The Oneida.
The Navy Department is not yet In eceiptof
any official dispatches from Admiral Rowan
in relation to the loss Of the Oneida in Yo-
kahoma boy. A dispatch, however, was re-
ceived there this morning from Hong Kong
giving the Oriental Steamship Company's
account of the accident. The dispatch
says the Bombay made the light of the
Oneida on starboard bow. The Oneida APP
preached with sail and steam at the rate Of
fifteen knots On hour. The Bombay was
running with steam alone ct the rate of
| seven knots. The Oneida attempted to
Cross the bow Of the Bombay by putting,
helm aport, and the Bombay collided with
her, but the shock was go slight that the
captain of the Bombay thought no damage
had been done.
Vice-Admiral Porter says that If the
statement be true, the captain of the Bonn
bay has committed gross and culpable
outrage; that it was his duty to put the
Bombay helm aport, and not run directly
towards the Oneida, and then the vessels
would have gone in opposite directions and
the collision would have been avoided. He
supposes from this statement that the Eng
lish captain would not stop for fear Of dam
ages, and he does not think British naval
officer would pass on, knowing tue serious
| injury he had inflicted. The Admiral is of
the opinion that the English captain had no
idea of the damage, and therefore did not
report the collision when he arrived at 70.
kohama; but it is unaccountable that the
Bombay people did not hear the Oneida's
distress guns.
The official statement from Rear Admiral
Rowan will probably give the true account
of the calamity. WALLACE.
