ACCIDENT TO TBE STEAM-SHIP
HiltrA LAY A.

SOUTHAMPTON, June 29.---The peninsular and Ori-
ental Company's steam-ship Himalaya, Captain A. Kel-
lock, arrived off the Isle of Wight last night, from Varna,
Constantinople, and Malta, having made the run from
the latter island in less than eight days. We regret to
have to record ah accident to this fine steam-ship, which
will, however, happily, be attended with consequences
of no serious i►nport beyond the detention and inconve-
nience which may be occasioned.

After passing the Needles at about 10 p.m., the wea-
ther being dark and cloudy, with heavy rain, a sair„
vessel being observed ahead of the Himalaya in rather
dangerous proximity. the helm was shifted to avoid a
collision, and the course of the steamer being. thus
altered, the tide took the vessel on the port bow, and
she ran aground on the east side of Sconce Point, near
Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, opposite Hurst Castle, which
stands on the Hampshire or mainland side of the Solent.
The Himalaya. having reduced her speed, went on shore
gently, the shock. being almost imperceptible, but, in
consequence of the tide being near high water, all the
efforts of Captain Kellock and his crew to back off were
unsuccessful. The ship was in charge of a pilot at the
time, and no blame seems to attach to any party con-
cerned, the mishap being one of those incidental to all
marine affairs. No damage whatever is done to the
hull or machinery, as the ground forms a bed of alluvial
mud and sand, that can do no injury whatever to the
bottom of the ship. After the tide had receded without
enabling Captain Kellock to extricate his vessel from
her unpleasant position, he despatched Mr. Lane, the
purser, to Southampton for assistance.
In less than half an hour after the intelligence of the
disaster had reached Captain Engledue, the superin-
tendent of the company, three powerful steam tugs,
under charge of Mr. A. Lamb, the etigineer.in-chief of
the company, started for the Himalaya. The company's
steamer Tagus, as likewise the South-Western steamers
Atalanta, Courier, and Express shortly afterwards fol-
lowed, makirg in all a flotilla of seven vessels of con-
siderable size and power to assist the Leviathan in dis-
tress. Captain Engledue likewise. telegraphed to the
Admiral commanding at Portsmouth for the loan of one
of the dockyard tugs, with .which to effect the floating.
of the ship at high water at 1 p.m. to-day, it being most
important to get the ship off without delay, as the tides
are daily taking off. The ship was lightened by dis-
charging her chain-cables, anchors, and other heavy
stores into the tug-boats, the water blown out of the
boilers,' tanks pumped out, &c., and every available
means used for temporarily lessening the immersion of the
ship. No withstanding the energy used, and the immense
force of men, ships, and steam-power appropriated to
the purpose, we regret to say that, by a telegraphic de-
spatch received at 5 p.m. to-day in Southampton, from
the Hurst Castle station of the Electric Telegraph Com-
pany, the Himalaya is represented as still remaining
aground and unmoved from her awkward position on
Sconce Point. It is very probable that the preparations for
sufficiently reducing the draught of water of the ship
could not be completed in time for the period of high
water, as the news of the disaster not having reached
Southampton before 8 a.m., it was nearly 11 o'clock ere
any of the steamers arrived on the scene of operations,
thus allowing little more than two hours for the requisite
operations. It is therefore anticipated that, the work
of lightning being in the meantime proceeded with, a
combined effort to get off the ship will be made next
tide, and that the object will be accomplished. Should
all the-e 3 endeavours be unattended with success, the
Himalaya will have to remain for nearly a fortnight on
the mud, till the high tides have again returned to effect
her release. `This detention is not, however, anticipated
by nautical men, who imagine that the ship will very
speedily reach Southampton uninjured, and perfectly
ready for any service that may be required. The Govern-
ment has, it is understood,' intimated their intention of
availing themselves of the services of this fine ship, as
well as of the Simla, of 2,600 tons, for the conveyance
of further bodies of cavalry to the East.

SOUTHAMPTON, Thursday, Midnight.
The latest accounts from-the Himalaya received here
by some of the steamers which 'have brought up the
mails, passengers, and despatches, state that she still
remains imbedded in the mud. The afte'r part of the
vessel is clear, but the forward part hangs to the ground ;
all heavy stores will either be discharged or removed
aft, and there is every probability that by these means
she will come off next tide.

The Himalaya left Varna on the 14th, Constantinople
on the 15th, and Malta on the 19th inst.
She brings 40 passengers and ship letter-bags from the
different ships of the Black Sea fleet, besides despatches
from Lord Stratford de Redcl►ffe, Lord Raglan, Admiral
Dundas, and the Governor of • Malta.
On the 20th inst. the Himalaya signalled her Majesty's
steamer Harpy, entering V►letta harbour.; on the 21st,
' the Z2anna I:3otkitd and the brig Xeepsake, and the
screw-transport Cormorant; on the 23d the brig Harriot,
of Shields, and the brig Hobe ; on the 24th, off Cape
Trafalgar, the steamer Madrid, and at 11 o'clock of the
same night saw a large steamer.
