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 forty-five years, in various parts of India, spent in constant and unwearied devotion to his duty -never, even in sickness, having enjoyed the indulgence of one day's furlough, leave, or 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.

The Grand Vizier, the Ministers, and the Dignitaries of the Porte, accompanied the funeral procession. The event is matter of great affliction to the Grand Seignior, who was most tenderly attached to his mother. She had never exercised the least influence in state affairs. All her property, the annual income of which amounts to a million of piastres, devolves on the Grand Seignior. The Sultana was a Creole, born at Martinique, of respectable parents. On her voyage to France, for the purposes of education, the merchant vessel,

on board of which she was a passenger, was captured by an Algerine Corsair, and she became a slave at Algiers. The French Consul offered to ransom her; but she refused her consent, in consequence of an old Negress having predicted to her that she would become one of the greatest princesses in the world; and notwithstanding all the entreaties of her relations, she persisted in abandoning herself to her fate.

NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.

WE hope soon to be able to present our readers with a regular monthly account of every thing connected with the Acted Drama in London, by a Gentleman who has already proved himself a master in dramatic criticism.

In an early Number a short Account of the Life and Writings of WILLIAM RUSSELL, LL.D. Author of the History of Modern Europe, &c. by DR IRVING.

Probably in our next Remarks on Dr Drake's Shakspeare.

We shall, in an early Number, delight our readers with an account of "The remarkable Discoveries" of SIR GEORGE STEWART MACKENZIE, Baronet, F.R.S. P.F.H. C.L.R.S.E. F.S.A. in the fields of association hitherto so imperfectly explored by Aristotle, Longinus, Thomas Aquinas, Hume, Alison, and Jeffrey. His adventures must possess a nameless interest to all who remember the irresistible emotions produced in our Theatre by the representation of Sir George's GREAT DRAMATIC WORK-HELGA.

We still object to some personal remarks in P. K.'s Critique on Mr West's picture of "Death on the Pale Horse."

In our next an account of Captain Scoresby's Observations on the Polar Ice.
In our next "The Life of Sir Thomas Craig," part I.

We return W. our best thanks for his learned and amusing Paper on Mermaids, and other extraordinary Sea-animals. We hope to insert it in our February Number.

T.'s translation from the German of Stolberg, will appear in our next Number.

If Viator will transmit us his Manuscript through the hands of any Gentleman in Edinburgh or Glasgow, it shall either be inserted in an early Number or returned to him through the same channel.

A Clydesman writes very sensibly. The preceding Notice will perhaps remove any scruples he entertains on the point alluded to în his letter from Rothesay.

The Opinion of a late celebrated Judge on the Marriage Law of Scotland is received and approved of.

We have some doubts of the originality of A. D.'s Poem, will he favour us with more positive assurance of it?

Our readers will receive with this the eight pages promised in our last Number, which the Binder will insert in No VII. The Binder is requested to cancel pp. 205 and 206 of last Number.
