DEATH OF CAPTAIN BASIL HALL.-We regret that we have to announce the death of this gallant officer, which took place on Wednesday week at Haslar Hospital, after a protracted illness, in the 56th year of his age. Captain Basil HALL was not only distinguished in the service as an able, enterprising, and meritorious officer, who had the entire good of his profession at heart, and who lost no opportunity of forwarding its improvement in every way that his inquiring and discerning mind enabled him to do, but he was also known in the world of literature, of which he formed a distinguished ornament. In his early life, in the command of a small vessel in an unknown sea, he rendered conspicuously interesting a dreary voyage to the north part of China, and the coast of Coreo, by the publication of a lively, intelligent, and scientific account of a new people inhabiting the Loo Choo Islands. Since then his industrious and active powers have never allowed him to visit a scene without recording its novelties, peculiarities, and politics; and we have thus before the world his opinion and description of both South and North America. His various nautical tales, told under the name of fragments, of which several series have been published, prove the playfulness of his mind, and the extent of his observations.
