COLLISION IN THE IRISH CHANNEL.--On Saturday
night last, about 9 o'clock, a collision, which might
have been attended with fatal results, took place in the
Irish Channel. As the Prince Arthur steamer, belong-
ing to the City of Dublin Packet Company, with the
mail and a great number of passengers on board, was
proceeding on her course towards Holyhead, she was,
when about 15 miles from Kingstown, run into by a
brig, about 200 tons burden, in full sail, the steamer at
the time going at the rate of 12 or 15 miles an hour.
The bowsprit of the brig ran into the starboard paddle-
box of the steamer, causing a tremendous crash and
staving in the quarter-deck boat. Fortunately the ves-
sels got okra-, or both might have gone down together.
The steamer was, however, completely disabled, and
after lying for about an hour in a crippled condition,
burning red lights, was taken in tow by her Majesty's
steamer Paisley, and brought to Holyhead at a quarter
to 9 o'clock yesterday morning. The brig, which was
not much injured, proceeded on her course. The con-
fusion and panic on board the steamer was increased by
its being discovered there was no knife at hand to cut

easterly gales.

He subsequently convoked the Cabinet Council/

M. Moyano, who differed in opinion with his
colleagues, tendered his resignation, which was ac-

on until about three yeari since; 'whenWe-w-e're intro
duced to Mrs. Tom Ashton, who appeared an unwieldly,
brazen-faced, flippant,
middle-aged lady. " Why, what-
ever inducedhim to marry such an unsuitable person ?"
asked we whilst discussing the wonder. "I'll tell you,
my dear," said an old gentleman, "she had thirty thou-
sand pounds, and that was the heaviest 'dibber' Torn
has ever been knocked down with." "Indeed," we ex-
claimed, "and that levelled him with the married and
happy, did it ?" "Query," returned our old friend,
" just watch him and judge." Sure enough Tom sneaked
about the rooms as though he were afraid of meeting
what belonged to him, and seemed to have-lost all his
"big talk" and self-esteem. "So you are really mar-
ried, at last," said we as we greeted him in a quiet cor-
ner. Tom avoided answering, but we sat down and
talked of old times. "Do you remember the scarlet
beans ?" we asked with a smile. " Ay," said Toro, with
anything but a smile, "they were happy days then.
What a fool I was ever to pull up those beans ! but
never mind, have you any commands for Australia ?"
and sure enough within six month, Tom Ashton went
to Australia, but without his wife. Ah, Tom ! our
wooden dibber gave you an ugly blow on the face, but
we sadly fear the golden dibber will leave you an uglier
mark on your heart, and that the fate of our second
sweetheart is worse than that of our first.
London, England, 1853-08-08

BIRTHS.

The births fluctuate less than either the marriages or
the deaths, and in the three quarters ending June 1851-
52-53, the numbers were 159,138, 159,136, and 158,718,
or nearly the same in amount, but considerably above
the average of preceding years. The births, on an ave-
rage of 10 spring quarters, were at the rate of 3.428
per cent. ; in the last quarter ending June 30 the rate
was 3.507 on the population.

INCREASE OF POPULATION.
As the births of 158,718 children and the deaths of
107,861 persons of all ages were registered in the quar-
ter, a balance of 50,857 remains in favour of the popu-
lation. The excess of births over deaths is less by
eight or twelve thousands than the excess in the cor-
responding quarters of the three previous years ;
chiefly owing to the high rate of mortality in 1853.
115,959 emigrants sailed from the ports of the United
Kingdom at which there are Government emi-
gration agonts ; 78,205 to the United States, 20,107
to British North America, 17,152 to the Australian
Colonies, and 495 to other places. 7,884 of the emi-
grants sailed from Glasgow and Greenock, 16,993 from
Irish ports, 74,646 (including many Irish) from Liver-
pool, 2,095 from Plymouth, 3,722 from Southampton,
and 10,619 from London. The emigration from the
United Kingdom has been at the rate of 8,920 a-week,
equal to the number of inhabitants in a majority of the
368 municipal boroughs of Great Britain. In Scotland
and Ireland the births and deaths of the population are
left unregistered, so that it is impossible to determine
the rate of natural increase in the United Kingdom ; but
at the rate prevailing in England, which it cannot ex-
ceed, the excess of births over deaths would be 79,820,
or less by 36,139 than the 115,959 emigrants.
The price of provisions during the quarter was consi-
derably higher than the ruling prices in the correspond-
ing months of the year 1852 ; wheat was sold on an
average at 445. 6d. a quarter ; beef, by the carcase, in
London, at 4d. per pound ; mutton, sid. per pound;
potatoes (York regents) at 1275. 6d. per ton. The price
of wheat was 10 per cent., beef 22 per cent., mutton 31
per cent., potatoes 31 per cent. higher in April, May,
June, 1853, than in the corresponding months of 1852.
It is evident that the price of wheat bears no longer any
constant relation to the price of the other chief articles
of food consumed by the rich or the poor ; and it must
be considered a fortunate circumstance that the price of
bread is not now likely to fluctuate so largely as the
prices of the more perishable articles with which the
markets of England are supplied from a comparatively
limited area.
