The West Indian mail-steamer Medway has arrived, with papers from

Nassau to the 3d October, and for Jamaica to the 27th September. The Colonial papers are destitute of interest ; but the Medway brings intelligence of the loss of the Isis steamer, off Bermuda, on the night of the 10th October, The Isis, having been on shore at Porto Rico, was returning to England in company with the Medway, when they encountered a heavy gale with a tremendous sea off Bermuda ; and it became necessary to abandon the Isis, and remove the officers and crew to the Medway ; which, by the aid of the paddle-box boats, was effected -with the loss of only one life, that of a boy, out of a crew of nearly a hundred persons.
