UNKNOWN is with sentiments of the deepest commiseration that we have to communicate the melancholy death by drowning of the Hon. C. A.

The late Mr. Dillon havine, returned to the Nelson district was appointed Commissioner of Crown Lands in that quarter; and, whilst crossing the*river Waiian, was suddenly, and most unhappily, drowned. We furnish iho particulars of tin; sad calamity from the
pages of llic AH-on K.vumincr, merely olr serving that such was the filial love of Mr. Dillon's little son, ami such his despair at beholding his father so prematurely perish, that the affectionate child required lo lie restrained from precipitating himself into iho lor rent that had swept his parent from life.
