DEATH (A, LIEUTENANT M'KENZIE, OF GREENWICH
HOSPITAL.—Our obituary of yesterday recorded the
death of another veteran officer of Greenwich Hospital,
Lieutenant Charles M'Kenzie (1799), in the 77th year
of his age. This officer entered the navy, August 23,
1793, as A. 8., on board the Quebec, 32, Captain Judas
Rogers, and after visiting the coast of Holland, accom-
panied the expeditic n under Vice• Admiral Sir John
Jervis at d Gt neral Sir Charles Grey against the French
West India Islands, where ht.? e-as wounded in the left
shoulder during the landing at Fart Royal, Martinique.
On his removal, as midshipman, in April, 1794, to the
Vesuvius, bomb, Captain Thomas Rugs rs, he co operated
in the reduction of St. Lucia and Guadaloupe, and then
returned with convoy to England. He was next, for
a period of nearly two years, employed in the
Channell, off the coast of Africa, and again in the West
Indies, on board L'Espiegle, 16, Captain Benjamin Ro-
berts, and Sheerness, 44, Captain Simon Maenzie; after
which we find him, from September. 179 G, until advanced
to his present rank, Dec. 9, 1799, commanding, with the
rasing of master's mate, the Success, gun brig, on the
Plymouth station. He joined, on the occasion of his

Nov. 6, 1816. Lieutenant M'Kenzie was admitted into
Greenwich Hospital Dec. 19, 1844. He married June
22, 1826, and has issue two sons and four daughters.
The Superb, 80, Captain Purcell (that has been so
long at her anchors at Spithead), had, we were glad to
see, a flourish yesterday. She got underweigh, and
cruised about Spithead for an hour or two—after which
she took up a fresh berth more to the eastward.
The Daedalus, 20, Captain G. G. Wellesley, was paid
advance, mustered, and inspected by Roar-Admiral
Superintendent Sir John Louis. Bart., at Devonport, on
Thursday morning, and is to sail this day for the Pacific
station on the arrival of the mail.

The Calypso, 18, Captain Worth, was towed into har-
bour, alongside the dockyard jetty, on Thursday evening,
and yesterday morning, at daylight, began to land her
valuable freight, which was put into waggons as landed,
and conveyed by Messrs. Emanuel to the South Coast
terminus at Landport. The weight of the freight is
about 80 tons. 2,000,000 dollars being in specie, and to
the value of 1,000,000 dollars in Californian gold. The
gold is in the natural state in which it is dug up, gene-
rally in variously shaped pieces from an ounce weight to
smaller pieces weighing a few grains; some of it is in
gold dust. It left Landport terminus last night and will
be delivered at the Bank of England this morning.
Captain Worth is, we are sorry to say, suffering from a
protracted illness; but it is supposed that he will go
round to Woolwich iu command of the Calypso. She
was to be towed out of harbour yesterday evening, and
to proceed to Woolwich to be paid off.
The Contest, 13, in dock at Portsmouth, had been or-
dered to be got ready for commission by the middle of
October. She appears to be opened in her seams a good
deal, and requ;res some repairs.
The Rifleman, screw- schooner, Lieut. Commander
Crofton, and Spider, packet-brig, Lieut. Commander
Tomlinson, were at Rio on the 22d July.
The Arrogant, 46, screw-frigate, Captain Fitzroy, will
go cut of Portsmouth harbour to-day, and proceed in a
few days for Lisbon.

The-Dragon, 6, steam-frigate, Captain W. 11. Hall,
received her shells and powder yesterday morning at
Spithead, and sailed in the afternoon, about four o'clock,
for the Mediterranean, to supply the place of thc Ter-
rible. The latter vessel has been ordered home without
waiting to be relieved by the Dragon; therefore she may
be hourly expected. The Dragon will call at Devonport.
The Cormorant, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Schoen-
berg, received her orders at Portsmouth yesterday morn-
ing, and she sailed in the forenoon for South America.
The Vesuvius, steam sloop, Mr. Martin in charge,
returned to Devonport, from Greenock, on Thursday
afternoon.

PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY, 5 P.M.—Wind W.N, W.,
moderato breezes, and cloudy.
DEVONPORT, THURSDAY.—To-morrow having been
appointed as a day of fast, humiliation, and prayer, the
dockyard will be entirely closed.
CHATHAM, SEPT. 14.--The barque Euxine has arrived
from Quebec with a cargo of timber for the dockyard,
and the brig Paragon, from St. Petersburgh, has also
arrived, with a cargo of hemp.
The Rochester naval lighter sailed this day with
naval stores for Woolwich and Deptford dockyards.
Mr. Oliver Lang, master shipwright of Woolwich
yard, and Mr. Francis J. Lain, master shipwright of
this yard, have both proceeded, by ordor of the Admi-
ralty, to Sheerness to survey the Revenge, 76 guns, in
conjunction with the master shipwright of that yard.
A company of the Royal Marine Artillery, consisting
of 3 sergeants, 2 corporals. 1 bombardier, and 75 pri-
vates, under command of Captain John Fraser, with
Lieutenant and Adjutant W. Aslett, from the head-
quarters, arrived yesterday and joined the Chatham
Division. A similar detachment left this division for
Portsmouth the day before.
The health of the troops in this garrison continues
generally good. The prohibition still continues
in force against the soldiers entering the towns
of Rochester, Chatham, and Strood, in consequence of
the cholera Mill prevailing. The returns to the Regis-
trar-General's-office for the past week contain 10 deaths
from cholera and two from diarrheas within the district
of Chatham and Rochester; and the week before there
were also the returns of 10 deaths from cholera. Since
the epidemic made its first appearance the number of
deaths from cholera has been 60. In Strood the epidemic
is more serious considering the smallness of the popula-
tion of that parish; during the week there were 9 deaths
from cholera notified by the registrar of that district.

BLOWING Cr of THE SHIP MlNERVA.—lntelli-
gence was yesterday received at Lloyd's of the destruc •
Lion of the ship Minerva, Captain Hovenden, master.
The ship left Sydney on the 6th of February last, bound
for Portland Bay, having on board, besides passengers,
200 barrels of gunpowder, and a large quantity of rum,
brandy, and sulphur. She was obliged to put into Jervis
Bay to undergo repairs, and left that place on the 20:h
of March. On the following day, at four o'clock A.M. ,
the hold was discovered to be on fire, and the crow,
being aware of the dangerous nature of the cargo,
launched the boats, and made their escape in them
without delay, accompanied by the captain and passen-
gers. Within 15 minutes of their leaving the vessel
a tremendous explosion took place, carrying the decks
500 feet into the air. The ruin and brandy, &e., were
ignited, and the vessel, after burning to the water's edge
sunk. The boats made for Port Fairy, end, after being
tossed about in a tempestuous sea for six days, and
having nothing but a keg of water and some baracootas
to subsist upon—the baracootas proved poisonous and
were thrown overboard—succeeded in reaching Port
Philip Heads, where assistance was obtained. The loss
is estimated at several thousand pounds.
Diarrhea is just now prevalent to an extraordinary
extent in the neighbourhood of Colchester, as it seems
to be, indeed, almost universally. Eighty-three cases
arising among the out-door poor were reported at the
last Meeting of the Colchester guardians as under treat.,
meat by the medical officer, Mr. Blair. It is gratifying,
however, to find that in no case has the malady had a
fatal termination.,—Chelmsford Chronicle.
