the machinery, and spread with such rapidity that from the
time of its appearance at three o'clock up to a few hours after
the place wascompletely gutted. The tire brigades from Liver-
pool were in attendance shortly after the fire broke out, bet
their efforts to save the property were completely unavailing.
owing to the inefficient supply of water, and a strong A 44
which materially increased the force of the flames. A
police inspector named Commeliu, whilst working with a
body of men ender the engine-house walls, was crushed is,
death by the walls falling upon him, and another man wan
much bruised by the debris. Insurance covers Jfevans

COLLISION AND LOSS OF LIFE IN TER BRISTOL
CHANAPI..—SINRINO OP A SHIP AND CREW.--InlnlligPfiell
has been received at Bristol of a terrible catastrophe which
happened i.t an early hour on Sunday morning, and by which
ea entire ship's crew (excepting only three hands) were
hurried foto eternity. The mime of the sunken vessel was
the Mary Ann Dunus, barque, of Newport, Captain
Groves, commander, and the CAIN, of the terrible jt=
occurrence was a collision between her and an American
vessel, the name of which is tat stated in the report cloak
hes come to hand. The Mary Ann Duffing heel taken w •
cargo of eial for a foreign port, and would have sailed isms
days ago had it not beim (or the adverse winds which have
prevailed, sad by which she has been detained in the Pe
earth Roods. (in Satiiniar there was a let of a shift for the
north-west, and Captain Groves thought that he would en-
deavour to beat down channel, and got under sail for that
purpose. All went on very well until just after midnight,
when the man on the look-out called out " A sail ahead."
It must have been thick at the time, for before the vessel's
course could bare been altered the two shire came into eel-
lision. The shock is described es having been • terrific one,
as indeed it must have been, for the Mary Ann Duane went
down with such rapidity that the captain and crew bad ally
just time to jump into the boat and cut it adrift before ih•
sunk. Time was not even allowed them to push off from
the doomed and sinking vessel, and shocking to relate, the
boat was drawn down in the gulph or vortex. The rat
mate, • son of the captain, who was on board, and one ef
the crew, rose again, and swimming for their lime were
picked up when all but exhausted, but the master, Chiplaiei
Groves, and all the others, sank to rise no more. As there
are possibly three survivors of the terrible tragedy. more
light will probably be thrown upon its canes. The sad
event has cast quite • gloom over Newport, whore Captain
Groves was greatly respected.
