THE COLLECTOR.
The felucca Kingston, in which Brown went off, was taken by vessel No. 65, (commanded by Mr. William Carter) a few hours after she had landed Brown at Montego Bay.-- Mr. Carter put a prize master on board and sent her for this place-she is now at English Turn. Watson the captain, was taken on board 65, and promised to conduct Mr. Carter to the spot where he landed Brown and his money, and there is little doubt we shall see him here in a few days.
