FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 21, 1850.

hutted a vessel. There were no persons ill, and all went
on comfottibly until we struck. I then leaped out of
my berth and ran on deck. I thnwseit there had been'
a collision with another vessel. When I looked over the
starboard quarter I saw, large deteched masses of what
I conceived at first to be the fragments of a vessel
which we had run down, standing up out of the water;
but on a closer examination, I felt convinced they were
rocks, and I saw the shore, boldly and clearly defined,
rising at about four hundred yards distance. The vessel
drifted in a little after striking,. When we struck we
were about six hundred yards beyond the Portpatrick
Lighthouss. There was no rebound after the vessel
struck; it was a cutting, crushing sound, as if from the
speed at which she was going and the sharpness of the
shock sho was incapable of offering resistance, and the
water rnshed in. The engines ceased immediately;
they did not even make a hallturn rife:. the shock. In
a moment or two after the shock it was visible the
vessel was going down head-foremost, and when the
water get int) the enginesroom and quenched the fires
the deck was enveloped in steam. At this juncture the
boat on the starboard quarter was taken possession of
by a crowd of passengers, but in consequence of the
fore trickle being undone before the after gear,
all in her, with the exception of three, who clung
to the seats were thrown into the sea, and many of them
were droned. The after tackle was subsequently let
go, but this boat never righted. I then turned my at-
tention to the boat on the larboard quarter; a large
number of passengers was gathering atmut her. Tee
vessel at this time was ft:it settling down, and perhaps
fire minutes had elapsed from the time of striking when
far the first time I saw the captain. He stool up on one
of the seats of the Tie:ter-deck and requested the whole
of the passengers to remain quiet; there was no danger
to be apprehended, and only those who left the vessel
wore sure to be l)st. The vessel swamped in font or
five minutes afterwards; but before she did so sho struck
heavily on her starboard quarter, and the passengers
gathered about the second boat lost their footing, and
were thrown into the scruppers, the water washing over
them. Many found a grave on the deck of the Orion.
The large lifeboat was.wita much difficulty got out just
as the vessel was going down. Myself, my wife, and
daughter, whom I found on deck, jumped into her off
tho taffrail, which at this time, owing to the vessel's
lurch, was a height of 20 feet. We were only slightly
bruised. There were 28 saved in this lifeboat, and out of
that number there was but one neama,n. To the best of
my knowledge, I never saw a sailor during the whole
time of the catastrophe. The largest proportion of the
passengers were ladies: The'' boats from the shore did
good service after the vessel sank. There was great
quietness amongst the passengers, and no screaming.
Two-thirds at least of the passengers were on deck when
the vessel went down, but I thiult a number must have
been drowned in the cabins." Mr. Anderson bears high
testimony to the kindness he experienced in Portpatrick.

CHANGES Ili THE POST-OFFICE.
Yesterday a meeting cf the proprietors and represen-
tatives of various London newspapers took place at
Pecle's Coffee-house, Fleet•strect, for the purpose of
taking into consideration the beet means of inducing
Parliament to retrace their steps 'as regards the altera-
tions which have just ben made in the transmission of
letters and newspapers through the Post-office on Sun-
day. Mr. Ingram, of the Illustrated London News, took
the chair.
Mr. SERLE, of the Trec.lly Dispatch, moved the first
resolution, and in doing so unserved that this alteration
would have met with a more strenuous opposition if
those who were connected with the press looked more
closely to the matter, and came to understand how
closely it affected them. In no other country under
the sun, in which thu people enjoyed anything like a
constitutional form of government, and in which the
press exercised something like its natural influence,
could any such insult be offered by a Government as
so suddenly to stop the transmission of a very large
majority of the newspapers through the Post-
°Tee on ono day in the week. The fact of
the Government having the power to insult them, in
such a manner arose from their not acting in a body.
In the resolution which he had the honour to propose,
he had endeavoured to embrace—first, a censure on the
Ministry, for abrogating its functions at the beck of a
few Members of the House of Commons; and for not
daring to say at ;the moment what they thought right
and wrong; therefore suffering the wrong to be done,
and allowing the opposing parties to fight it out as best
they might, having in the first instance given the wrong
party the advantage by carrying out their wishes. It
was by these means the Government set at variance two
parties without injuring or effeuding the Sabbatarians,
who were headed by Lord Ashley.—(llear, hear.) The
second point to which he would ask their attention was
that the stamp duty wee supposed to carry their news-
papers free of postage from one end of the kingdom to
another. If it did that for one portion of the press, he
could not see why it should not do it for the other.—
(Hear, hear.) It was as gross an injustice as could be
inflicted. Lie thought that they ought at once to ap-
point a committee, formed by members of the prls,
which should from that day forth be ready to act on
all such occasions. They were not prepared for such
a sudden step as had been taken by the Government,
and it was only that day that Mr. Ingram asked whether
newspapers were included in the notice given by the
Government. He was of opinion that if they acted in
concert in this matter, they would compel the Prime
Minister to acknowledge that ho was wrong in ceasing
an insult on the press by giving them such a short no-
tice of the steps which he was about to adopt. If he
could believe that their meeting that night could lead to
the formation of such a committee nee h 0 had mentioned,
and which would be determined to do justice is their
great and noble calling, and to the many interests ellich
were concerned in matters of this kind, and would put a
stop to the constant annoyance given by any bigoted
Member of Parliament who wished to bring in a Sunday
Trading Bill, he would be much gratified with the alter-
ations which the Government had been pleasel to make.
After observing that the press of this country would ex-
ercise greater power than the press on the continent pos-
sessed, with much less ability, if they only acted with
unanimity, Mr. Serb proposed a resolution to the effect,
" That the meeting conceived that the Ministry, in
stopping the use of the post by the weekly ne espapere,
in an address moved by only 95 Members of the House
of Commons, had shrunk from its duty as a Govern-
ment." e..

Mr. Cox, Of the Low Times, seconded the relolution,
and stated that he cuuld not but share the general feel-
ing that a monstrous injustice had been attempted to be
practised on them on this occasion. Tho regulation
which hai been r.itacConed by the Government would
compel the pliblishers of weekly newspapers to have
them posted on Friday to enable their readers in the
country to receive them by Sandßy. It woulf, theref,.
preiluye a,l iio-aiense dee!ine hi the circulation of the
err oily rt,,w.ipapers which cJ,•cle out on ,t-:aturday, ns 'hey
coial not ty) rcce:tr,d Ly 1110ir su'o.,,.cribera until MourlA •
Cher subscribers Chiding that they hid to wal ts-enty-
four hours for their r.ewspapers would very soon bt•gtn
to r•ubsetiptions. It WalS a !ratter therefore of
gnat pPeuniary interest to the proprietors of weekly
newpiiers th,st such e. system should immediately be
put a 5t.211 to. Ho ihought that it W,15 a rnonEtroiti thing
tlizt.'• it should be hr the power of a portion of cue branch
of the L.,frislature, witiriut taking the full sense of the
House of Commons, and withcui obtaining the sanction
of the House of Lords, to ptlts a regulation tjtit;cting
to such an extent, the property of so many indivi-
viduals, z.nd interfaing with the convenience and
accommodation of the whole country. If they had the
power of stopping the transmission of letters and news-

papers by post on Sunday, they had the same power
with regard to every thy in the week. They then had
every right to go to Parliament ald to tell the Govern-
ment that they had made a mistake in this matter, which
was on:z which affected all heir properties to a vast
amount, and not merely au official arrangement affecting
the pos.-office. Such an alteration ought to have been
wade, if at all, by an Act of Parlianaent. The matter
had no; been fairly argued in the House of Commons,
and he suggested that they should at once get an inde-
pendent Member cf that House to state their case, and
to take its sense on a motion for the rescinding of the
regulation. If neceisary be could have a call of the
whole House for the purpose. If such were done he had
no doubt that those who were favourable to the measure
would be beaten by a majority of four or fire to one.
The real object of the supporters of the regulation was
not to preveat the delivery of letters on Sunday, but to
deprive the people of the opportunity of reading the
weekly newspapers. No man had a right to Fay that
the employment on Sundays of three or four persons in
the Post-of11,:e for the convenience, of a large commu-
nity emeld cease, while he himielf emplo)-el an equal
number of persons at hie own house on that day for his
own convenience.—(llear, hear.) He concluded by
seconding the res&ution.

Mr. LEE. of llc'ts Weekly Mess:tiger, in opposing the
adoption of the resolution, SAid that as fq. as the mea-
sure itself wag coccerned, he thought that it would he
productive of immense good to the public at large. The
proprietors of the paper which he represented had many
years given up the practice of printing on Sunday. It

W 35 evident from what had beeti stated that thosie who
objected to the alteration were actuated by nothing more
than pecuniary motives, without any consideration of the
moral bearing of the question. lie thought that no
measure ever passed which had so fully the concurrence
of the people of this country, and even those who had
the greatest advantage of the transmission of letters,
such as merchants, bankers, and solicitors, came for-
ward in its support in hundreds and thousands.—(" Oh,
oh.") He then moved the previous question.
Mr. OATIL;I7, of the Christian Times, seconded the
amendment.

Afc-r a few words from Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Serle,
in refutation of the statement made by Mr. Lee and Mr.
aikey, the original resolution was carried almost
unanimously.
Mr. THOMAS, of the Courier de L'Europe, moved,
" That a committee be formed to take into consideration
the general interests of the press, especially as regarded
the efforts to interfere with the circulaiou of pipers by
Sunday Bills."
It was seconded by Mr. R. J. WOOD, of the Dispatch,
and carried.

The following gentlemen were then agreed to, to
form the committee, with power to add to the:r num-
ber:—Messrs. Ingram, Mortimer, Bunnay, Scrk, Wood,
Wrightion, Ledger, Scott, Thomas Palmer, and Stiff.
Mr. J. J. Slott was appointed honorary secretary.
The meeting then separated, the usual vote of thanks
to the Chairman having been agreed to.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
HAMPTON RACES.—TnunsDA.y.

The first day at Hampton, as regards sport, is usually
the best, and to racing men by far the most enjoyable;
but the " public" who help to find the " ways and
means," have invested the "Queen's Guineas" with the

character that attaches to the Derby at Epsom, and the
Emperor's Plate at Ascot, and have accordingly dubbed
Thursday the "grand day." It is due to them to state,
that they did it lull honour yesterday; such a throng,
we venture to say, was never before seen on Moulsey
Hurst. Trains, filled to an extent beyond their regu-
lated capacity, were started at intervals, which, but for
the arrangement,, and the care with which they were
carried out, would scarcely have been consistent with
sefety; how many were unable to obtain conveyance, if
any, we have no means of ascertaining; but c,-ttsinly
hundreds failed to reach the course until sfer the first
race. The read was also thronged, and great numbers
adopted the cooler and more agreeable, if not the
quickeit route, of water. Much confusion necessarily
arose, and we Lclrd of many canfntempx, both by land
and water, happily, at least as far as our knowledge ex-
tends, without any serious emu( quencer. On the whole
it was, Leyond question, the most successful grand day
known at Hampton, and it is gratifying to add that, be-
yond a disregard of the time of starting, and a want of
experience in the starter, the management was very
creditable. There was one drawback, however, to the
complete enjoyment of the day, which remains to be no-

ticei Whivle'tho first heat was in progress, a lad ran
on to the course at the moment the horses were passing,
and Queensbfrry's shoulder striking his head he was
thrown with great fa-cc.; ho was taken up insensible, and
when we left the ground was reported to be dead. Tbis,
we hope and believe, was the only accident of a serious
nature.

The racing was announced to commence at two o'clock,
but the order of running, so far as the time was con-
cerned, was not by any means strictly observed; in fact,
from the immense mob on the course, the police had
such great difficulty in clearing it, that punctuality was
out of the question—at Hampton, indeed, it would have
been out of character. The following is a sketch of the
_ _
