He was knocked overboard by the main-boom, when in the act of jibing, and although his cries were heard for a minute or two, it was impossible to save him, there not being a small boat on board, and the wind blowing fresh astern. We understand that a subscription will be immediately commenced for the benefit of his widow and two children, the youngest of whom is only eight months old. - Canton Register.
