We cannot conclude these few remarks without
| appending few words respecting the HE and cha
| racter OF the late Capt Bursley. The gallant cap

he from his infancy. for before be was - years OF
axe he entered the mercantile marine OF the port
OF Boston and So quick was his progress in hls
chosen profession that before he attained hrs 2lst
year he commanded IN East ludiaman from Cal
cutta % Boston. IL is now upwards OF 81 years
since he first entered the Mersey as master of the
Droyer a irstcass vessel OF the original Boston
hne OF packet ships, since which lac has been re
quent yislter "a our port AZ subsequent period

lection OF many OF our readers, that the Cambridge
was severely tried, were also the nautical skhl
