THURSDAY.  The enquiry relative to the death of Nathaniel Turner, mate of the Mistletoe, was resumed on Thursday morning, at the Guildhall, Portsmouth, before the borough coroner. Dennis Driscoll was recalled, and, in answer to the foreman, said the Alberta, when going at 15 knots, could be stopped in from 100 to 150 yards. At the request of a juror, Henry Brown was recalled, and said that when close hauled in such a light breeze the Mistletoe would lie about five or six points to the wind The course they were steering brought them a direct right angle with that of the Alberta. He idenied that just betora the colli4ion the Mistletoe was kept away. Just after he had put the helm of the Mistletoe hard a-port he looked up at the Alberta, and saw that her he'm was being stqr boarded. He believed that had the helm of the Mistletoe been ported the Alberta would have run right through her.  Staff-Commander Sullivan, of the Victoria and Alberta, was • next called. He said he was in the Vtetoria and Alberts, and following the Alberta, which was about 500 yards ahead. He saw the Mistletoe standing out of Stokes Bay, and he thought she was going to keep away like two other yachts had previous.y done. He saw the Mistletoe haul up in the wind, as if to get nearer the Alberta, and he thought she was too close. He saw the Alberta starboard her helm, as if to go under the Mistletoe's stern, and almost immediately the collision took place. Thomas Silk, yeoman of the signals on the Victoria and Albert was examined. On the conclusion of as evidence, the coroner adjourned the court.  Sir Moses Montefiore has arrived in England from Jerusalem, in good health.
