The Remains of the late James Wait ( -- alias White -- ) were this morning, at 8, oclock, committed to the Deep, in all one form; the ships company being all present, and Capt. Raine have read the Funeral Service on the melancholy occasion.
An inventory was afterwards [word missing ] by Capt. Raine, in my presence and in that of all the officers of the ship, of all the Effects of the deceased -- consisting only of a few Necessaries; the whole being locked up again in his own Chest, which was also sealed with a List of its Contents; Capt. Raine retaining a counterpart thereof -- to be forwarded to the wife of the deceased.

We were this day at noon in Latd. 1. ° 17' South; -- so that we have every reason to hope we shall cross the Line tomorrow morning.
