DEATH OF SIR DAVID MILNE.—It is with feel-
ings of deep regret, which will be shared throughout the service,
that we announce the death of Admiral of the White Sir David
Milne, 0.C.8., who was second to the gallant Exmouth at
Algiers, and who only relinquished the command-in-chief at De-
vonport a few days since. The death of this hero took place on
board the Clarence steamer, in which vessel he was proceeding to
Scotland, attended by his amiable lady and son, Captain Alexander
Milne. He was Deputy-Lieutenant of the county of Berwick, and
venerated everywhere. From the previous bad health of this gal-
lant officer, such a result was anticipated on his leaving that active
service, which alone kept him alive; but it was not anticipated
that so short a time would place him amongst the illustrious
dead. We feel we cannot do ample justice to his good
name and services in the following epitome, but nevertheless,
we shall not even at this hasty moment refrain to reca-
pitulate a few of the principal actions of ono who, though
dead, will live in the country's history, and occupy a page
replete with brilliant interest and eternal honour. Sir David Milne
entered the navy in 1778, and was a midshipman in Rodney's
action. He was made a lieutenant in 1793, and in that rank, on
board the Blanche, distinguished himself on a variety of occasions
In the West Indies. He was promoted from this vessel for his
conduct in the splendid and hard fought action between this vessel
and the French frigate Pique. in 1795, and afterwards commanded
this frigate at the attack on the Dutch colonies of Demerara, Ber_
bice, &c., in 1796. In this frigate be also assisted in capturing the
Seine, in 1793, and, appointed to command that ship, he fought a
gallant action with, and captured the Vengeance. He received his
commission in 1785, and obtained his flag promotion as rear-ad-
miral on the 4th of June, 1814 ; and hoisting his Sag on board the
Impregnable, 104, seconded the noble Exmouth in his attack at
Algiers, when his ship was fairly riddled with shot. He became
vice-admiral on the 27th of May, 1825, and full admiral on the 23d
of November, 1841.
MAILS FOR AMERICA.—The Cambria, Captain
Jutikins, will sail from Liverpool on the 20th, with the mails for
British North America, Bermuda, and the United States of the-
lath inst.
