A collision, attended with serious loss of life, took place in the English Channel at midnight on Tuesday between the ship British Commerce, 1,417 tons, "bound from London to Melbourne, and the ship County of Aberdeen, 1,865 tons, from Calcutta to London. The British Commerce was cut down below the. water line, and sank almost immediately, only Captain Jones and the boatswain being saved. These two managed to clamber on board the County of Aberdeen, the number of lives lost was 25. The County of Aberdeen was severely damaged, and was towed into Portsmouth to undergo repairs. The accident is attributed to the weather, which was very thick at the time. Both vessels had general cargoes. The trial of Michael Pagan, the fourth of the prisoners who have been committed for trial for the muriU-r of Lord Cavendish and Mr Burke, commenced to-day. Another of the 'visoners, Joseph Hanlon, has turned informer.
