WRECK IN MOUNT'S BAY.—FALMOUTH, SATUR-
DAY MORNlNG.—Yesterday afternoon a soiled parchment
document was washed ashore from the wreck of the Dutch
Hut Indianian, at Mullion, which, being immediately de-
livered to Mr. Broad, the Netherlands consul, he de.
ciphered it to be a masonic diploma of Maas Lammerts,
thereby proving, without further doubt, the unfortunate
ship to be the JonkheerM. Van der Wal Van Puttershoek,
of Dordrecht, himself captain. Up to Friday no more
bodies were found, and the vessel was literally in shreds ;
few of her materials had washed up, but a considerable
quantity of coffee mixed with sand had been saved.
BOAT ACCIDENT. —A correspondent writes that
as be and his companion were walking in the Onuitchester
meadows on Monday last, they saw two gentlemen sailing
in tub-boats down the river. Our informant remarked to
his friend that he should not like to go on the river on
such a day as that. Scarcely were the words out of his
mouth, when one of the gentlemen was discovered up to
his neck in water holding on to the ride of one of the boats
and making desperate efforts to get to shore. The other
gentleman got to the bank and endeavoured to relieve his
companion, who cried out if he did not have speedy assis-
tance he should sink. He plunged into the river, and
our correspondent kept hold of one of his hands, while he
with the other drew the boat to which the drowning man
was clinging to land, and saved his companion's life.—

very glad to hear it, and only hope that the officers on the

benefit of the act"— United Service Gazetle.
