most laborious research into the real meaning of many difficult passages of the ancient Hebrew, and to extensive correspondence with literary men when doubts occurred. His labours in this good work are well known to the public, and particularly to the Church of Scotland, of which,

for more than forty-six years, he was an ornament and a conscientious minister, and will long remain embalmed in the memories of the virtuous and the good. In private life, he was a pattern of meekness, hospitality, and kindness.

July 3. At Thorny flat, Major Dugald Campbell, late of the 92d regiment, or Gordon Highlanders. Major Campbell was born at Fort William in the year 1771. His parents had a few free houses in that village, and lived there much respected by all who knew them. His mother, we believe, is still in existence. His father was Cean-Tighe, or head or a small branch of the Campbells, who, separating themselves, from some cause or other, from the present tree, settled in Brae Lochaber, under the protection of Keppoch, a Macdonald Chief, in the 13th or 15th century. To this chief they proved constant and faithful allies, and united themselves on all emer. gencies. Hence, they often fought under his banner in favour of the Stuart family, and were present, headed by the Major's grandfather, at the battle of Culloden. How his father could think of binding him an apprentice to a blacksmith we know not, but that, or indeed any such profession, was but ill suited to the disposition of one who inherited, in no ordinary degree, all the pride, spirit, and warlike qualities of his ancestors. He had not, however, been long at this ill chosen profession, when a prospect opened to his view more congenial to his feelings, and better suited to his endowments; for the Duke of Gordon having determined to raise a regiment, composed of the sons of his own tenants, for his son, the Marquis of Huntly, the influence of that family had been very deservedly such as induced that class of people to consider it a privilege to be thus admitted into their favour; it being understood that their friends at home would, in consideration of his favour, meet with every protection and kindness-that many among them should receive promotion-and that the rest (the emergency of the time being over) would be allowed to return to the bosom of their families, entitled to a preference in lands, &c. in their native place. Campbell being amazingly handsome and manly looking, and withal possessing a dignity of deportment, and buoyancy of spirit, well calculated to place his figure in the most showy light, became, as might have been expected, an immediate object of attraction. His appearance, spirit, and conduct, continuing to recommend him to his colonel, the Marquis of Huntly, he soon received his ensigncy, and has ever since been considered among the best officers in the army. With the 92d regiment he served successively in all their campaigns, under his Royal Highness the Duke of York, Generals Abercromby, Moore, and Wellington; and that, too, with no ordinary reputation.

Lately. On board the Duke of Kent packet, on his passage from Lisbon to Falmouth, the Right Hon. Lord Clifford.

At Highbury Place, London, aged 69, James Stuart, Esq.

Lieut. Andrew Smith Shortt, of the 11th regiment, native infantry, aged 20 years, son of Francis Shortt, Esq. of Courance, who fell while gallantly asserting the rights, not only of his country, but of humanity itself, against a body of Arabian pirates, near Laskerrie, at the entrance of the Persian Gulf.

About 12 months before her death she got a number of new teeth, apparently as fresh as those of a child, and, although at one period of her life she was obliged to wear glasses, yet for 10 years previous to her death she could read very small print without them.
