On the 26th ultimo, at his residence, Mile End. JOSEPH
SOMES, Esq., M.P. for Dartmouth, after a brief illness. He
was the architect of his own fortune, and succeeded in accumu-
lating very considerable wealth. lis principal pursuit was
that of a ship builder, but he took a very active pa. t in the
affairs of the New Zealand Company, being governor of that
corporation : it was not, however, till within the last year that
he aspired to a seat in Parliament. When Sir John Seale died
he offered himself to the constituency of Dartmouth, where he
was opposed by Mr. Moffat, the numbers being—for Mr. Somes,
125 ; for Mr. Moffat, 11s. Mr. Moffat petitioned, on the ground
of his opponent being a c.)ntractor, but on investigation by a
Parlhmentary Committee, it appeared that the contracts re-
ferred to by the petitioner had been some time previously in the
hands of Mr. Somes's partner, and he was therefore seated by
the decision of the Committee. Mr. Somes occasionally spoke
in the House of Commons, but not very frequently, nor in any
manner to attract particular attention. In the city he was very
high'', esteemed, and naturally enjoyed the great influence
which arose from high character and ample capital.
