The Golden Pledge, Gapbsim Bartlett, acesmander, wee outward boned for Havana, and heavily laden with a cargo of mak It appears that the collision was so severe that the Cognac cut the other vessel down nearly to the water's edge, and she began to sink immediately. The °dicers and crew made the most desperate efforts to save themselves, but we regret to say that three of the mu bsloog. tog to the Golden Pledge were unsuccessful. The captain, mate, and pilot, on the vessels oomiog into contact, clung to the Cognac sod were rescued. A boatman named Plunkett, who was towing a boat astern of the Golden Pledge succeeded in saving ten others who were struggling in the water until they could be picked up. The three hands missing (two engineers sod one fireman) seat down with the vessel. It is thought that the Cognac has not sustained any serious damage. The wreck of the Golden Pledge lies on the west aide of Crosby Channel, and yesterday portions of it were observed floating about at the month of the river, where the occurrence took place. As to the name of the accident, there are, as in all similar owe, • variety of statements pat forth, to which we forbear to give currency, seeing that the matter will form the subject I of inquiry.

THI CALVIW TERCENTENARY. —With regard to the preppie' for celebratiog the three-hundredth sealvers•ry of Calvin's death at Geneva, a ocedict is likely to arise between the Consistory and the Society of Pastors. The latter body are in favour of celebrating the anniversary. The former are opposed thereto, and would refuse, it is said, the nee of the national churches for this purpose. This opposition, says La Prase, is founded on the intolerance of Calvin, who permitted Servetus to be burned at • slow fire at Geneva for disputing with him on the doctrine of the Trinity.  The Nurrmbrirg Courier has the following :—" A melancholy evast has jest occurred which has created an immense sensation, particularly among the higher classes of society in this city. The Countess F., only 37 years of age, and Detain to one of the highest state fuoetionaries, attempted to commit suicide lately, at Baden, by discharging a pistol at her breast. In her pocket was found a letter from a gentleman to whom she wet engaged, in which he announced that circumstances would not allow him to marry her for the moment, and released her from the conwit she bad given to the union projected between them. It appears that the ►oung countess still lives, but that no hopse are entertained of her recovery." The Figaro Programme says :—" A duel with swords took piece three days ago at La Vara:me-SaintMaur between M. L—. a Mann man, aad M. D—, an advocate, when the latter was slightly wounded in the arm. The cause of the meeting was, it is said, a discussion on Alfred de Mitsset, which took Ogee at a dinner which every fortaight unites together literary men, advocates, musicians, medical men, photographers, &c. Another duel with similar weapons was fought on the following day between M. Redrigue,ao ageobdaehange, sod M. Tony editor of the Nain Jaunc, in which the latter received a scratch in the arm."
