The easel circumnances, under which our lamented
Hero fell, have not yet been fisted. Capt. HARDT
and hlmfelf had walked the quarter-deck for fame
minutes, converting upon the bufinefs of the pending
contell. They had been Meat about a minute, and
Capt. HARDT had continued his ?talk in the end of
the quarter deck, before he perceived' that Lord
NEL.° pe had turned three or four paces lbw t of.him,
and had fallen. Two &ants were then in the an of
railing him. Capt. HARDY took his hind, and hid,
I I hope, my Lord, you are not badly wounded.'—

It would be milers to recount the traits of heroihn

(lances have, however, come to our knowledge.
which we cannot forbear to Rate to the public I both

inftances occurred on b.iard the ViCtory, and both
the perfons belonged to that ever gallant and meri-
torious body, the Royal Marine Corps. A corporal,
in the middle of the aCtion, had his arm carried off

by a cannon (hot ; he bound the Hump round with
the IA of an officer who had been killed, fpirited up
a party to board the enemy, and was bumf& at the
head of that party, and the firll that was on board
the oppofing chip.—A private marine was at the point
al firing his mutket, when his left arm was Rruck off
by a ball ; be afterwards fired off hit piece, and went,
unattended, to the cock p 1, carry ing Isis muncet with
him in his right arm.

remonarances made by the American States
to the Government of Spain, refpeeing the detention

have produced the decried effect. Spain, feeling the

A battle was fought IA Monday, for so guineas a
fide, near Briton Park, Yorkfhire,lsetween two fellows
of the names of Richard Deplige (called the Young
Belcher), and John Burke. It laited three quarters
of an hour, in which time they fought twentyone
rounds. On their entering the ring the bets tan equal
till after the third round, when the odds were five to
three in favour of Burke; at the eleventh and thin•
tenth rounds the bets were again equal ; much (par-
ring, and a great many (Co called) knock down blows
took place, when the battle terminated in favour of
Deplige, alias Belcher.
Latt week five colliers were let down into a coal
pit near Chefierfield, in order to proceed to work;
loon alter their arrival at the bottom, the fulpherous

man of the name of Orange was forced upwards of
fifteen yards with finch violence againfl one of the
coal benches as to fraeture his fkull, and he was other-

A curious circumfiance lately happened in a family
on Knaretburough Forel'. A man of the name of
TODD, who by great economy had accumulated 6o
guineas in gold, had occafion to go from home tor
a (hurt time—apprelicnfive of lnling his wealth, if
he took it with him, and of his family being profufe,
if he left it with them, he concealed it at the bottom
of an old box containing coals. Sonic :imc before his
re-urn the contents of the box were thrown upon the
lire ; when he arrived, he thought I.e perceived a
piece of cLin among the afhes, which on examination,
proved to be one of his beloved guineas! Diiigent
re irch was made for the remainder; but the gold had
r. cited, arid the metal being incorporated with the
duel, the valve of all that could be rec...yeted did not
amount to 3461.
