DOVER SAILORS' HOME.—Oa Thursday morning
an old man, Charles Robertima, mate of the "Moonlit Fly-
ing Fish, of London, was picked up in Dover bay by a boat's
crew belonging to Lord Willoughby's yacht Hell Moon.
Robertson was quite insensible when brought to the Sailors
Home. Dr. Sutton was in immediate attendance, when
under his direction the superintendent of the house applied
the means recommended, and the poor fellow was in about
an hoar restored to animation. It appears from his own
account that he fell over the stem of the school:ler, which
passed on her way to Marseilles, an nobody on board knew
that he wu gone. This is the second instance in the course
of a week that life has been saved by the prompt attention
paid to the case at this institution.
