At Mhow in India, after one day's illness of spasmodic cholera, aged 21, Ensign William Wollaston, of 57th N. I. fourth son of the Rev. Henry John Wollaston, Rector of Scotter, Lincolnshire. This young officer gave the brightest promise of being an ornament to his profession. He possessed in an eminent degree the esteem and attachment of the whole Regiment and to all those who enjoyed the happiness of his acquaintance, his frank, open-hearted, cheerful disposition, and his highly honourable principles, will make the loss they have sustained, a calamity to be long felt and deplored. The officers of his regiment have united to erect a monument over his remains.

interior, had the misfortune to step into a
crater of boiling mud and water. Having the
presence of mind to throw himself back-
ward, he was extricated from his perilous
situation by the by-standers; but his right
leg was dreadfully burnt, in which state he
was conveyed to Ternate, where becoming
seriously ill, the Dutch schooner, Ternate,
was chartered to take him to Amboyna.
The Count, however, did not live to see
that place, dying on board at the entrance
of the bay.
