THE HANGO MUhDERS.

TO TEE MOTTOS OP THE DAILY NNW,.
Sta,—The enclosed letter, from Capt. Fanshawe,
of her Majesty's ship Cossack, may probably be
thought worthy of insertion in your paper. It was
addressed to the mother of one of the officers killed
by the Hussies@ at Hango Head, and is very credits-
be to Capt. Fanshawe, as well as oonsolatary to the
friends of the young and promising officer, whose
character is so highly spoken of.
1 am, sir, your obedient servant,
R. BECK.
