Mr. David Anderson saw his brother after the fire had burst forth, and shook hands with him while he was standing in the shrouds, whence, in a few moments, he was precipitated into the deep -never to rise again! The following is a list of the officers and pissengers, which we have reason to believe is quite correct:David Kydd, commander, not on board; Car Nimrod, 1st officer, lost; John Heron, 24 officer, saved; H. Volstudt, 3d officer, lost; David Anderson, passenger, saved; Wm. Anderson, ditto, lost; J. B. Macdonald, ditto, not on board; J. Kydd, a child, the nephew of the captain, lost; T.

"July 11. The freedom of the city of London was presented, in a gold box, to the Dukes of Kent, Sussex, and Gloucester, and the Prince of Saxe-Cobourg. The cere mony took place in Guildhall. The Roval Dukes severally returned thanks. Prince of Cobourg read a paper, and with a very distinct English accent, assured the Lord Mayor, that it would always be his ambition to assist in promot ng the commerce, interests, and prosperity of the city of Londou. The Chamberlain then conducted the Royal Visitors to his parlour, to see the duplicates of the honorary free. doms and thanks, for a suceession of years. The writer of them being in the room, the Chamberlain, in his usual handsome manner, was pleased to introduce Mr. Tomkins, id terms highly respectable and gratifying. The Duke of Sussex, after many observations, asked if the freedoms in that room were all written by one hand, and how many years from the commencement; when his Royal Highness was told by Mr. T——, in

the year 1776. He replied, "You must have felt yourself very happy in having had it in your power to transmit to posterity, in so ingenious and tasteful a manner, Records so honourable to this country, and to the distinguished great and revered characters, who have so nobly exerted their exalted talents in its service."-The Dukes of Kent and Gloucester, and Prince Cobourg, each expressed their surprise at the beautiful variety displayed in the designs and the powers of the pen,"--and concluded, by congratulating the Chamberlain in possessing the most interesting room, to a commercial city, in all Europe. There are fifty of these splendid ornaments, chronologically arranged. The first six written were unfortunately burnt. The party then adjourned to the Mansion-house, where a splendid entertainment was given by the Lord Mayor. After dinner the Lady Mayoress had a numerous evening party, consisting of not less than 2.000 persons: the Duke of Glouces ter was the only one of the royal party who danced. The Prince of Saxe Cobourg retired about half-past eleven.
