 duous labours, and the anxiety of mind caused by the uncertainty of 

 his prospects, had undermined his delicate health ; and his short 

 career was suddenly terminated on the Cth of April 1829, in a vil- 

 lage near Arendahl, where he was on a visit to some of his relations.

 a Professorship in the University of Berlin, reached Christiania a few 

 days after his death. 



M. VAUQUELIN. 

 M. Vauquelin, the celebrated chemist, died lately at the house 

 of M. Duhamel, in the same commune as that in which he was born, 

 after a severe illness of a few weeks. This learned, scientific, and good 

 man, carries universal regret with him to the tomb. — Journal cles
