London, Oct. 17. —While crossing the channel the passenger steamer Marie Henriette ran into and cut in half a Danish bark. Six of the crew were drowned. There was a panic on board the steamer when she ran into the bark, and passengers tried to launch the boats, and ran here and there about the docks looking for life preservers and expecting every moment that the steamer would sink with all on board. The officers of the Marie Henriette eventually managed to quiet the passengers. The bark sank before any assistance could, ba rendered her.
