A WGshingion LGeig <iHaoag the Passengers
ports OF passenge.s on the steamer Bristol which
ran into an English bark, and was damaged by
the collision SO that she had TO be run ashore,
are 10 the effect that no sail was put over the
bow to stop the leak, and only fortunate crcum-
stances prevented a most grave disaster. The
masts of the bark sunk by the Bristol are above
water, asd a light is affixed TO one OF them. At
the time OF the collision the steamer was run
ming sixteen mifes an hour in O dense fog. After
leaving Newport the pressure Of the water
opened her seams, Aer hold almost filed imme-
diately, and she was obliged to be beachcd be-
fore going nine miles to prevent her from sink
ing. When run ashore she had three feet Of
WAGER on the cabin floor, and when the pc ssen-
gers were taken off the water was six inches
deep on the main deck. Among the passen gers
were Rev. DIR. Hollister, Jas. III. Buchanan and
William Defrees, of Indiana; Mrs. Seibrett, OF
Washington; Otto Erlebach and wife, of New
Orleans, and large number of Western and
Southern people The steamer Bristol remained
on the beach at Portsmouth last evening. The
steamer Charlotte Is alongside with powerful
steam pump to free her of water when the leak
Is checked.
