Mr Walter Powell, M.P. for Malmeebnry, and others, were occupants. The Preach flag has been hoisted at Rairatea, or Ulietea, a mountainous but exceedingly fertile island belonging to the Society Group, about 130 inilea north-west ofTahaite. The managers of theatres in London have been warned to take every precaution to facilitate the escape of audiences iv the eveot of au alarm of fire occurring. Several steamers expected from America and other foreign ports are overdue, and since the recent heavy gales in the Atlantic considerable alarm is felt for the safety of the missing vessels. Viscount lioyle, eldest son of Earl Shannon, and a lieutenant attached to the 3rd Battalion of the Prince Consort's Own (Rifle Brigade), now stationed in Ireland, is reported missing from tbe garrison in Dublin, and uneasiness in felt at this inexplicable disappearance. Since the discovery of the outrage perpetrated upon the remains of Earl Crawford steps have been taken by direction of Her Majesty to protect the Koyal mausoleum at Frogmore Park.
