sence, observing that, as they had been the ruin of him, he would prevent them injuring any one hereafter. At Massulipatam, in the house of James O. Tod, Esq. Judge and Chief Magistrate there, on the 5th November 1818, Lieutenant Alexander D. Coull, of the Madras artillery, son of James Coull, Esq. of Ashgrove, in the county of Moray. This young gentleman, cut off in his twenty-seventh year, particularly distinguished himself at the storming of Nagpore, where he received a gunshot wound in the neck, which proved the occasion of his death. He was much esteemed and beloved by his brother officers, who have erected a monument to his memory in the chapel ground at Massulipatam, where his body was interred with military honours. At Hastings, Colonel Herries. This gentleman has commanded the light horse volunteers near forty years. At Peckham, Mrs Blackwood, relict of Shovel Blackwood, Esq. of Petreavie. At St Bernard's, Jamima, fourth daughter of Mr Archd. Lundie, writer to the sig net. At London, after a long and painful illness, Edith, wife of Francis Law of Lauriston, Esq. in the county of Mid-Lothian. At the great age of 106 years, Duncan Macrae, in Bogbain, near Inverness. His brother Alexander died in the same place, several years ago, at nearly the same age. At Weymouth, aged 82, Robert Bayard, Esq. of Bath. He is supposed to be the last surviving officer who fought under the command of the brave General Wolf, at the battle of Quebec, in the year 1759, and was near him when he fell. In the neighbourhood of Luss, Archibald Glen, labourer, aged upwards of 90. His father, Janies Glen, commonly called the "Glasgan," and John (Bearnack) Colquhoun, two notorious characters, belonged to a party of twelve men raised by the Laird of Luss, in aid of the persecution, and served under the bloody "M'Aulay,' of Ardincaple, in that unhappy period of bigotry and oppression. At Vienna, after a severe illness, in the 41st year of his age, Prince M. de Lichtenstein, Field Marshal and LieutenantGeneral in the service of Austria. Cæsar Colclough Armett, Esq. Major in his Majesty's 35th regiment of foot, and a Lieutenant-Colonel in the army. He accompanied his regiment, in which he served upwards of twenty years, to Egypt, Sicily, France, and the Greek islands, where he remained a considerable time, and was present at several engagements with that distinguished corps. His regiment being under orders for Canada, he, with his wife and four children, embarked on board the packet from Bristol to Cork, which unhappily foundered in a gale of wind, and thus, at the early age of 36 years, his country is deprived of a brave soldier, and society of six respected and amiable individuals. Lieutenant-Colonel David Roberts, formerly of the 'life guards, but last of the 51st regiment of infantry, in his 63d year, at Havre-de Grace, in Normandy, whither he had retired in the hope of recruiting his health, shattered as was his frame by a long life of the severest military duty in various parts of the world, and by the many and dangerous hurts he had received in actual service. At Lugo, while under the command of Sir John Moore, Colonel Roberts, then acting as Brigade-Major to General Leith, was wounded in the right hand, which it was found necessary to have amputated. On his recovery, he trod the path of glory under the Duke of Welling. ton, and was present at most of the serious affairs in the Peninsula. At the battle of Bidassoa he was unfortunately struck in the back with a musket-bullet, which, lodg ing beneath the shoulder-blade, remained unextracted to the hour of his death.. At Arkleton, near Langholm, after an illness of three weeks, John Jardine, Esq. The partiality of surviving friends often tempts them to exaggerate the merits of the departed, but in the present instance there is no room; Mr Jardine was a man of the most amiable disposition; faithful, sincere, and honourable in his dealings, disinterested in his views, and open in his conduct; with feelings particularly alive to the misfortunes of his fellow creatures, be was always ready, as far as lay in his power, to alleviate the sufferings of the distressed. His loss will be long and sincerely regretted by a numerous circle of friends and acquaintances, and will be particularly felt by the poor in his own immediate neighbourhood, in whose hearts his many private charities, and the exercise of those virtues which constitute the character of a truly good man, has served to raise and establish a fair and lasting monument to his memory, which will never be forgotten. At Edinburgh, in the 65th year of his age, Dr Inglis, formerly minister of Kirkmabreck, At St John's Lodge, Herts, General Sir Cornclius Cuyler, Bart. Governor of Kinsale, and Colonel of the 69th regiment of foot. At Holmwood, near Henley, aged 17. Ensign Kerr, 35th foot, eldest son of Lord Mark Kerr. At Jamaica, Mr William Grant, third son of the Rev. William Grant, Sanday, Orkney. Lost, on his voyage home from Quebec, Captain Arch. Moore of Seabank, Rothesay. From some linens that were washed on shore, having his name marked on them, it is understood his ship was wrecked in the river St Lawrence, and that all on board perished. f GENERAL INDEX.
