At sea, between the Cape and St. Helena, on his voyage from
Australia to England, H. F. GISBORNE, Esq., second son of T.
Gisborne, Esq., M.P., private secretary of Sir Richard Bourke,
when Governor of Australia, and subsequently Commissioner of

Lately, at West Derby, in her 83rd year, JOANNA, widow of Ne
late Mr. WM. DERBYSHIRE, much respected and regretted.
On the 3rd ultimo, in the prison of Ghent, aged 80, after a
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 1814, 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
Huis (prison) he remained twenty-seven years more, till death re-
leased him.

On the 16th ultimo, in this town, Mr. SQUIRE WHITTAKER,
late of Bradford. Deceased, was on board the emigrant abip
Brooklyn, which sailed from Liverpool for New York on Sunday,
the 2nd ultimo, and came in collision with the Mary Scott, from
Valparaiso. In a fit of fright, the deceased jumped overboard;
and, though saved from a watery grave, he was immediately at-
tacked with infiamation, which terminated fatally.

On the 17th ultimo, at his lodgings, in Runcorn, in his 29th year,
Mr. SAMUEL HIGGINSON. He was checquer of the Tower
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,
and was promoted to his appointment of checquer from his em.
ployer's confidence in the integrity of his character.

_ On the 21st ultimo, in her-68th year, much and deservedly re.
gretted, ELLEN, relict of the late Mr. BENJAMIN ROBINSON,
Bootle.

Same day, at his residence, Devonshire-place, Everton, aged 44,
Mr. JOHN WATT.

On the 22d ultimo, suddenly, at his little fishmonger's shop, in
Church-passage, Greenwich, aged upwards of so, 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.

On the tiod ultimo, at the residence'of his mother, the Dowager
Countess of Sefton, Arlington-street, Loudon, to the deep regret
of his regiment, Lieutenant Colonel the Hon. H. MOLYNEUX,
Ist batallion of the 60th Royal Rifles. In him the corps he corn.
mantled 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 ;
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.
On the 27th ultimo, at his daughter's, aged 91, Mr. DANIEL
ROBINSON, butcher, late of George-street, of this town.
On the 29th ultimo, at his house, 5, Stafford-street, HUGH
JONES, Esq., aged 54.

76, much and deservedly regretted by all who had the pleasure of
his acquaintance.
