FURTHER MORTALITY.

7th. — H.M. steam-vessel ‘Pluto,’ sailed last night 
for the mouth of the Brass River, with Mr. Oarr, who, 
in spite of all the advice of Captain Trotter and Mr. 
Beecrofb to the contrary, still persisted in his resolution 
of returning to the model farm, and, moreover, trusting 
himself in the native canoes, with different packages 
of clothing, &c.; the sequel was not to be wondered 
af'h The remains of Morgan Kinson, who expired 
last night, were this morning committed to the grave. 
His disease was more symptomatic pf inflamed 
stomach than fever, which an examination proved. On 
inquiry, we learned that for some time previously to 
the attack, he had been in the habit of using a great 
quantity of hot peppers in his rations of coffee and 
rum ; that the very morning of his first complaining, 
he had taken a large spoonful of Guinea pepper ; and 
* Mr. Carr and his servant were taken into the Brass River by one 
of the ‘ Pluto’s’ boats, where he engaged a canoe, in which he placed 
all his luggage. Mr. Browne, a native of Cape Coast, who had 
accompanied him thus far, knowing a little of the language, and sus- 
pecting the natives had evil intentions towai'ds Mr. Carr, api3rised him 
of these suspicions, and earnestly implored him to return on board 
the * Pluto.’ Even after the canoe had staided, both Mr. Duffield, one 
of the ‘ Pluto’s’ officers, and Browne, advised him strongly not to trust 
himself in such hands. He persisted, however, and from that time 
nothing has been seen of him; but there is every reason to believe he 
was robbed and murdered soon after commencing his voyage.
