A San Francisco report, dalod the 18th July, states that 30 miles south of Point Avena. lisht, according to the reckoning of Captain Thomas Weisse, in a fopr on July,l7, two ponderous ships of steel clashed; together with a grind, and shiver that, ripped open the metallic shell ,of one and left a (raping hole in the side of the other. The Belgian King w«k the steamer that .did the ramming, her victim being the big Norwegian tramp Tullus. When'the vessels came together it-wa* with a jar that made the crews of both thinly that in another minute they would be Rrappinp-'jloßtinfr wreckage, to save their lives, but the ofPrc.rs of both vessel? soon learned that the Belgian King had escaped without serious, damage, while the Tullus was left riding the- waves with thp plates in her port quarter abaft too .'forecastle wrenched nparfc, leaving a p-;ipiu:r. breadl, into which: pourad the sen. Luckily, the construction of the steamer. wai> such tint when one of her compartments filled and she remained buoyant there wns: no danger unless the- bulkhead gave \vay or a freeh breach was made. ,
