COLLISION IN THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.…
COLLISION IN THE ENGLISH CHANNEL. GREAT LOSS OF LIFE. On Tuesday night last a fatal collision occurred in the English Channel, about seven miles off Portland, between tho Avalanche, Capt. NVillianis, of London, bound to New Zealand, and ihc Forest, of Windsor, Nova Scotia, Captaiin Lockhart, also from London, bound for Sandyhook for orders. The former was an iron vessel, and had on board about 60 passengers, besides a crew of about 40. The Forest s crew numbered about 23; and both were full-rigged vessels. About 9-30, the weather being thick, and the wind and sea very heavy, tho Forest came in collision with the Avalanche, striking her amidships; the force of the collision being such that within a minute or two after- wards the passenger ship gave three lurches and suddenly settled, carrying with her the whole of her passengers and crow, with the exception of three, these saving themselves by scrambling on board the Forest. The latter ship was* so severely damaged by the effects of the collision that she almost immediately began to fill, but kept afloat for an hour and a half. As she began to get waterlogged three boats were lowered, and into these the whole of the men on board clambered. These were exposed for the whole of the nisH to .1 Z-1 most tempcstuoilS weather. Shorty after daylight a boat was espied by some fishermen from the beach. A little time before they had discovered four or five bodies washed on shore, and also a boat. The deceased formed part of the Forest's crow, who left in that particular boat. Notwith- standing the fearful sea now running, the Port- land fishermen, with their usual courage, launched two of their craft, with seven men in each, and set off towards a boat some distance out, from which a distress ilag was living. After battling with the waves for a considei able time, the brave fishermen succeeded in reaching the boat, in which they discovered twelve men. These were safely brought to shore, and by the 11-40 train they were sent to the Seamen' sllome at We, mouth, havibg first received every attention at the hands of the Portlanders.

JKtscdlantous. THE surplus arising out of the Welsh National Eis- teddfod at Carnarvon, last month, is roughly set down at £ 1,000. WHILST a groom was exercising a hunter at Oulton, near Leeds, on Tuesday, the animal jumped over a rail- way bridge. Both horse and rider were killed.! THE wife and danghtor of a Bristoltradeemau named Naish wore on Monday seriously injurod by an explo- sion of gas in a cupboard, and the front of the house was nearly wrecked. EMIGRATION TO SOUTH AUSTRALIA.—The Rod- ney," 1447 tons, Captain A. Louttit, chartered by Sir Arthur Blyth, K.C.M.G-, the Agent General for South Australia, left Plymouth on Friday morning, for Port Adelaide, with 448 emigrants under the charge of Dr J. H. Cartwright, surgeon, among whom were 149 single female domestic servants, under the care of =1 Miss Margaret Davidson, matron. INDEPENDENT OHDrm. OF GOOD TEMPLAHS.—Satur- day last being the ninth anmversay of the introduction of this Order into England, a special service in connec- tion therowith was hold in the Birmingham Town Hall on Sunday, and was attended by a large congregation, including'many of the leading members of the Order of the town and district. An eloquent sermon was preached be the liev. Enoch Franks, Grand Worthy Chaplain of Wblvorhampton. GREAT excitement was created in Burnley on Mon- day night owing to a disturbance created by tho cotton operatives of Mr M. Watson, of Danes Homo Mill, who are on strike against a proposed reduction of 10 per cent. in their wages. The workpcople struck on Wed- nesday last; but work was resumed at the mill on Mon- day, a number of operatives having been brought from Stockport to fill tho vacant places. When the mill was stopped at noon the Stockport operatives were followed by a mob calling them 11 knobcticks," and in tho even- ing this was repeated. In the meantime some 10 or 12 police-constables had boon scut to watch the proceed- ings. and the crowd became so unruly that the officers charged them with their staves. The constables were roughly handled, one of them being soverely injured on the head by a flying brickbat. A BICYCLIST BAVED BY A DUCK.—A few days ago a young man, when riding on his bicycle down Painswick Hill, near Gloucester, lost control over uis machine, and was pitched head foremost into the ditch with great violence. At the time a duck happened to bo in the ditch, and by a piece of singular good fortune for the man, and bad fortune for the bird, the rider fell with his head exactly on tbo duck, smashing it M Hat as a pancake." Had it not boen for the interposition of the body of the unfortunate bird, it is probable that concus 6ion of the man's brain might have been caused but as it was, the fall did not result in auy serious consequence —except to the duck, whose quacking" is now over, but who did what no quack" has ever done before, for he spared a man's piece of mind by the sacrifice of his own life. TUB Agent General for South Australia, (Sir Arthur Bylth, 1LC.M.G.,) has received the following telegram from the Government at Adelaide, dated 1st Sept- ember The havest prospects continue good, and seasonable rainc'havo fallon. The Governments of the Australasian Colonics have juintly engaged a steamer to run between Buujoowungio end Port Darwin, if the telegraph cable eiiould at any time break. In view of the increased and increasing trado aad population, the Government of South Australia are urging the other Australasian G;>verr;inc<riT,a to st-cuvo a f'TUngbMail by the Peninsular and Oriental Steiici Navi^a'ion Com- pany's routo, to be delivered within thiriy-faix (36) Joys, thus in caso of accident to the cable, European news would be only ten (10) days old, by changing the port of call to Froeraautle instead of King George's Sound, as the telegraph between Adelaide and Perth is now nearly completed for public use, messages have already been sent through by the Governments. As the 4 Orient' Lino of Steamers go through the Seuz Canal direct to Australia without transhipping passangers or cargo, the course of post could be reduced to eighty days by a slight change in the Gallo time table." FATAL DUEL AT DELAWARE.—A duel marked by great .'forociousness, and which ended in the death of both combatants, haa taken place at Wilmington, Dela ware. It arose out of a paragraph iu a paper burlesquing a younger brother. A youth named Young, himself only 16 years of age, Laving demanded satisfaction' of the editor, Mr Brown-who, instead of giving it, knocked him down—a challengo to mortal combat wae immedi ,o to m ately given by Young, and acoeptod by Brown. The combatants were placed on each side of a railway track. When they approuchod the rails, the order was given to fire. At tho iirst discharge the bill from Young's re- volver entered Brown's breast, and that from tbe latter's revolver the lower part of Young's abdomen. Brown continued firing at his antagonist, but Young, finding bis pistol did not revolve, cioaod with Brown, when both fell, and began pummelling each other with their pistols. The seconds only thwi interfered, separating the men. They were laid out on the railway platform, both in a dying condition.

SHOCKING CASE OF POISONING…
SHOCKING CASE OF POISONING AT NEWPORT. A man named Granville died OD Friday lust from the effects of poison. It appeared that de- ceased had been in the employ of Mr J. A. Kelly of the Trcdegar Arms Inn (formerly of the Hanbury Arms, GarndilTaitli), It seemed that Mr Iveily kept a bottle of caibolio acid in tbo cellar for disinfecting purposes. Notley, the collarman, left Granville in the cellar by him- self, and in Notley's absence Granville took up the bottle of poison and drank. No doubt bo thought lie was about to drink apirits. When Notley returned Granville said to bhn, "That stuff of yours is very hot." Notley then dis- oovored that the unfortunate man, in his eager- ness for drink, had swallowed poison. Two medical gentlemen were called, and an antidote was administered, but in a few hours death eu- o u L-d. On Saturday, Mr Brewer opened an inquest at tho TrQdogar Arms Ian, when he ordered a post- mortem examination to be made. On Taos day, Mr Drawer held the adjourned ioquest. Robert Notloy, oellarmaD to Mr KeUy.aW In Friday last the deceased went into the cellar to assist him in placing beer on the horse." Wit- ness left the cellar for a minute, and on return- ing he saw the deceased putting down a bottle quickly. Deceased then left the cellar, and witness followed him. Heard deceased say, "I have been drinking something very hut." Asked him where he took it from, and he said, Oat of that biaok bottle." Told him it was poison, and advised him to wash his mouth out. Deceased did so, and returned to the cellar. Asked him if ho had swallowed any of the stuff, and ho replied, I don't think I did." In a very short time deceased fell, and witness caught him by the arm. He became unconscious. A doctor came. Death ensued in about two hours. Witness had used the contents of the bottle only a day or two before this happened. The bottle was labelled Poison." The contents were used as a disinfectant for the drains. Mr Brizzle was the first doctor, and he gave the man oil. Mr Pratt came afterwards, and gave him milk and eggs, and used the stomach pump. Could smell the carbolio acid that was brought up by the pump. Mr Robt. Cooke, surgeon, made a post-mortem examination of deceased's body on Sunday, and from tho appearance of the larynx and tbe oosophagus there was no doubt that an acid poison had passed down. The stomach was in- flamed. Doceasod died from the effects of the poison. There was a strong smell of carbolia acid in the contents of the stomach. The iutro- duotion of the stomach pump did not rupture any of the parts in passing down. A very small quantity of carbolio acid would produce death. A most ridiculous rumour bad got about that Mr Kelly was using tho acid to adulterate liquor. Ile explained that when the tides rise the drain is filled, aud a disinfectant is needed. The jury found a verdict of Accidental death by taking carbolic acid." el-
THE METROPOLITAN POLICE.
THE METROPOLITAN POLICE. The total strength of the force in 1876, in- cluding the dockyard divisions, was 10,268, But a very considerable deduction must be made from this total before we can estimate with how small a body of men the protection of the general public of London is, upon the whole, socured. The force available for what may be called ordinary police duty was last year only 21 superintendents, 224 inspectors, 907 sergeants, and 7,859 constables. That peaoe and order and personal safoty should be secured by so small a force to a population not vory far shoit of four millions is croditablo both to the popu- lation and to tho police. But, giving ali credit to the orderly inclinations of the inhabitants of London, there are elements of mischief at work sufficiently numerous and potent to make the Metropolis a perilous place of abode if it were not for the admirable way in which the police forco is handled, and in which the constables themselves discharge duties which often require great tact and judgment, presence of mind, and good tempor. Every year the Metropolis is growing. New houses are built, new streets re- quire protection but llio addition to the police forco is little more than nominal. Colonel Hen- derson reports that last year 22G now streets and 3 now squares were opened and hauded over to the police, extending over something more than 36 miles. Nearly 13.000 new houses were built, aud upwards ot 4,000 were in courao of erec- tion. This gives ouo an idea of the rapidity with which Loudon is extending in every di- rection. Since 1850, 1,247 miles of uew streets havo been opened, and, according to Colonel Henderson, thore seems no tendency ta- de- crease in the annual rate of progression." The increase of police last year amounted to only 3 sergeants and 38 constables. In the force there are 7,917 Englishmen, 820 Irishmen, 145 Scotch- men, 13 Welshmen, and 23 foreigners. Of the foreigners 12 are Germau, one is a Russian, one an American, one a Swede, and one a Norwe- gian. Mr Druscovicii is an Englishman by birth, cud his mother an Englishwoman. Over 1,000 have served as soldiers, of whom 2 are superintendents, 23 are inspectors, 69 are eer- geants, and 913 private constables. The mar- ried 'men comprise 23 superintendents, 254 inspectors, 888 sergeants, 3,103 constables and the single men include 2 superintendents, 20 inspectors, 155 sergeants, and 2,802 constables. The rank and pay of the police are 4 district su- perintendents, 1 at £800 and 3 at £ 700 per annum 25 superintendents at salaries ranging from Y,310 to f,475, with an allowance of .£11 for clothing 277 inspectors, at salaries ranging from A:88 to £276, with an allowance of £ 10 for clothing 1,053 sergeants, at salaries ran^ ging from £88 to £ 162 and 8,913 constables, at salaries from £ 62 to L88. Married men ob- tain an allowance of 4d. per week in lieu of coals, of which single men are entitled to 40 lb. each per week in winter, and 20 lb. in summer. The foroe is divided into twenty divisions. The full forco in 1876 was 10,268; in 1867 it num- bered 7,792 men. Two men have been in the force for more than forty years 31 for more than thirty years; 718 for more than twenty years 3,439 for more than ten years and 6,483 for more than Gvo years. Tho special detective corps at Scotland-yard consists of 1 superin- tendent, at E430 per annum 3 chief inspectors, at £ 5 6s. 2d. per week 3 inspectors, at £4 7s. per week and 16 detectives, divided into two classes, the first class receiving £3 2s. 8d. each woekly, and the second class zC.2 7s. 4d. per wook.
