The New York Columbian remarks. 'As often as we have had occasion to notice the genuine bravery of the gentlemen of our navy, yet it gives us equal satisfaction to record the attendant virtue of generosity among them; for it is an established fact, that bravery and generosity are inseparable companions—We have been led to this remark from a knowledge of the fact, that the officers attached to the American squadron in the Mediterranean, subscribed the sum of $3,000 to erect a marble monument over the remains of Captain Thomas Gamble, commander of the United States sloop of war Erie, who died at Pisa, in October last.'
