that they could not be answerable for the consequences if

arrived at Suez on the night of the 11th ult. from 
cutta, which place she left on the 10th August, with some 
cargo and 108 passengers. She has brought the melan- 
choly intelligence of the total loss, on the evening of the 
Ist August, of the East India Company’s new steam-fri- 
gate Memnon, off Cape Guardafui, on the coast of Africa, 
with the missing Overland Mail. There were on board 
170 persons, who were fortunately all saved, but none 
of their effects have been recovered. The mails are 
entirely lost; and it is to be regretted that owing to their 
late arrival at Bombay the preceding month, there had 
een an accumulation of mails from Madras and Ceylon. 
The Memnon left Bombay on the 20th July, ten days 
earlier than she would have done on ordinary occasions,
