BOURSE, Aug. 23.—Two o'clock.—There is a very
small attendance at the Bourse. The only event of
note is a quarter per cent. fall from London, which
is differently explained—the apprehensions, by some,
that the directors of the Bank of England will ad-
vance the rate of discount to-morrow; and the fear,
by others, that the immense quantity of rain which
has lately fallen in England will affect the agricul-
tural interests. The funds here, though higher than
at the opening, are still below yesterday's prices.
Threes, for the Accounb, are quoted 68fr. 75c., and
Crddit Mobilier Shares 775 fr. Discounting opera-
tions may now be considered at an end for the pre-
sent month ; to-day's list only carries a few North

The Steamboat Collision on Lake Huron,

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.)
DETROIT, August 11.

A collision occurred between the steamboat
Pewabic and Meteor, at half-past six o'clock on
Wednesday 'evening, six miles from shore.

The Pew abic was struck on the port bow, just
aft the pilot-house, and sunk in three or four
minutes.

The boats were running at full speed, and struck
with such terrible force as to crush in the entire
bow of the Pewabic.

At the time the accident occurred it was scarcely
dark, and the boats saw each other six miles apart.
When approaching they exchanged signals, and the
Pewabic bore off to pass, but the Meteor, for some
unexplained reason, turned in the same direction
and struck the Pewabic. A number of the pas-
sengers on board the Pewabic were killed by the
crushing of her timbers. A few jumped on board
the Meteor before the Pewabic sunk.

Lifeboats were immediately lowered from the
Meteor, and picked up those who were not carried
down with the wreck.

One hundred and seventy-five to two hundred
persons were on board the Pewabic at the time
of the disaster. Seventy-five of the passengers
and twenty-three of the crew were saved.
The loss of life cannot be correctly ascertained
as yet, but it will be near 100.

The Meteor remained near the scene of the dis-
aster till morning, in the hope of picking up any
persons that might be still floating on pieces of
wreck, but none were found.
The propeller Mohawk passing down, the sur-
vivors were transferred to her from the Meteor,
and brought to this city.
The Meteor was but slightly injured, and con-
tinued her trip to Lake Superior.

MARKETS—This Day.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Our market to-day was very moderately supplied with
beasts, chiefly in middling condition. Prime breeds moved
off freely at prices quite equal to Monday last. Otherwise,
the beef trade was heavy at barely late rates. The top
figure was ss. 4d., the extreme, ss. 6d. per 8 lbs. The show
of sheep was rather limited, nevertheless the mutton trade
was quiet on former terms. A few Downs and half-breeds
sold at 6s. Bd. per 8 lbs. The few lambs on offer were dis-
posed of at from 6s. to 7s. per 8 lbs. Calves moved off
slowly at late rates, viz., from 4s. 2d. to ss. 2d. per 8 lbs.
Pigs were quite as dear as last week ; but mulch cows were
very dull.

Per 81b to sink the offal.
