No. 30.] LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCT. 5, 1846.

was found that the chain was miming, and the consequence
was, the steam being down, that the vessel, which was
fitted with the Arehintedean screw-propeller, began ',dly
to drift in the direction of London-bridge, immediate in
front of the middle arch. At this time the vessel was filled
with a cargo of provisions of every description, belong-
ing to the Irish trade, and, betides the crew, there
were on board a considerable number of Irish labourers
with their wives and families. Notwithstanding the utmost
activity on the pert of the hands on board, and the Thames
police, in the emergency thus suddenly caused, it was found
to be impossible to prevent the vessel from coming in con-
tact with the bridge. Immediately after the foremast caught
the crown of the arch the mast gave away, sweeping before
it every thing on the deck, from which all parties had been
ordered by the authority of the captain, who had taken the
precaution not to allow any one to remain on the deck except
the crew, of whom all hands were on deck at the time.
With the exception of one of them, who was slightly bruised,
they all escaped unhurt. The blow thus given to the vessel
made her reel frightfully, and the shrieks of the women and
children below were fearful in the extreme. But the was
succeeded by a tall more frightful collision. The funnel of the
vessel next met the stone work of the bridge, and so grea4was
the shock that the whole of the chimney was torn away with
a tremendous crash; the hind-mast was ripped down, and
the stern-poets cut off level with the floor of the deck. The
funnel fell over board and sank instantly; the masts also fell
over the sides of the vessel ; several saticles on deck were
also thrown into the water. Immediately after the collision
thevemel lay completely on her broadside, and bad it not
been fix the eery manner in which the masts and funnel were
steered away there Is no doubt whatever that she would
have turned bottom upwards, as it was by the rid of the
rudder she was righted en the cows.* of a few hours, and
eventually anchored before day-break opposite Alderman
Humphrey's warehouses above bridge. Assistance was
afforded as soon as possible to the affrighted passengers on
board, many of whom expected momentarily that the vessel
would go down. Happily, as we have stated, such was not
the fact, none of the crew or passengers being missing, when
inquiries were made by our reporter at nine o'clock this
morning. The dame-se to the bridge is trifling, but to the
ow nen of the Promethat it must prove of serious amount.
