THE COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL.—The Maidstone
transport was taken into No. 5 Dock, at Devonport, on
Saturday. Her cutwater is completely twisted from
port to starboard, nearly up to the figure head. Great
apprehensions are felt for the vessel she came in contact
with. The general belief is she has sunk, and perhaps
with all her hands.
SUICIDE Or DR. GRAHAMSLEY.—WORCESTER, Mon-
day.--The most profound sensations of surprise and
regret pervaded this city this morning from intelligence
received at an early hour that Dr. Grahamsley, the medi-
cal (in fact, the) superintendent of the "Worcester City
and County Lunatic,Asylum at Powick, had7committed
suicide by taking prussic acid. Dr. Grahamsley was in
Worcester on Saturday last, in his usual health and
spirits,and up to the time of writing no cause is as-
signed for the melancholy deed. The doctor is a Scotch-
man by birth, and was appointed to the asylum at its
completion about two :or threo years ago. 110 was
