Contributions made by the People of the United States during the year 1847, for the relief of Ireland and Scotland.

N. B. The following list is known to be very incomplete, and is submitted in the hope of furnishing more satisfactory statistics in our next number. All the returns have been obtained from original sources, excepting that from New Orleans. In the enumeration of towns which contributed through the Boston Committee, some which contributed both money and provisions may have been counted twice. The amount contributed by charitable associations and committees, is supposed to have been less than the private remittances of the Irish in this country to their friends at home. Through Messrs. Harnden & Co., of Boston, there were remitted from November 1st, 1846, to October 1st, 1847, in small bills, mostly below £20, and all under £100, $536,056 for the relief of the suffering, and for passage money to this country. Those who have fuller statistics are respectfully requested to send them to the editor for publication in the next vol

AMERICAN OBITUARY.

1 8 4 6.

Sept. 8.-Off Cape Hatteras, George Mifflin Bache, Lieutenant-commanding United States Brig Washington. Lieutenant Bache was born in Philadelphia, where he received his education previously to his entrance into the Navy of the United States. He was ardently attached to his profession, and his mind was directed to the branches of science which bear upon nautical affairs. His service on ship board was nearly constant, and was always acceptable to those in command. About eight years ago he entered upon the duties of the coast survey, in which he distinguished himself by his precision, and the fertility of resource which such a work admits. First under Commander Gedney, and then as the chief of a hydrographic party, he has been engaged in the survey of the shores of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland. His name will be found in connection with, and responsible for, parts of the hydrography of the coast-survey charts of New York Bay, Delaware Bay, the Chesapeake, and the harbors of Annapolis, Baltimore, and Little Egg harbor, and others. He looked to the exploration . of the Gulf Stream as the crowning labor upon the work. The surface had been examined by his great ancestor; and he, with the resources of modern science at command, was to explore the depths, and to reveal to the navigator the laws of temperature, rate and set of current, in and near this mighty ocean stream. He had made one very successful cruise, and was returning from a second, the results of which are reported to have been not less interesting than those of the first, when overtaken by the storm of the seventh, and hurricane of the eighth, of September. All that nautical skill and intrepidity could do were tried to save his officers, crew, and vessel; and the very manœuvre which gave them safety rendered it impossible that he should recover the deck when swept from it. He had provided for the safety of the records of observation, even in the event of the loss of his vessel. Every generous spirit will seek to connect his name imperishably with the exploration of the Gulf Stream, which he died in attempting. Sept. 21. In the battle at Monterey, Brevet Major Philip N. Barbour, of the 3d Infantry. Major Barbour was a native of Kentucky, and graduated at West Point in 1834. He was breveted a captain for gallant services in Florida on the 15th of April, 1842, and a major from 9th May last for gallant conduct in the battle of Resaca de la Palma. He fell at Monterey in the thickest of the fight, whilst his regiment was subjected to a murderous fire
