j_REUTER COPYRIGHT, j ALBANY, This day.
The summary of English news ,by the Suez Mail, dated London, June 29, give particulars of the collision between the ships Hurunui and Waitara in the English. Channel. The catastrophe is remarkable for its awful snddeness to both vessels. The Waitara sank, at the longest estimate, in -four minutes. The momentary interlocking of yards of the two vessels enabled sixteen from the Waitara to clamber aboard the Hurunui, otherwise all on the former vessel would have perished. No steerage passengers were saved. The Waitara was engulfed before any boat could be launched from her.
