Vhlrc, member in the last and pre- 

 ceding parliaments for that county. 

 This young officer, whose merit had 

 raised him at an early age to the 

 rank he bore in the royal navy, fell 

 a victim to that benevolence of heart 

 and contempt of danger which so 

 strongly characterise the British 

 sailor. The particulars of this disr 

 astroiis event are detailed in lieut. 

 Foley's letter to admiral Duck- 

 worth ; suffice it here to say, that 

 captain B. his lirst lieutenant Mr. 

 Davis, and four seamen, were un- 

 happily lost by their generous and 

 successful, though to themselves fa- 

 tal, exertions to save from destruc- 

 tion the crew of a foundering Spa- 

 nish schooner. Captain B.'s elder 

 brother Edward, then a midshipman 

 on board the Leviathan, died at Ja- 

 maica of the yellow fever in April 

 1796. These two young men, in 

 the opinionof their superior officers, 

 promised to become distinguished in 

 their profession ; to their family 

 their loss is irreparable ; for never 

 did two sons merit or enjoy a greater 

 share of parental aftection and soli.,
