SERIOUS COLLISION IN THE IRISH CHANNEL.

On Friday morning, about 5 o'clock, a very
serious collitiou took plea, iu the Irish Channel, betweeu
the *crew steamer Semaphore, Captain Campbell, belonging
to this Belfast Steamship Company, and the brig Nereid, of
Whitehavou, and resulted in the loss of the latter vessel,
and the serious injury of the steamer. The Semaphore was
on her way from Liverpool to this port, and the Nereid was
bound from Whitehayse to Cardiff with a cargo of iron ore.
The morning was dark, and there was thick fog, and the
vowels were about five miles otf the Calf of Mart when the
collision took place. Of course the most contradictory
statements are made as to the cause of the collision. Those
is charge of the Semaphore assert that they were run into
by the brig, and that the latter had no lights up, while the
mate of the latter asserts that his lights were all in proper
order, having been trimmed an hour before; that the
helm was ported when they saw the stes.iner, and lbw-
boarded when they saw she was cooling down on them ;
but that, when the helm was star boarded, the Sena-
phore again altered her course, and, coming in collision,
struck the brig on the port bow, and carried it away.
However it may have occurred, the brig immediately after
the colliaiou began to settle down iu the water. The hands,
seven in number, including the captain, took to their boat
sod earns alongside the steamer for safety, and the Nereid
went down shout twenty minutes afterwards. It was soon
found that the Semaphore had received most serious injury
from the collision. A large bole had been made in the
front, and the fore compartment began to fill with
water. Apprehensions were entertained that she also would
go down. The passengers, male and female—many of them
is their night-drewies—weie gut into the boats, and remained
clam to the steamer to await the result. The water filled the
fore compartment, and the steamer west down much deeper
than usual, but after some time it was found that the worst
had been reached, and that with prudent management she
could be gut into port. The passengers and the crew of the
Nereid ware then taken on board, and the vessel's course
directed fur Belfast Lough. It was only by the greatest
exertions that Captain Campbell was able to keep the
steamer afloat, and her disabled condition as she passed the
Sound at Donaghadee was a subject of general comment to
those who saw her front the shore. Ou reaching Holywood
bank the captain did not hesitate an instant, but nut the
vessel aground to prevent her sinking, end the passengers
were brought up to town by the tug-steamer Queen, after a
voyage of the most intense anxiety and distress. It is grati-
fying that beyond a few scratches received by a boy who
was in the rigging of the Nereid, no one in either vessel
received any injury. A very complimentary address was
presented to Captain Campbell by the passengers.
There will probably be an inquiry by the Board of Trade
into the cause of the ruishap.—Saustlers' News Letter.

NARROW ESCAPE OF MR. BLAKE, M.P.

DRUIVNINU.

FROM

One of the bon. members for the city of Water-
ford has had a very narrow escape from drowning in
Tramore. Mr. Blake went to bathe at a time when the tide
was full out, and at low water spring tides the waterir
cedes so far as to bring some dangerous holes within reach.
These holes are formed by the violent action of the waves
during storms, and are not always in the same spot. Mr.
Blake was in company with Mader Gallwey, son of Healy
I Oa] lwey,Eaq ~ who remained on shore in charge of Mr. Blake's
dog, and while doing so he perceived :dr. 1/1311(0 struggling
in the water, and gave the alarm to a bathing man,
named Kelly, who immediately got the life-buoy, which
has been the means of saving many lives. norms little
delay occulted in consequence of the fouling of the line, but
Kelly threw off his boots, and rushed with the life-buoy into
the water, and flung it to Mr. Blake, who had twice sunk
and rose to the surface just in time to seize the buoy, and
he was drawn from the deep water by the line attached to iN
On reaching Kelly he was so faint as to be unable to stand.
and that man and his son carried him ashore, where he was
rubbed, swathed in flannel, and took some brandy, which
revived him. Had it not been for prompt assistance, the
result might have been fatal—Wait/ord Mail.

FESTIVAL OF THE THREE CHOIRS.

—e--
HEREFORD, WEDICBsDAT.
The festival is progressing as satisfactorily as
could be desired. A great number of meats are already
engaged for every performance, and the first concert last
night (usually the least popular) showed an unusually full
room. The iprogramme was a lengthy one, but no encores
having been insisted upon it was pas through in reasonable
time.

The opening overture was played amidst the confusion of
late arrivals, for railways in Herefordshire are so modern
an intraluctiou that they have not yet taught the in-
habitant. the value of punctuality. However, the company
were at length fairly seated, and the performances weft
listened to with rapt attention.
A thick fog which hung over the city no doubt pre-
vented many visitor* from attending the early service at the
cathedral. The congregation was much smaller than
yesterday, when the sermon in behalf of the charity fee the
relief of clergymen's widows and orphans was preached.
Th. service was Traver, iu I, and the anthem, " I will
wog"—Greene.

The oratorio commenced today half an hour earlier than
yesterday. Two oratorios (or rather part) were given
Spohrs last Jwlyuarnt, and a selection from Handel's
Samson. More late arrivals kept the cathedral this morn-
ing, as they did the Shire-hall last night, disturbed for
half an hour after the time appointed for the commence-
ment of the oratorio. The principals to whom the chief songs
in the Lad Judwrteng were allotted were Mrs. Weiss
(soprano), Mime Susan Ppm (contralto), Mr. Montem Smith
(tenor), and Mr. Weir (bar). In Samos, Mi/111 Louisa Pyne,
Madame Balaton Dolby, Mr. Sines Reeves, and Mr. Winn
assisted. Both oratorios were a most satisfactory per-
formance.

The attendance showed an increase on the nunibers
present at yesterday's oratorio, viz., 458 in the nave and
203 in the aisles, making a total of 661. The sum collected
at the doors of the cathedral for the charity, after the
oratorio, was 148/. 18c, to which is to be added 111. lls.

ladies and gentlemen held the plates to receive the offerings
today :—Lady Emily Foley and Mr. King King, M.P. ;

This gentleman is the 0012 of Mr. Booth, who was brought
forward by the Covent-Garden management as a rival to
Edmund Kean, then in his zenith, at Drury•lane, and who,
having been by Kesn's advice engaged to play at Drury-lane
with Kean, was at once eztingwebed by the superior power
of the great tragedian, and went to America, where ho made
• hit, and remained as a great public favourite.
The dAtetao,i of last night is an American actor of repute,
and does no discredit to the American taste. Thoee who
same expecting any startling outburats„ any new readings,
any marked points, Inuit have been disappointed. Mr.
Booth played the part iu an eminently respectable manner
—readingcorrectly and with judgment, but, save iu the scene
with Tulial, never rising to anything like excitement ; and
while avoiding all occasion for ridicule, csrefully steeringclear
of any chance of rousing his audience to enthusiasm.
Indeed, his performance may be described ac well con-
ceived and well executed ; but we question whether it will
create the slightest excitement, even amongst that excitable
clam, the playgoers of London.

festival of thisociety was held lest evening, at Freemaaons
Han. The chair was occupied by the Mn.“ F. Henry F.
Berkeley, ALP., and the company, which was large, in-
cluded a great number of persons distinguished in our
musical world, as professional artists and as keen of the
art. There was a brilliant assemblage i f ladies in the
gallery and the seised seats at the sad of the hail. Their
presence was exceedingly pleasing, but it would have been
still more so bad the fair visitors been socially mingled
with their relatives and friends round the tables. Nothing
surprises a foreigner more than this uncouth fashion at our

MARKETS.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—Baauronn, MARCH 14.
The wool trade continues in a very unsatisfactory state.
There may be a shade more demand this morning, but
buyers are difficult to meet with. Prime, especially of
lustre wool, can hardly be quoted firm, but are much the
same as last week. The reduction from Christmas to the
present time does not average more than lid. per lb. The
small supply will account for the trifling reduction. Very
little coils and short wools are made, and prices are well
sustained. The business doing in worsted yarns is almost
stagnant. There are buyer, enough for the export trade,
who are free with offers for qualities suitable to the Rus-
sian and German markets ; but these aro, for the most part,
so extremely low, that they cannot be at all
entertained. No previous panic has been no h •
to the spinners. For months past the pries of
yams has been inadequate to the cost of production. The
Asset prices of yarns range from 3d. to 6d. per lb. reduc-
tion during the hat two months. The genital dul.
wss is the piece department has not at all
abated. There has been rather more doing by our
beene-trede merchants in the warehouse during the
pest week, but the parcels sold are very small compared
with what in better times is usual at thin period of the
year. To-day the home merchants are only buying to keep
their stocks assorted. Several continental orders have been
gives out ; they are mostly for fancy gawk, plain goods
being in very limited demand. The weounte from
Femme do sot encourage the hope of • very
speedy improvement ; business is represented es ex•
evadingly dull in Paris and the large cities. On the other
band, we are glad to learn that less anxiety exists amongst
oar foreign merchants about the prospects of their trade.
It is expected that with an improvement in money mat-
two • steady demand will set in from GOTIIIIIOy Stunk,
awl Italy. The rumour that the recent failures at Son Fran-
risco (California) will affect our makers seems to be with-
eat foundation. The absence of the Americas merchant, is
beginning to be severely felt.

THE GREAT FRAUDS ON THE COMMERCIAL

BANE.

John Durden and James Holcroft were again
brought before Mr. Henry, at Bowetreet Police Court, on
the charge of being concerned in stealing large rums of
money from the Commercial Bank. Mr. Humphreys, jun.,
again appeared for the prosecution: Mr. Metcalf forDnrden ;
and Mr. Sleigh for Holcroft. Evidence was given at consi-
derable length to show in what manner Holcroft obtained
the money with which he paid the composition of 4s. in the
pound to his creditors, u mentioned at the last examination.
It WWI also shown that certain sums of money had been paid
out of the Commercial Bank to cheques drawn on Holcrofti
account in October last, and that the notes with which
those cheques ware pad were afterwards wed in payment of
the composition with his creditors by a friend of his named
Ramsay. Somewhat similar eviden,vi was also given as to
the settlement of an action brought against the prisoner
Holcroft cm a bill of exchange, by Messrs. Lawrence and
Mews, solicitous to the London Joint Stock Bank. It also
appeared that Holcroft, when be was bankrupt, placed hi
affirm in the flint instance in the hands of Mr. Watson, the
accountant, to whom he stated that Durden was his creditor
to a large amount, but that he did not wish the name to
appear in the list. Mr. Watson recommended him to put
in every creditor ; sad on his refusal to act on that advice
Mr. Watson withdrew from the case, and Holcroft employed
another firm, Meson. Paul and Turner, to whom he said
nothing about Burden being %coeditor. The primed, were
remanded for further examination. Mr. Humphreys re-
quested that it should be stated that when Mr. Gardner,
of Notting kam, failed, he paid 15s. in the pound, although
liolcrott MS paid 4a. in the pound, which in fact
was the cause al his failure.

with Brat firmness the suns calm demeanour which had so
remarkably characterised him throughout the trying bouts
when he stood I steeing to the evidence against him, sod
which conduct had excited such attention os the part of
those who crowded the place. Upon his arrival in the prison
he did not exhibit any difference in his bearing. That he
eertaialy felt the aerfidners of the dreadful position in
which he was placed there can be no doubt ; but the mas-
tery which he exercised over his countenance prevented
anyone from detecting what were his real sentiments. He

TO TIM WONICITALTIT OT TEM TOWN or

Gentlemen,—Receive my sincere thanks for the honour
which you have done me, and of which the journals have
informed me. The remembrance of which one's native
country gives proof towards her proscribed sons is the
highest reward that these am desire. In naming us—my
brothers in exile and myself- among the men in whom yeti
have confidence—you have proved that, on the one han4
you are the faithful guardians of the national dignity and
rights, old as a thousand yews, and that on the other hand
the Magyar emigrants have discharged their duty. The
faith—that brilliant star which has never suffered itself to
be eclipsed while we were pursuing the darkest paths of our
existence as proscribed men—the faith of again seeing our
country in all its glorious vitality—sustains me more than
ever. Europe—everything announces it—will before long
find herself again converted oa the field of battle. A moat
important part awaits there our country, Let us
beware of following a wrong course. The Austrian govern.
meat is endeavouring to induce one- to believe that her
highest care for the last twelve years had been to find the
means of making the Magyar nation happy; it mould fain
persuade itaelf that the feasts, the on roasted whole, and
the revels of the coronation constitute the ne plus ultra of
our national requirements, and that a visit eventually to the
royal palace of Buda is already a superfietation of majestic
condescension. Let us awaken it. If it keeps silence on
the events very recently East, it is for us to come to the
succour of its modesty. The diet ought to make it under.
stand, that the cloak of St. Stephen himself is not large
enough to conceal from view the agonies and palpable
humiliations into which the peoples of Hungary have
been plunged day after day for eleven years by the sup.
porters of a usurping system. To guarantee the union al
races, behold what ought to constitute the chief object of
our solicitude. Let no smiling perfidy succeed in embroiling
us with our natural allies. Let us reject the apparent
favours of s sinister afterthought, that might be offered to
the prejudice of our Croatian brothers. Let the promisee,
the presents be subjected to a severe scrutiny by us as wen
as by the Slaves and Roumanians, who ate our fellow-
countrymen. In short, when looking at the policy of the
Dirirf ut imparts, let us rally all the inhabitants of our
fliaararian] emmtcy, without exception of race or religion.

It is on this condition ahem that Hungary will become
great and the nation happy —I am, kc., E. Tugs.
