THE CASE OF CAPTAIN CASEY.—It will no doubt he in
the recollection of our readers that the circumstances
attending the mutilation and singular preservation of Cap-
tain John Casey, the master of the ship Jane Lowden,
created a powerful interest in the public mind when the
case was made known last summer, in consequence of an
application made on his behalf to Mr. Partridge at this
Court. His ship became water-logged in the Atlantio
ocean. All the crow, sixteen in number, sought refuge in
the main-top, and all perished except the unfortunate
captain, who was exposed to the elements for 33 days, and
for 28 days did not taste a morsel of food. lie was
rescued by the crew of the Dutch barque Ida Elizabeth.
He was then a wasted skeleton, and weighed 421bs. only
The kindest attention was paid to him by,the master of
the Dutch ship ; ho was conveyed to the Helder, in Hol-
land, and was an inmate of the hospital there for six
months. Six fingers and five toes were amputated. The
Dutch people, from the King downwards, paid him every
attention. The greatest skill :Ind care was devoted to his
ease, and he at last reached London. By tho kindness
and recommendations of the Rev. Mr. Jameson, English
chaplain, at the Hague, upwards of £2OO was collected for
him in Holland, and invested by the Ilov. Mr. Tyaike,
vicar of Padstow, on behalf of his wife and family.
Upwards of £lOO was sent to Mr. Partridge for
the benefit of Captain Casey, and the whole amount
was invested by Mr. Livingston, the chief usher of the
court, in the Three per Cent. Consols. A letter from
Captain Casey, who has been living at Badslow, in Corn-
wall, since last October, was received this morning,
stating that his mutilated hands and feet were healed up,
and that ho could now walk about the town, that his
friend, Captain James Mungles, R.N., of Fairfield, near
Exeter, a largo-hearted and Christian gentleman, was very
kind and attentive to him. Captain Casey's remark-
able preservation and his misfortunes have excited
sympathy in a foreign land, it was announced to Mr.
Partridge this morning that 193 rupees (£l9 10s.)
had been forwarded to hire from Aden, £3O
from Quebec, and an additional .£5 from his benevolent
patron, the Rev. Mr. Jameson. Cfpt. Casey begged leave
to request that these donations might be acknowledged
through the medium of the press; and, at the same time,
to express his gratitude and the heartfelt thanks of his wife
and family for the sympathy of the people at Aden, Quebec,
and Holland.

Mr. Partridge said he was very, glad to hear that Capt
Casey had met with so much material aid from the bone
volent, and believed his case to be a very deserving one.

described as infinite, touching all keys and equally effec-
tive in every touch.
