WE are happy in being enabled, by the assistance of an eminent naval officer, to gratify our numerous renders with a farther account of the perils, and severe fatigue, which the experienced and unsubdued mind of Sir Erasmus Gower has undergone. We trust it may be of some service to those impatient and youthful spirits, who, on feeling the spartan discipline and hardihood and disappointments which attend a naval life, frequently become disgusted with the service; and unmindful of the loss of some of the best years of their life, and the wishes of their parents, desert the profession they had embraced, resolving to begin the world anew. Let those, who waver in this respect, peruse the following Addenda to the interesting Life of Admiral Sir Erasmus Gower.

It appears by the parish register kept in the church of Killgerran, South Wales, near which Sir Erasmus Gower was born, that he was the son of Abel Gower, Esq. of Glandoven, and Lettice his wife, born and baptised by the rector, Rees Evans, on the 3d of December, 1742.
