herself, she fell backwards into the area, never to rise again.

21. At Paisley, after a very short illness, the Rev. Charles Stuart, pastor of the Ronan Catholic Congregation. His premature death, at the early age of 25, was the effect of typhus fever, caught, to appearance, by contagious infection and subsequent laborious attendance on some of his flock suffering under that disease.

22. At Paisley, Miss Ann Paterson of Craigton, aged 97.

24. At his house in George Square, Edinburgh, Sir Patrick Inglis, Bart.

[ocr errors]

At Hutchesontown, aged 84, Mr James Bryce, late merchant in Glasgow.

26. At Eyemouth, William Dewar, Esq. formerly captain in the artillery service of the Nabob of Arcot, in the 77th year of his age, much respected.

30. At Jedburgh, James Potts, Esq. late Sheriff-clerk of Roxburghshire, in the 79th year of his age.

Lately, at his house in Fife, Admiral Duddingston.

At Benares, in the East Indies, Claude Russell, Esq. of the Honourable East India Company's service.

At Ballynure, Ireland, near Clones, Michael Pendar, at the advanced age of 107. He had been a pensioner for 72 years.

At Manchester, at the age of 70 years, Mrs Maclellan, formerly Miss Mary Mac ghie, daughter of the late Mr Macghie of Airds, and the celebrated heroine of the popular ballad of Mary's Dream."

[ocr errors]

At his house, Harsendam, Herts, MajorGeneral Hadden of the Royal Artillery.

In Wimpole Street, London, Mrs Farquharson, aged 83.

At Whittlebury, Northamptonshire, in his 73d year, the Rev. Henry Beauclerk, only son of the late Lord Henry Beauclerk.

At Dublin, Mrs Blackford, granddaughter of the Earl of Darnley.

In the Scotch College, Paris, deservedly lamented, the Rev. John Farquharson, Superior. He was long Principal or Head of the Scotch College at Douay, in Flanders, which he was forced to abandon at the period of the Revolution, and went to Glasgow, where he remained many years, officiating as Catholic clergyman, and was much esteemed for his modesty and humility, and as an honest man.

At an advanced period of life, Mr George Kidd, farmer in Crocketford, parish of

Urr, an industrious and worthy man. During the greater part of his life he was a zealous disciple of Mrs Buchan, the enthusiastic pretender to a divine mission, who, towards the close of the last century, flourished in the vicinity of Closeburn.

At Paris, the Countess Dillon, relict of the Hon. General Arthur Dillon, brother to the late Viscount Dillon. This lady was first married to the Comte de la Touche, by whom she had one son, and a daughter married to the Duke of Fitz-James. By the late Hon. Arthur Dillon she has left one daughter, married to General Bertrand.

At St Maude, near Paris, aged 11 years, Lord Boringdon, eldest son of the Earl of Morley. A stalk of rye, which he had inadvertently swallowed the latter end of July, was the cause of his sufferings. It was found, after his death, three inches in length, in its original state, lodged in the intestines.

At Cawnpore, in the 65th year of his age, Major-General Sir John Horsford, K. C. B. commanding first division field army, and Colonel of the 3d battalion of artillery. The State has in him lost a most able and upright servant, the army one of its most distinguished officers, and the Honourable Order of the Bath a member worthy of its distinction. He served nearly thirty-nine years with his regiment as an officer, and was much employed on field service during the eight years he commanded the Bengal artillery; his attention to its interests was chiefly exemplified in improving the situation of the soldier, European and Native, in all the several branches of that extensive and widely dispersed corps. After a service of fortyfive years, in various parts of India, spent in constant and unwearied devotion to his duty-never even in sickness having en joyed the indulgence of one day's furlough, or leave of absence from his professional labours-this eminent officer, whose sound constitution, hardened by temperance, had long contended with an extraordinary complication of disease, ended a long life of useful services shortly after his return from field service at Hattras. A man of stern principle, sound judgment, extensive knowledge, and independent spirit, his memory will be respected by all who knew him, and his loss long regretted by those who were his selected friends.
