CoLIIsIoS OF SrEAMBoArs-Loss Of steam

city yesterday evening in the Norfolk sies,a-
boat. we learn the particulars Of fearful coils
ion which occurred Al sea on Saturday night
last, between the STEAMBOATS, Governor Dudley
aod North Carolina. and whieh resulted in the
loss OF The latter boat. together With the passen-
gers baggage and the L. S. Mails for the South.
Providentially. no lives were lost. These boats
both belong 4" the Wilmington and Roanoke
Rail Road Company. and At the time Of the
collision, which took plses at sea. about 60
miles south OF Wilmington. the North Carolina
was running toward Charleston. with the
Northern passengers and mails. while the Gov
ernor Dudley, was on her way toward vii.
mini gton.
The collision tosk place about o'clock. A.
NJ. Of Saturday night last. on a bsastif4l star
light night, With a perfectly calm sea. The
bosis were going at the rate Of IL OF Ii miles
an hour, and were seen BY each other Tor q mile
or two before they came together. How they
managed 10 run into each other. is not knswn (;
the captain OF each boat was in his berth al the
time-having stood their regular watch add
the mate OF each had charge Of his respective
boat. In the collision which took place. the
Governor Dudley's bow struck the North Caro-
lima between tho ladies' and gentleman's cabin.
The shoek was terrible, aud ito violence may
be infested from the fact that 10 ten minutes AZ
ter it took place the North Carolina had sunk TO
the waters edge.
The passengers OF both boats were all in their
berths at the time. and h,d barely time 10 ss
cape with their lives. The great coolness and
self possession manifested on the trying occa-
sion. by the captain Of each boat. we're Doubt

The small boats were Immediately manned.
and the passengers of the North Carolina all
conveyed IN safety 10 the Governor Dudley
In about ten minutes after every one was trans
terred TO the latter, the North Carolina, then
down TO the waters edge. heeled over.
Among the passengers in the North Care
lima were several members Of Congrsss--one
Of whom, Gen. Dawson, Of Georgia. lost fifteen
thousand dollars in his trunk. Other p,sssn.
gers also lost considerable sums OF money, and
some were losers Of their little all

laid by oil night. and the next morning picked
up two ar three floating trunks. which was all
that was saved from the North Carolina-every
thing else having gone to the bottom in her.
The passengers in the North Carolina were
all taken back in The Dudley to Wilmington,
and while on the way thiiher some of the pas
sen2ers OF the latter generously raised a sub
scription 10 aid those who had lost their all in
the susken boat.
