An accident which resulted fatally to two Chi- nese, and placed in jeopardy the life of one the Shanghai Pilots, occurred on Friday after noon. It appears that the Daniel Webster, pilot schooner, in charge of Mr. Muller, was on her way to the pilot grounds, and when apposite the Chinese Furt at Woosing the pilot observed a junk ashore, and with praiseworthy promptitude got the Daniel Webster's boat into the water for the purpose of taking a lire to the stranded junk, to endeavour to get her eff. nel by Mr. Mulier and two Chinese.

Mr. Lee, in addition to being a capital ringmas- ter, is one of the must accomplished horsemen ever seen in the East. It is announced that Mr. Sarony will join the Circus. This gentleman is a clever comedian, and should prove a powerful acquisition to Signor Chiarini's company. It was intended that the Circus should go on to Foo. chow, and a vessel had been specially chartered to convey the whole establishinent to that Some of the authorities there, however, have advised Chiarini not to go to Focchow, as the appearance there of the Circus night provoke a breach of the peace.

Captain lauvelt wished to be towed to Facchow. The steamer at first refused to the Jessie Burrill, and the boat was about to return to the steamer, when some of the Jessie Burrill's crew said they would not stop on leasing. This he declined to conscat to, and board and wanted the Caplain to consent to their eight of the men, against his orders, left the ves- sel and got into the boat either by swimming to to it or by the painter, by which the boat was made fast to the wreck. The boat took the mea to the steamer and afterwards returned to the wreck with an offer
to try and tow the Jessie Burrill to Foochow, to which port the steamer was bound. The terms were to be sended by arbitration. Captain Blauvel agreed to this, but afterwards, the steamer declined to tow when it became known that the Jessie Burrill's steering gear was out of oxler. The captain of the steamer wanted the people to leave and go on board the steamer, but they still declined to do so. Cap tain Blauvelt was in hopes that he could fix up the steering gear, and then some other passing steamer might be prevailed on to take him in tow. The steamer then left with the eight men on board, about 8 o'clock in the morning. At noon, the weather still looked bad, and the glass very low, so the balance of the crey and the captain did not care to stop by the ship any longer. Accordingly the captain, his wife, the stewardess and three men took a boat and made for the shore, thecaptain's idea bying to ascertain whether there was any communication with the mialand. They found the island inhabited by about 400 people, and that there was no com- munication with the mainland. As the weather was still bad, the captain did not consider it prudent to take his wife and the stewardess back in the ship, so he remained behind to take care of then and sent the boat back with word to the chief officer that if the weather did not moderate, and the glass did not rise, he had better abandon the ship and bring all hands on shore with him. This they did. Some hours after they had left the vessel, she took fire; but from what cause nobody appears to know. The are spread rapidly, and the vessel was soon enveloped in danes from stem to stern. The fact of the vessel being on fire wast brought to the Captain's attention by one of the men. The party on shore were short of provisions, as they only had a tin of crackers with them. The boat containing the mate and the rest of the crew, had some preserved provisions with THE Steamship them, but they were unable to land under the Ice of the island owing to the heavy surf, and consequently had to remain in the boat all night a short distance from the shore, the wrecked ship being about two miles distant. Next morning the mate and three men left in a boat for the purpose of reaching Foochow, the White Dogs being only thirty miles distant, so it is pre- sumed they have reached their destination cre this. Those left on the island consisted of the Several additional members put in an ap captain, his wife, the steward and stewardess, the pearance, and after the sun had driven the second mate, the carpenter and two men.
