At Portsmouth, Lady Carter, the respected widow and the amiable counterpart of Sir John Carter, an account of whom was given at page 566, of our 25th volume. The sweetness of her temper, the cheerfulness of her disposition, and the urbanity of her deportment, rendered her the object of regard and esteem to those who enjoyed opportunities of associating with her. She was ever alive to the genuine feelings of friendship; hence, her friends uniformly received from her the most assiduous and delicate attentions: and, by anticipating the wisics of those around her, she could not fail to please and delight, and to endear herself to them. She studied more the comforts of others than her own: self was with her, on all occasions, a secondary consideration. Perfectly guileless in her own mind, she naturally received all who ap. proached her with affability, frankness, and benevolence. "So pure, so good, she scarce could guess at sin, "But thought the world without like that within." Calummy and slander were utter strangers to her breast; and scandal shunned her society for she was constantly ready to defend the absent; and to offer every possible excuse in extenuation of the conduct of others, when brought under the lash of censure, even though they were not her inmediate friends. If censure ever escaped her lips, it must have been most deservedly due indeed. To her domestics, she was kind and humane; and when necessary their friend. In the varied character of daughter, sister, wife, and mother, she was a pattern of excellence. A constant and zealous friend of the poor and necessitous. Her acts of kindness and charity were known but to few, except those who were the frequent objects of them. A case of real distress would instinctively direct her hand to her purse. Her virtues were all of the true Christian stamp; mild and unassuming, candid and friendly, benevolent and attrac tive: for her religion was that of Christ, the religion of the heart; pure and simple, unfeigned and unostentations. She was the partisan of no sect, established or tolerated; but the friend of the virtuous and the good, of every persuasion: she looked more to the character, than to the religions opinions of her friends. She died, as she lived, in peace with God and man. WILTSHIRE. Married.] At Westbury, the Rev. D. G, Wait, to Miss Priscilla Morgan, of Bristol. At Mere, Mr. Charles Barnes, to Miss Hannah Jukes.

SCOTLAND. Married.] Francis Jeffery, esq. of Edinburgh, to Miss Wilkes, daughter of Chas. W. esq. of New York. Died.] At Violet Bank, Dumfries, 75, John Johnstone, esq. At Terraughtie, 110, James Black, retaining his distinct hearing to the last, and within a few weeks of his death, with his spectacles, reading his small print Bibic. He lately got an entire new set of teeth. At Edinburgh, 75, Donald Smith, esq. banker, and formerly lordprovost of that city. At Paisley, Mr. William M'Farlane, student in divinity. He was the son of Daniel McFarlane, distiller, of Paisley, and was born 14th February, 1794. After two years' attendance on an English teacher, he entered the grammar school of Paisley, and under the able instructions of that emiment teacher Mr. John Peddie, made great anli rapid classical acquirements; for he was pronounced fully qualified to be sent to the university a year sooner than usual. Even at this period he discovered a maturity of judgment beyond his years. The approbation bestowed by the various professors, and the uniform eminence which he attained, in the studies to which his attention was directed, proved that he was not prematurely hurried to that seminary. He continued to prosecute his studies in Glasgow, for six sessions, devoting that period to the classics, polite literature, mathematics, and astronomy. His diligence was unremitting, having never been a day absent, from the time of his entering the grammar school; and he engaged in no study without acquiring a competent knowledge of it before he desisted from the pursuit. The usual amusements of youth did not attract his notice, or employ his time, for he would be seen walking thoughtfully along, while those of his years were busily engaged in play; and, as he cultivated the intimacy of but few, his time was not spent, or lost, by the interruption of the frivolous or the vain. The practice of calling forth exertion, and rewarding merit by an annual exhibition of prizes, laudably obtains in the University of Glasgow; and to him who considers the necessity of stimulating the human mind by hopes, and bearing it forward to honourable distinction, this regulation of that learned body will appear peculiarly salutary. The love of praise, or desire of superiority, excited the subject of this memoir to put forth his energy. He obtained in each class, the first prize given for general merit, and of such prizes as were allotted for the best essays he gained one or two yearly, so that he regularly carried home, at the end of the session, two or more of these pledges of success. The merits of some of his performances procured the warmest commendation; and, on some oc- way way of making attainments in the most elegant pursuits, so little regard is paid to the preservation of health, without which no pleasure can be relished, and all accomplishments are vain. Our feelings inculcate the necessity of attending to comfortable clothing, but these feelings are unheeded, or if they excite a momentary notice, obtain not due attention. It is tirought effeminate to have recourse to a greater lead of dress, to ward off the evil. The inconveniency is therefore submitted to, and hence the calamity from consumptive complaints, which spread so extensively in this island, strip so many families of their fairest hopes, their promised supports, envolving them in tears and vain regrets. IRELAND. Mr. Magee, late printer of the Dublin Evening Post, has had another verdict against him for a libel, viz. for publishing the Kilkenny Catholic Resolutions, which the chairman of the meeting, Capt. Bryan, had not the courage to avow. Mr. Magee is, in consequence, sentenced to pay a fine of 1000l. to be imprisoned for six months, to commence from the expiration of his former sentence, and to give security to keep the peace, himself in 1000l. and two sureties for 5001. each. DEATHS ABROAD. At Paris, 94, the celebrated Bernardin St. Pierre, keeper of the botanic garden, author of the Studies of Nature, and other works. In the West Indies, on board the Ram, one of Admiral Sir Francis Laforey's dispatch schooners, Mr. Edward Kennedy, aged 24, youngest son of the late Mr. John K. formerly of Highbury-place, latterly of Bunhill row. He had passed for lieutenant, and was on the eve of promotion, when, having volunteered to serve on board the above vessel, he perished with her in the dreadful hurricane of the 23d of August last. Excellence in exalted rank is seldom suffered to depart without some public testimony of regret, some tribute of admiration and respect, nor should merit, established and acknowledged in any station, pass unnoticed, because untimely checked in its career, and fatally arrested in its progress to that fame which seemed insured to its continuance. The subject of this memoir entered at an early age into the service of his country, and up to the time of his loss was constantly and actively engaged in it; an enterprising spirit and a heedless intrepidity frequently subjected him to dangers, from some of which he but miraculously escaped: he was, on one occasion, so fortunately and directly indebted to the humane attention and indefatigable perseverance of strangers, that mention of it cannot be omitted. In 1807, while on board the Bellette sloop, a Prussian messenger was proceeding in her to this country with dispatches of importance; 191 approaching the Suffolk coast, the weather, which had for some time been tempestuous, become so much more so, that it was not thought prudent to attempt landing; the messenger, however, appeared so anxious to be put on shore, and so strongly represented the consequences of delay, that Mr. Kennedy volunteered, with six men, to put off with him. Nearing the shore the storm increased, and a tremendous sea having borne away the rudder of the boat and left her quite unmanageable, in another. moment washed every one overboard. Mr. Kennedy, being an excellent swimmer, struggled until his strength was exhausted, when he sunk; as soon as the weather had calmed a little, boats went out, and he was accidentally brought up with a boat hook, but without the least appearance of animation; being conveyed on shore, he was left on the beach while 'search was making for the others, so completely in vain did they consider any attempts to restore him. Mrs. Lacey, a lady residing at South-Wold, having seen the accident from a distance, repaired to the spot, and directed him to be instantly taken to her house; the usual means were immediately employed, the lady and her family using their utmost personal exertions till professional assistance was procured. No hope was even then given, and it must have been something little short of an almost inspired persuasion of success that under such discouragement prompted them to increased efforts; they were continued, and at length symptoms of returning life were shewn; with transport they were witnessed and encouraged till perfect restoration was effected. The satisfaction of that moment, and the sensations of the breast that had thus accomplished the object of its Christian-like solicitude, may, or rather cannot be imagined. Mr. Kennedy and one sailor were all that were saved. He soon afterwards left the Bellette and in the very next Cruize she foundered in the North Seas, and all were lost. Preserved in one instancefrom a premature fate, and avoiding it in another, it still, alas, too certainly awaited him, and that, where the firm mind and friendly hand could nothing have availed, contending with the overwhelming horrors of the hurricane. His excellence as a sailor is attested by his admiral in the account he transmitted to his family of his unfortunate and distressing end. His endearing qualities as a brother, and his intrinsic virtues as a son, are impressed on the recollection of those towards whese happiness il.ey were unremittingly exerted. While his surviving relatives are yet fondly and frequently reverting to past events, and in the active exercise of their memories are retracing occurrences that almost recall him to their circle, they will, in all of those connected with his professional life, meet some consoling record of his merit.
