FATAL BOAT ACCIDENTS.

A melancholy accident occurred yesterday morn-
ing at Putney. Mr. Edmund Balfour, a gentleman
well known in all the rowing clubs as a most
liberal supporter of aquatic sports, went out about
seven o'clock for a morning row, and not returning
at his usual time some uneasiness was felt, which
caused inquiries to be made. The result was that
his boat was discovered drifting without him, and
tbo:ae enrl twehhi
it soon became certain that he had met with a
watery grave. search was instantly commenced,
and a large number of boats were employed ill

An accident of a fatal character occurred yester-
day
morning on the river,in Grantchester Meadows,
Cambridge, to Mr. Isaac Pask, a member and foun-
dation scholar of Emmanuel College. Mr. Pask,
who only entered last October, accompanied by two
brother collegians, engaged three of the dangerous
cockle-shell canoes now in such common use, and
proceeded to row up the river. Neither of the oc-
cupants were expert in the management of this
kind of craft—in fact, neither had ever entered one
before. The consequence was that !ir turning a
Corner Mr. Pask upset his boat in 12 feet of water,
and was drowned before assistance could be afforded.
Neither of his companions could swim, and no
effectual help was near. The remains of the de.
ceased were convened to the Red Lion at Grant-
chester to await an inquest. He was about 21 years
of age, and the most sanguine hcpes were enter-
tained of his academical career. His friends reside
in London, whither the Rev. Mr. Phear, fellow and
tutor of the society, proceeded by the midday train.
to break the sad intelligence.

Lady Radsteek was safely delivered c..f a huglter
on Wednesday ; her ladyship art] infant are proueswincz
