FATAL STEAM-BOAT COLLISION

AT LAMBETH.

A serious accident, by which two lives were lost
and several persons placed in great jeopardy, occurred.
on Saturday night last on the River Thames, off the
Hungerford Suspension-bridge, on the Surrey side.
On the night in quastion, 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. Needham,
• 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
perceived a steam-boat coming towards them at a
rapid pace from -Hungerford-market. The persona 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 wing to moor her for the night in the roads.
hard:by. Unfortunately, however, such was not the case,
and the nose of the steamer came violently into col-
lision
.vdth 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
witnesSeci 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, Hungerford-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. liewtrey aid
Mrs. .Needham's nephew were both drowned. It is
supposed that when the steamer struck the small 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
hours during the night, and also the greater portion
of yesterday, but up to six 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 denies that,
he heard any one call, until it was too late to prevent
the melancholy catastrophe.

PeEcoczons CautE /IN Fn.ANc2.—The Journal de
la Haute Loire relates a horrible act of cruelty committed
by a child four years old on an infant of ten months. The
little monster, being left alone with the infant, seized a
knife, and, while it was sleeping in its cradle, cut off its nose,
and inflicted several severe wounds upon its face; and, af•er
thus mutilating it, covered it with a mask of wood-sshes
mixed with water, in order to stanch the flow of blood and
stifle the cries of the helpless little sufferer. Meanwhile the
mothers of the two children, who were at work in front of
their dwellings, attracted by the screams, ran to the spot,
and beheld with horror the spetacle before them. The guilty
urchin had made his escape, but was soon afterwards found,
his hands dyed in the blood of his victim.

EXHIBITION OF 1851.—The Apothecaries' Com-
pany of London and the Cutlers' Company of Sheffield have

Another English fishing-smack, the Richard
Cobden, has been seized by the French cruisers for fishing

BRITISH CLAIMS ON TUSCANY.
AUSTRIAN NOTE.
The Austrian Imperial Gazette publishes the fol-
lowing note, addressed by the President of the
Council, Prince Schwartzsnbrg, to Boron Koller,
the Austrian Minister in London. It is dated 14,h
of April last :
" We havo been informed of the dead for in-
demnity which England has n.drirre4; -if to To ,•
cant', relating to alleged damages stiE,:cs. by
tish subjects in ciinsequenco of the repression or
the revolt which brnite out in that town -in May,
1849. This demand deserves, on more than one ac-
count, th,. serious attention of the Imperial Govern-
ment. The damages are, in fact, attributed to the troops
of his Majesty the Emperor, who acted as allies of the
legitimate Sovereign of Tuscany. Besides, indepen-
deatly of this circumstance, it is natural that Austria,
united as she is with Tuscany by so many intimate
bonds, and by ancient and modern treaties, has
a particular interest in all that concerns that country.
Lastly, the pretension of Great Britain is calcu-
lated to raise a vestion of principles, the solution of
which is of the highest importance for the independence
and security of ad states which maintain friendly rela-
tions with Germany. The claims originate from the
time is which the town of Leghorn was in full revolt
against the legitimate Government. The Austrian
troops, which had the mission to restore the au-
thority of the laws, were received with cannon-shots,
and the fire against them continued from the win-
dows of the houses after they had carried the town. Our
soldiers were obliged to penetrate by force into the
houses and warehouses, in order to see whether there
were arms, ammunition, or armed men concealed in
them. If on this occasion, and notwithstanding the
efforts of our officers to prevent disturbances, some have
taken place, and if property belonging to British sub-
jects has been injured by the soldiers of his Majesty
the Emperor while under the excitement of the combat,
and of a blind and obstinate resistance, is that to be won-
dered at, and ought not one on the contrary to classify
such misfortunes among the deplorable but inevitable
consequences of war? It is upon this view, resting
moreover upon generally recognised principles of
right, that the Grand Ducal Government has declared
that it was not bound to grant an indemnity to those
of his subjects who had suffered losses during the attack
upon Leghorn, when that town, which had obstinately
rejected every offer of reconciliation, was coerced into
making its submission. In consequence, the Tuscan
Government was right in refusing to treat the English
more favourably than its own subjects. It did not con-
sider it proper to create for English subjects a more
advantageous position, in paying them sums under the
name of indemnities which had not been accorded to the
Tuscan subjects ; and that, so much the more,
that if foreigners bad placed their property or
persons in safety, they could easily have escaped
the general misfortune which the inhabitants of a
besieged city have to expect. The reasons which the
Tuscan Government opposed to the demand of Lord
Palmerston appear to us to rest on principles so elevated
and so incontestable, that we beheld with pain that they
had not sufficient weight to determine his Lord-
ship to desist from such a pretension. Far from
that, the British Ambassador received orders to in-
sist with energy, and even to give it to be understood
that if the demands were not admitted by the Tuscan
siGovernment,ty of

for, we cannot dissemble from ourselves that Look-
ing at several analagous facts, stilt more recent and
generally known, the language of the English Cabinet
merits the attention of ail the states which are accus-
tomed to accord an hospitable reception to the
English. However disposed they might be to enlarge
the limits of hospitality, the civilized nations of Europe
would never extend them to such a point as that
of granting to foreigners more favourable tie at-
ment than is authorised by the laws of the
country to natives. To bring into question
this principle of public right which we hew: re-
solved to maintain intact, and to claim for Englishmen
established in foreign countries an exceptional and pri-
vileged principle, would be to force other states, al-
though reluctantly, to provide against pretensions so
contrary to their independence. We should certainly
be the first to deplore such a necessity, which it must
be avowed would be in striking contrast to the
tendency of our epoch, which is to multiply and
animate commercial relations between nations, and to
bring nearer the points of separation. Be that as it
may, the first duty of every independent state is to
secure its own preservation by all the means in its
power. Whenever a Sovereign, in the exercise of this
right, is compelled to have recourse to arms to put down
a revolt, and in the civil war which ensues, the property
of foreigners residing in the country is injured, it is, in
my opinion, a public misfortune of which foreigners
must bear their share as well as natives, and have no
more claim to an exceptional indemnity than if it were
founded on any other calamity. Such, reduced to
the most simple expression, is the point in litiga-
tion as regards the Tuscan Government. We are too
deeply penetrated with the gravity of the consequences
attached to the question as to whether the principle shall
be maintained or not, not to be convinced of the neces-
sity of submitting it to the British Government in the
most frank manner. It is for that Government to ap-
preciate it in its wisdom and equity, and this apprecia-
tion will, we hope, bring about a speedy and satisfactory
solution. You are charged, sir, to read this dispatch to
the British Minister of Foreign Affairs."

THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette.)
THE QUEEN'S RUFFIAN ASSAILANT.—The daily
papers state, as a proof of Lieutenant Pate's sanity that
his pecuniary affairs are in order, and that he has always
paid his rent, &c., regularly. We are in a position to
disturb the inference arising from this statement. Mr.
Pate was a member of the Army and Navy Club, but
was expelled last year for non-payment of his subscrip-
tion. He was much disliked in his corps. On the em-
barkation of the Regiment for India he retired from the
service by the sale of his commission. His age is about
thirty-two.
We are glad in being able to announce that Lieu-
tenant-General Sir Andrew Barnard, G.C.8., has quite
recovered from his attack of severe indisposition.
Captain Stoney, of the 28th Regiment, has been
appointed Staff Officer of Pensioners for the Ballymena
District.

THE COMMAND-IN-CHIEF IN THE MEDITERRANEAN.
—We hear froom good authority that Vice-Admiral Sir
William Parker, Bart., G.C.8., will very shortly retire
from the Command-in-Chief in the Mediterranean. It
is not certain who will be the Gallant Officer's successor,
but with the name of Rear-Admiral Dundas we have
heard that of Vice Admiral Sir Thea_las Cochrane,
K.C.8., as one likely to be selected for this important
and responsible command.
THE GREER GOVERNMENT AND DON PACIFIC Is
CLAIMS.—We understand that pending a reference to the
Portuguese Government as to the validity of Don Paci-
fico's claims on that country, 20,000 dol!ars had beeu de-
posited on board H.M.S. Ganges, at Salamis Bay.
COMMISSARIAT.— We are: extremely glad to find that
Deputy Commissary-General William base Grieg, ho
has been some length of time past suffering severely from
cataract, was recently and successfully operated on by Dr.
Geo. James Guthrie, and that the sight of the eye is com-
pletely restored. Mr. Greig has been upwards 0136 rears in
the army; and in cou%iderution of his long and faithful
services, received his promotion to Deputy Commissary-
General at the commencement of the present year. We
have heard so much of the active and business-like habits,
as well as of the very gentlemanly tone in which this
officer conducts the duties of the department, that we
trust he may not be allowed long to remain upon halt-
pay, but that the services of so valuable a person wiil
shortly be made available to the public. Mr. Greig un-
derwent an operation for cataract whilst recently serv-
ing in Canada, but the result of which was by no means
successful.

PORTSM )lITH, JUNE 28.—T0-day being the anniver-
sary of the coronation of her Majesty was celebrated at
this port. Flags were hoisted on all the Government
offices and many private establishments—at the King's
Rooms, the pier-heads, Sac, At noon royal salutes were
tired by her Majesty's ships in port and at the platfirm
battery. The artisans in the dockyard had a holiday,
as well as the public—all shops being closed, and busi-
ness entirely suspended in honour of the day. On the
arrival of the daily journals announcing the dastardly
attack upon the Queen, it is difficult to say whether
pleasure or indignation most pervad,d the public mind
—indignation at the cowardly attack and outrage, or
pleasure at the escape of her Majesty from serious
injury.

THE SQUADRON OF EVOLUTIONS.
PLYMOUTH, JUNE 27.—A practical seaman on board
one of the ships thus writes on the respective qualities of
the squadron. Left Lisbon on the 29th of May, but did
not get a fair trial until the 3d of June, when they
started at 10 30 A.M. with a fine, but not a fresh breeze.
While it continued the Arethusa in one hour weathered
the Phaeton one mile, Thetis one and a half, and Leander
two, the Indefatigable was an immense way behind; the
rear was brought up by the Arrogant. At 1 P.M.
bresza fell light and so continued until 2, Pheaton
headed Aretbusa considerably, but did not weather
her ; both coutined to head and weather the
others till 3, when the breeze grew stronger,
and . Arethusa began to head and weather Phae-
ton till 4 P.M., when trial ceased. Phaeton and
Arethusa were two miles from Thetis, two and a half
Leander, four and a half Indefatigable, six Arrogant.
Had the (royal) breeze continued, Arethusa would have
headed Phaeton considerably. The Indefatigable is far
from a weatherly ship in a single reef down to a royal
breeze; she is a noble looking vessel. The
will best all except the Phaeton, and that only when the
wind is very li:fht. The Indefatigable and the Arethusa
are the most etlicient men-A.-war in the squadron; the
Phaeton is more like a yacht than a man-of-war.
On the Gth of June the rate of sailing was tried before
the wine. After seven hours' trial Arethusa beat Phae-
ton 300 yards; Leander, 2,800; Indefatigable, 3,000;
Thetis, 3,500. The Arethusa was going eight knots; and
on the Bth of June, on a wind, with a stiff royal breeze,
Phaeton fire t. Arethusa second; others so far astern
could not be placed.
The Commodore appears to havo a partiality far the
Phaeton, which awls best in smooth water and light
winds, when the trials are said to be principally made.
The Arethusa Was not allowed to carry royals ur flying
jib when she and the Indefatigable could have done se,.
Phaeton won't carry canvas and Arethusa must not.
Phs, ton contrary to orders, trims, has her guns in, un-
bends both bower and sheet cables, grid on the Bth of
June, just as Arethusa was coming up to her, hand over
fist, up goes a signal to cease trial two hours beture the
usual time. It is not known when the cruise will be
over; there is no hope of anything decisive taking place

until all are allowed to carry what canvas they like and
rvaat canvas they can; fur if the Phaeton won't carry it,
no reason why others should not.
