THE COMMANDER OF THE BIRRENHEAD.--TI3B in-
telligence of the loss of the Birkenhead frigate has thrown a
gloom over the inhabitants of Inverkeithing, her brave com-
mander and his family having resided in that place for many
years. Mr. Salmond was many years in the navy, long ac-
tively employed, and is the third brother who has died in the
service of his 'country—one, a midshipman, fell in action with
an American frigate, during the last war ; and the second died
some yearn ago, when in command of a frigate, after a few
hours' illness, from malaria. Mr. Salmond has left a Wife and
a young family.--Zdinburgh Witness.
