Westph ALA report that it was intensely dark
at the time of the collision, with heavy
sea.
The collision occurred at o'clock this

the Westphalia, Immediately dispatched
boat to try 10 find her, and then
M ade ready all the other boats in the event
of the water gaining on the Westphalia. All
sixty-two pumps were kept going without
intermission. The mails and ninety passen-
gers were landed at Portsmouth this after
noon, and will be forwarded to their destina-
ton a. the earli-st possible moment. The
WeStphalia Is now moored alongside the
docky ard and kept clear of water by, the
pumps. The cargo is not greatly damsged
Great praise is accorded Capt. Ludwig, the
officers and crew for their GOODNESS and cour-
age from moment of the collision. There
was very heavy sea running, and it was
too dark to see ships length.
PERSISTENT BRADLAUGH.
Bradlsugh went to the Commons this af-
ternoon 10 try 10 take his seat. He had a
brief consultation with the speaker of the
House, and was informed by him that the
order OF expulsion WAS still in force. He

ward taking his seat.
FORTY PERSONS DROWNED.
The steamship Augelics, plying between
Gifia and Hull, has foundered in the North
sea. Forty persons were drowned.
IN THE COMMONS.
In the Commons, today, Trevelyan, chief
secretary for Ireland, stated that the 6rs
cost OF working the Irish Arrears act would
be paid out of the Irish Church surplus.
Gladstone, replying to Sir Stafford North
cote, declined, while judicial proceedings
were pending, TO give the date on which he
would be willing to discuss the question Of
the surrender of Arab Pasha to the Egyp-
tian government for trial ind punishment.
Arab would net, certainly, be put to death
unless the British government was first con-
suited.
Lord Stafford Churchill moved that the
House adjourn, seeing the statement of The
premier wac 90 unsatisfactory. 1t was most
necessary that an early date for the discus
sion of affairs in Egypt be fixed by the
House, to include the questions OF the eur
render of Arab.
Northcote said he desired TO advise that
the motion be Withdrawn. Discussion could
be had Tomorrow,
Without further discussion, the motion Of
Churchill was voted down.
Debate on the closure was then resumed,
the question being on the seceud resolution,
relating TO motions for adjournment before
public business was finished, and the order
of the day com menced.
Gladstone moved to prohibit motions 10
adjourn at question time, except leave be
given by the House.
Several members on both sides urged til at
the rule was too stringent.
Gladstone then agreed to accept some
modif alton TO the rule.
Debate then continued over a series OF
twenty-five amendments, all of minor INFER
esl, when il was adjourned.
