We regret to record the death of Mr. Robertson, master of the Gypsy, schooner, trading to Moreton Bay. The vessel left this on Monday week, with a strong southerly wind, and at eleven o'clock on the same night, Mr. Robertson being at the tiller, one of the ropes gave way throwing him overboard, where he met with a watery grave.
