Fatal Collision in the Mersey.

The Inman steamer City of Brussels, which had
just arrived from New York, was run into in the fog
yesterday (Sunday) morning, while waiting to enter the
Mersey, by the Glasgow steamer Kirby !fall, which
was on her trial trip. Perfect order was maintained,
and the passengers and crew were saved in boats, with
the exception of eight seamen, who are missing—sup.
posed to have been knocked into the SCI at the time
of the collision—and two Italian steerage passengers,
who are believed to have jumped overboard in terror.
The City of Brussels Was struck amidships with such
force that the grand saloon was cut in two.
