THE MARQUIS OF HARTINGTON ON THE IRISH AND EGYPTIAN QUESTIONS. THE ALLEGED LEGITIMIST PLOT IN FRANCE. DEATH OF PRINCE FREDERICK CHARLES OF GERMANY. RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN AMERICA. —TWENTY PASSENGERS KILLED. LONDON. January 20. News has been received here from Hamburg that the Hamburg and American Company's steamship Cimbria has been lost in the North Sea, having sunk after a collision with another vessel. Thirty-nine of the passengers and crew have reached Cuxhaven, at the mouth of the Elbe, in the ship's boats. The Marquis of Harrington, M.P. for North-cast Lancasliire, and Secretary of State for War, in a speech at Manchester last night, stated that the present Government would never grant a law giving autonomy to Ireland, although it was proposed to grant the Irish people a certain measure of self-government. At an address delivered at Blackburn Lord Hartingtou announced that the evacuation of Egypt by the British forces would take place as soon as stable government had been established, and added that the action of the British Government had received the approval of most of the European powers. January 21. The steamship Cimbria was bound from Hamburg to New York. There were 490 souls on board when she sailed. Up to the present only 50 have been saved, and the worst is feared as to the fate of the remainder.
