tance, I shall not exchange you for’any other 
person, if we can come to an'understanding;;. 
in fact I wish to know what you will charge 
for your attendance until I am recovered?” 
The doctor answered, ‘* eight guineas.” 
«¢ Ah? sir,” said the old man, ‘if you knew. 
my disorder you would not. be exorbitant: 
but to put an end to this discussion, I will 
give you six guineas and a half.” The doctor 
assented, and the patient held out his arm with 
the fee, and to have his pulse considered, and 
laid himself down again. His relations were 
numerous, but not being, in hisopinion, qua- 
lified, for want of experience in the manage-. 
ment of money, to nurse his wealth, he be- 
queathed the entire of it to a rich family in the 
West Indies, with the generous sum of 41. 
annually to a faithful servant, who lived with 
him 24 years. In the will he expresses great 
kindness for poor John, and says he be- 
queathied the 41. for his kind services, that his 
latter days may be spent in comfortable inde- 
pendence! Like Thellusson, he would not 
allow his fortune to pass to his heirs imme- 
diately, as he directed that the entire should 
be funded for 14 years, and then, in its im- 
proved state, be at the disposal of the heirs, 
he has chosen, Fer the regulation of his last 
will and testament he appointed Walter-Nan- 
gle, esq. and Major O'Farrell, late of the 
Austrian army, his,executors, and the Right 
Honourable David La Touche, and Lord Fin- 
gal, trustees. 
DEATHS AEROAD. 
At Lisbon, Colonel. James Wynch, of the 
4th regiment, or King’s Own, who was pro- 
moted to the command of a brigade, and put 
on the staff a short time before his dece:se. 
This gallant officer had long distinguished 
himself by his uniform exertions and bravery 
in defence of his king and country. He had 
served successively in every expedition of im- 
portance undertaken during the war. At the 
Helder he was severely wounded,. and at the 
battle of Corunna was shot through the body 5 
from which latter wound he never entirely 
recovered. 
At Trocifal, Portugal, of a violent fever 
and delirum, (the consequence of over fa- 
tigue) William How.Campbell, esq. briga~ 
dier-generalin the Portuguese service, colonel 
and lieut.-colonel of the 2d battalion, 31st 
foot. His indefatigable zeal fur the good of 
the service, and the individual comfort of the 
soldier, endeared him to all; devoted from his 
earliest youth to the enthusiastic study of his 
profession, his talents and abilities prognos- 
ticated a career of glory, had he not thus 
early (at the age of 33) met a fate lamentable 
and untimely. His family have to deplore 
their blighted prospects; his cozntry, the loss 
of a valuable officer. 
On board the Crocodile frigate, at Sierra 
Leone, in the 35th year of his age, Thomas 
udlam, esq. lately appointed by his Majesty 
Dedths' Abroad. 
[April t, 
a commissioner for special purposes on that 
coast; and, eldest surviving son of the late 
Rev. Wm. Ludlam, of Leicester. The pree 
mature death of this excellent voung man is 
not cnly a subject of sincere Jamentation to 
his numerous friends, but is in some degree a 
national loss. Inheriting no small portion of 
his father’s netural talent for scientific pur- 
suits, and cultivated by a sound classical edy- 
cation, his first views in life were turned to 
the liberal profession of a printer; and in thar 
capacity we gladly bear testimony to the ex- 
cellence of his conduct during a regular ap- 
prenticeship. Gentle and unassuming in his* 
manners, and industrious in his habits of busi- 
ness, his conduct gave general satisfaction 
both to his equals and his superiors, -Soon 
after the expiration of his apprenticeship, an 
opportunity occurred, which was thought 
favourable both to his health and his future 
fortune, of entering into the service uf the 
Sierra Leone Company; and in thag infant 
Colony he was for a considerable time one of 
the council, and at length became governor. 
On the colony being taken into the hands of 
the administration, a new governor was ap- 
pointed by the crown; but Mr, Ludlam ob- 
tained an especial commission, with power to 
visit such parts of the coast of Africa as 
might be thought useful co the interests of 
Gréat Britain and the general cause of huma- 
nity 3 a commission for which, by his mild 
conciliatory manners, and by the experience 
acquired during a long residence at Sierra 
Leone, he was most eminently qualified. 
But his bodily strength was not equal to the 
task he had undertaken; and he fell a victim 
to disease, originally arising from a weak cun- 
stitution; but with the pleasing consolation, 
both to himself and his surviving friends, that 
his life, though mot a long.one, was wholly 
passed in endeavours to be useful to all man- 
kind. ; 
At sea, on board his Majesty’s ship Dro- 
medary, Colonel William Paterson, lieute= 
nant-colonel of the 102d regiment, fellow of 
the Royal Society, member of the Asiatic So- 
ciety, and many years lieutenant-governor of 
New South Wales, from which colony he wes 
returning to England in the command of the 
102d regiment. 
On the Jamaica station, Captain William 
Charlton, commanding his Majesty's ship 
Garland. He commenced his naval career 
under the late. circumnavigator, Captain 
Cooke, and was with that officer when-he 
met his death. 
At Kingston, in Jamaica, Ann, the wi‘e of 
Colonel Thomlinson, of the 18th regiment of 
foot, and eldest daughter of the late Rev. 
William Plumbe, rector of Ayghton, in the « 
county of Lancaster. j 
On his passage to India, Lieut. Allen Ca- 
meron, of the 70th Highland regiment, son 
to Lieut. John C. of the 6th royal vetergn 
‘ battalion,
