who is now no more. tie died at Adrianople, in
Turkey, where be held the post and discharged
the duties Of British Consul. 1t is man full Of
kindness and goodness the afflicted and distressed
that he is deserving % passing notice. He was
formerly the British Consul at Mogadore, in the
kingdom of Barbary, on the coast of Africa Many
years ago, an American ship was wrecked on the
coast, and the crew, who escaped, together with
the captain, were found the shore by the Arabs,
who stripped and p9ndered them of all they had
been able to save from the wreck and greatly i'll
treated and abused them. By these wild and savage
Arabs they were carried into the interior of the
county several days Journey, and were sold as
slaves In this miserable situation of almost hope
ietsness, far from the reach of friends and beyond
the bounds Of Europei civilization, Mr.. Wiltshire,
the English Consul ut Mogad0re, heard of some
OF them, and came 70 their relief He brought money
and provisions with hin. and paid himself the

country. This a. racued in the first term of the
Presidency Of Geusl1i sckson. The General was
