captivity of sixty-three years, PIERRE JOSEPH SOETE. At the
age of 17 he was condemned, for the murder of a young girl, to
be broken on the wheel ; but the Empress Maria Theresa, at the
solicitation of the Societe de Saint George, at Ghent, commuted
his punishment to that of perpetual imprisonment. In 1014, after
thirty-six years spent in prison, Count Bichaloff, Hetman of the
Cossacks, then quartered at Ghent, released Soiete ; but, finding
himself without kindred, friends, or the means of living, he begged
to return to confinement, and in the dreary asylum of the Rasp
Hula (prison) he remained twenty-seven years more, till death re-
leased him. _ _

tacked with infiamation, which terminated fatally.

steamer, and, in his situation, was much esteemed for his kind
disposition and obliging manners. He had been upwards of thirteen
years in the service of the Mersey and Irwell Navigation Company,

ployer's confidence in the integrity of his character.

•
On the 22d ultimo, suddenly, at his little fishmonger's shop, in
Church.passage, Greenwich, aged upwards of 80, JOHN SYKES,
Nelson's coxswain. Sykes was a most daring fellow, and was with
Nelson during the whole of the time of his glorious deeds. He,
most of all, distinguished himself at the battle of Trafalgar. His
bravery deserved greater reward than it received. " Peace to his
name." Sykes was a native of the city of Lincoln.

Countess of Sefton, Arlington.street, London, to the deep regret

Ist batallion of the Oath Royal Rifles. In him the corps he com-
manded has lost one who possessed all the qualities that rendered
him beloved by his regiment, and the virtues that esteemed him as
a man. As in life, so in death, were his feelings those of a soldier I
for those with whom he had so long lived, as a friend, companion,
and protector, occupyed his thoughts in dying, as his last wishes
were to be buried by his regiment.
