THE EAST RIVER COLLISION.

An Interesting Observation-Disclosures vOyageurs.
The collision between the steamboats, Providence
and Sylvan Grove, on Tuesday evening last, has
ton among the citizens OF the metropolis and others
who frequently obliged to entrust themselves to
dangers similar to those which the eighteen hundred
countered. The fact that among so large number
OF excited individuals there were none injured in
any degree is something really wonderful. Under
the peculiar circumstances of the case it is remark
able that none OF those on the boats at the time
what of relief to know that had any Of the excited
methods OF assistance at hand in number. The
steady approach OF the vessels toward each other
was noticed by numbers on the docks both OF this
city and Brooklyn and by many on the sailing and
steam vessels plying on the river at the time,
and, incredible 1t may appear, the fact il
well established that small boats Were
started from the wharves and vessels in
the vicinity that ferryboats crossing the river
changed their courses that those moored the slips
put out al once, and that by the time The collision
occurred the water in the immediate neighborhood
OF the coliding vessels was almost literally covered
with craft Of all sizes and styles, each ready to lend
any needed assistance. The scene Ia said TO have
been remarkably fine, and the presence OF so much
help tended no doubt TO relieve the anxiety those
who were placed in the greatest danger Besides
the lew who jumped from the Sylvan Grove on to
the Providence a number OF the passengers got on
