Thomas Mullett, I. I. Evans & Co. and who is now a respectable merchant in London. In order to account for this gentleman's having made me arquainted with the farts which 1 am about to dutail, it aeems-ne cessary, as you will no doubt give this letter publicity, that I here observe, that Messes. Thomas Mullett, I. 1. Evans & Co. were for many years one of the first and most distinguished American commis sion houses in'Londnn, and that the se nior partner, Mr. Thomas Mullett, waa warmly attached to the United States, in which, nt an early period, he resided fur several years. This circumstance and the seal which he always manifested tor the welfare and independence Of the Ameri can people, ns well as for the particular interests of his numerous correspondents, procured for him the regard, and brought tim acquainted with most of the American cititens who visited London, as well as with the successive ministers, charge d affaires, ami consuls of the United States, resident in London—among whom, was Mr. Jonathan Russell, and between whom and Mr. Thomas Mullett, to my personal knowictlge, there existed a very intimate and friendly acquaintance, from the au tumn of 1811, to the month of October, 1819, when Mr.'Russell embarked for Ihe. United States in a cartel, which sailed from Plymouth to New York. It may also bo proper tn state, that Mr. I. -I. Evans, a very enlightened and dia tinguiahed merchaut, and one nf the part nera of Mr. Thos. Mullett, died about the time of, or just previous to the dcclar ationnf war by the United States against Great Britain, in June 1812—and that Mr. Thomas Mullett, the senior partner, died in December, 18W, during the pen dency ol the negociations at Ghent, leay- ing to hts son, the junior and sole surviv -ing partner of his long established house, a large fortune, and probubly the most ex. tensive and valuable American business (particularly with New-York) at that time enjoyed by any commercial house in Lon don. Having known that respectable house for many years, and experienced from them many acts of kindness and hospi- tulity, it is painful for me to observe, and lUU more painful for mo to know, that Letter to the Editor of thr .dnfutta Chroricle.

Near ly two thousand persons from almost eve ry pat t ofthe State witnessed the Com mencement, at Franklin College; and were much edified by, and gratified with the excellent performances of the different classes of Students. It was a proud sight to see so many persons ofthe first respec tability, with ho inAch fashion and beauty collected together, to give eclat to this iu- teresting institution, and to cheer the effort* of the rising generation in literary fame. The disposition to please, and be pleased, seemed to bo entirely 1 mutual, between those who saw and those who acted; betweonthe Students and the au ditory ; and the expectations of neither party were disappointed; the one listened with admiration to the satisfactory exer cises of ihe other, stimulated to the great est exertion by the immense concourse of delighted spectators. Tfte citizens of Georgia may now gratulate themselves upon the prospect of having an institution equal tu any of the same kind in the U. States, and will be no longer under the necessity of sending their sons abroad for an education. It long slumbered in ob scurity, and seemed to be alm-mt past re covery ; but the trustees never despaired and to their perseverance and the benefi cent appropriations of the Legislature of 1821, is to be attributed the resuscitat ed and invigorated situation of Ihe Uni versity of Georgia, which will, it ia to he be hoped.be the seat ot science and liters ture, henceforth, and forever. Only nin&peranns graduated; but those who entered the senior clast were much more numerous. The new edifice is nowverecting, end will soon be ao completed as to stford the necessary accomodation to the continually increasing number of Students.

During a cruise of a few month* in the West Indies, she had lost 10 of her officers, 67 of her crew, and had then 50 laying ill with a violent ship-fever. Awars of the solicitude which this shocking in telligence would produce nmnng Ihe nu- relalives and friends of the officers, to learn who were the victims of this awful visitant, we lost no time in searching for the unwelcome particulars, which tho strict prohibition of intercourse with tho ship prevented our receiving until last evening. In the gloomy catalogue which we annex the list of friends of Ihe n»vy will recog nize the extinguishment of some of the brightest promises presented by our naval Register. Would they had fallen in 0* more glorious enuse. The frigate is new anchored in tho Bite nf Craney Island. Yesletday thq sick, which have increased to 57, were all removed from the ship to tbe Island, and the well were put ua board the Alert, which was towed down by the steam boat Norfolk, and anchored near the ship.
