SHIPPING CASUALTIES AND LOSS OF LIFE.

A ship named the Agra, Evans, muter, bound
frourLoudon to New York, was towed into Portsmouth
harbour on Sunday, having been in collision with the
torque Elizabeth Jenkins, bound from London to Boston,
United States, on Saturday evening, about eight o'clock.
Frost the report which has been made of the collision it
appears that it took place about four miles to the south-
west of the Owen light, the wind being fresh at the time,
with a tolerably clear atmosphere. The statement made
by the Agra's people is that the Elisabeth Jenkins was
obeuved on the starboard bow of the former, but as no
lights were seen it was presumed that both vessels
were standing on the same course. Shortly afterwards,
however, the barque's red light appeared to view as if she
were attempting to cries the Agra's bows from her Oar-
board side. The Agra at once ported her helm, but a col-
lision immediately took place, and so violent was it that
scarcely three minutes elapsed before the Elisabeth Jen-
kins sank, carrying down with her the master (Captain
Richaus), his wife, the chief mate, the cook and his wife,
and five of the crew. The second mate and six of the crew
saved themselves by scrambling from the forecastle on
board the Agra, one of the men dislocating his collar-bone
in the aortic save his life. A singular casualty very soon
afterwards occurred on board the Agra. Several of the men
whose lives had been saved went down into the cabin,
and one of the boys of the ship was getting out the
medicine chest for some article to be used by the unfor-
tunate man whose shoulder was dislocated, when ore of
the signal rockets exploded, sad, this communicating
with others, the cabin was soon filled with a body of
fire, and two of the men were so severely burnt that, on
being landed at Portsmouth, they were sent to the Royal
Portsmouth, Portsea, and Gosport Hospital. The re-
mainder of the laved crew were sent to the Sailors'
Home. The Agra was very considerably damaged in her
upper works, her starboard bow being partially stove in,
Slid her jibboom, cathead, stanchions, and bulwarks car-
ried away.
On Sunday afternoon a serious accident also occurred to
the Marchioneu of Bute, belonging to Poole, coal laden,
which caught fire on working through Spithead, and was
towed down the west channel as far as Fishhouse-creek, in
the Isle of Wight,whereit is said she was totally destroyed.
The fire is iruppused to have arisen from spontaneous com-
bustion. The crew were taken on board the steamtug when
it was found impossible to save the schooner.
Early on the morning of Sunday a collision took
place off the Margate Roads, near the Foresees Rock, be-
tween the brigantine Souvenir, of Jersey, bound from
Guernsey to London with a cargo of stone, and the schooner
Florence. of Grimsby, Gush, master, bound from Shields to
Exeter, laden with coal, which resulted in the drowning of
the captain of the brigantine and two of the crew.
Directly the collision took place, the brigantine began to
founder, and the crew seeing her hopeless state strove to
clamber on board the schooner as she passed them. Only
five men, however, succeeded in their attempt, and the
captain in endeavouring, it is said, to save ills nephew, •
lad of about 15 or 16 years of age, fell between the two ves-
sels and his nephew with him, and both were drowned.
The mate, whose name is Miles, succeeded in getting into
one of the ship's busts, and the ninth man, it is reported,
with him, but the latter was subsequently washed out of
the boat by a heavy see. In the meantime the brigantine
foundered and the schooner was towed into Ramsgate
harbour, with the loss of anchor and chain, and her bows
damaged. The mate was afterwards picked up off the
North Foreland by the fishing boat Pi grim, of Deal, and
landed at Ramsgate. The bodies of the missing portion of
the crew have not been recovered, nor have their names
transpired. On the same morning a French schooner
named Franc Prichard, laden with a cargo of patent feel,
oil, &c., bound from Dunkirk to L'Orient, from stress of
weather was driven ashore in Kingsgate Bay, situated
about two miles from Margate. Her starboard strokes are
gone, and she is expected to become a total wreck. She is
now in the hand' of the coast guard.
LIVERPOOL, MONTAT.
Another terrific gale has just swept over Liverpool, and
as far as all accounts at present received go, it must have
extended a long way down the channel. Telegrams re-
ceived in Liverpool to-day are to the effect that the ship
King of the Forest whilst on its way from Cardiff to the
Mersey was carried into Mill Bay and became a total
wreck. Three other vessels are reported ashore and likely
to become wrecks in the neighbourhood of Milford Haven.
It is feared that the enormous fleet of vessels which sailed
from Liverpool on Saturday must have suffered a severe
handling by this N.N.W. gale; but it is to be
hoped that they managed to get a good way
to the north. As it is, the ship Progress, which sailed on
Saturday for Rio Nunez, has been compelled to put back
to the Mersey in distress, the vessel being very leaky. The
two schooners which foundered in the course of Saturday
night and yesterday off the Formby and Crosby light-
vessels are total wrecks, and their names are at present
unknown. We regret to state that there is every reason
for the belief that the crews of both vessels have perished.
A telegram, though not a local one, has also been received
here today. It is to the effect that great damage to ship-
ping and the loss of numerous lives had been caused by a
fearful typhoon which had taken place between Japan and
Shanghai. The mail steamer Peruvian, with the mails
from Quebec. was off Ennishowen Head this morning,
under sail. Owing to the heavy sea that was running at
the time, and the prevalence of a boisterous wind, the
vessel was unable to enter the lough, end she was com-
pelled to bear away to the eastward, with the intention no
doubt of reaching the Mersey under sail alone, as it was
apparent that some of the machinery was damaged. The
l'eruvian, at the time the accident to her machinery took
place, was making a rattling run borne from Quebec. Up
to the despatch of our Liverpool parcel last night nothing
whatever had been heard of the crews of either of the two
schooners lost at the entrance to the port.

THE INNF OF COURT HOTEL COMPANY.—On
Saturday last a provisional liquidator of the Inns of Court
Hotel Company (Limited) was appointed, to prevent an
execution on Monday. The following circular has been
issued to the shareholders by the committee of investiga-
tion :—" We have the pain of being compelled to announce
the failure of our efforts. When we made our report to
you we hoped that the minimum sum necessary to keep
the company on foot would have been raised. The
minimum sum has not been subscribed, and all hopes of
obtaining it are at an ereL It has nut, therefore, been
possible to carry out the contemplated arrangements with
the creditors, and some of them have commenced and are
preparing legal proceedings. Under all the circumstances
of the case we feel we can no longer ask the share! oldera
tolcome forward, and that submission to a winding-up is
unavoidable. We deeply regret the failure of such a pro-
mising company. We rosy, perhaps, shortly have to tel-
-1 dress you again on a subject of importance to you ; but in
now resigning the trust you reposed in us, we can only
assure you that we have libelously endeavoured to adopt
the best course for your interests."—Solicitors'Journal.
EMIGRATION TO QUEENSLAND. —lnstructions were
sent home by the last English mail to atop all free emigra-
tion to this colony, both from England and from Germany,
for the present. These instructions will not in any way
interfere with those persons whose passage-money has been
paid for by their relatives or friends, as the remittance
system will continue in operation. The restriction refers
to free passages, for which shipowners or others are paid in
land orders. It is said that by this mail Mr. Jordan has
tendered to the government his resignation of his appoint-
ment as agent-general for immigration, and has informed
them that in accordance with the instructions he bad re-
ceived be had taken steps to reduce the rate of immigra-
tion to 300 per month. Several immigrant ships have ar-
rived lately, and it is the intention of the government to
convey many of the passengers to the northern
ports of the colony, where a great demand for
labour exists. Only four more immigrant ships
are expected, containing on an average 300 souls
each. There is little fear, therefore, that the pre-
sent surplus labour will not soon be absorbed, and that it
will be necessary to devise some means by which a mode-
rate supply of labour can be readily obtained. —Bris6ane
Opuri,r, Sept. 20.
A lir NA WAY WI FE. —The G ippslander states that,
in 1361, an English couple lived in comfortable quarters
near Ballearat, the man being possessed of several good
mining shares. On an evil day, however, a brother share-
holder was introduced, and one tine evening the lady and
the friend left the house and the district together. The
mines in which the husband was interested having lately
been worked out he realised Lis little property, and hear-
ing a great deal about the Gipps Land gold-fields deter-
mined to seek the new Eldorado, and landed a few weeks
back in Sale. Here he heard that he could buy a large
hotel from • widow, et a ridiculously small suns. He
started to view the investment, when he was surprised to
find that the widow was no other than his long-lost wife.
The husband used receiminations, the wife tears, and at
length she was forgiven, more especiagy as she had en-
dured a long list of sufferings at the hands of her para-
mour, who had been removed by death. The hotel has
not changed hands, but the husband has asserted his
rights by placing his name over the door.—Melt ourne Age,
Sept, 27.

EQUITY COURTS.—Nov. 12.
(Before the Muter of the Rolle.)
IN BE THE IfIRCHAN'Tte COMPANY (LIMITED).—(Than
nerrnome.)

Three petitions were presented in this matter, praying
for the usual winding up orders.
Mr. Selwyn, Q.C. (with him Mr. Lindley) appeared on
behalf of the first presented petition for winding up this
company, which was established in October, 1865, for
taking over the business, as general commission merchants,
of Mears. Lane, Hawkey, and Co.
Ur. Southgate, Q.C., and Mr. Brooksbenk, appeared in
support of the second petition, presented by Mr. Somer-
ville, a contributory ; and Mr. Roxburgh and Mr.Kekewich
for the third petition, presented by a contributory.
When the petition was opened,
Mr. Jessel, Q.C. (with him Mr. Fooks), for the com-
pany, said that since Saturday, when he had asked that
the petitions might stand over to this morning, he had
read the whole of the petitions and evidence with great
~are, and he found that the matter could end only in one
way, and that he could not hope to resist a winding up
order.
The Master of the Rolls said that it was very proper that
counsel should take that course, and not occupy the time
of the court with cases which were plainly hopeless. From
the communication he had had with the Vice-Chancellor
Stuart, be felt no doubt but that his honour would have
made the order upon Mr. Somerville's petition if it had
not been transferred to this branch of the court, and if
there bad been no transfer an order would have been made
by his honour before any order could have been made here.
His lordship therefore thought that the order must be
made upon all three petitions, and the costs of them must
come out of the estate. To the creditors appearing would
there would be one set of costs, and to the contributories
one. but of appearing upon one only of the petitions.
Mr. Stevens, Mr. Roberta, and Mr. B. Come appeared for
some of the contributories and creditors of the company.

told him sufficient that would have made him hesitate
before giving it. It was some time after she refused ifin

attorne as she was determined to bring an action.
The further hearing of the case was then adjourned.
