Saturday night, owing to a most distressing accident having befallen the chief officer. It appears that on Friday afternoon, (the vessel then being 50 miles beyond the Barrier), the men were employed in secur- \ ; ing the anchor, it then blowing very heavy, when ' suddenly the schooner gave a plunge which threw the anchor over tho bow, striking the chief officer on the sido of the head, and jamming him against tho side of tho vessel. The poor follow has sustained most serious injuries, both sides of his face and jaws being completely smashed ; he has never Bpoken since, and fears are entertained for his recovery. Captain Trayte deemed it advisable immediately to put back, and the schooner fetched her anchorage a;! above stated. The unfortunate sufferer was at onco conveved on shore and placed under tho charge of Dr. Hooper : up to late last night he was doing as well as could bo expected.

TESTIMONIAL. I testimonial, becomingly weighted in the shape of as exceedingly handsome silver salver, was presented bj the passengers of the good ship ' Helvellyu' to Captain Daliaon, at Mr. James' (Q.C.E.), onSaturdav !ast. These are acknowledgments wliich tell their own tale; and we can understand and appreciate t'aem quite as well ns their recipients unquestionably do. They are more " germane" to the matter than the stale and stereotyped wordiness so much tho fashion of the day—landsmen lauding seamen for the ability they displav in a profession of which it is ten to one the eulogist:! are profoundly ignorant. But every one to his taste. The salver prcsc-uti.il to Captain Dalisou is very handsome, and beard im inscription suitable to the occasion. POUT OF MOXttOXCI.
