DOVFII, Om 11.

On Saturday, just as the Lord Melville, London steam-
vessel, was about to enter Calais harbour. Geo. Breedinore,
her engineer, met with a serious arcident ; he had got
upon etc guard-iron, for the purpose of examining some
pact of the engine, and in descending, by misplacing his
foot, it became entangled under one of the beams, and
his leg was thereby sho:kingly crushed, but, by an amaz-
ing effort he extricated it.
The weather for the last few days has been exceedingly
boisterous, particularly yesterday. wien it rained and blew
hard nearly all day ; and to-day it was very squally at the
time the vessels were leaving the harbour for Franee, and
it was feared that the Medusa, steam :versed, would be
obliged to bear up for the Downs. The passage between
the two countrits still, however, continues brisk. Amongst
the fashionable arrivals since Thursday, are---
