Be

great banking-house of Latouche & Co. Dublin, long celebrated in every part of the British empire for probity, honour, and solidity. So established was its character for wealth, that "as good as Latouche" was a familiar phrase in Ireland, when it was sought to convey an idea of superior solidity and sufficiency in pecuniary transactions; and all this wealth was associated with a spirit of liberality and humanity, that forbade envy, and conciliated universal respect and esteem.-2. At Drimmie Cottage, near Blairgowrie, William Chalmers, Esq. town clerk of Dundee, aged 75 years. sides holding other situations of trust, he has been principal clerk of the burgh of Dundee for 45 years, and keeper of the register of sasines and clerk of the peace for the county of Forfar, for many years past. -At Borrowstounness, Miss Mary Padon, aged 80 years.-At Port-Glasgow, a fortnight after he landed from the island of Tobago, Alexander Scott, Esq. much lamented by his family and friends.-3.

He was well known for the last fifty years in the counties of York and Lincoln, and universally respected. He was a man of great probity and patriotism, and no less eccentricity; and, till within a short time of his death, was scarcely ever known to have had a day's illness. He was at the taking of Belleisle, at which place he was severely wounded. It was his greatest pride, that all his sons had served their country, and nearly all his male relations; and, according to his own calculation, he had walked nearly twice round the globe.-9. At Williamfield, Mr David Wardrobe Chrystal, writer in Stirling, in the 26th year of his age. At Rose Park, Grace, eldest daughter of Professor Dunbar, aged four years.-10.

For the goodness of her heart and the benevolence of her nature she has ever been most eminently and deservedly distinguished.
