H., went on a fishing excursion on the 29th
ut, and became so chilled by wading about
in the water that he was seized with severe
pains and nearly lost the use of his limbs.
Physicians were called in, but nothing could
be done to save his life. A post mortem ex-
animation disclosed the fact that he died Of
Inflammation, the result of long exposure to
the chilling effects Of the water.

a CASE IN POINr.-From a speech in Par
Lament Of Mr.. Fitzgerald, one of the British
Ministers, on the 10Th of July. it appears that
the American cruisers on the coast Of Africa
have searched three vessels carrying the
French flag, on the suspicion, which proved

sells. The fact was communicated to the
British Government by Gen. Cass, as illus
trative of the views and actual practice of
our own Government.
