Obituary.

from St . Domingo , where he had distinguished himself as Deputy Adjutant-General to the Forces . —He fell a victim to that dreadful fever , by which , owing to the unfortunate and calamitous project of the West Indian expedition , England has been deprived of thousands of excellent officers ! ' It would be difficult

to do strict justice to this most amiable young man , and no words can better be applied to his disposition , than -those of a noble historian , in delineating a character of former times : — ' He was a young man of so virtuous a habit of mind , that no temptation or provocation would corrupt him : so great a lover of

justice and integrity , that no exam pie , necessity , or even the barbarity of war , could make him swerve from the most precise rules of it ; and of that rare piety and devotion , that the country or the camp could not shew a more faultless person , or to ivhose example young men - . night more reasonably conform

themselves . ' His countenance and manners were particularly intr resting , from indicating the goodness and gentleness of his mind ; with the greatest diffidence of himself , he constantly shewed a cultivated understanding , polished and improved by

a knowledge of the world . His loss can never be too much , or too long felt , by those who bad tbe happiness of his friendship ; though no consolation can be so gratifying , as that it pleased Ihe Almighty and ever benevolent Power to take one with so pure a spirit , and so justly prepared to meet the rewards of heaven , from this world of trouble ,

into that ot eternal ohss . Lately , ? . ! r . Hodges , the well-known Landscape Painter ; an artist whose merit should not be suffered to' pass into the grave , without the tribute of respect . In his art , if he did not rise to the summit o ! " Landscape-painting , there were in general strength ,

correctness , and taste , in his productions . His Paintings and Drawings of Asiatic Scenery are deservedly admired . With a modesty that always characterizes worth and genius , he retired from the prosecution of his art , conceiving that his plnce would be filled by men of greater merit . lie had therefore , with the

profits of his labours in the East , taken a share in a Provincial Bank , which , ivith his attention , bis integrity , and the many friends his virtues and talents

had procured him , would probably have proved a prosperous undertaking . —His personal maimers were easy , affable , and communicative ; and ail he said was marked by good _ ense , truth , and simplicity . He has left to regret his loss a numerous train of friends , and a widow , who is one of the most amiable and

accomplished women in the kingdom , though the delicacy of Iter mind has chiefly confined the reputation of her merit and abilities within the sphere of domestic intercourse and enjoyment . April 3 , After a lingering illness , . Mr . Hall , Engraver to his Majesty , sincerely regretted by a large circle of

friends for his many good qualities , and by every admirer of the arts for his great genius and merit in his profession . Lately , John Totvnson , Esq . many ¦ years Director of the East India Company , and twice returned to Parliament for the Borough of Milburn Port . —He will be long and sincerely regretted

very by every one who had the happiness to know him , and was acquainted with bis numerous virtues . He" was extensively charitable without ostentation , zea . lously patriotic and loyal , clear and sound in understandinsj , inviolable in veracity

and integrity , nice and sympathetic in his feelings ; neither misfortune nor danger could subdue the firmness of his mind ; he was steady and sincere in his friendship , politely attentive and affable in his behaviour , and truly benevolent to all . But , as human nature is not infallibleif ever he betrayed an

un-, guarded ' quickness of temper , it was only the irresistible impulse of the moment , 'instantly expiated by self-rebuke , and never leaving the smallest degree of rancour or ill-ivill , even against his worst enemy , if ar . y enemy he had ; in short , he was an honourable man ,

and a true Christian . Lately , Col . Campbell . He died soon after reaching his Government of the Bahamas , and was the same Officer who conducted himself with such addressand ability in a correspondence with the American General Wavne about three years ago . Colonelthen Major
