiries for seats and boxes, even before the day of the first perform ance is definitely fixed, there is no doubt that this opera will attract immense audiences for many nights, but how- ever full the houses may be, I cannot make my expenses at present prices, and I cannot but lose by my attempt to pring out a celebrated opera in a style fully equalling that of the first opera house in Europe. Will you permit this? Assuredly not, or I am grevtly mistako@ im the proverbial liberality of the New Yorkers. Every manager has been in the habit of taking one or more benctks during the season, For reasons, which it would be too long to detail, I consider this custom more honored in the breach than im the observance. 1 intend appealing to the public in another, and what] velieve to be a mcre rational shape. I request the public to pay, on such nights when the “Huguenots ” is given, $1 60 for the admission ticket, instead of $1, as on other nights. This is a mere trifle to every individual person, but it will be a substantial aasist- ance tome, which must bring me, in tho aggregate, a clear gain of $5,000. Do you think I have some claim upon you? Will you pay the price, and will you do so cheerfully ? You have done so for Sontag, Alboni, Mario and Grisi, and the ola and worn out operas they have appeared in. ‘The price for a decent place to see the “Huguenota’’ in Paris is $3, in London $5. Those who go to see the “Huguenots’’ at the Academy will perhaps find « supe. rior perfor mance. I shall risk the experiment, at all events, on the first night. Should this moderate increase of prices, for this occasion only, prove objectionable, I shall abandon it, aad bow to your decision. To those who know me, I need not assure that every cent thus obtained will be faithfully employed by me to wards making next winter's season still more brilliant than that which will expire in a few weeks. Ihave been hopored by an unanimous vote of the directors and stock holders of the Academy of Music with an extension of my Present lease of one year to one of four years, and thus encouraged, I can safely promise you for next winter a succession of brilliant operas, got up in @ style fully equalling that which can only be found in an European opera house enjoying large subvention by government.

INTRRESTING CASE CONCKRNING THE ADVENTURES OF AN INFATUATED LOVER—SREINO THK KLEPHANT AT A HUNDRED DOLLARS A SIGHT. A very singular and interesting case of rural verdaacy came up before Justice Brennan, at the Easex Market Police Court, on Saturday afternoon. A Southerner, named J. F.

Mrs. Wilson returned to New York with her busband, evidently well pleased with the success of the plot and tho result of her adventure with the chivalrous Southerner.

In this Territory everything is tranquil, with the excep- tion of another abolition outbreak or trespass near old Fort Scott. Some of the Danite band of the patriot Jim Lane are at work again, Governor Denver sent to the commanding officer of the fort for troops to despatch to the scene of the emeute, for tho preservation of the peace and enforcement of the law. Accordingly two companies of the First caval- ry leave early to-morrow morning. A new Constitutional Convention is certainly called. It in to be hoped the free State party will show some manli- ness this time. In the Lecompton case, they are clearly, wholly and unequivocally to blame.

We are in possession of intelligence from Utah up to the 25th of December last, by way of San Bernardino ‘and San Francisco, and from Camp Scott, at Fort Bridger, to the 9th of January, by the way of Fort Leavenworth. ACCOUNTS BY THE WAY OF CALIFORNIA The latest news from alt Lake City by the way of Sar Bernardino is, as we bave said, ap to the Christmas holt days. The information in regard to the condition» » things among the Mormons js obtained from a gontlema who arrived at San Bernardino on the 16th of January and who left the city of the Saints at the time stated. Mails aud deepatches from Salt Lake came through. We have the Deseret News of the 23d of December. It would eppear from the accounts which he gives of the state of affairs in Utah, that tne Mormons are absolutely reduced to a state of destitution, and that a party of Mor- mons, under Colonel Amasa I.7man, was encatnped on the Mobave crossing, and intended to remain there til! they could procure supplies of provisions, clothing and dry goods. So great is the deetitution and want, and to auch strails are the Sam's reduced in Salt Lake City for the common necessaries of life, that orders have been | sed to prevent any further emigration from San Bernardino. The party that set out with Col. Lyman had a train of twenty wa- gons, and the excampment at the Mohave numbered about one hundred wagons. Colonel Lyman, as we bave said, in- tends to remain at the crossing, and will send to San Ber- nardino for whatever supplies he may require. These supplies are to bo obtained through some of the late resi= dente of the city, whom Colonel Parker prefers employing for the purpose. The necessities of the brethren in Salt Lake City are #0 pressing that the provisions are for ward- ed to them fror the encampment as soon as they are ob- tained, and all that can be purchased from the Gentiles Will also be rent to the destitute Saints. Despite the want and suffering which prevails among them they bear up, it is said, against it, with the heroism of martyrs. ‘The camp on the Mobave caanot, however, be #0 devoid of the comforts of life, after all, as it might be supposed to be. It has been stated by several that since the :amp ‘was established there bas been no less than fifty mar- riages, the young men of the party agreeing to take charge of all the young ladies, to which the latter freely consented, thus securing protection through the long jour- ney. Notonly have marriages been celebrated whole- sale, in orthodox Mormon style, but the married ladice have contributed largely to the hilarity and pleasures of camp life by adding to the population—there having been jolasses: (clayed) remains as last | no lone than twenty five births. General Clarke has sent two companies of artillery to Ban Bernardin, to romain there as protection agaiast any porsible inroads by the Mormons, until instructions are recolved from Washington. The names af two of the five unfortunate gentlemen, an account of whose cold blooded murder in the Mormon set- tlement has already been published, from the Placerville Argus, were Aiken. They were brothers, and at the tima of their leaving the lower part of t' © State they had from $4,000 to $6,000 in gold. This ancyunts for their repre- sentations in Carson Valley. They were afterwards hear@ of as being in prison in Salt Lake City, where they had been robbed of all their funds, The next and last thas was heard of them was the murder of all but one, who ‘was mortally wounded. Even if the wounded maa should have written to California to inform his friends of the cir- cumstances of the sad fate of himself and hie unhappy comrades, owing to the strict espionage exercised over the Post Uillco Departinent in the revolted Territory such ‘& letter would never have been permitted to reach Cali- fornia.
