an alarm. At this moment the men from the boats, supposed to amount to forty or fif- ty, rushed on board the Caroline, broke the windows and endeavored to murder all they could. Capt. Appleby sprang out at the cab- in door when he received a severe cut on the head but he succeeded in getting on shore. Mir. Durfee, of Buffalo, in the act of jumping on the dock, was shot in the back of the head. The ball passed through his head and came out in the upper part of his forehead. Capt. Harding in jumping on the dock, fell over the body. As he fell the royalists shot at him, but missed. The cry of the royalists was, "no prisoners-no quarters" Only II to l2 succeeded in escaping from the boat As soon as the wretches succeeded in getting full possession, they closed up the cabin, lowed the boat out into the current of the river, set it on fire, gave three cheers for Vic- toria and sent it over the falls. Ifthere were as many on board the Caroline as is~suppo- sed, not less than IS or 20 perished.

 The people at the tavern were alarmed by the firing, went as near the shore as they durst, heard their cries and saw the men,

 But they had no arms, and of course could renderthe sufferers no assistance.

 The people on Navy Island knew nothing of the transaction, until they saw the boat on fire. They presumed it took fire accidental ly and had been cut loose from the dock... They did not learn the particulars until they came over from the Island next morning.

 Thesane gentleman that gave us the above information, also stated that it would not be so difficult U matter for the royalists to take the Island as has generally been supposed. He also states that the force on the Island amounts to about 1900. If the royalists do take it, every man will without doubt be butchered.-Rochester Advertiser.
