DIED.
At Botcherby, on the 4th inst., Mr. Robt. BOWMAN, one of the Society of Friends, aged 65, much respected.
On Monday last, aged 41, in child-birth, Elizabeth, the wife of Joseph SAUL, of Greenrow, Esq. Seldom indeed does it fall to our lot to record a death in private life so widely felt or so deeply regretted. Suddenly snatched from the bosom of a large and most affectionate family, whose loss, alas! the world cannot repair, Mrs. S. has left a wide circle of mourning friends, who, with those pupils of her most respectable husband in all parts of the world, will remember with a melancholy pleasure her affectionate simplicity, her invincible good humour, and her unwearied benevolence. She is gone, "and her works have followed her."
Since our last, Mr. Archibald BECK, of Rickergate, aged 55. Elizabeth GIBSON, of Botchergate, aged 79.
At Penrith, on Saturday last, Mr. Thomas EALAND, tailor, aged 36.
On the 7th inst. at Allonby, aged 71 years, the Rev. John COWEN, Vicar of Gilcrux and Minister of the Chapel at Allonby.
At Whitehaven, Mrs. Barbara BIRKHEAD, a maiden lady, at the advanced age of 81. Mrs. B. filled the situation of post-mistress in the town for many years.
Monday, at Galemire, near Whitehaven, Mr. Jos. BARNES, in his 84th year.
At Seaton, aged 21, Mr. William BOWMAN, a member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, &c. He was prematurely snatched away by a consumption, induced by a too close application to medical studies.
On Sunday last, at Eden Place, near Kirkby-Stephen, W. ORTON, Esq., aged 70.
At Kirkby Lonsdale, Mr. James FAWCETT, woolcomber, advanced in years. According to his own request, and the ancient custom of the trade, his corpse was wound in combed wool of different colours, sprinkled with flowers.
At Heysham, near Lancaster, in his 30th year, the Rev. Thos. CLARKSON, Rector of that parish, and a magistrate of Lancashire.
At Dumfries, in his 67th year, Mr. Thos. ANDERSON.
At Longlands, near Annan, Mrs. A. BELL, aged 84.
At Kirkpatrick Fleming, on the 8th inst., Mr. Alexander PORTEUS, school-master of that parish, in the 30th year of his age. A few months ago Mr. PORTEUS was licensed by the Presbytery of Annan to preach the Gospel, and gave the fairest prospects of becoming one of the brightest ornaments of the Scottish Church. It is remarkable that the last discourse delivered by Mr. PORTEUS was preached at Dornock Church, on the last Sabbath in May, from the 23d verse of the 1st chapter of Paul to the Philippians—"Having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better."
At Edinburgh, Alexander WYLIE, Esq. M. D., 70.
At his house at Margate, on Sunday evening last, Robert Edward HUNTER, M. D., and F. L. S.
June 4, at the Parsonage, East Horseley, Surrey, aged 70, the Rev. John OWEN, M. A. Rector of East Horseley, and of St. Bennet's Paul's Wharf, London, Archdeacon of Richmond, Yorkshire, and Chaplain-General to his Majesty's forces.
At Cheltenham, Mrs. POOL, at the extraordinary age of 110 years. She retained her faculties to the last moment, and was confined to her room but a few days.
At Dublin, Mr. SHECKLETON, Demonstrator of Anatomy to the Royal College of Surgeons. On Monday, whilst engaged in delivering a lecture, raising a knife at the same time, he slightly cut his finger, which was thus inoculated with virulent matter from the subject upon which he lectured. Inflammation suddenly came on, and, after every remedy was tried in vain, he expired on Friday morning.
May 19, at Leaf-square Academy, Manchester, aged 15, Drinave, one of the five Madagascar youths brought over to England a few years back, for the purpose of being taught the principles of the Christian religion, as well as some useful branch of trade, with an intention of returning to their native country to communicate their acquired knowledge. His remains were interred at New Windsor, the pall being supported by the four remaining Madagascar youths, and the whole of the students of the academy joining in the funeral procession, with black crape and white favours on their arms.
