FATAL STEAMBOAT COLLISION ON THE THAMES.
—Yesterday morning Mr. Payne held an inquest at the
Horielydown Tavern, Fair-street, Horselydown, on the
body of Edward Cook, seaman on board the Think, of
Stockton, aged 19 years. From the evidence of several
witnesses who were examined, it appeared that on Wednes-
.
deyevening last, about six o'clock, the deeeased,who wu an
apprentice to the captain of the Think, of Stockton, moored
in the Battle-bridge tier, was engaged in removing a boat
from the bow to the stern of his vessel, the tide having just
urned at low water. Two or three barges and lighters had
Just left their moorings to proceed with the tide up the
river, and were just abreast of the Think, which was the
outside vessel in the tier ; and, on account of their puition,
the deceased was obliged to proceed in a different direction
to what be would otherwise h►ve done. One of the Water-
men Company's steamboats (No. 11) was going down
the river at this time, and almost met the Niobe
steamer at this point, but the latter slackened her pace a
little below, to allow her a free coarse without fouling the
lighters and barges. From the course the small boat was
taking to avoid the lighters, the captain of the Niobe ima-
gined she was about to cross the river, but no sooner had
she cleared the lighters than she altered her course to
reach the stern of the Think. The captain of the Niobe
immediately sung out to the deceased, and gave orders for
the steamer to " stop" and " turn astern," but before the
way of his vessel could be stopped her bow came in contact
with the stern of the boat in which deceased was standing
upon the stern-sheets sculling. The deceased tried to ward
her off with his scull, but so great was the concussion that
he was knocked clean overboard, and was seen to float till
the paddle-wheel passed over him, after which he was not
again seen till about en hour after, when he was found
washed ashore, not far from the scene of the disaster. It
was the general opinion that the captain had done every-
thing in his power to avert the calamity, and the jury re-
turned a verdict of " Accidental death."

A FIRE broke out at Hamburg on Monday, in the
Dekh-Strues, near the spot where the conflagration of
1842 commenced, but was got under in about three hours.
The damage is estimated at 80,000 marks bunco. From
the pressure of the crowd on one of the bridges the balus-
trade gave way, and about thirty persons were thrown into
the canal.
