Tho collision will form tho subject of an action between tbelwo Companies. Tho only recent ac count of the catastrophe I have soon that throws any light on what occurred IjMig the fearsome five minutes alter tho collision is the following : - ty. Norman, the apprentice vho reoeived «>me severe injuries, gives tha~ following flooount: "-Being tho coxswain of the gig linking »» tJie "avits, 1 jumped into it.

I struck out for it. iHoving'pn a sjiirtl. a singlet, a cardigan jacket,' shoes, stockings, and pants, I did i Jot proceed very quickly. When I reached lit I found that it was a hen-coop, and that itwq^an were clinging to it. They kept ipnjljngifcQverin the water, and were yell 'Uolfthe time. One was Beece, and tlie 'otuet'"WM a sailor whoso name I don't 'how, I paid, ' For God's sake, keep it 'steady' ' They took no notioo of what I said, arid I was pulled over too. So, th ink ing that I should only be drowned if I re. iniuned on the hen-coop, and seeing a cap ■sized boat ft 'little distance off, 1 told the jctiiertwpl *vas going to make for tho boat.

Mr. C. Bradlaugh, M. P., and the Socialists.

i/,rv n% morning, before a large audience J2 Hall; 6f Londqu, Mr Brad ,,^l concluding a course; of lectures on saidu [* m !ltß dangers and its Fallacies," SS WUgh. as a rule he was not in, ctjS'H^ttoiKling churches on Sundays ' ei f,S". officr'tirnes'(a laugh), he must incut.

Mr Bradlaugh said he had no hesitation in denouncing as most wicked and cowardly the men who spoke such dangerous and das tardly language as this to semi-starving and desperate men, arid' no amount of suffering by the unemployed wouldjustify the resort to such base and diabolical^ means a3 the Use of weapons and chemicals for the de^" striictiou of human life and property. JSeither were they iust|fie,d hi dlgturbihg qongregations in the churches "or otlier places of worship on Sunday mornings or ab Any other time—they should have some, consideration for the feelings of otjwr people, and if they thought proper to call attention to their grievances by such a curious method, they ought to conduct themselves properly and decorously whilst they were in theao places of worship, which probably many of them, were unaccustomed to attend. He denied the contention of the Socialists that them • was a combination of men of capital to oppress the labourers and workers, although he would bo the last to maintain that posspSfiprs of capital had nc\-or oi^pressed the labourer. The present unhappy relation between labour and capital had grown up through a long course of ages in tho struggle for existence, and-was. not tho doings of any man.gr set of men, capitalists or otherwise. It was a system of development, and nob of fabrica tion.

Mr Gladestone on Home Rule Prospects.

In tho " Nineteenth Century," Mr Glad stone cpntributes an article ontJtlod, " Notes and Queries on the Irish Dopiand." Aftor some obeervationa justifying tl\o selection of the pi-esetxt m,o.ment to form a temperate or refloetivo consideration of the Subject of self government for Ireland, ho admits that in the past Ireland has obtained some concessions from England through foar, but he advises her not to rely upon the fears of England for the .aocomplißhmont of Home Rnlo. Experience pf a long life hao convinced him that tho strength of Bng* •land is such that sho might almost War against Heaven. He belivcs that his countrymen will arrive, and that not slowly, at tho conclusion that ono c^oep and terrible stajn upon their history is to be found in their administration of Iroland. He, would appoal tq thei innato nobleness of English character and to, reason ratl^ar than to fear, ' Tho failure of the officials "we hays sont to Ireland during the past century is an admitted fact. They had to ■vyork against a groat underlying evil, which dened their administrative ability, tq the contention that the esta.b> lishment of a statutory Parliament in Dublin would hand ayer Ireland to Mr Parnigll's party he replies that if. Nationalism is to prevail in the land it would bo unwise to exasperate it to a spirit of vengeance a^d resistance. The basis of thei' J[ationali3t party would berem,Q.ved UPQO the establish ment of a statuory Parliament, He affirms that the intention of the English Parliament towards Ireland has frequently been equi Vocal, and that our Legislature ig ilkadapted fpr dealing \r\bh purely Irish concerns.

A BLACKBURN GHOST SCARE.

Gr§4uMlqr,

Consid^iiable commotion ia prevalent at Blackhwrn in lianqftshire, in cpnaequencQ of the qircujatipn o,f » BonsatiQnftl'ghP^t stpry. It was reported that a man who;had seen :the.sgectre lifidI''fallen' a victim to fright. It appears that tho ghqst takes the'guise of a young antl handsome woman both in face and figurej and is.j attired in the kind c f dress at* present in vogue. On Sunday night she is said to have been seen in tho churchyard of Trinity Church, surrounded by a strange lurid light, Ono of the most daring of the young men, watch ing for the apparition, threw a ginger beer bottle, the, result being that it gave rapid chase.,.... Her first appearance was fhiidS at the npuse of. a young married man named M'Cann, wHo lives in a small court off Moor-street. A young man who lodges at the house, on returning home, found her seated by the fireside apparently in deep thought. H,'e went upstairs to bed, and asked the occupier of the house nex;t morning who she.wa^, and: was laughed at for asking the, question. Qn a aubse quent nighfc M'Cann himself saw the ap parition, seated again by the fireside, and ho spoke to it, arid, receiving no answer, began to swear. The ghost then rose to/its feet, and M'Cann fell to the floor in a awoon, and so seriously hurt his shoulder that he baa been attended since by Dr. Hasler. Mr M'Cann avers to the story just given, even after he recovered his senses, and it receives confirmation from some of his friends, who, waiting up at night, alleged that the young woman tapped at tho door, and then sudclcinly disappeared, on one or two occasions. It js aupposetcl, among the credulous of the neighbourhood, that the miscreant is tho ghost pf a young woman who was burnt to cleath about twelve years ago in the district. People of more robust intelligence believe, however, that someone is personating the, ghost.
