Le Nord publishes the following despatch :—" Ham.
burg, Tuesday—Two steamers, one from Kiel, the
other from Korsoer, came into collision last night out
at sea. The shock was so violent that both vessels ha.
mediately sunk, but the passengers were saved."
THE WRECK OF THE BOWIERANG.—GALLANT CON.
DUCT.—Capt. Williamq, of the American line of packet-
ship American Congress, on his passage from New York
to London, fell in with the wreck of the British ship
Boomerang, from Mobile for Liverpool, and by his
exertions, assisted by the second officer, Mr. Haw-
kins, was enabled to save the chief officer and four
seamen, remaining on the wreck. In so doing he
lost his life boat, and, upon representing the same
to the Marine Department of the Beard of Trade,
received in answer a very handsome letter, thanking
him and Mr. Hawkins for their gallant conduct, with
an order for the payment of the loss of his boat, and
stating it to be their lordships' intention to bring the
matter before the Secretary of State for Foreign Af-
fairs, in order that his lordship may consider the pro-
priety of acknowledging, by some mark of approbation
on the part of the British Government, the services ren-
` dered by the officers.
