A letter from Toronto, dated April 3, says :—I
send you a copy of a curious document which was
forwarded some months ago by a general officer of
the Confederate army to his wife, now resident in
Toronto. It was issued from the Southern War-
office, and is in fact the Confederate official army
list of general officers. You will perceive that the
Southern army numbers in its ranks no less than
one hundred and forty of these officers, or rather
did number so many when this document was issued,
since which time one general at least (Zollicoffer)*
has been killed, and another (Buckner) I. taken
prisoner.

THE LA7B% srn JOHN WEST, G.C.8.,
ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET.

Expired on the 18th inst., at his residence in
Eaton-square, Sir John West, G.C.8., Admiral of the
Fleet. This distinguished officer entered the navy
in 1788, as midshipman in the Pomona, Captain
Damett, and after seeing much service off the coast
of Africa, West Indies, North America, the Medi-
terranean, and the Channel, was promoted 1793 to
Lieutenant in the Saturn, 74, and in the following
year appointed to the Royal George; 100 guns, bear-
ing the flag of Admiral Lord Bridport, in which ship
he took part in Lord Howe's victoryof June 1, 1794,
and in the following year in Lord Bridport's action
with the French fleets off l'Orient, in which three
sail of the line were captured ; conveyed to Eng-
land the despatches of the Commander-in-Chief, and
was promoted.
Proceeding to the West Indies in 1795, in com-
mand of the Diligence sloop of war, Captain West
served successively under the flags of Admirals Sir
Henry Harvey and Sir Hyde Parker, and returned
to England in 1798, in charge of a convoy of 150
sail, his health much impaired by climate. In 1807
he, while in command of his Majesty's ship Excel-
lent, 74, co.operated with the Spaniards in compel-
ling the surrender of a French squadron of six sail
of the line in blockade of Cadiz. Proceeded subse-
quently with the Commander-in-Chief, Lord Col-
lingwood, to the blockade of Toulon.

In the following year, being detached with his
Majesty's ship Excellent and two bomb vessels un-
der his orders, Capt. West proceeded to the Bay of
Rosas, coast of Catalonia, and occupied with a strong
party of seamen and marines the Castle of Trinity,
which he held with the assistance of the Spaniards
against repeated attacks of the French under Gen.
Dahesme, who assaulted it in force, but were re-
pulsed finally with considerable loss (Gazette, Jan.,
1809); during these operations Capt. West had a
horse shot under him. He was relieved in this ser-
vice by Lord Cochrane, who continued the defence
with great spirit, but was compelled eventually to
blow up the works and re-embark. In the spring
of 1809 he was detached with three sail of the line
under Commodore Hargood to the Adriatic, and left
in command of a small squadron to blockade the
enemy's force lying under the batteries of Trieste.
While on this service attacked and captured a large
convoy proceeding from Venice to Trieste, protected
by six heavy gunboats, for which the First-Lieu-
tenant (Harper) of the Excellent was promoted
(Gazette, Dec., 1809). On his return from the
Adriatic, Capt. West was appointed by Lord Col-
lingwood to the command of a squadron of six
ships and vessels for the defence of the Island of
Sicily and to watch the enemy's force at Naples.
In 1810, on his appointment to his Majesty's ship
Sultan, 74, he was detached by Sir C. Cotton with
the Lavinia frigate under his orders to conduct cer-
tain operations on the coast of Corsica—a service
which was fully accomplished and for which he re-
ceived the approbation of the Admiralty conveyed
through the Commander-in-Chief. In 1812 he was
detached by Sir Edward Pellew, LB., to the Gulf
of Genoa, and captured two of the enemy's vessels
conveying mortars, &c. Detached the same year
by the Commander-in-Chief in command of a squad-
ron consisting of two sail of the line and a frigate,
ordered to proceed to the coasts of Sardinia and
Tunis with instructions relative to the Algerines.
Her Majesty's ship Sultan being ordered home to
refit after a lengthened service in the Mediterranean
Captain West proceeded on its completion to join
the Channel fleet, under Lord Keith, blockading
the ports of Brest and Toulon, where he remained
till the close of the war, and accompanied the Com-
mander-in-Chief to Bordeaux to co-operate in with-
drawing the English army from France. This ser-
vice accomplished, he proceeded to the West Ind;,es
in charge of a convoy for the several islands, and
returned to England the same year.
Sir John's commissions bore date as under :
Flag, 1819 ; vice-admiral, 1830; fall, •1841 ; ap-
pointed Commander-in-Chief, Plymouth, 1845;
Knight Commander of the Bath, 1840 ; Grand.
Cross, 1850 ; Admiral of the Fleet, 1858.

Sir John West was a younger son 'of Mr. Temple
West, Lieut.-Col. Ist Foot Guards, and succeeded
his elder brother, Mr. Temple West, as representa-
tive of that branch of Wests long settled formerly
in the counties of Buckingham and Northampton.
He married Harriet, only daughter of Mr. J. Adams,
by whom he has left a family, who survive him.

ALLEGED DEATH BY GAROTTING.—YeSterday
morning information was forwarded to the different police
stations, that shortly after midnight a police-constable on
duty in Holborn found a man of respectable appearance
lying on the ground at the corner of Brooke-street, insen-
sible. With the assistance of some other officers he was
taken to the police station in Smithfield, where he was seen
by the divisional surgeon,
who found him dying, and he
shortly afterwards expired. From the inquiries instituted
by the police, there is every reason to believe the deceased
had been garotted and robbed, as nothing was found on his
person of any value, or likely to lead to identity. Mr.
Payne, the city coroner, has postponed the inquest, to give
the police an opportunity to collect evidence, so as to, throw
some light on the mysterious affair.
