a heavy see from the wheel awl his right leg broken.
The vessel put in here, and he was taken to the
hospital, where he has received every attention, and is
doing as well as can be expected.—A man named
Attwooll. while assisting to load a tender belonging to

practices during the summer, and Li give one or two
grand c .ncerts, one from "Elijah," and the other from
the "Messiah," at the Burdon Hotel, when the
Assemidy-room there is rebuilt, about the end of
September. The music on Thursday oveniog censisted

very fairly rendered. The next number was "Yet
iloth the Lord see it not." The mimic here is of a
despairing chseactsr and remarkably bode ending
with a very grand chorale, which leas well given.
The chorus of "Blame I are the Mon" opened with
the sopren ir and trebles in a very pretty
melody, great attention having evidently been
paid to the expression. 'The double chorus "Baal, we
try t u Thee," was sung in a very effective manner, the
invocation of the priests to send them tire being
j Promptly answered by Elijah and his people. .1 he
effect was remarkably goo I, and the piece was
applauded. The chorus "Be not Afraid" presented
a different class of music. It opens in fair time, and
I then increases until the middle, when the alto, take it
up, and a return to the original time is made. "He
Watching over Israel" proved, as usual, a very plots-
log chorus This was led off by the trebled', the
separate parts afterwards being well taken up. "He
that shall landure to the sad" was next given, in
which the slow ramie was well sust tined, and this
chorus was thoroughly appreciated. "Behold Ged the
lerd," though a very difficelt chore.. was fairly
rendered. In the next, "But the Loid," there was a
little uocertaiuty, and more pew Lice is needed. "The
