Just prior to her starting one of the boys was In the mizzen rigging shaking loose the spanker, when by some unfortunate accident the lad lost his hold and fell heavily on the deck, a distance of about twelve or fourteen feet. When picked up he was found to be insensible, and Captain Millar, fearing the boy was seriously injured, at once took him ashore for medical advice. Dr. Diver was consulted, who gwe it as his opinion that the injuries to the lad were of such a nature as would not prevent him from going to sea with the vessel, and consequently he was conveyed back there. When the boy arrived on board the River Leven he had thoroughly recovered consciousness, and .it was anticipated that in a day or two he would be all right.

The progress of Port Lyttelton is shown by the immense increase iu the shipping frequenting the port. During the past week the English vessels in port have represented a combined registered tonnage of over 10,000 tons, whilst the whole available space at the wharves has been occupied by intercolonial and coasting vessels. . Two vessels cleared the Customs for England, the combined value of whose cargoes was nearly .-6170.000, and the large list of expected arrivals shows that there will be no diminution in the trade for months to come, the present being the busiest time with produce-exporters. Including steamers, the tonnage of all vessels in port during the last week exceeded 10,000 tons.— Press.
