A few days since a distressed female, with a child,
was soliciting alms at Plymouth, in order to enable
her to proceed on her journey to her home at Mara-
:ion, in Cornwall. She had just returned from
ISpain, having followed the fortune* of her husband
and son, a fine young man, 18 years of art, through
two mmpaigits. Her husband was in the front rank,
and her son in the centre, when a shot in, battle
brought the first to the greyed: her son stepped into
the front rank, and occupied the place of his father.
In this situation, and with one foot unavoidably
pared on the body of his fallen parent, the gallant
1 youth also received a ball, and-fell lifeless., On
mentioning the fall of her sea, the mourner was
t particularly affected. Both father and son were
Cornish men.

Monday afternoon, as two boys, about twelve
years old, one of them the ten of General Desbrisay,
of the Royal Artillery, the other of Mr. Webber, of
Exmouth, were bathing in the sea at that place, they
were carried out a considerable distance by the tidyl
and both disappeared. Assistance was soon pro.
c.ared, and the bodies taken op; the son of Mr.
Webber was fortunately restored, but the son of
General D. was past recovery, the means of resusci.
tation having been used in vain. It is supposed •hiel
strength must have been exhausted, and his life gone
before he sunk, as he was not test minutes tinder
