The remains of Capt. Richard TUCKER, master of barque "Eliza S. Milligan" of this port, who died at sea near the west coast of Africa on 5th Sept., will be buried tomorrow from the residence of John SPROUL, pilot, corner of Germain and Queen Streets, Saint John. Prior to his death Capt. Tucker expressed a wish that his remains should be brought to St. John and buried with Masonic rites by Albion Lodge of which he has been a member for many years. Mrs. Tucker, who was with her husband, at the time of his death, brought the remains from St. Helena to NewBedford, Mass. on a whaling vessel, arriving there on New Years Day. She will arrive tonight with the body of her husband. The interment will be in the Rural Cemetery. Capt. Tucker's two sons, who are now residing in Boston, will accompany the remains to St. John.
