Captain Craig said he could have sectitiuhalt

Mr. Traill said there were vessels, however, which
carried no lights except by order of the Board of
Trade, and a careful look-out ought to be kept for
these objects.
Alexander M'Kinuon, chief engineer of the
Cobden, said about two minutes before the "crash"

interfere with the work. Lord Derby's Government
may or may not be competent to prepare and pass a
reform bill ; but, at all events, any measure which
they submit to Parliament (might to be considered
on its merits ; and if its principle is affirmed, it is
highly improbable that it will be withdrawn from
the judgment of the House of Commons on a point
of detail. Moreover, there may be no alternative.
Mr. Gladstone cannot but be aware that a Ileform
Bill produced as a party measure would be:rejecteil
as such, and Mr. Bright confesses that anymeasure
answering to his expectations mustbe driven through
Parliament and imposed on the country by force.
Now it is folly to talk of force. That strengthens
the bands of Lord Derby's Government and para-
lyses Mr. Gladstone's party. There can be no forced
legislation. But it might not be impossible to bring
in a Conservative Reform Bill, which could-not be
opposed as illusory by any one who voted for the
bill of 1859 ; and if Ministers consult public opi-
nion, Mr. Bright's agitation may throw whatever
extra weight is required into the scale in their
favour.

The Recent Collision and Loss of Life off
the Suffolk Coast.

Yesterday an official investigation, instituted by
direction of the Board of Trade, was commenced
at the Greenwich Police-court, before Mr. Trail!,
the police magistrate, and Captains Baker and
Hight, as nautical assessors, into the circumstances
attending the collision off the Suffolk coast, between
the screw collier Cobden and the schooner East
Cornwall, by which the lives of the master and two
of the crew of the latter vessel were sacrificed.

Naval and Military Int3llc;ence.

Gen. Peel, Secretary of State for War, was ex-
pected to arrive at Government House, Portsmouth,
last evening, to make a persoAal inspection of the
works now in progress for the defence of Ports-
mouth. Gen. Sir John Burgoyne, R.E., Inspector
General of Fortifications, was also expected at
Portsmouth last evening.
Major-Gen. Sir Robert Walpole, K.C.8., com-
manding the forces in the Chatham district, yes-
terday commenced his half-yearly inspection of the
battalions of infantry at the garrison. In the early
portion of the day Sir Robt. Walpole, accompanied
by the officers of the garrison and Quartermaster-
General's Staff, visited the offices, and inspected the
books, records, and other official documents of the
Ist and 2d battalions at Chatham barracks, subse-
quently visiting the quarters of the non-commis-
sioned officers and men in the north block of build-
ings, where he inspected the barrack-rooms, and
saw the men at dinner. In the afternoon, at 3
o'clock, the depot companies of the seven infantry
regiments comprising the Ist depot battalion in
garrison, consisting of those of the Ist and 2d bat-
talions of the Ist Royals, Ist and 2d battalions of
the 15th Regiment, 2d battalion of the 17th Regi-
ment, 50th Regiment, and the 109th Bombay In-
fantry, were formed on the general parade ground,
under the command of Col. J. W. S. Smith, C. 8.,
whence they were marched to Chatham great lines,
for the customary inspection in battalion drill and
field-day exercises, in which both officers and men
acquitted themselves very satisfactorily. The in-
spection of the remaining corps in the garrison will
be proceeded with during the week.,
Au order has been received at Chatham garrison,
directing the 24th company of Royal Engineers, the
detachments for the 23d company, together with the
draughts for the Ist battalion of the 10th Foot, to
embark at Gravesend on Thursday next on board

Mr. J. Hargreave Hamel, barrister, attended to
conduct the inquiry on behalf of the Board of Trade,
the owners of the East Cornwall being represented
by Mr. Cohen (instructed by Messrs. Ellis, Parker,
and Co.), and those of the Cobden by Mr. Cooper.
Mr. Hamel opened the proceedings with a succinct
account of the accident, which will be found de-
tailed in the evidence ; after which
John Salt, the mate of the East Cornwall, was
examined, and after describing the course steered, and
the ship being tacked, he said, that about eight or
nine minutes after the latter event he heard the
captain call out, " Jump up here, my lads." He went
on deck, and the captain then said there was a
steamer down under the ship's lee. Witness saw the
green and white light of the steamer about half a
mile off, on the port beam. The captain told him
to fill the yards. This was done, and they called
Out at the same time to the steamer to port her helm
and reverse the engines. The steamer soon after
struck the schooner, cutting her right in two, the
schooner having grounded about ten minutes before
the collision. Immediately after the collision wit-
ness jumped into the rigging, and got on board the
steamer. He dragged one of the crew with him,
and a minute afterwards the schooner went down.
He heard the captain of the schooner call out for a
rope, and he threw him two. The boat of the
steamer was not lowered for a quarter of an hour
or twenty minutes after the collision.
By Mr. Cohen—The steamer was going at the
rate of seven or eight knots an hour when she struck
the schooner, the first person he saw in the steamer
was the mate. The schooner was struck by the
steamer a little on the slant. The schooner was in
good condition. Never heard any complaints on
board the steamer that the schooner's lights had not
been seen. Saw the mate of the steamer shortly
after the collision, and he did not say that he had
not seen the lights. About ten minutes before he
came on deck he heard the captain gave orders to
put the ship about.
By Captain Baker—No sail could have obscured
the schooner's lights as they were fitted. There
was no bell on deck, but there was a bell which was
used in foggy weather.

the chartered troopship Merchantman, for convey-
ance to the Cape of Good Hope.
The supply of seamen for the Royal Navy, which
for some time past has been gradually decreasing,
has at length reached what appears to be the mini-
mum point, no men being now available for the
commission and manning of any one ship in either
of the great ports of outfit. the Mersey frigate is
waiting commission at Portsmouth, but there are no
men for her, and supposing she were required to
proceed to -sea within 48 hours' notice, her crew of
seamen could not be supplied to her from the usual
legitimate sources, even were the whole of our home
ports laid under contribution.
Yesterday the shipwrights at Chatham dockyard
re-commenced work upon the screw gunvessel Myr-
midon, 4,695 tons, 200 horse power, which has been
upwards of six years on the stocks, having been
commenced in the summer of 1860. Some time since

it was in contemplation to sell her out of the service
as she stood on the building slip, but the present
board have decided on completing her for launching.
The wrought-iron deck beams for the new screw
sloop Blanche, 8, 1,268 tons, 350 horse power, build-
ing at Chatham Dockyard, have arrived at that esta-
blishment from the Butterly ironworks. Consider-
able progress has been made in the construction of
the Blanche, which has nearly the whole of her out-
side plAnking in place, and some of the deck beams
fI2OZLI7 In reauzuma rut tivr OLle
completed and ready for launching early in the
ensuing year.

Captain Baker said a bell was a gcod signal to
warn an approaching vessel.
The witness said he did not think a bell better
than the crew screaming out as they did. A man
waved the binnacle light for three minutes before
the collisou. The red light was burning brilliantly
while witness was hauling in the foreyard.
By Mr. Trail—At the time of the collision could
see the hull of a vessel the same size as the schooner
a quarter of a mile off.
William Morris, seaman on board the East Corn-
wall, said he was on deck from 12 o'clock until the
time of the collision. The schooner's lights were
trimmed about 20 minutes before the collision.
Witness saw the masthead light of the steamer when
she was about a mile and a half distant, and about
a minute and a half afterwards he saw her green
light, but never saw the red light. He reported
seeing the masthead light of the steamer to the cap-
tain, who asked him which way the steamer was
going, and he told him he thought she was going to
the south. The captain had the helm in his hand
and put it hard a-port, at the same time singing
out to the steamer, " Hard a-port !" A man was
in the main rigging on the port side waving the
binnacle lamp. The steamer was then about a
quarter of a mile off, and the collision occurred
about three minutes afterwards.

Thelioyal Sovereign, turret ship, Captain F. H.

By Mr. Cooper—The schooner was put about
before her lights were trimmed.

Herbert, was officially inspected yesterday morning
by Capt. W. C. Chamberlain, the officer command-
ing the Steam Reserve at the port, preparatory to
being paid out of commission. The ship, iu appear-
ance on deck and below, in cleanliness, and in the
perfection of all the internal arrangements, repre-
sented the beau ideal of a British man-of-war, and
elicited the warmest commendations of Capt. Cham-
berlain. The Royal Sovereign, on being paid out
of commission, will be attached to the Excellent,
gunnery ship, as a drill ship for the instruction of
seamen in the working of heavy ordnance in tur-
rets. Staff-Commander 11. G. Raynes, the three

The Gosforth, sailing Indiaman, a fine frigate-
built ship, belonging to Messrs. T. and W. Smith,
of London, embarked the following troops yesterday
alongside Portsmouth dockyard for conveyance to

Robert High said he was a seaman on board the
East Cornwall, and went below at 12 o'clock on the
night of the collision. When ho came on deck he
saw the schooner's red light burning brightly, and
he should think the ship's lights could have been
seen a mile and a half or two miles on that night.
By Mr. Traill—The schooner's sails were not
bleached, or white, but dark, like those of a collier.
By Mr. Cooper--When he first saw the three lights
of the steamer she was about half a mile off.
By Captain Baker—Those on board the steamer
ought to have seen the schooner's red light and bin-
nacle light, if a good look-out had been kept. The
man at the wheel of the steamer told witness, on the
following morning, that he saw the schooner's lights,
and he (witness) saw the hull of a brig to leeward of
the schooner a quarter of a mile off.
Capt. James Smith Craig, master of the Cobden,
was next examined. He said he was on deck until
one o'clock on the morning of the collision. At
that time the weather was very dark, but clear, and
he could see a long way off, both the Orfordness and
Lowestoft lights. The lights of the steamer would
burn 16 hours without trimming. At the time of
going off deck the wind was S.W. by W.,

SALMON TURNED INTO THE THAMES.

In the course of last season Mr. Ponder, of Hampton,
hatched, on behalf of the Thames Angling Preservation
Society, a large number of salmon and trout. When largo
enough these fish were turned out into thousring pond.s
near Sunbury lock. Mr. Ponder now repothat ho has
turned them out into the Thames. The places chosen were
shallows at Penton Hook, Sunbury, and Thames Ditton.
Many of the salmon and trout were more than four inches
long. The young Thames trout wore remarkably well
grown and healthy.
Mr. Ponder has received a beautiful little salmon parr, his
silver migratory coat just showing. The fish was caught at
Richmond by Mr. Schneider whilst angling for roach, the
bait being two gentles. Ho has also sent me a plump,
handsome fish, about 10 inches long, caught on the 24th of
September at Kew-bridge. This fish I have turned in
live smelts at the Horticultural Gardens. It is,
among my
either a great lake or sea trout ;, bfit, the

fisunclareexysabnieliiiiit°imnon, I cannot be quite positive as to its identity
at present.
Mr. Ponder has male an excursion from Hampton to
Brentford at low water. The stream was quite clear, and
the gravel stones at tho bed of the river could be seen nearly
all the way. With perseverance and patience wo trust to
make the Thames once more a salmon-producing river.—
