We regret to state, that accounts have been received of

the death of..Octavius Temple, Esq. the Lieutenant-Governor of Sierra Leone.—.Daily Paper. Another victim to that horrid climate ! Felons are transported to Botany Bay, the most salubrious country, perhaps, on the face of the globe ; while some of the most estimable of their species annually transport themselves to perish in the horrid swamps of the African coast. We do not recollect that the author of England and America mentions the fact of men of education and talent being willing to take appointments in Sierra Leone, among his proofs of the " uneasy" state of the middle classes in England ; but be might have searched far and wide for a more convincing one. It would seem that Englishmen of a certain class will encounter almost inevitable death rather than sink a step below their pioper station in society, or to speak more correctly, before they will consent to lose any of the outward marks of that rank. Is this feeling estimable and praiseworthy, or does it not, on the contrary, rather partake of littleness of mind ?
