BOMBAY, Fs n. 22.—A boat from Surat, hound to BOtrny, in which Captain Johnson, of the artillery, and Lieutenant Robinson, of the 20th regiment had embarked, was boat teat side of Surat-bar, on the night of the 20th ultimo, and ever"person on board perished, with the exception of one native (a Banclaree), who was picked up by another boat on the following morning. The account which this man gives is, that he left Surat in a boat with two European officers (who are known to be the gentlemen above-mentioned); that in the even. ing of the same day, the Tindal in charge of the boat, thinking he should not be able to emu the bar in the night time anchor. ed the boat in the river, with a determination to remain there until daylight; before midnight, however, he was called up b, the gentlemen, who urged him to get the boat under way and go to sea, stating that the wind was quite fair, the weather was clear, and that they were only losing time, by remaining there ; the Tindal remonstrated ; but as they persisted, he got au anchor up, and proceeded on his voyage. In crossing the bar, the boat (which was laden with tiles) struck twice, and began to leak so much that it requiteit ell the people on board to hale out the water; peared, however, that in this state they got out to sea, when in a short time the boat suddenly sunk. On recovering himself, the Banduree found that he and three others were clinging to a piece of the mast, which must have been detached fro .n the boat when it went down. His companions dropped off during the night, one after the other ; but he, from being ac. cuetomed to use great exettion with hit arms in climbing trees, was able to hang on till day -light,svhen he was picked up by a bolt and brought to Bombay. We understand that the body, of one of the gentlerrea has since been washed on shore, but which of ' the two is not known. This narrative affords a sad example of the impudence of interfering with the natives in the .marer. ment of their boats.
