COLLISION AND OILY LOSS OF I.IFL —The General
Steam Navigation Company's steamer Bruiser, from
Hull for London, was sunk shoot half-past 2 o'clock on
Sunday morning off Aldborough from collisiou with the
screw steamer Oswald, from -I.,mdon for Sunderland.
The Bruiser had on board from 123 to 130 persons.
She sank juices than a quarter of an hour, but the
captain of the Oswald had time to take on board his
vessel 09 passengers. Almost all the others ills believed
were lost. lb. W. Stout, jun., of London, and a
lady and her nephew were picked up by the schooner
Perseversnre, of London, Captain Gaffes, and landed at
Great Yarmouth. Mr. Stout states that 'heartrending
scene took plane when the collision occurred. The
Bruiser beds crew of 19 men. On the arrival of the
Oswald in the Victoria Docks, London, on Sunday
evening, the pariengen mved were landed. They pre-

flOgri extraordinary evidence haa come out before the
Yuinouth Bribery Commission. On Friday • Mr. .7.
Cooper complacently narrated bow at the last election
about £3.500 was brought to him by a stranger, and how
he distributed it in bribes to ware the election of Biz
Edmund Lacon and Mr. Goodson. He professed
not to know whence It had oome, but thought
perhaps 'the Club" had found it. But a witness
came forward on Saturday, who told the source
From whence this golden stream had lowed. This was
Mr. Nightingale, the managing partner of Sir Edmund
Loon In his brewery business. 11r. Nightingale having
determined that Sir Edmund Lacon should not be
" vietiodesd" at the last election drew £4,000, and gave
£3,500 of it to Cooper and the rest to • man named
Bhuthford. The money was sent by • Mr. Aldred.
Mr. Nightingale sent the money to Cooper as the
"illegal agent" of the Tory party—rather • line
distinction. At • previous election Mr. Nightingale had
spent £l,OOO to • similar manner, and this Sir E.
Leers) had paid among the election expenses without
Inquiry and without complaint. The £4,000 Sir
Edmund knew nothing whatever about, and Mr.
Nightingale was quite indifferent as to whether it was
ever rapid. He should not have mentioned the matter
to Sit Edmund, but be thought it probable that now
that geatteman knew of it he would repay the money.
