FATAL BOAT ACCIDINT.

THREE BUTCHERS DROWNED ON SUNDAY.

• way melanoholy example of the folly of Sabbath-
breaking was given on Bombay afternoon last. Two
bankers' men took • small boat from Mr. Thud,
pilot, on the Weymouth aide, and promeded to Port-
land Roads. They appear to have boon joined by three
others, and the party made an attempt to go on board
the Great reetern, but were reflood. Oo this they
pat DC laughing, arid, it is old, singing • song and
generally behaving as if some of thorn at lout were
exalted with drink. z'hiiir must have got on one aide
of the boat, for shs mad, and they were thrown
Into the water. The oat partly fillod, and righted
hermit, and two clung on to her. The maitont was
witnessed from tin Groot Beelorn, and proparnions
wets Immediately made to rondo, the teen who had
not sank. A loot rowed from • Welsh eteamer wits
the first to retail theta, and pinked them up— oly two
out of the dye—and they were conveyed on oosrl
Priam steamer. and tholes to the big ship, and imme-
diately rubbed, put Into both., and ever, thing desir-
able for them was dons. Of the other thr..• no tr.oe
was seen; they had gone down in many fathom* of
water. The lost men are Charlen Boners, • but hair
working at Mr. Domiejs, another butcher mono!
Wilmot working for M. Boonton. ad Mark StiAlood,
also • butcher, working for Mr. Hatton, Mleingle men.
Tho rescued men wore named Torpor, formerly of
Waynos h, but now of the Achilles, and John Beal-
meat, • native of Sherbert... A 'somber of othor
butchers had arranged on the previous Friday to take
part in the rsoursion ; bat they were fortunately pre-
vented.

THE ATLItNTIO TELEGRAPH EXPEDITION.
The Greet Eaetern ha. for the second time oonimeneed
one of those great labours which astonish the world—
.m&,, to lay • new Atlentio cable from Valautia to
Heart's Content, in Newfouadlaad, and then to return
and pick up and repair the broken Atlantic (*Woof IEBS.
She mime to Portisad on Wednesday efternoon, and
anchored 'adds Untied and of the breakwater, to about
sight or nine fathoms. She dwarfed into insignilleaom
that sob'e ship the Lettuce, and made abet 'ugly
dock," the Devastation, look, If possible, still more
uely and more unsafe than before. The big ship did
not bring the best of weather with her, for after she
anehored it came on to blow harder and harder, till at
last it rose toe strong gale from t he north !Mt —an wager
and • nipping wind. Yet the Great &atom hied only one
of Trotinan's &mama down, aid rernain.d ae motionless

dashed pretty freely. The one boat which she sect
idiom immediately after &ushering was compelled to
stay with her crew IL Weymouth, for • heavy is. ran
off the North Heed, and there was no palming it.
I have been in thi Great Itastdru on most of her
voyages, but I melees I him sever seen her look to
greeter advantage than she does, both inside and oat,
at present. Captain Halpin hos introdueed a rigid
system of digraphs. and order, which she eartainly did
not have before, arid though cable Alps are a,loweill
to be dirty and axpeoted to be dime, and though they
must bare • lot of buoys, buoy fOpille, grappling., and
other uncouth lumber about, 7•1 with all this the great
ship le still as neat as a yacht. The engines are
speolmens of neatness; the boilers have becn repaired
or ren,wed as was necessary, the whole bottom has
been cleaned of weeds and barnacles, which were to
scab profotton as would have made • differenas of a
knot an boor, at least, in her speed; and altogether the
Groat Eastern is probably in better trim now than die
ever was in any telegraptilo expedition. She draws
about 30 feet of water, bat LI yet to teke in 8000 tons
of asel, which, MU bring her down to SA feet 6 inches.
At this depth she will ham IS Moine lees Immersion
than when she Matted with the sable for India, or
thee when she rounded the Cep* of Good Hope in
very had weather. Everything now, therefore seems
to favour her present trim and present prospect:6. Sae
will net leave for at least tm days to mune, when wa
may fairly expect settled and doe weather.

taking all together, easy be said to averse* about 34

tom per mile, the Intermediate portions 10 tons pm
mile, and the deep NM portion n per gale out of
water, and 35 owl. in.

RECEP TION OF TBl YEOMANRY.
The old Bpriag custom In Weymouth of "going out

weather, the spring waters who OPOO Our season would

crowds than ever, for Weymouth grows bigger and
