Distiny
With the exception of the Constance, the whole of the
beautiful craft got uadcr weigh when the booming of the
Min et eleven exactly reached the ears of the expectant
crews. It was one of the meat superb starts ever witnessed :
of the three foremost weeds, the leader could hardly he de-
tected, but off Cowes Castle the white hull of the Mirage
drew nh.ad by about a length. There was a reviler hard
breeze from ',bout N. by E , and the white vile of the
little fleet were soon well filled. presenting a gratifying con-
, treat to the meagre condition they were in on the previous
matches of the week. Off Egypt, the Destiny took the van-
guard station, the large schooner the Wyrern clue astern,
and the Mirage next. They than ran down to Yarmouth
Roads,. and were so in lost in the hazethat Lung neer the
water in that direction. On their return, when iff Outwit
Bay. the Titania had taken the lead, with a difference of
nearly a mile between her and the following veas:l, the
Destiny; the Ballerina came neat, end after her the
Wyvern. The hefty itill continued, and the re*, of speed
atte,ned by the yachts was remarkably good. The leading
yachts passed the Squadron H at Cowes at the follow.
log Omit—The Titania, at 12.50 ; the Destiny, at 12 53
(this vessel having gained a little on the Titania); the Bal-
-1 lulus, at 12 55; thus accomplishing the run in half the
-irne required on Tuesday. Te;) ;Len held on through the
reads towards the Nab bah% wh left was fleet rounded by the
Titania, 11 minutes a hind of the next vessel, the Destiny.
Fortune, however, favoured h•r, for soon atter she reached
away to the northward, where she caught a bevel that
(Dolled her to pew her opponent, and get into the first
place.
N ,w came the most reciting part or the contest; for, as
',on as they w.re made out cn the Hampshire coast, the
Wyvern, Motley, acd Mirage were close arern of each
I other. After rounding th.- light v, eel. and as trey stood
over to the goal MT the Squadron nous., it was hardly poi-
siblo to ray which held te.e had; the Destiny, Warern,
Mirage, and Titania were at one rims nearly abreast. each
having a gco4 wind. The Destiny then drew ahead, and
first presented her broadside to the gas, of the excited
spectators in the Sq *Aron House sail on the parade in
front. The report ut the gun announced that she had won
the cup, and then h. r gallant, rew gave cent to their pent-
up See.: in therm. My British che, rs. The Titania.
Ws vern, end Mirage rounded alincet abreast, and passed
the battery close astern of each other. The extraordinary
close nature of th• contest will be best seen fr.m the time
taken at the Squadron Hoese by the secretary, Mr.
Bates :

1).-atitty 526 N Mirage 5 29.40
Titania 528 20 B.ll.rina
Wyvern 5 28.30
The distance run by the yachts wis upwards of 40 wiles,
and it was generally alluwtd that fo exciting a close wu

squadron.

COLLISION AT THE LEICESTER RAILWAY STATION.
—On Friday morning, at seven o'clock, the penenger train
for Ashby and Burton was just leavi.:g the Leicester station,
when a serious accident occurred, rut happily not attended
with fatal consequence,. tip trains, on leaving Leicester
station, have to cross toe clown line, and as this trans was
so crossing, a down goods-train, ahiah was due at Leicester
at half-past six o'clock, but WstS halt an hour behind time; ran
into it. The signal tad been given for the roods train to
stop, but it war such a very heavy train, consisting of 83 or 84
carriages, and the approach to Leicester ration being a de-
cline, that the driver was unable to stop it soon enough.
Tae engine of the good..train struck the projecting portion
of the bre. k of the passenger train, which it meshed in, and
faced a lag: piece of it through the front compartment of a
second class carriage which was next it. The steps of the
second-class carriage were broken close off, and the side of
the first and second compartments of the carriage were
smashed in. The front coupe of a first class carnage was
also smashed in in such a ma..ner, that had it contained any
passenger he could scarcely have escaped alive. Fortunately,
however, there was no firuclass passenger, nor were there
any passengers in the first or a. cend comp ailments of the
second-class carriage. In the last compartment, which was
not broken, there were two panergera, tnd in a third-class
carriage at the back of the train there were several who were
shaken aid slightly bruised, but none of them sustained any
serious injury. The guard who was in the break of the pas-
senger train saw his dangerous position just in Limo to jump
out on the other aide, sad so escaped unhurt. None of the
passengers who bad been bruised were to seriously hurt as
to prevent them proceeding on their journey in other car-
riages, which were IJOSI provided for the purpose.—Leces •

DEATH BY DROWNING IN YORK.—On Friday
evening an icquest was held before John Wood, Esq., coro-
ner, at the Railway Tavern, Tanners' Moat, n the body of
a respectable•looking moo, apparently about sixty veers of
age, who had been found drowned. On Wednesday
veiling, between seven and eight o'clock, the deceased, who
bad arrived in York by one of the trains (we believe from
the south), put up at Mr. Gray's Temperance Hotel, at the
end of Thadson•street. The address upon his luggage was
" Iliac Coulson, passenger to York." At about ten o'clock
next right he was observed by the side of the river Ouse,
Ever Northstreet Postern. He had been seen there Woo
daring the' afternoon. Mr. Gray sat up waiting for him
till two o'clock on Friday morning, but he never returned.
His body was subsequently found in the river. Upon his
shirt were the initials " J.C.," No. 2. and in his peekets
were found 151. 4s. 9d., a patent lever silver watch, at-
tacked to a bitch ribbon, with a gold *eel and key, two
silk handkerchiefs, and other articles. Some keys were
bond which opened his luggage, and among other articles
were discovered two documents, one of them being a
mortgage bond for 20W. from the Cock.rmouth and
Work ngton Railway Company to Isaac Coulson, of Cum-
wbintom, near Carlisle, Cumberland, gentleman • and the
other a certificate of share held by Isaac Coulson in the
Ralston Joint• Stock Bristles Company, but in this instance
he was described as a farmer. There can, therefore. be no
doubt of the fact that the deoeued was the Isaac Coulson
therein spoken or, nod there is little doubt also that be
committed suicide, though there was no evidence clearly
to establish that suck was the case. Under all the cir-
cumstances the jury could come to no ether conclusion
titan that the deceased had been "Found Browned.'

Penytlarran Iron Works, Merthyr. Lewis Party, a young
man who was sleeping in the same cabin, says that at about
amarcloaaldbeadrge with railway iron from the
midnight he was awoke by finding the water of the canal
rushing in upon them. He sprung up, and felt one of his
companions struggling in the water by his side. Not a weed
wee said (both b-• log under water), but a desperate effort
was mad. to save their lives. in a short time his companion
sunk in a standing position, and his hied rested under Lewis
Parry's shoulder; thereby saving hie life; for by it his
(Parry's) face was supported close to the ceiling of the cable,
between which and the water there was a slight monist of
space. Perry's face was turned upwards, and his
mouth and nostrils were above the water. However his
consciousness quickly deserted him ; and he knows no
more of the occurrence till he found himself in a n ,f
log house, whither he was conveyed by some who
I ease to his rescue. It is presumed the carge..*lle pays-
