kCCIDENTS IN THE MERSEY.—On Thursday evening,

ter, was
proceeding down the Mersey from the Royal
/nail steam-ship America, she came in contact with the
net Martha, of and from Bymbo, and cut her down to
the Water's edge. No lives were lost. Another acci-
dent took place yesterday morning on board the Countess
Sefton, loading in the George Duck, for Lima. A
cask of varnish, while being lowered into the hold, fell
alit: of the slings and burst. A lighted candle was used

REn MAJESTY'S SHIP VALOROUS.—The locality of
the Great Western Railway Terminus, at Paddington,
Was yesterday enlivened by the appearance of some 30
or 40 of the gallant crew of her Majesty's ship Valorous,
'which made so much havoc on the granite walls of
13emarsund. The brave fellows, we were informed, were
Paid up on Wednesday, and the ship having to undergo
repairs, the men were granted ten days' leave of absence,
and this party (consisting chiefly of natives of Plymouth)
took their passage by the ten o'clock morning train for
that locality. Many of the lads carried with them
various trophies from the scene of their gallant exploits.
One carried with him a " Rooshan shako," surmounted
with an eagle ; another shouldered, in the most comical
manner, a sapper's spade ; a third brandished a real
" Rooshan” sword. Others carried with them pieces of
the external works of Bomarsund, which appeared to
be of red granite, apparently as hard as Scotch granite.
These were exhibited with great glee, to show that, as
one fine fellow said, "Its d—d hard stuff, but you see
nothing can resist British when well served."
STRENGTH OF IRON SHIPS.—The recent history of
the iron screw-steamer Sarah Sands affords an excellent,
illustration of the strength of iron ships, if well and sub-
stantially built. Previously to her last sailing from the
Mersey, she grounded on the Woodside Bank, and re-
Mained high and dry during one tide, having in her 1,000
tons dead weight, until the tide flowed again, during
which time she did not sustain the slightest damage. On
her return passage from the St. Lawrence to Liverpool,
she got aground on the rocks of Bell Isle, where she re-
teamed four days and four nights. On her arrival in
Liverpoo it was found that she was perfectly sound, not
even a rivet having started, nor was there the slightest
bulge or uneveness perceptible. On leaving the graving-
dock the other day she capsized, owing to her ballast
having been removed, but she sustained no injury.
These mishaps prove the superior manner in which she
'was built ; for it is difficult to suppose that even a
'wooden vessel would have stood all these casualties
without sustaining damage. The Sarah Sands was built
in Liverpool, by Mr. J. Hodgson, consulting engineer,
More than eight years ago.--Liverpool Albion.
DEAL, Sept 13.—Yesterday, as Master Henry Col-
lins, son of Mr. John Collins, surgeon, of Piccadilly,
a.,._1(1 grandson of Lieutenant Batt, R.N., was bathing in
e sea, he perceived that a boy a few yards from him
was out of his depth, and that the tide, then running
very fast, was carrying him rapidly away. Young Col-
lins although only a learner in the art of swimming,
:tan ly struck out, fortunately reached the boy just a,
wa sinking, brought him to shore, and then, with
great presence of mind, made every endeavour, by rub-
bingß the chest, &c., to restore animation, which v:as
suspended
pended ; fortunately, he succeeded, and, after a time
the youth was enabled to proceed home.
