to-day. His case was the opposite to that of poor 
Mr. Wakeham ; having been in fact, a very drunken 
character. In the evening, Mr. Harvey, master 
of the ‘Albert,’ died, after a long and painful 
struggle. He was for the last few days distressed

him, by assurances that he should be left at Fernando 
Po, where he would find a field for his exertions equally 
rich and new. Remonstrances were now renewed,
