SAD BOAT ACCIDENT AT Moirreosa.—About two
o'clock on Tuesday morning a small fishing-boat arrived
in the river, having three men and • boy ou board. Two
of the men, named Bremner, having friends in Ferry-
den, landed, leaving one man and a boy, his son, iu the
boat, which was to lie at wiener till the others returned.
At daybreak the two men who had landed could see no
trace of the boat, and shortly thereafter, on the tide re-
ceding, the body of the boy was discovered at the Chain-
bridge, and the boat was found water-logged up the sands
at Maryton. The river was dragged for the body of the
man, but up to a late hour no trace of it was got, and it is
conjectured that it has been carried out to sea. The un-
fortunate man, who was named William Spankie, was
about forty years of age ; be leaves a widow and three
children. His son, Andrew Spankie, was about ten years
of age. Nothing is known as to how the accident
occurred, but it is supposed that both father and son had
fallen asleep, and that the beat had dragged its anchor
unperceived, and the mast coming in contact with the
bridge had upset the boat.—Dundee Advertiaer.

flict that the actual excess of imports over
exports last year was reduced to 988,177,5681 b., as com-
