AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATIL—Major Ep-
worth, late of the Royal Marines, having lately sold ffs
Commission, and in ending to invest a portion of the
(money arising from the sale in an annuity, he, on the
21st instant, went to Totness, for the purpose of pro-
curing the certificate of his baptism ; but whilst the
Clergyman was opening the book, the Major was
seized with a fit of apoplexy, which carried him off
without a struggle. Medical assistance was procured
in a few minutes, but in vain, as the vital spark had fled.
The ship Countess of Morley, which sailed from Ply-
mouth in March last, with settlers for the river Plate,
under the auspices of the London Rio de la Plata Asso-
ciation, returned to Plymouth on Tuesday, bringing
back about two-thirds of her passengers, which are
chiefly of the labouring class. The Countess of Morley
was detained seven weeks at Monte Video, by the Bra-
zilian squadron then blockading the river, who gave
the settlers the alternative, either to proceed to Rio de
Janeiro, where grants of land and pecuniary aid, under
an Imperial order, were offered to such as chose to settle
in the Brazilian territory, or to return to England.
About sixty of the number, we understand, have re-
mained at Monte Video, where they are engaged in
various occupations ; the remainder ;Ad-erred retu;ning
to England. We have been informed that previous to
the sailing of this vessel from Plymouth, licences hat
been procurettfor all vessels belonging to the association
to pass the blockade, but on the arrival of the Countess
of Morley, Admiral Lobos had been superseded and
another commander appointed, who refus-d to confitm
the document signed by Lobos. Evet y other vessel be.
longing to the company had passed without interrup-
tion. The passengers generally are in excellent health;
the agent here has been attentive to theft- wants, they
were supplied with fresh provisions immediately on
arrival, and arrangements are milting to forward them
to their homes, to prevent their being burdensome to
the neighbouring parishes.
