New York, December 20.?Oaptain Robertson, of the ship Loch Earn, in his official report of the collision be? tween bia vessel and tho Villudu Hivre, says: November 22, 2 A. M., iu latitudo 46 64 North, longitude 35 G West, winds 8. S. W., true ship bruced op on port taok, heading by standard oompass N. N. or W. balf N. true, a steamer's mast? head was seen from one to two poiuts on port bow. Our side lights were out and burning brightly. ShorJy after we saw steamer's three lights* she was com? ing straight for as; almost immediately she. showed only her port aud mast bead lights and was steering upparently to pass ander our stern. After a short time we rang our bell and ported the helm, as we thought she was coming too near, the steamer still showing uoly her port light. When close to our bow the steamer's helm was sturboarded aud she ran across our bow. A oollision was rendered inevitable. Tbe order was given to back our dfteryards, but before the braces could be let go the two ves? sels came iu collision. Wheu the first ' boat from tue Ville du Havre, oontaining an officer and four men, came along side, I asked if the steamer was injured. He said she was injured, but did nut say Sue > Anted help. As no signals of dis? tress were made by the steamer I thought at the time the boat was seut to render us assistance, but while talking to tbe officer I saw the steamer appa? rently Settling down, and lowered a port life-boat at once in charge of the second officer and four men, who made towards the sinking ship. Our cutter and star? board life-boats were then cleared away iu a few minutes and despatched to tho soene of the catastrophe, their only guide being the cries of the drowuiug people, the steamer having disappeared. We kept our boats out till daylight, until every one floating among the wreck was picked up, Capt. Robertson thou gives an accouut of bis struggles to at? tempt to save his vessel, tie had to se? cure his foremast and fo rot op must, the stays being gone. His bow was knocked in right down to the forefoot, so that the security of the vessel depended en tirely upon the safety of the hulk head, without tho protection of which the Loch Earn must have sunk as rapidly us the steamer. Endeavors were made to shave up a bulkhead in front of the main bold. The jury bow, spars uud sails were constructed in a compartment to protect the bulkhead. The weather, however, proved very nufavorable, gales prevailed and tho vessel wan obliged to I be left to roll iu tbp trough of the sea, as direotly ehe was brought head to sea, the stream of water rushiug in threat? ened to sweep away tho bulkhead uud all its supports. Tho vessel was trimmed afterwerds, but leaks broko out of her bulkhead and matters became so bad by tho morning of tbo 28th tilt., that the crow refused to stand by the vessel any longer, when ail on board wero transfer? red to tho British Queen. Wheu the British Q men left the Loch Earn the latter had eight feet of water iu her after hold. She had not been able to mako any headway, but in sixteen days she bad drifted moro than 110 milts to tho North-east, j Philadelphia, December 21.?Imto thin evening a liro occurred at the wiu ter headquarters of Forepaugh'a Mena? gerie, nt Germtintown, destroying the fro mo stable, together with seven valua? ble horses and all the wagons belonging to the show.

The Supreme Court, to day, rendered tho following decision: (0-1) Wibon, assignee iu bankruptcy ot Va?dcrhoff Urns, vs. the City Sink of St. Paul? corlinciito of division from the Circuit Court for Miuuesotu. In thisoaso Van derhoO' Bros , owiuy the Lank, suffered their entire slock of goods to be seized ou execution, on n judgment by default obtained against them by tbe bank; and thus, us alleged, fraudulently preferred tbe bank over their other creditors, again :t the provisions uf the Bankrupt Act; uud the assignee sought to have the proceeds of tho sale on ewccitttou applied ou the claims of all tint credi? tors. Ou these fuctii, the following q iesliouH arose, on which thj Couit di? vided, uud they weio certified to ibis Court for answer: First?Whether or uot, ou iuteut uf the fourth part of the liriu to sullor their pro? perty lo bu taken on execution, with iuteut to givo a preference to the bunk, or with intent to defeat or delay tho operation of tho Bankrupt Act, cau be inferred from tho lacts as Btute-J. Second?Whether, under the fact?, the hank, iu their proceedings, hid reasonable cause to believe that a1 fraud ou the Bankrupt Aot wus intended by Ihe firm; and third?Whether, under j the circumstances, the bauk obtained by ' the levy uud execution a valid lien on tho goods, as against the assignee in bankruptcy. Iu their opinion, tho Court h >y, that this is something more than paesive non-resistance of nu insol? vent debtor to tho regular judicial pro? ceedings, in which a judgment und exe? cution are had. When the debt is due, and ho is without just dofennc to tbe action, it is necessary to show a prefer? ment of a oreditor, or a purpose to d- - feat or delay tbe operation of the Bank? rupt Act. That the faot that the debtor, under suob circumstances, does not file a petition in bankruptcy, is not snffl nire>6 defeat tho operation of tue Aot. Tuat though the* jadgmeot creditor iu auch a oaae may know, the insolvent cod* dition of the debtor, hin levy und ?eis? ure are not' void/ under the circum? stances, cor any violation of the bank rupt law. That u lien thus obUiued by him w II Bet be < i'placedby subsequent proceedings in bankruptcy aguiuMt a debtor, though within four months of the filing of the bill. These proposi? tions require the questions certified to tcbe answered? Hie first two in lh? ne? gative and tho third iq the affirmative. This decision over-rules or largely quali? fies what was sued by Mr. Justice Clif? ford, in delivering the opinion of the Court io Bufcbanun vs Smith, at the last term. Senator Hidchock has addressed the following letter to SeLator Edmunds, Chairman of tbe Committee on the Judi? ciary: United States Senate Cuameer, Washington, December 2), 1873. Dear Sir: Regretting the failure ol the Senate to act, prior to be holiday recess, upon the hill repealing the bank rupt law?so far, at least, as to "wipe out" the present oppressive features of involuntary bankruptcy, aud feuring that suoh failure will aggravate financial suffering, aud add others lo the already long list of victims, I desire to obtain your opinion ot the feasibility ?>f so amending thu bankrupt law us to make thu repeal of the oppressive feu*ure.i re? troactive; aud, also, your opinion us to tbe probability of the early passage of such amendments. Your reputation as a lawyer, and position as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, will give weight to your opinion. If ulllrm atively given upou each of thu proposi? tions abovo named, it will, I think, go far to relieve public auxiety, and pre vent useless and oppressive litigation. Faithfully yours, P. W. HIDCHOCK To IIon Quo. F. Edmunds, Cuuirmau Seuate Committee ou tbe ?Judiciary Senator *E luiuods replied us follows: I have received your note of the 20ib instant, and suy iu r.'ply. I do uot pro? fess to speak for any person but myself, of course; but, so speaking, I have no hesitation iu saying thut uny provision that may bo niude respecting the forcing of debtors tutu involuutury bankruptcy, aud the proceedings thereupon, will, h*? fur its my voice goes, be made retro? active, iu such a way that no person will gutu anything by my oppressive step to? wards debtors, pending the considera? tion of the question. As all t>uoh mat? ters relate to remedies whioh Congress may take away altogether, if it plea-es, there will be no impropriety iu making uny wise provision which regulato the proceedings to just euds apply to pend? ing cases, uud I feel great confidence that sueb will be tho opinion of tho Se? nate.
