Collision avd Loss of Life. — A fearful accident occurred on the river Tyne on the 7th. A steamer called the Forester, having nearly a hundred pas-

sengera on boat <1, mul on her way to Newcastle, \v,w run into by the Tynemoutb, ami .vhnost immediately sank. All who were upon the deck at the time were wiveil, but a miinbor were in the cabin, and some of these being unable to ascend the staircaso before the steamer went down, were drownej3. Two bodies have already been recovered, and it is feared that many more yet remain in the cabin of the sunkon vessel. — European Times. A Confederate Steamru Run Down in the Cltde — The ' loim,' w hich had been sold to the Confederate government about three weeks ago, waa run down and sunk on the 2nd, off Gouiock. On her return trial trip, the ' Chantioleer ' met the ' lona,' which had been getting her compasses adjusted that day steaming towards her anchorage ground in Gourock Bay, when a collision ensued, the ' Chanticleer ' running right into the starboard quaiter of the other vessel, euttinc her nearly in two aft the mainmast. The ' Chanticleer ' backed out, and the • lona ' sank sit minutes aftei wards. The ciew, numboiing 21, escaped into the boats of both vessels, and were taken on board the 'Chanticleer' without delay. The 'lona' was built in 1855 for Messis. David Hutcheson and Co. , and since that time has been the favourite passenger steamboat on the Clyde. She was 220 horse power, and hei tonnage was 325 tons. She had on board a full caigo of coals and general stores, which together with the ve-isol were insured. The agent for the ' lona ' states that the ship had not been purohased by the Confederate government, although hei destination was America, and that she did not carry any cargo. She had only on boaid from 130 to 135 tons of coals, to serve for her consumption dining her voyage to Madeira. A boy of thuteen years of age made a nairow escape. Being of an adventitious disposition, the boy had resolved to cast in his lot with the Southerners, or at all events to take the best means in his power to seethe wuild : and accoi duifjly, in tho hurry of the ' loua's ' depai ture, he slipped ou boaid, and smuggled himself out of sight in the after-hold, with the intention of revealing himself when the ves'-el got fniily out to Rea. Ho lay with patience for a long time, until the tenible ciash caused by the collision with the 'Chanticleer' letealed to him the fact that something had occmred quite out of the ordinmy collide of sea life Bapidly ascending from his hiding place, he scoured along the deck, and was lucky enough to get hold of the bowsprit chains of tho ' Chanticleer,' by means of which he was ultimately saved. — Ewojpean Tun*s,
