He was a native of Scotland, and having gone thither in early life, soon rose to high consideration by his character and talents. For upwards of 20 years, he represented the county of Halifax in the colonial Legislature; and the New College of Pictou, erected on a liberal foundation, owes its institution, in a great measure, to his exertions and influence. Indeed, he took a lively interest in the public welfare of the colony-in all respects was exemplary in his manners, as well as in his attention to religious duties and, as he devoted the latter years of his life greatly to purposes of benevolence, he was greatly endeared to the inhabitants of Pictou, as well as respected by all ranks of people in the province.

-In Brook Street, London, the Hon. Frederick Sylvester North Douglas, only son of Lord Glenbervie, and Member of Parliament for the borough of Banbury. Indefatigable in his attention to public business, he brought to the consideration of every subject a clear, vigorous, and active understanding, a copious tund of information, the spirit and the tact of a man of business. He had devoted, at an early age, all his faculties to public life, and in the opinion of the most judicious among his contemporaries, he would have obtained the highest distinctions of Parliament and

of the State. As a classical and a general scholar, greatly accomplished in languages and in letters, few were his superiors; but it is for his friends alone to speak with justice of his social merits. Inheriting with the name the humour of Lord North, the characteristic humour of his family, which appeared to be rather the effusion of playful spirits and of social enjoyment, than the effort of wit, and being free from spleen or vanity, was incapable of inflicting painhe enlivened every society by his presence. A cheerful and agreeable companion, a warm and generous friend, a kind and affectionate son; nothing remained to make his private character more amiable, but that most endearing relation of all, which, with every prospect of happiness, he had undertaken only a few months before hsi lamented death.

[ocr errors]

At Edinburgh, Mrs Jean Home akas Buchan; she was the last of that family of Home, formerly of Kello, in Berwickshire. The family of Home of Kello was one of the branches of the Earl of Home's family, and was connected with many of the prin cipal nobility in North Britain, and enjoy. ed for many generations ample possessions; but, latterly, the keenest shafts of evil fortune were directed against it, until it was levelled with the dust. Its misfortunes may be said to have begun with John Home of Kello, who was an eminent Covenanter; and having been appointed one of the trustees for managing the affairs of Scotland by Oliver Cromwell. At the Restoration, he, and many others who continued true to what they conceived the principles of civil and religious liberty, were prosecuted for high treason, and had their estates forfeited. The Marquis of Argyle, and Lord Johnstone of Wareston, it is well known, lost their lives on the scaffold; Home, however, escaped, and at the Revolution in 1688, George, his son, had the greater part of the family property restored to him; he was Knighted by King William, and was elected 1.ord Provost of Edinburgh, at a time when it was still common for gentlemen of family to fill that office; he was succeeded by his son George, and he by his son David, who, having unfortunately killed a gentleman of the family of Invermay in a duel, he was obliged to fly his

native country, and his affairs went to utter ruin, injustice snatching away what folly and extravagance had left; and for two generations, five goodly sons perished mostly in foreign lands, in their endeavours to raise the fallen fortunes of their family. In 1796 Mrs Buchan lost her last surviving brother, Dr David Home, who died in Westmoreland, Jamaica. Two years previous to this she had been left a widow, with an only child, her husband having died on the same island shortly after her marriage. She was a person of an uncommonly mild and inoffensive disposition, and bore a long and painful illness with much patience and resignation.

24. At Dalmeny manse, Miss Elizabeth Morison, 23, Duke Street, Edinburgh, daughter of the late Mr James Morison, Muthil.

At the Baths of Tivoli, near Paris, in his 20th year, Sir Arthur Grey Hazlerigg, Bart. of Nosely Hall, Leicestershire.

30. At Florence, Wm. Mackenzie, Esq. of the island of St Vincent.

At Easter Causeyend, Mr Thomas Graham, farmer.

At Carfrae, in the 78th year of his age, Robert Hogarth, Esq. tenant there. This respectable gentleman was the first by whom the system of turnip husbandry was introduced into the higher districts of Berwickshire, from which such benefits have been since derived to that thriving part of Scotland. Mr Hogarth was a man of excellent understanding, of unspotted integrity, and of attainments very greatly superior to those which were generally characteristic of the class to which he belonged, at the period when he entered upon life. In the discharge of all the duties of society he might well be termed exemplary. Of those that belonged to him as a master, a neigh bour, and a friend, the general respect and sorrow of his vicinity afford the most unequivocal evidence. His surviving family have lost a head, and his exclusive circle of relations a member, of whom it may be truly said, that his death was the first and the only affliction he ever occasioned them.

At Edinburgh, in the 86th year of her age, Betty Cameron, a native of Lochaber, who has resided here for the last sixty years. This poor woman was one of a small class of people, perhaps more peculiar to Scotland than any other country, who never beg, yet never want, and who, without relatives, fortune, or certain income, are provided for as if they had all these. She was not a common pauper, but a humble visitor at friendly houses, and though seldom possessed at one time of more than the morrow required, was proverbially honest, and had a strict regard to truth. She never abused the goodness of the benevolent by waste or intemperance, and was to a severe degree exact in all religious observances. These qualities recommended her to the truly charitable; but she added to these a considerable share of strong instinctive sense, and an abundant store of information and anecdote concerning the principal families of Scotland, as well as of the young Chevalier, whom she had seen in her youth.-She talked with enthusiasm of the deeds of Highland valour, and preserved to the last all the prejudices of clanship. In her 85th year she danced a reel, and sung till lately, with great spirit, the pibrochs that were sounded at the "rising." When age at length brought her to her humble death-bed, she was not neglected. Her last hours, calm and confident under the influence of religion, were sweetened by the assurance that the same kind friends who ministered to her little wants on earth,

would see her worn-out frame carried home with the decent solemnities so prized and attended to in Scotland.

29. At Leith, Agnes Paterson, aged 31, spouse of Mr Robert Strong, jun. merchant, and only child of Mr John Paterson, civil engineer there.

Printed by George Ramsay and Company.
