seeing a number of muskets handed into one of the
Duke's boats to fire a volley over the grave, rowed up to
her and demanded them to give them up, which they
refused to do, and Captain Paddy fired a blank cartridge
at them thinking to frighten them away; but they im-
mediately opened a fire of small arms on the vessel,
which they returned as well as they could. In a tew
mint; es Captain Paddy fell mor ally wounded. Ile then
told the mate to fight as long as he could, and not to let
them come on board, which he obeyed till two of his

struggle he surrende ed. The command, rof the Chilian
boat called Lynch, an Englishman, had his arm chat-
tered and several of his boat's crew wounded."

FATAL STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENI:i
Yesterday afternoon a melancholy accident happens
„
on the river Thames, within a few yards of the Sou%
wark iron-bridge, which resulted in the death of calf
man, and placed the lives of nearly two hundred otbek
persons in danger. It appears that about four o'elcLe
the Sunbeam, City and West-end steam-boat, took in Li„a er
usual complement of passengers at London-bridge, 1:::,11
proceeded up the river as far as Southwark-bridge, WR,I
an accident took plaza which threw every one on boss
into a most painful state of excitement. A man of to
name of Chitterfield, with his wife and child, went on 00
deck of the vessel„ and the moment the steamer viii„
passing under the before-mentioned bridge, the unforle
nate man fell overboard. The shrieks of his *lin,
and other females on board, on witnessing the 1:1",0
lancholy occurreuco, became most piercing, and ibli,"o
on the deck, having rushed on one side of the boat, to
after the poor man, csused the vessel to can‘
such an extent that it was momentarily expected to Sl' ko
over. This, of course, further increased the tears of wa
numerous passengers. Th© captain of the vessel ceoll,°b
loudly to loose on hoard to resume their seats, wbi`icido
having been done, no further mischief followed. 'lr
,5,
firemen on board the fluating engine put off the it
in the hopes of saving the unfortunate man, but v4'll-
they bad nearly reached him, two steamers came tio,
elt
and it is believed tliat the paddle-wheels of one etriliv
the poor fellow on the Karl for he almost instaeo,.;
disappear-d. The Thames Police having obtained IPO
drags, they searched the river for some time, but. tilY
six o'clock last evenirg, the body hat not been recovori:e,
From the tact of thef tide running down fast at the tlttd
there is no doubt titit that the deceased has been cat
by the current into the pool. The wife of the unior'o
nate man was taken to the Adelphl-pier, where sbe " ,
led ashore in strong hysviics.

The accounts from the Amsterdam and Rotterlor
produce markets state that business was inactive. the i
v
was no great alteration in coffee; sugar continued quiedr ttit
tea was rather more in demand. Indigo appeared drab
the
little inclination existed to enter into contracts, owing t°
approaching public sales. Notice had been given o',
lit
quantity of indigo, cochineal, and spices about to be br°4'o
forward by the Dutch East India Company. At Axitw6,jff
there was not much doing, but coffee and hides we're Ae
suppor ed.

The accounts of the state of trade in the prov An-lit
during the past week show a very favourable dennaricl,.,-
