Addtional by the America.

Boston, April 14. The America arrived at 11 o’clock. Letters from Sidney state that a vessel, name unknown, was wrecked in Brampton shoals. Fve hundred Chinese, and a portion of the crew were lost. The captain and eight men were the only persons saved.— These made for Cape Dennis in a boat. On landing they were attacked by the natives, and one of them killed. The condition of the Allies in the Crimea is represented thus by the oilicial Journal de St. Petersburg:— . “The position of the Allies is now completely shut in by an enclosure entrenchments, Grave events are expected.” Trade in Australia had improved somewhat. -Political matters were unsatisfactory. In reference to the Vienna Conference the Times says: “We did not raise our voice against negotiations upon a basis which did not iuclude the destruction of Sebastopol, but should the Conference be untirnately broken olf by the importance attached to the operations in the Crimea, and their results would become real, certain success or defeat, there is one further chance for negotiation, and though a faint one, is not altogether impossible. That answer from St. Petersburg may be the germ of some counter project, on which the discussion may be renewed. We do not, however, expect any proposal this time by the Russian Government that can be regarded as practicable and sincere.” The London Daily News says:— According to the most recent communications from Vienna, Lord John Russell is understood to see little or no prospect of peace at present, and expects to return to England by the 14th of April. The opinion is now freely expressed that any prospect of peace is precarious and uncertain . Sentence Commuted. —The Governor of New York has commuted the sentence of John H. Phelps to imprisonment for life, at hard labor.— Phelps, it will be remembered, was to hav'p been bung at Albany some time ago, but was reprieved several ' times. Ty , < 7> v*'r''r*mr evil with gr>H "
