Mr Want recently proceeded to Eng.aad to oiicha3B a yacht, and out of SOOO others, picked ouf tio Mignonette as bei&g tha strongest and best saa-boat. She was of 40 ton* mcasurtire it, ya-vl-rlgged, ac<i had been con3tructei for rruisioer in the vicinity of ttw Dogger Bank and tha North Sea, her timbers being eqiil ia strength t> a boat of twics her dtrnensions. Oplain Dudley, an experienced yacht niiinjf-mastsr, waa appji^ited to bring her out to Sydney, with a crew of four men and a boy. Mr Want statr; that he cannot conceive it possible for the Mignonette to have been lost in the way described, an£ binta at much saaver clicumstancea in connect:.oa with ths matter. The* Mkconette. he affirms, cou'd live in any leather, and, bcleßS sha was dismasted, could be depended on to make the voyage equally as well as a I&rge ship wcu'd.

SKASTEOUS COLLISION IN THE THAMES. • X^"roln c European Mai], August 8.)

Shortly after midnight on August 2 the steamship "Dlone, of Stockton, Captain Hood master, on her way Aovn the river, bound for Khidlesborough, was in cjllis on near the O?en's Baoy with another steamer, ■■the Camden, of Londra, en her way up tha river from •F*lmouth, in tow of twt> fcjgr. The Diondeanktwo '-or threa mtnu'ea affer being etrcfk. Ten of her crew and Feven passengers wc?e tlrsw.'.ed. The captalr— , mho received some irjarics in the hesd froir- falling ' me. cka?e —with nine cf the craw acd seven passengers, were saved by various boats and landed at Graves■end. Mr Dives, a passsrger on board the Dione, -la glvin; a narrative of the sad occurrence, i •B&ya: For some time I have been School Board i officer at Stxfctoo. A week ago I went on a I iollday, with my wife and two ehildren-a boy three |

years ot age ao.i v b.-tijy throe uionths o!d.. Our dagtK natiou at that time Vftia Portsmouth; and having spent our time pleawutiy we too's train to London, and embarked on board the Dioao, at Free Trade Wharf, for Stocktou. All went well until the fatality which took place bereft mo of my wife and child, my Httlo boy bting saved. The piloc-boit left us cfl GraveoMid Pier, and we proceeded steadily. The place cf which we struck was about tyro miles and u-ba:J from tto t-iar, directly in mid-channc!. Tea minutes before the collialan I was on deok, my wife and chudreu being below. The night was clear, and, as far as I remember, our proper lights were burning. AC SO minutes a'ler 12 I waj ta:k.u<r to my wifa, the cliildien having gone to reas. I had scarcely undressed, and was closing fixe scuttles to prevent the wa'.er from coccini; iv. A sound something like a heavy scraping followed, which I for a I moment imagined wa» causod by our running agiound. I did noi feel particularly alarmed, hut nevertheless tan up ou deck. Even iv that short tiuia was level wiih the deck, and I at cnee shouted to my wife, " Eliza, ruaka haste, we're going down." 1 seizbd her by the arm, and also my ooy, my wife holding the baby close to her. The next sesond we were in the water. Beiog an excellent swimmer, I believed that I could sate them. Scarcely had I btruckcut, however, beforoa epar cut me over the eye. I let go my grasp for a mement, and they were swept from me. The vessel which struck us was piloted by tjfo tugs, and they rendered all tha assistance in their power. I was picked up by one of the tugs, and was overjoyed to see. my little son, who waa seized while floating,on the hatch of tho Dione, but how he got there is is impossible for me ta say; his e3Bape was marvelloU3 In less than two minutes the whele thing wasover. Th?re were simply oue or two shrieks from the womtn, and down she went. The next moment all was siiect as death.
