ANECDOTE OF LORD EXiiOUTH'S EA DARING.— Active
beyond his companions, Mr. Pellew did 'the ship's duty with a
smartness which unne.iif them could equal; and as every one
takes pleasure where he excels, Ile had soon become a thorough
seaman.. At the same time, the buoyancy of youth, and a nit.;
tilrally playftil diNposition, him continually into teats of
more than common daring. .In the spring of 1775, General
Burgoyne took his passage to America in the Blonde, and when
he came alongside, the yards were manned to receive him..
Looking up, he was surprised to see a inhishipman on the yard-
arm standing on his head., Captain Pownoll,itsho was at his
side, soon quieted his apprehenSions,,by assuring hint that it
was only one of the usuat frolics of young Pellets, and that the
general' might make himself quite at ease fdr hii Safety, for
that if he should fall, he would only go under the ship's bottom
and romp hp on the other side.• sWhat on this occasion was
prohably spoken but in jest, was. afterwards'. more than real-
ized; for he actually sprang from the fore-yard of the Blonde,
while she was going fast through the water, and saved a man
who had fallen Overboard. Captain Pownoll,reproached hini
for his rashness, but he shed tears when he spike of it to the of-
ficers, and declared that ViAlew was a noble fellow. —Fr om Ost-

DEATH pp Ma. TIENRY.--Died at his holm, -11, Great Or-

with great reputation Several important judicials, situations io

de 'Of friend's, and vest raMerallV beloved a. 4 Anatpright bon-
, curable man, of tha kindest and most humane dispoaition. He •
was the tivst English President of Demerara,..lnl€43, and was

pation by,the English, and framed the prneesiiire. for their.new.

He was next one of the counsel to Queen Caroline, and froyni
his great knowledge of the Italian fungnage, character, and
customs, sent as a corninissionerto Italy on behalf of her -
jesty, by appointment of Lord Castlereagh. Having, from his
quickness and tact' always given great satisfaction in all em-
ployments which he filled, he was afterwards sent, in It •t. its
senior of the commissions forlegal inquiry in the'West
He was the author of many wanks on legal subjects, and, even a
few days before t he stroke which caused his death, had puldiebett
a pamphlet which went through three editions. Ile has left
widow and several children. The sons iliac mostly grown ut‘i
and having been carefully educated are all, we believe, tilling
ans.plovments with credit. At r. Henry has not left behind jiim
a single enemy; he was incapable of being nujuai to any haiku
being.
THE SPANINit MERCE:VATIIES.—The agetitg of the ePanislii
Government still continue to raise recruits in Glasgow, Edin-
burgh, Paisly, and surrounding towns, anti parties of them core.;
time to arrive here daily, and are immediately traushipped on;
board the brig Crown, moored at the Tail of the Bank, to await
being dispatched to Spain by steamers. Every exertion is used
tit induce young men to enter the service, and Ihey receive every
encouragement from the cfficeris of the Commissariat depart--
ment. Whenever a recruit goes on board the Crown, he is ta-
ken on the quarterdeck, and receives a glass of whisky, and im-
mediately after a pound loaf 9nd half a pound of biscuit, with a
large cut of the best beef or mutton, as much soup 0,1 he can
use, and a jug.- of porter. Such is the daily allotsantT of each
man, Which (speaking from the enternal appearance of Many of
them) must be a material improvement upon their precious fare.
However,as many of them enlist in the course of drunken frolics,
or after quarrels Frith their friends or masters, they take frequent
opportunities of deserting; and notwithstanding the attention of
the officers on board, and the crew of the guard-boat, there id
scarcely a day but some of them effect their escape by the boats
that go out to visit the ship in the evenings. On Tuesday night;
a Glasgow lad, who could not. succeed in getting away by any
of the boats, resolved on dropping into the sea and swimming
ashore. Some female friends, with whom arrangements had
been made, were waiting for him on the beach, and having giv-,
en the necessary signals, he d rept overboard unperceived, acct
had nearly reached the land when his escape was discovered.
The guard-boat set out after him immediately; but ere it was
more than a mile front the ship, the Ind had landed among the
rocks near the Powder-house, and was supplied with clothes
by his friends ; and, thOugh mot ti exhausted, after swimming
two miles, he ran along the road towards thit Bay of Quick.
When the guard-boat landed, the women laid hold of the crew.
and detained them, so that the lad had stifficii.qittime to be nut of
their sight. Ile concealed himself in scene Of the houses in the
Bay of Quick, and effectually escaped. Scenes of this kind wen,
frequent in this neighbourhood. during time of-impressment ;
