FROM THE BOSTON CtKTINEL.

Few,, if amy instances, will be recollected, in which more skill and judgment havc^been evinced, or where a more deliberate and, magnanimous exposure of life to jeopardy, in saving the lives of others* has been exhibited. On the 26th of May last, Mr. William Tewbbury, of Deer Islatri, -and his sbn, Abijah R. Tewsbury, a. lad 4! 7 years old, were at work on ^he eastern part of Poiht Shirty jticar Winthrop's Held. About 4 p. M. a boy came running from ^he Point and informed him chat a pleasure boat hacTtipset in a direction between Deer Island and Long Island. With out waiting further informatics, he immediately took his so?i into fris canoe, set a small fore-sail, and ruA thro* Pulling's Poir.t Gut, towaid*' Broad Sound. The wind was fco. high., that with the smallest sail the canoe nearly buried herself under water. Having releived her, he ^tood in a direction for Long Island nearly half a mile, without discovering any indication of. the objects of his search. He then dis ? covered his wife and children near the be&ch of Deer Island, running towards Sound Point. This indue- ' ed him so keep on the same course* and in a short time he discovered the heads of several men in the wai ter, nnd as they rose jtod fell on "the lief chat there were more than twen ty buffctingthe waves, and contend ing against death.
