THE COLLISION WITH THE LYoNNAIsl
Name OF the other Vessel.

The ship which came in collision with the
French steamer Lyonnaise. arrived at Glou-
cester, Mass, on the 4th instant. She proves
To be the bark Adriatic, from Belfast, Me-,
Tor Savannah. The steamers lights were
seen by those on board the Adriatic about
twenty minutes before the collision occurred
The captain who was on deck ut the time
supposed the steamer had stood away on her
course, and he was not aware of the injury
done her The bark sustained but little
da mage.
The captain went Immediately TO Belfast,
where he reported to the Belfast journal
that he had been run into by an unknown
steamer which passed on without stopping
to render assistance. ..
The collision happened on the night of
the I'd inst, oil the South Shoal. He hailed
the steamer and requested her TO lay by him,
but the light disappeared in twenty minutes.
There is some little discrepancy us to the
time of the accident, the second mate in his
account, fixing it on Tuesday night, but the
other accounts making it occur on Sunday
night; and the distance reached would con.
firm the latter period as the correct time.
