note: ' ' " ^y^nJ^.J'.^ea Relation Taught Capt. Cook Sir,—I have been reading with much interest various references to Capt. Cook in The Sunday Province.

F ' Mrs. Elizabeth Cook, widow of the circumnavigator, Captain James Cook, was buried on Friday last in a vault in the Church of St. Andrew-the-Great, in this town. One of the children of Captain Cook died when a student of Christ's College, and a monument is erected in St. Andrew's Church to the memory of Captain Cook and other members of his family, two of whom perished at sea, and others died in infancy. Mrs. Cook, who survived her husband fifty- six years, has munificently left 10001. 3 per cents, to the parish of Great St. Andrew. —Cambridge Chronicle. Consols 90% to 91.
