when the Hermann sailed from Southampton the Anne

hsd her repairs and to sail for New York
O the eth The Sarah Park left Havre on the 1st Of
October with assorted cargo and 500 steeake pas
sssgers but the morning of the 3D. In dense fog,
she struck Bembridge Ledge, st. Adams Head,
the English coast and sustained injury her bottom
By the great exertions Of the captain and the ship
vas hauled of from her dangerous position, leaking
badly and brought up 70 Sssthampton, where her
damages have been repaired ID the craving dock of that
pert Immediately arrival at Southampton the cargo
discharged and the passengers landed where every
Ming that humanity and kind feeling could dictate was
done for their health and comfort by the captain AT
considerable cost large building was engaged and ht'ed
mp with sleeping berhs and appliance for cooking
aAd provisioning these emgrants who we're thus lodged
- and cared for at the expense Of the owners Of the
ship the duration of their stay shore being nearly
Ave weeks and the expense thus incurred from 81 500
10 % o0o nice point is raised In reference this
transaction 1t appears that the Sarah Park was char
tered by Messrs Wood Palette Co. of Havre con-
vey passengers, at lump sum- the ship to lind nothing
but space. Messrs Wood, Pathetic Co. contracted
with the emigrants subsequently Tor their simple
veyance to New York. leaving The passengers provide
ther provisions is often done in such 1t
further appears that the cost of provisioning the emil
grants in necessary by the dis
aster TO the shiphas been repudiated by the Havre
firm upon the ground that they bound find
any provisions whatever for the passengers The ship,
the other hand looks TO tho emigration agents the
sigrans themselves being unable to pay) for all costs
ncured upon the ground that the of the charter
party only embrace the carrage conveyance of
The passengers to their destination The issue of this
4U.ston which win probably be decided in court Of
law will be highly interesting to American spmasters,
and will precedent future occasions OF SINH
