On Sunda, ight, off the Isle of Wight, the purser (Mr. C'harles ynell), with the (ni2npany's despatlies and the Post-office bags, went on board the Favouwite pilot vessel, accompanied by the following pas- sengers-viz. Mrs. Henry Lock, Miss-Lock, Mr. Dowler, Captains Duckingfietd, H. MAVilliams, Anthony, Pressick, and Brett. It was reported at Portsmouth on Moniday, that the Favourite pilot-vessel was lost, anid great fears are entertained for the safety of the passengers, as snone of themn nor the despatchies or letters are since accounted for, wiLh the exception of two letters given by Captain Barber, in charge of 'Captain Pressick, off the Isle of Wight, on Sun- day, wihich were received yesterlay morinig, with the Portsmouth post-office mark upon them. The Cambridge -does not, we understand, bring any later intelligence froin the seat of war in India than lhas been previolusly received by the way of Madrras. 1Froni an Evening Paper.] On Sunday last the ehip Ca'rt6ridge; Captain Barber, from Bom- bay, in the service of the Hon.

When the Favourite pilot-boat left the ship it was dark ; and fromn that time no tidings have yet reached Londern of her arrival on any part of our coast. From this the dreadfuil inference is drawn, tbat she has gone down, with all her crew, and the several persons that she took on board from the Cambridge. The Favouzrite was consi- dered an excellent sea-boat, and her Ccmmander ore of the most able and experienced inenl in the service., It is possible thatthe Fa- vourite may have been driven by the gale- to the opposite coast; but experienced officers scarcely indulge that hope, as in the interval fromq Sunday night to the afernoon of Tuesday, the intelligence of her eafety might havereached town, Captain Barber landed at Deal, and having retired to bed on his arrival in London, was ignorant of the circumstance at one o'clock. The Catbridge sailed from Bombay on the 11th of August, and from the Cape o; (}ood lMope on the 14th of October. LO.S3OF THE FAVOURIT.E PILOT-BOAT.
