A message to Messrs. Munn & Co., of Harbor Grace, from Capt. CULLEN, of the schooner Victory, at Barbados , conveyed the news that Mate Michael TOBIN had died on the way down. Deceased was a well-known seaman, and the last winter was the mate with Capt. J. KENNEDY in the Pioneer at the time she was driven to sea and lost.

The Boston Herald of January 29^th reports the death by accident of Mr. Michael COMERFORD, 62 years old, a native of this place. He had been found the previous day upon the tracks of the Boston Albany railroad, in the freight shed near Albany Street , with his head cut off. His identity was established from papers found in his pocket. Deceased was a retired mail carrier of this place, and went to Boston in November last on a visit to his niece, intending to return home again the coming spring.
