Express of the 10th inst:-The steamship Benalder, when coming in on Sunday afternoon last, un fortunately ran down Pilot Breen, who went out to her to offer his services in the event of a pilot being required. It appears that when Pilot Breen sighted the steamer, he sculled out to ber, and when about 3 miles outside of the Lighthopac, 'be got in the track and waited for her, in the ex. pectation that she would slow down; but Instead of doing so, she came on at full speed, and in attempting to cross the steamer's bow to get on the lee side, the collision occurred, result; ing in the destruction of the boat, the loss of most of the gear, some slight injury to Pitos Breen's leg, and a "ducking" to all hands. Very fortunately, Capt. Smith's pilot boat was within easy distance at the time of the mishap, and they were not long in the water. The steamer turned round, and finding they had been picked up, she steamed on, without taking a pilot. There are, of course, differences of opinion as to which was in 'the'wrong, but we believe the matter has been amicably settled. Pilot Thomas, of Shanghai, was temporarily in command of the steamer,

owing to Capt. Harvie being sick.

Six-Kindly allow me a few lines in the comer of your valuable paper to call the atten- tion of those in power to the deplorable state of the sanitary arrangements in the village of Hungham. An open sewer runs through the mean those that are not choked up-from the houses and pig styes empty themselves, covering redressed injuries, but to the faults of the bar itself, which is rapidly bringing people to believe that the worst injury they can receive is in falling into the hands of an ENGINEERS & HOUSEHOLD HAMMERS. average attorney. He says the time was when the title attomey and counsellor-at-law" micant a long course of study and the passage of charged $5 or $10 for services occupying not a severe examination, and when the lawyer who more than half an hour could justly claim that PATENT BRASS PADLOCKS & he was charging not merely for the time given, but for long years of study and possible privation which he had endured to qualify himself to render thus readily the required service.

SIR,-Be pleased to allow me the use of the columns of your valuable paper, to call the atten tion of the police authorities, so that measures may immediately be taken to stop a nuisance,

which appears to be greatly on the increase. I who are regular loafers, and pests to this colony refer to the foreign sailors out of employment, These men not only stop residents on the streets, and solicit alms in an impertinent manner; but they have lately, taken to grossly insulting the ladies of this colony. I have been informed from a very reliable source, that not less than four of these men frequent the Italian Convent almost daily a the hours of 9 am, 12 o'clock noon, and 4 p.m. and make a habit of chasing the young girls frequenting the schools' and of indecently exposing themselves. In one instance, one of them had the audacity to catch hold of one of the girls in a most indecent fashion.

Seeing that what they have done at the door of the Italian Convent has passed un- checked; they have now turned their at leading to the Roman Catholic Cathedral.
