Mas Siiorr IN Pica-ou.—A mutiv-«I81 atlray took place last Tuesday or board the brig Oregon, Capt. Grew. lying in the stream ready for sea. ll IPPGS" that the mate and crew, who were all more or less under the inﬂuence of liquor, quarrelled with the captain. llﬂdel‘ l0m¢ pretext, the particulars of which We have not heard, when he retired to his cabin . for protection. They attempted to follow him, and even went so far as to smash in i the door and windows, when the captain in self-defence found it necessary to re- sort to ﬁre-arms, and seizing a pistol, shot the foremost one of the gang, the co teiitii entering the stomach. This h the effect of sobering the crew, who attempted no further violence. An in- vestigation was lind before the magis- trates yesterday. We shall endeavor to give particulars next week. The wound, vve understand. is not likely to prove fatal.

The great contest between the boat- mcn of St. John, N. B., and Halifax, came off in Halifax harbor on Thursday, 26th alt. The distance, six miles, was pulled in ill minutes 35 seconds, the lla- lifax boat. Quickstep, lieadiiig her aiita- gonist about eighteen to twenty yiirds. The stakes were for $l000 a side, be- sides which, it is said large sums of mo- ney have changed hands on the result. The Union Boat Club of St. John has hitherto been considered unrivalled on this continent, having carrieil oil‘ the palm from Boston and New York, and formerly from Halifax. The victory that has noiv been won over these cele- brated oarsmen is thus one of which Ha- lifax and Nova Scotia at lar-_re may well be proud, and we can therefore heartily join our city namesake in a vigorous “ llurrali ! for old Cliebiicto.”

A smart thunder storm accompanied with rain passed over this place on Tues- day inorning. The storm was felt more severely to the westward of this. At Pugtvash a barn belonging to the hon.Mr. Pinoo was struck by lightning, and bar- ned to the ground, together with a large qiiantity of hay which it contained.- l’ictou Chronicle.
