Previous to his departure for the West Indies, Mr. Jerdan, seconding the ardent wish of his father for its success, performed the functions of Secretary for the Abbotsford Subscription; and acquitted himself in so zealous and excellent a manner as to receive the grateful acknowledgments and warm approbation of the Committee.

John Stuart Jerdan, whose remains lie at the Cape of Good Hope.
