June 11. At Howden, Alex. Cleghorn, Esq. Inspector-General of Imports and Exports for Scotland, to Margaret, eldest daughter of Thomas Farquharson, Esq. of Howden.

DEATHS.

April 1. In Sloane Street, London, Capt. John Moir, of the 22d regiment.

20. At his house in Queen Anne Street, London, in the 45th year of his age, Colonel Mitchell, of the 51st regiment. This gallant officer served several campaigns in the Peninsula, under the Duke of Wellington, with great credit and distinction, and lastly at the memorable battle of Waterloo, where he commanded a brigade of infantry.

23. At Pittodrie, Mrs Grace Knight Erskine, the wife of Lieut.-Colonel Knight Erskine of Pittodrie.

31. In the 77th year of his age, much and justly regretted, Jas. Baird, Esq. of Broompark, formerly of Virginia.

May 2. At his own house, in St Vincent place, Glasgow, in the 50th year of his age, Alexander Campbell, Esq. of Stallyards, after a short but severe illness, which he sustained with Christian fortitude and resigna tion. This Gentleman affords us a pleasant specimen of the distinction and opulence with which the exercise of undeviating and persevering industry, fidelity, and integrity, in the ereditable pursuits of commerce is often crowned, even in this part of the united kingdom. Mr Campbell was born in Perthshire, from respectable parents, who were connected with some of the first families of his name. At an early pe. od of life he came to Glasgow, where he

was taken into business by one of his own relations. Here he recommended himself so much by his obliging deportment, by his fidelity, punctuality, and accuracy, that hẻ soon rendered himself necessary to his employers, and ultimately took the lead în oné of the most respectable West India concerns in the city. His mind seemed to expand with his circumstances, and his generous and liberal spirit is well known to a numerous circle of respectable friends and associates, as well as to the community at large. He was most ample and exemplary in his charities, and gave encouragement to all those institutions, so creditable to the place of his residence, which have for their object the general interests of humanity as well as the relief of individual distress. In particular, he took a warm interest and a fatherly charge of the Highland society, as well as of the Gaelic schools, and his memory will long live in the hearts of the members of these institutions. Although cut off, almost in the prime of life, he may be said to have lived long by the energy and activity he displayed in the improvement of his talents and opportunities; by the good which he has done; and by the happy effects which it is to be expected may still ensue from his useful labours and exertions. He has left an amiable wife, and a numerous family, with many interesting friends and relations, to lament his loss; and he will be long remembered in the society to which he belonged as an amiable and excellent man, and a most useful and active citizen.

6. At Killenure House, near Athlone, in Ireland, the Lady of Major Alex. Murray, Cringletie, sincerely lamented by all who' had the pleasure of her acquaintance; and of whose active benevolence the loss will be long and severely felt by the poor in her neighbourhood, whom she assisted in sickness and supported in health, and whose children she educated in a school instituted and maintained at her own expence.

8. At her father's house, Somerset Place, London, of a rapid consumption, in the 25th year of her age, Susan Boone, only daughter of John Deas Thomson, Esq. one of the Commissioners of his Majesty's navy.

-Suddenly, at Rozelle, James Crichton, Esq. factor to the Earl of Eglinton, and one of the Magistrates of Irvine.

9. At Longtown, James Walker, Esq. Principal Clerk of Session.

11. At Auldhouse, Peter Murdoch, Esq. aged 84.

26. In the 828 year of his age, Thos. Salt, Esq. of Lichfield, father of Henry Salt, Esq. his Majesty's Consul-General for Egypt.

June 4. At Brucefield-house, Clackman nanshire, Mrs Elizabeth Ann Johnston, wife of Lieut.-Col. Dalgleish of Dalbeath, and daughter of the late James Johnston, Esq. of Sands, aged 44, much and deserved. ly regretted.

6. Walter Robertson, Esq. manufacturer, Paisley.

At his house in Hart Street, Joha Thomson, Esq. royal navy.

7. At Arbroath, Mr David Braick, stu dent of divinity, in the 23d year of his age. Mr Braick's frame was always delicate, but he possessed a vigorous mind, and a lively imagination, with great modesty and suavity of manners. He prosecuted his theological studies with much diligence and success, and his inward piety corresponded with his attainments, in speculative know. ledge. His memory will long be held precious by those who had the pleasure of his acquaintance.
