some splendid testimonial of their respect ; but, on his return, he 

 publicly expressed his determination to accept of no such tribute. 

 He seemed sent to rescue his country from the impeachment of " ay 

 booin '," for he never bowed to what he did not feel was entitled to 

 respect. 



We have not heard his age named ; but his high brow, ploughed 

 and furrowed, and the appearance of his thoughtful face the last time 

 we had the pleasure of seeing him, would lead us to suppose he was 

 somewhat about sixty. He has left a widow and one daughter. 



His country owes him much, perhaps more than it does to any 

 other individual who has pursued the same walks through life. His 

 name will be honoured and respected as long as the happiest and 

 most interesting of human pursuits are valued. — The Britannia.
