THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON'S VISIT TO
SWITZERLAND.
BERNE, AUGUST 22.

The Emperor and Empress of the French have
left the Castle of Areneuberg. They arrived at
1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, by steamer, in
Schaffhausen, wkere they were received
by a deputation from the government of the
Canton and the authorities of the town. Pre-
sident Ammann thanked the Emperor for the
friendly feeling his Majesty had displayed to-
w►rds Switzerland, in replying to which the Em-
peror referred to the protection formerly extended
to him by the Confederation. The Shaffhausen
cadets formed line at the landing-place of the pier.
After the reception the imperial pair drove through
the town in an open carriage to the railway sta-
tion, whence they departed, at half-past 1, by
special train to Lucerne.
The Emperor only stopped about a quarter of an
hour In Zurich. His Majesty is said to have spoken
in terms of high ►pproval of the excellent accom-
modation provided by the railway. The imperial
pair will pass the night at Lucerne. It will depend
upon the state of the weather whether his Majesty
will then traverse the Britnig Pass into the Bemuse
Oberland, or return direct, by way of Otten, to
France.
Upon the 20th instant the Emperor and Empress
embarked from Ermaliegen on board the steamer
Arenenberg for a abort excursion upon the Bodensee.
His Majesty is reported to have been much affected
upon finally quitting Arenenberg, and to have left
with the authorities a present of 30,000 fr. for the
use of the parish.

THE STEAMBOAT COLLISION ON LAKE
HURON.—DETAILS OF THE CATASTROPHE.
DETROET, Accuse 11.
A collision occurred between the steamboats
Pewabic and Meteor, at half-past G o'clock on
Wednesday evening, six miles from shore. The
Pewabic was struck on the port bow, just aft
the pilot house, and sank in three or four minutes.
The boats were running at full speed, and struck
with such terrible force as to =eh in the entire
bow of the Pewabic.
At the time the accident occurred it was scarcely
dark, and the boats saw each other six miles apart.
When approaching, they exchanged signals, and the
Pewabic bore off to pass ; but the Meteor, for some
unexplained reason, turned in the same direction
and struck the Pewabic. A number of the passen-
gers on board the Pewabic were killed by the crush-
ing of her timbers. A few jumped on board the
Meteor before the Pewabic sunk.
Lifeboats were immediately lowered from the
Meteor, and picked up those who were not carried
down with the wreck.
One hundred and seventy-five to two hundred
persons were on board the l'ewabie at the time of
the disaster. Seventy-five of the passengers and
twenty-three of the crew were saved.
The loss of life cannot be correctly ascertained as
yet, but it must be nearly 100.
The Meteor remained near the scene of the dis-
aster till morning, in the hope of picking up any
persons that might be still floating on pieces of
wreck, but none were found.
The propeller Mohawk paining down, the sur-
vivors were transferred to her from the Meteor and
brought to this city.
The Meteor was but slightly injured, and con-
tinued her trip to Lake Superior.
