The steamer on which he sailed arrived off the coast of Chagres, on the Isthmus of Panama in the evening of January 21, and some of the passengers attempted to land, in a rough sea, among them was Mr. Haight, who was drowned by the swamping of the boat in which he embarked. He was in his 25th year, and was unmarried.
