Rome, May 17.

The Pope has recently undergone succes sive painful operations, tie would much like to spend the summer at Perugia, but is not prepared to face the storm of <~ posi tion, reproach and menace he would have to encounter if he did so. It is meanwhile no secret to his medical advisers that to remain in Rome all summer is, perhaps, to run immediate risk of life, and certainly to shorten it.

Hundreds of parishes aro without priests. and no new ones can be nominated until the Bishops are willing to submit the names of the candidates to the Government. It is, therefore, believed in Government circles that the Pope is inclined to give in, as he fears the power of the papacy iv Europe might be shaken by longer delay. To re establish this power the Pope is said to be willing to make, for the moment, some sacrifices and also some conces sions. In this policy, however, the Pope will eacountcr resistence from the Jesuits. Berlin, May 17.

Foundering of a Mail Steamer.

f PASSENGERS TAKE TO THE 80/^-.

THEY ARK AGAIN WBECKED,

News was received on May 15, by telegram from Madeira, of the foundering at sea on April 23rd, of the Union Company's Royal Mail steamship American, Captain A. M. Wast, which left Southampton ou the Bth ult., with the Capeot Good Hope and Natal mails. It appears that the stern shaft of the American broke ou tho morning of the 23rd, aud the vessel foundered at 20 minutes past noon the same day. Every soul on board left the ship safely iv eight boats. On the evening of the 25th, three of the boats—the steamer's second lifoboat and fourth and sixth cutters—under charge re spectively of the First and Third Ollicers aud Boatswain, containing in all 54 persons, were picked up by the British and African Company's steamship Congo, from which vessel they were lauded at Madeira on Saturday morning. The other live boats when last seen were making for Cape Palmos. The weather was line at the time. The loss ot the American is the most serious disaster which has occurred to the Union Steamship Company's lleet since the European, on her way from South Africa to this country, sank near Ushant.on Dec. 5, 1877. On that occasion no lives were lost; all the passengers and crew were saved by the ship's boat. The Union Steam ship Company carry the mails between England aud the Cape in conjunction with the Castle Packets Company. The Ameri can was an iron vessel, of 2,1G2 tons and 320 horse power. STATEMENT OF THE OFFICERS.

The chief-officer of the American, Mr Campbell Hepworth, states that th-_ founder iog took place on the 23rd April, at 5 a.m., in let. 1.52 N., long. 0.50 W. The main shoft broke, it is supposed, in the pipe. On sounding the wells, which was done im mediately, the ship was found to be making water very rapidly ia the after-hold and tunnel. An attempt was made by tbe third engineer to proceed up the tunnel, in tlio hopo ofj-ooc-rtAiuliJH UicUaniugn,but the rushoPwater was so great that it was found impossible to do so. The third officer ascertained by going over the stern in a bowline that the propeller was drooped and the rudder post bent. The pumps were immediately set going, the passengers vol teeriug to pump. The main engine could, not he moved, and the rudder also was jam med. The water made so rapidly iv the after-hold that the commander srave orders to water and provision the boats, after which the boats were lowe.ed and brought under the lee. At the commander's request, the passengers then

SAT DOWN TO UREAICFAST in the saloon. At eight a.m., there was found to be 18 feet of water iv the after-hold, and tbe after part of the saloon was afloat. The commander then gave orders for the passengers to disembark into the boats, which was accomplished in a quiet, orderly manner. Coals and cargo were then thrown overboard to lighten the thip, and the donkey-engine, which for awhile had broken down, was again set agoing; but the water still gained,and the sea,having by this time risen, was making a cl«.an breach over the ' quarter-deck. At about 11.30, all hope of eaviug the ship haviDg been given up, the commander gave the order to take to the boats, being himself the last to leave the ship. At 12.20 p.m. the ship foundered, going down stern foremost, aud the boats made all sail for Cape Palmas, distant 210 miles. There was a strong breeze until the night of the 24th, after which calms, squalls, and thunderstorms were experienced, until the lifeboat and two cutters were picked up. The first and second cutters saw a brigan tine-rigged steamer at daylight on the 25th, and passed unobserved within three miles of her, although signals were made to attract attention. They made the land at six a.m., between Grand Sester and Cape Palmas, and steered for it. They were picked up by the screw steamer Congo, of Glasgow, commanded by Captain Livers edge, at about 3 p.m. the same day. All the eight boats on leaving the ship were well rigged, efficiently manned, watered, and provisioned. ANOTHEK ACCOUNT.

Mr Curtis, one of the engineers of the American, states that at the time the three boats were picked up they were within three-quarters of a milo of land. The only thing his boat found deficient was the water. 1 hey had taken a lull supply, but it was spoiled, and therefore unpleasant to drink. Tho weather varied very much. The thunder and lightning which accom pany the heavy rains of the tropics were very violent, and at one time there was a downpour which almost sunk their boat. This, however, had another aspect to it. It was wolcome because it brought a fresh supply of pure water. He was on watch at the time of the accident, and the first thing he knew of it was tho sensation of a terrific shock. Very shortly afterwards the water be«an to pour info the funnel and the after hold. The water around the ship was immediately full of sharks, as it would be directly a vessel came to a standstill in those latitudes, so that no one could dive to ascertain further of the nature of the acci dent. The whole of the mails were put into the boats, and some of them are now at Madeira. A SEAMAN'S STOKY. he Gros. a seaman, says it was only two minutes between the order aud the launch ing of the boats, as every man knew ex actly wbat to do, and everything was in perfect order. The captain told the crew and passengers that they were to make no attempt to save their luggage, as if time permitted tbere would not he room in the boats. Those who could might take ]ust one change in their arms, but nothing more We were put on short water, but had plenty of provisions. On Sunday morn ing, however, we managed to add to our stock of water, as it rained very hard for an hour There wete some umbrellas amongJt us which were held upside down, .and m this way'we managed to fill three beakers. It was very refreshing, because the days were terribly hot, and so many of us being cramped together in a boat made it all t>>e worse. When we got on hoard tho Congo wc found that we had lost the use ot our egs through sitting so long. There was no one ill amongst m, although we had aome women and a baby three months old. The officers and crew trcatad us very kindly. WRECKED A SECOND TIME. On tho morning of the 27th April, the passengers and crew of the recovered boats were landed at Grand Bassa, Thence they sailed on May Ist, all well, per steamer Senegal; for Grand Canary, where on May 12th, at three in the afternoon, the Senegal struck on a sunken rock off Grando Point. The vessel was run ashore in Melenara Bay to save life, and the weather being fine, al the passengers and crew, including those of the American boats, were saved with the exception of the Hon. John Patorson, one of the passengers by the American, who

was drowned in the lowering of a boa* SSf Ti? ed nud was cut »l two by «ie aiotL nf tIC I Pr°P? Uer; Mr Wilkinson! I.fa Sin 1 J° Amerlcan s pMwngeis, lw ma and aud arm severely injured.

Bombarding Callao.

Panama, May 14.

CHILEAN FLEET IN ACTION

At two o'clock on that day the Chilean ships on the blockade at Callao, the Blanco Encalada and Huascar, ironclads, the Augainos aud Pilcotnayo, corvettes, armed with the latest and most effective of Krapp's long-range ordnance, and the transports Loa and Matins Cousiiio, came steaming luto the bay of Callao from their anchorage at the island of San Lorenzo, which com mands the bay at a distance of eight miles. Iv Callao everything was iv readiness for the light. Ihe Dictator, with his aides, was visiting all the batteries, the encampments ot tioops behind the town, theiield hospitals established, the liie brigades from Lima drawn up to their proper places, and even tne reserve force of artillery-nieu, composed of unattached oiheers of high grade both of the army aud uavy . But these hopes of a uccisivo battle vauished, and, instead, wc were to be regaled by the enemy with a species oi „ham light. The Chileans contiuued then advance until within 6,000 metres ot the shore, and then began firing with their heavy <ntns on the town aud on the Peruvian war slips Uuiou and Atahualpa, which, with lour transports, were enconsced behind tho great discharging dock of Callao. The Atahualpa, as usual, was unable to steam. The lirst shots of the enemy were immediately an swered by the forts, but the Peruvian guns fell far short of the positions occupied by theChileauships. Thecommaudorsof thaso vessels contiuuedthcirlire withsome energy, directing their shots against the ships aud the town. The chagrin of the people on shore may well be imagiued. The scene was not calculated to appease them. The euemy's vesssels, posted off at an unassail able distance, were hammering away at thoir disarmed foe. At one moment the Huascar came almost within raugo ot tho two J_Cd'ui), al';cly neai' '•'IC Point, mounting and was Tpeeuil'lo pounders, smooth bores, mity by a shot from one <M of h. cr P™»" projectile falling so close to tfid'.?.ooß^. sho quickly changed her position. ' at Out of 150 shots and shells fired from the three Chilean vessels, the Huascar, Anga n.os and Pilcomayo—the Blanco took no part iv the sham light—some half a dozen struck the town, piercing the cane-built houses and setting one or two ou lire, but these conflogratious were instantly attended to by the lire brigades. The ships iv the Darscua, the principal mark of the Chilean guns, were only damaged by a few frag ments of shell, aud one man was killed on board the Union. Ono non-combatant was also killed on shore. The batteries were not hit, even. The ships were ready for work the same night, and the whole injury inflicted can be repaired by the out lay of 1000 silver soles. A.t 5 p.m. the Chileans retired to their anchorage. Before daylight the next morniug some Chilean launches and a torpedo boat made a dash inshore, evidently with the design of cutting out the monitor, Atahualpa, but were so badly handled by the sharpshooters of tbat vessel and of the Uniou, together with the crews of the picked boats, that Ihe enemy beataspeedyretre.it. Since then nothing has been done. Provisions are still abun dant, indeed plentiful, but prices are very high.

A STORY OF THE MASSACRE OF A

PARTY OF PROSPECTORS ON THEIR RESERVATION.

Chicago, May 15,

The "Times" this morning publishes a story from Leadville, told by John Allcndo.f to a reporter of that city, regarding a massacre of white prospectors in the Ute reservation. Allendorf says that he left his home in Linn County, Kansas, seven weeks ago, with seventeen others, on an equipped expedition in search of mineral, which thoy found on the head waters of the Gunnison River in rich places, which yielded from §2,000 to $4,000 per day. On May 3, while the party was widely scattered, a band of the Ute Indians galloped down upon the camp and massacred the whole party, cutting their bodies into pieces. Allendorf saw the massacre from the moun tain, whither he had gone hunting. The Utes carried off all the gold and the wholo outfit. Allendorf escaped, aud walked for fcveral days until he reached a settlement.

In a recent speech of Lord Kimberley's— the earliest which he has been called upon to make in his capacity of Secretary for the Colonies-he thus expressed his opinions on Colonial politics:-"No matter what party is in power in this country there is no i difference of opinion in the Councils of the State as to the interests of our colonists, or. as to the question of the promotion of a union of the whole Empire. (Here there was much applause.) Doubts have been cas upon this political party and that political party as to the views they take oirthis sub iect hut there is really no foundation for such doubts. There is no diflercnce of opinion as to anything that tends to the unity and the strength of the Empire so far as 1 ever knew. The only cause of differ ence was the means by which that unity and that strength could be hest preserved and improved upon. Ido no kno«' oany body connected with the public affans ot England who docs not wish to hand the British Empire over to the succeeding generation as unimpaired as ever it was h The "Pall Mall" says Lord Kmberley now has the opportunity of g^S? "gj* some of his own mistakes, in South Africa nt least. The organising of the Colonial sealS land forces, and providing for the protection of coaling, stations miist soon £ome under consideration anion? lie wide issues of Colonial politics. The Royal Commission appointed to inquire into he question of the defence of all ™i outlygj territories contained men of both pal ties, and delegates are now on the way home to protection in an emergency.

V. c in England are too much accustomed to harbouring the political refugees of all nations to notice the arrival of a score more or less. Society lure is, however, so differ , ently constituted t'.iat the cases are hardly parallel. Extradition treaties provide for the enemies of socety at large, and though political refugees are excluded from the category of criminals, they are generally Kept pretty constantly under the eye of the police. The Ambsasadors of their respec tive countries are on the watch for any false step they may make, and would be only too glad to find them amenable to the laws of their country of refuge ; here then we have nothing to fear from their theories, and much to gain from their talents and industry. Hartmatm is neither likely to assassinate the Queen himself, nor persuade anyone else to do so, and it I am not mis taken in my man, he is giving lessons in rV.'i 0 Kussian language in South London. Ihe "Pall Mall" seems to think your visitors a valuable acquisition to the colony. Tho men of the Commune, however vicious the working of their system of no-govern ment might be, were by no means the worst of the population of Paris during that reign of vice, the Second Empire. Siberia is said to be the best educated portion of | Russia. Eughind certainly profited largely by the Edict of Nantes, and in no small measure by 1848. Such is the general ex pression of public feeling here. EMIGRATION. The telegram sent by the New Zealand Government to Sir Julius Vogel, by some means found its way into the papers in a distorted form, thus giving an impression very disadvantageous to the Colony. Sir Julius Vogel immediately sent the true ver sion and an explanatory letter to the " Times," and has given the same informa tion to the various "agents of the Depart ment in diflerent portions of the country." He concludes: " I have receivea uu ;.,i... mation in any vi ay which would tend to discourage the emigration to the Colony of people with a kuowledge of agriculture and the means to follow the pursuit. On the noutrary, the late extraordinarily bountiful harvest and tho rise In wool must be con sidered most encouraging byemigrauts of this class."

Mr Arthur Clayden, correspondent of the " Daily News," writes a sort of apology for having given too favourable a view of your labour market in his letters Home last year ou " The English Agricultural Labourer in New Zealand." Since the late wave of de pression he acknowledges that much of his testimony would have to be modified, if not re-written. He says, " There is a fine chauce for capitalists, owing to the tempor ary depreciation of property, but working men other than farm labourers, had better look before they leap." He adds, however, that, "Distress in New Zealand means generally mere inability to get all the workois think they ought to get, for their eight hours' toil. After accusing both the "flbouring aud governing classes of New keep" th<?_'i a " uog-in-thc-m»ngor" wish to concludes, "'My1 Kin*P ,*° themselves he is that our ma^ificenH&f™. 0 c. njf lon lieve the mother country of all fierredufi dant labour, aiid I further believe that in so doing they would experience a develop ment of resources which would make Great Britain more than ever the envyof tho world." Mr Clayden speaks of giving you our "redundant labour," but I fancy if is our redundant idleness that we are most anxious to give and syou most loth to ro ccive.

Sir Julius Vogel is advertising for domes tic servants of all descriptions except foot men, lit," oilers a free passage and ship's outlit, and' states that wages in the colony are from £20 to £40 per annum. A good cook can command from £40 to £50 per annum here. The free passage is limited to single women.

A correspondent of tho "Times" recom mends the formation of emigration and immigration clubs on the German model here aud in the Colonies. Funds are sub scribed already for next Spring sailings, both by friends at home and those who wish their friends to join them. Each emigrant party is under special olliccts and well drilled in all requirements for the voyage. Manitoba is the chief attraction to the Germans.

Messrs Mcllwraith, McKacheam, & Co.'s ship, Windsor Castle, sailed for Rock hamptou with 302 emigiants on board. English, 10S ; Scotch, 29 ; and Irish, IGS ; so Queensland will soon be as well provided as New Souili Wales, For Sydney tho Samuel Plimsoll carries 305 emigrants. English, 123 ; Scotch, 39 ; Irish, 225 ; and S foreigners. THE SELWYN MEMORIAL. Tho subcjuriptio-io pm.l or prou-iocCl fui the memorial to your lato Bishop, Dr. Selwyn, now amount to about £21,000. Of this £19,000 is available for the Selwyn College. Au eligible site has been pur chased in Cambridge, and estimates for the building have been prepared. Mr Richard Foster has written to the Dean of Lichfield, promising £50 towards the erection of the College, to bo paid when the subscriptions amount to £25,000. THE PREMIER OF QUEENSLAND AN L.L.D. The honorary degree of L.L.D. has been conferred on the Hon. Thomas M'llwraith by ihe University of Glasgow. The Parliamentary Statistical abstract for the Colonial aud other possessions for each year from ISGI to 187S has recently been issued. THE MODEL MISSIONARY.

The May Meetings, otherwise tho " bonnet shows," aro in full force, and to hear the speeches you would hardly imagine there could be an unconverted Patagonian left to eat his grandmother, or a Jew to grace tho Millennium. The Jews, however, hold May Meetings of their own, and certainly beat the Christians in the matter of subscriptions raised in aid of their various and excellent schools and charities.

The " Daily News " has a sensiblo articlo on the "ideal missionary":—"ln the English race the desire to proselytise almost keeps pace with the desire to make money. If all the missionaries, whose reports are read to Exeter Hall did nothing but soften the impression, and remedy the evils caused hy the rough-and-ready pioneers of commerce, their existence would be justified. It is probable that the great societies, with their large incomes aud their vast opportunities, will learn with iticreased experience that missionaries have other duties than the mere teaching of dogmas. They will employ men who can he the repre sentatives of what is best, most tolerant, and most far-sighted in English civilisation. Already there are euch men at work in Africa and India, though their labours arc impeded and thwarted by so cial and politi cal difficulties. It is not easy to find a modus vivendi with exceedingly High Church, and very juvenile bishops ; with statesmen, who have to think first of all of budgets ; and with traders who want to sell poisonous liquors and kidnap labourers. The mis sionary needs to be a man ofjthe world, with uuujualkuowlcdge, tact, aud temper, aud, above all, with a large and noble nature." The writer refers to the work and influence of such men as Selwyn, Colcnso, and Patte son, and then coucludcs : " Recent history has shown again and again tbat the mis sionary is a great politick.*force. It is im possible, therefore, to uso too high a standard in selecting men '■ for a post which, besides the labours and responsibilities of its essential work, has many of the diffi culties of diplomacy." TRANSPORT OF FRESH MEAT.

The managers of the Orient Hue of steamers write to the " Times " to say that in view of the probable rapid development of the meat trade means of transport will be required, and to meet this want they intend to lit refrigerating machines, with the least possible-delay, on board the steamers of the Orient Hue. They will prepare and set apart space in each steamer for the purpose of carrying fresh meat and other perishable cargo in a frozen condition on freight. The first machine is being constructed, and will be set at work on board a steamer as soon as finished. It is expected that the whole of the steamers of the line will be similarly fitted within the year. The adoption of refrigeration in the Orient line will put it within the power of the meat companies to arrange for the continuous supply of the London market by fortnightly shipments. It will also enable the owners of the steamers to introduce a new variety into the victualling of crews and passengers, and to improve tho conditions of life at sea in various other respects. A brisk correspondence was carried on iv tho same journal as to the facilities for feed ing and transporting the meat to the ports in the colonies. A correspondent signing himself " One Who Knows." maintained tbat railways were comparatively of little iiso for meat transport, and ice not to be had. "A Queenslander" denied both statements, and maintained that few ventures offered more brilliant prospects to the speculator.,

THE MELBOURNE EXHIBITION. France will he represented by 1,200 exhibitors, and the space allotted to them measures over 80,000 square feet. The Government vessel Einisterre .eft louiouon May 10, with the bulk of the articles, but a considerable amount will have to be for warded by the English mail boats as the Finisterre can hold no more. At Sydney there were only sixty exhibitors from FOn CApril 24, the Prince of Wales presided it Marlborough House, over a meeting, of toe Royal Commission- for the Australian

International Exhibition. There wei'e^pL sent—the Earl of Carnarvon, the Earl of Kimberley, his predecessor in office Sir Michael E. Hicks Beach, Mr Childers, Sir Daniel Cooper, Sir John Ros-e, Sir Frederick Leigl.tou, Sir J. D, Hooker, Prof. Owen, Mr Warrington W. Smyth, and Mr J. A. Wright, secretary. The " Pall Mall" says that." the question of tariff will force itself prominently under notice, with reference to the coming Mel bourne Exhibition,"
