Maitland Mercury… Saturday 21 June 1845

 IN 1845,

Preservative Powers of Guano.-Captain Withers, of the ship Colchester, brought home with him from Ichaboe the skeleton of a Portuguese sailor, buried there in 1791. Every part of it was in a a state of perfect preservation. The empty hammock and linen found with it were perfectly sound and strong, whilst the wool and flannel about it crumbled to pieces at the touch.

The Maitland Mercury… Saturday 23 September 1848, page 3

Connexions of France and Ireland.-The Count de Montalembert, in his letter to Mr. J.O’Connell, talks of the ancient connexions between France and Ireland. These are stronger
than the English people understand. From 1691 to 1791 fifteen thousand Irish were constantly in the French service.
