Caversham Park House, the seat of Mr. William Crawshay, the

irnn- master, was totally destroyed by fire early yesterday morning. A letter written on behalf of Mr. Henry Walsh, of Dublin, to Messrs. Fielden Brothers at Liverpool, confirms a previous report as to the loss of the American packet-ship Hottinguer' with its commander and crew, on the coast of Ireland. When the vessel first struck, Mr. Bursley landed some of the and his son near Arklow, and afterwards tried to work his ship clierlgtehr: banks, to the North ; but it became unmanageable, got on to the banks, and was lost. One man was saved ; but he has become insane, and cannot recount the affair. It is stated by the Morning Chronicle that Jenny Lind has signed an agree- ment at Lubeck to go to America and the Havana in August or September, and "sing only in concerts and oratorios." She will be about a year and a half performing her engagement ; and will receive "fully 70,0001. for the time" —n sum of 30,0001. is to be placed in pledge with Messrs. Baring.
