DIED on the 23rd March, Mrs. Ann HOWARD, wife of the late Mr. Wm. HOWARD. Aged 70 years and 4 months.

It is our painful duty to have to record this week the death, by drowning, of Mr. Howard LLOYD, son of our Magistrate, who had gone in command of the Port Elizabeth Volunteers for the Frontier Service. It seems that on arriving at the banks of the Fish River, near the mouth, the boat which is in use there was not on this side, and that Mr. LLOYD, in a kind of infatuated eagerness to cross, had determined to swim the river on horseback, although running out very strong at the time with the receding tide. His brother, Mr. Lennox LLOYD, who had accompanied him, begged him not to attempt the enterprise, but he would not be dissuaded, and before his brother, who is a good swimmer, was able to strip, he had entered the river. He had not advanced far, however, when the horse either by his plunging or by the tossing of his head had thrust him from the saddle, and after little effort he sank never again to rise in life. Parties were employed the whole day on Sunday in search of the body, but without success. It is supposed that the strong current which was running at the time had carried it some considerable distance from the place where the accident occurred.
To his intimate friends, Mr. Howard LLOYD greatly commended himself by many excellences of disposition and character; and by those who did not enjoy his intimacy, he was always admired for his exemplary correctness of conduct. His sudden death has therefore caused a great sensation in the place. With his bereaved parents and family the whole community deeply sympathise.
