We are sorry to state the unfortunate death
Mr. PETER AligsVvoßTH (Son of THOMAS A IM-
of. Bolton;* Lancashire), Midship.
Man on board His Majesty's Ship Orpheus, Captain
HILL. It happened on the '22d of Odober last, t
:
Quebec
he went in a boat with Capt. HILL, who
that day dined on shore ; on returning to the boar,
it being very dark, and he being near-sighted, fell
unobserved over. the wharf. Several accidents of:
the same kind have happened in the same place, for
want of a railing. He was found under the bilge
of a vessel the morning following, at low water,
and was buried with all military honours at the
ProteStant burying-ground, the Captain and Offi-
cers of the Ship, the Field OffieerS on shore, and
Magistrates of the City, attending the Funeral.'
Few young men set out with better prospects, shew-
ed more zeal for the Service, or made greater pro
gress in the esteem and affedions of his Captain,
Brother Officers, and Ship's Company.

FALSE CHARACTERS.—A man. of the name of
Allen, was yesterday cnnviaed before Sir R. FORD
and E. NAISH, Esq. under the 32d of the present
Reign, for forging a certificate of his charaaer as a
servant, purporting to be the certificate of General.
TAR L ETON, addressed to Sir JOHN HARR INGTON,
Bart. to whom the 'Prisoner offered himself as a
butler •and valet, in which capacity he had lived
with Gen. TA.itt.wroN, blot having some reason to
think he should not obtain quite so good a recom-
mendation as he could wish if the General was re.
ferred to, he fabricated a letter to Sir JOHN HAR-
RINGTJN, much in his own praise, which however
being so execrable both in its ditlion and spelling,
immediately led to a detedion of the cheat.--The
Prisoner was adjudged to forfeit the sum 'of 201.
and ten shillings ousts, or in d..tiMt be c,mnit ltd
to the House of Corredion, to hard labour for three
months. The penalty was direaly paid.
