Sunday morning a Windsor barge, lying at anchor
at Fulham Bridge, heavily laden with iron and-coals,
sunk in deep water. The barge unfortunately had tw I
men on board asleep, one of them escaped, but the
other, a fine young mar., was drowned. Search has
been made for the body, but it has not yet been found.
Since the days of Captain BARCLAY'S tar-famed
feat of singing and begging his way through England,
scarcely a week has passed but one or another of our
brethren of the broad-sheet has ann'unced the arrival
is his neighbourhood of some singing Gentleman" on
a begging and ballad-singing excursion, to " decide a
wager." A man arrived here on Friday night last
from Ambleside, dressed in tartan clothes; he pro.
fessed to be a ballad-singer, but was refused permis-
sion to sing in the streets. On Saturday, however,
he sold or gave away his ballads. A report was spread
that he was possessed of " loads of money," and that he
treated everybody about him; of course, " everybody
flocked to see him"—for " everybody" is marvellously
fond of " cheap drink;" and as he threw about his
money like a fool, he must be a " Gentleman." On
Tuesday night, we understand, he gave a ball to a
number of persons at the White Hart, and treated all
around him. To•day (Saturday) it is said he will ex-
hibit in .the market-place, 'where be is to have a table
and sell ballads, and treat all buyers with a pinch of
snot, or a glass of wine, we have not ascertained which.
He is a tolerably vulgar looking personage, and speaks
with a broad Scotch accent. Os dit —that he has laid
a wager of 6,0001. that he will travel thsougb every
town in England, Ireland, and Scotland in three years;
Ito sing ballads one year. beg another, and sell matches
the thud.--Westrnoriand Advertiser.

We understand that Captain Bathurst at first ex.
pressed a wish to be buried in England, bet that be
afterwards said it would be better to bury him in Malta.
The Admiral conceiving the wish first expressed to be
that nearest the veteran's heart, resolved upon comply.
ing with it.
When Captain Bathurst was laid in bed after his
wounds had been dressed, he found his leg in an uneasy
position ; he therefore called to the Surgeon, and re.
quested him to move the limb, saying in a tone of
apology--" I'm a little fidgetty just no*—but I hope
you'll excuse it.'
When Captain Moore was brought down wounded.
Captain Bathurst recognizing his voice, exclaimed,
"Ali! Moore, is that your—.. Yes," said Capt. Moore.
" I'm wounded."—" Ah," replied Captain Bathurst.
" Fortune de guerre."
The Assistant Surgeon of the Hind cotter, tender to
the Asia, was dressing a wound, when an alarm was
given that the enemy were boarding. He immediately
threw down his instruments, ran upon deck, seised a
pike, and helped most manfully to repulse the foe.
This being done, lie went below, and quietly resumed
his surgical operation. He has been removed to a large
ship io consequence of his bravery.
Captain Davies, of the Rose, whose bravery and ex.
pertness in extricating a French vessel from a Turbid'
fire ship we noticed in our last, was in the chains of thi
fire ship at the moment she blew up, and was actually
blown from her into his own boat, without receiving
any considerable injury.
We regret to state, that Hill, the Marine, whose
coolness at the moment of losing both his arms, we
noticed in our last, died at the Moral Hospital, Stone-
house, at one o'clock on Tuesdsy morning, in misc.
q_uance of his wounds. He warebout 21 years of age".
The following characteristic anecdote of this brave.
fellow is worth relating t—After the fatigues of the
action, one of the Officers of thnGenoa lay down to teat. .
himself on a chest on which poor mutilated troll was
sitting. Presently he was aroused by heatiogsouse coo
near him singing, and recognising the voice he ex.
claimed with surprise, " What 1 Helll4s that you sing-
ing?' " Yes, Sir," answered Hill, " I'm trying what t
Can do at ballad singing, now I've lost my atms."

As the purser of the Brisk was assisting the Surgeon
in dressing an amputation in the Captain's cabin, a
shot struck off his head, and shattered it to pieces.
Some of the 'philters wounded the Surgeon in the head,
and entered the wound he was in the act of dressing.
A marine on board of the Genoa had one of his arms
shot off in the heat of the action. He coolly took up
the severed arm and laid it on the shell:piece over him,
saying, "'There's an example for you all." .
The remains of Captain Bathurst will be buried with
military honours, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon of
this day (Thursday), at Stonehouse Chapel. A proces-
sion composed of .the Officers and men of the fleet, the
Royal Marines, and all the troops in garrison, will
attend the body to its resting place. The procetiion
will be formed at the Marine Barracks, where all the
Officers will appear with crape on the arm, and sword
knot. The battalion of Royal Marines will head the
procession. The body was landed yesterday at the
Admiral's Hard, and conveyed privately to the Marine
Barracks. As an additional mark of respect to the de-
ceased, the colours at the Citadel, St. Nicholas Islands
the Marine Practising Battery, and Mount Wise, will
be placed half-staff high, fines ten until twelve o'clock.

the various schools, naturally arising out of the subject
which bad engaged their emotion, to an of which the
children gave answers, with a readiness and corrects's.
