DIED

 

Sunday last, after a short illness, Mr. William PALMER, aged 76, many years an eminent ship-builder in this place: for the sake of imitation, it may not be improper to observe, that as he lived greatly respected, and acquired a considerable fortune with the fairest character, his death is sincerely regretted by a numerous acquaintance. Mr. PALMER may be said to have been the first ship-builder at this port, as that art, when he began business, was in its infancy here, and its present improved state may in a great measure be attributed to his application and ingenuity.
