Died at Sheerness, on the 2351 Instant, after a short illness,
Captain Rosser JXDIKIX; of the 12th Regiment of Infantry,
aged 36 years. Captain Jzintrus bad served with great credit in
the 12th Regiment, for upwards of 15 years. He had also been
employed* India, and at the Mauritius, in various situations on
the Staff, and was always peculiarly fortunate in enjoying the
entire confidence and esteem of his superiors, by a punctual and
ablad ischarge of his several duties ; while, by his amiable.quali-
ties, he never failed to secure, in an unusualtegree, the warmest
regards of his brother Officers, and of every individual who had
the pleasure of his acquaintance. His memory will lung be
cherished, and hisioss deeply lamented, in his corps, where his
charming social qualities as a companion, and his character as a
sincere and steadfast friend, were intintatay known, and justly
appreciated. We regret to add, that a wife, with four young
children, will have to deplore the irreparable loss they sustain by
this premature and melancholy occurrence. •

Lord Met.viitz arrived at Portsmouth on Satur-
day afternoon, from the Admiralty, and proceeded
to Ryde, where his Lordship's family have some time
taken up their residence.
