Loss or H. M. Steam S loop "Tiiunderbolt.''— On Sunday evening, an express arrived from Port Elizabeth, communicating to the Admiral thepaiulul intelligence of Me loss ol the Thunderbolt, at the entrance of Algoa Bay. The following particulars are extracted from & letter inserted in the Graham's Town Journal, dated Port Elizabeth, Feb. 4:—"Yesterday evening, at about 5 o'clock, the smoke of a steamer was seen over the sandy point, apparently rounding Cape Recife, and nearly at the same time the report ol five or six guns were heard at intervals. The inhabitants were all on the gui vive, supposing it probable that this steamer was the bearer of our new Governor, and the gum excited no particular attention. Soon after it was seen to be the Thunderbolt rather close in shore, and although to all appearance vt'.th all hei steam up, she appeared to be making but little way, and to be deep in the water. As she neaied the anchorage, it was discovered that her ensign was reversed, aud then for the first time it became evident that some accident had happened. Her close approach to the shore excited the alarm of the spectators, when in a lew minutes it proved to be the intention to bring on the beach, aud accordingly she grounded in an upright position, some dUtauce out, nearly opposite the Beaken's River. The port boat had been for some time alongside of her; other boats put off to her assistance. The first which returned brought the unfortunate intelligence, that she had •truck on one of the outer points of Cape Recife, hdd passed over the rock, but that immediately afterwards six feet of water were found in her hold, and that it •was with great difficulty she had been kept afloat. This beautiful vessel is this morning in the same position, and the weather being very nvld, exertions are making to land her stores, &c, but scarcely any hopes are entertained of gptting her off. She had been sent round Irom Simon's Bay for the 90th Regiment, and had only 2or 3 steerage passcugers.— CVy> e o/ Good Hope Mercantile and Shipping Gazette, Feb. 12.
