The following notice of the death of Mr. ,tr • S.
Boyd, Political Commissioner in Guzerat, and the Resi-
dent., at the Court of Baroda, is from the Bombay (le.2rn;
tlentan's Gazette. Mr. Boyd has, we fear, fallen a ,
to that which kills more than one-half our other ailmeno
—" one year too long in India :"—" It is with feelinJh
of sincere and unfeigned regret that we record the dot..
of Mr. William Sprot Boyd, late Political Commission;
in Guzerat, and Resident at Baroda. This lamentab
event occurred at Surat, on Tuesday, the 13th installf,
s
The deceased gentleman had for some time previ°llo
been unwell, and had stopped at Surat, on his way cloy:,
to Bombay. Had he lived it was his intention to ba
proceeded to England by a steamer which leaves on ibe
27th instant. The intellectual powers of the late 3`r;
Boyd were of a superior order, and his acquirernen
very extensive. He was well read, and intimately
quainted with the political state of India ; and his 1a1°,11,,
ledge of the habits and customs of the natives general
so excellent, that he frequently brought it to bear alftl
such facility and effect, that it surpasses description. to
his public character ho was prompt and decisive ;
whatever capacity he was serving the Governaleil,
whether as Collector, Commissioner, Secretary, or II if °
dent, he was beloved by all his inferiors, and the name 5
Boyd was never spoken of by them but with respect all
admiration. In his private character he was frank, up.
right, and full of honourable feeling ; generous, affablei
and unostentatious, he was universally esteemed by
who had the honour of his acquaintance. His raellw•i',
will be held in veneration while Bombay is in existellest
In him, we may most truly say, the Government hale I°bs
atalented and considerate protector, and society a brig
and distinguished ornament."

Wilson (a Director) inquired whether anything had be,
done in retard to the memorial which had been Pre.
sented to the Treasury, on the loss of the Pegasus stet-.

place with Mr. Gladstone, of the Board of Trade, Id
London, at which the Lord Provost of Glasgow, &c" ha
been present, on the subject of shipwrecks, and It ap"
pcared that there was a great difficulty in doing anytnl„l
