FATAL STEAM-BOAT COLLISION

AT LAMBETH.
A serious accident, by which two lives were losi
and several persons placed in great jeopardy, occurred
on Saturday night last on the River Tnames, off the
Hungertord Suspension-bridge, on the Surrey side.
On the night is question, Mr. William Hawtrey, the
elder son of one of the members of the Court of Corn-
mon Council for Bread street ward, and four other
gentlemen, hired a randan skiff of Mrs. Needhaive
boatbuilder, at St. Paul's-wharf, for the purpose of
proceeding up the river. The five persons having
entered the vessel, they steered her some distance up
without meeting with any accident, but on arriving
near Bennett's-wharf, in the Belvidere•read, they
pereeived a steam-boat coming towards them at a
rapid pace from Hungerford-market. The persons in
the skiff cried to the captain of the steamer to "ease"
or "turn astern," but, as the speed of the larger vessel
was not diminished, it was imagined that probably her
crew were going to moor her for the night in the roads
hard by. Uefortunately,ho wever, such was not the case,
and the nose of the steamer came violently into col-
lision with the skiff, so as to cut her gunwale in two,
which caused her instantly to fill with water, and the
five gentlemen, together with a lad named William
Higton, a nephew of the owner of the boat, became
immersed. Those who were on the steamboat, having
witnessed the occurrence, cried out for assistance,
but, owing to the lateness of the night, none of the
regular watermen at the various stairs were present to
render the sufferers any aid. The steamboat was
stopped immediately after the collision, and ropes
with life-buoys were thrown out to those struggling
in the water, but owing to the darkness of the night,
they were unable to lay hold of them ; and, had it not
been for the fortunate circumstance of a man named
Mackaway, one of Mr. Tomlinson's, the boatbuilder's,
men, passing in his wherry, and hearing the
screams, the whole six persons must have pe-
rished. As it was, this man, at the risk of losing
his life, by having his own boat pulled over, succeeded
in rescuing two of the sufferers, who were in a very
exhau,ted state. They were forthwith removed to
the Swan 'Lavern, llungerford-market, where every-
thing was done for them that the nature of their case
required. Two others were also saved ; one by
swimming to the shore, and the other by clinging to
one of the buoys in the river. Mr. Ilawtrey and
Mrs. Needham's nephew were both drowned. It is
supposed that when the steamer
struck the s)nall boat
they must have received serious injuries, as they
were never seen to rise afterwards. The drags were
instantly procured, and the river was searched for
and also the greater portion
hours during the night,
of yesterday, but up to biz o'clock last evening (Sun-
day) neither of the bodies had been found. The
name of the steam-boat which caused the accident
was the Dahlia' belonging to the London and West-
minster Penny Company. The captain defies that
he heard any one call, until it was too late to prevent
the melancholy catastrophe.
