DENSE FOGS.—ACCIDENTS.—During the past week
fogs have prevailed in this neighbourhood, more espe-
cially seaward, and that on Wednesday afternoon
and evening was so impenetrable as to cause serious
inconvenience in crossing the river. Indeed, after
half-pest seven o'clock, all the boats ceased
running from the landing-stage, with the ex-
ception of those belonging to Woodside, and they,
in order to obviate the risk of collision, only ran hourly
from each side. The William Fawcett, Birkenhead boat,
ran foul of a brig anchored off the landing-stage, and had
her mast carried away. Yesterday the Dublin mail-boat,
which generally reaches this port at four o'clock in the
morning, did not arrive till after twelve o'clock at noon;
and the Isle of Man and other coasting steamers
were delayed from the same cause. The Cleveland,
Woodside steam-boat, ran into a vessel and knocked; off
her figure-head. The steamer Royal Victoria, from
Carlisle, in coming up the river, came in contact with
the Loodianah. The steamer lost her cutwater, and the
vessel was slightly damaged. We understand that the
atmosphere inland has been bright and clear. Amongst
the other incidents we may mention that the Tranmere
steamer, Birkenhead, after towing out the Rosendale,
bound for Pernambuco, got lost in a fog, and the captain
was compelled to come to anchor off the Great Orms-
head. With little water or provisions, and a crew aug-
mented by a number of merchants' clerks and others, it
may be supposed the situation of those on board was not
the most comfortable. The steamer got up yesterday
morning, all "as well as could be expected."--Liverpool
Mercury of yesterday.
Mr. Cobden, M.P., and Colonel Thompson, M.P.,
have become members of the Metropolitan Financial and
Parliamentary Reform Association.
Lord Camoys has invented a syphon for drawing
off the milk from beneath the surlace of the cream, and
thus completely separating the two liquids by the sim-
plest means, and with the least possible trouble.
DEATH OF THE VERY REV. DR. SHEEHANo—It is
with feelings of deep regret we record the death of the
venerable and Very Rev. De. Sheehan, parish priest of
Doneraile, and Vicar- General of the diocese of Cloyne
and Ross. He departed this life on the 19th instant,
aged 75 years.—Cork Examiner.

—The Earl of Berkeley, it is currently rumoured,
has been for some time past seriously ill, so much so, we
understand, that his recovery is considered very uncer-
tain.—Cheltenham Looker-on.

A letter-carrier, named John Clarke, was yesterday
remanded from Bow-straet, charged with stealing a letter
containing railway stock and a cheque for 1601., drawn
in favour of Smith, Elder, and Co., Cornhill.
The Right Rev. Dr. Wiseman has forwarded to
the Cardinal Secretary of State, at Gaeta, the sum of
1,2001., collected in the London district for the Sovereign
Pontiff.
