gentleman affords a ftriking inftance of the un- 
certainty of human plans and events: on the 
Wednefday preceding his death he was unani- 
monfly elected furgcon to the London Difpen- 
fary. In the purfu.tof this ftation, thofe vir- 
tues and talents that called forth the zeal of his 
friends became known to an extenfive circle, 
and he entered: upon his office with the faireft 
profpect to himfelf, and the firm and flattering 
expectation of his fupporters, Jt is reafonably 
conjectured that the exertion in his canvafs 
proved fatally injurious. The Directors of 
Public Charities will, it 1s hoped, take warn- 
ing from this cafe, fo afflicting to humanity, 
and fet an early and proper value ~upon modeft 
merit, and not to fubject it to preffure that can- 
not be fuftained. The luttre of Mr. Kimpton’s 
good name, the dawn of fuccefs that awaized 
him, his fudden and unexpected death, afford 
a leffon encouraging to virtuous condua, and to 
induftry in the acquirement of ufeful know- 
ledge. Thofe, therefore, who were imprefied 
with his worth, who deplore the lofs of the ob- 
ject of their anxious hope, may derive confola- 
tion from the reflection that the example of his 
upright, though fhort life, may be ufeful.

mifing genius, and of confiderable acquirements. 
His tatte and knowledge in the fine arts ren- 
dered his company highly agreeable. His 
fprightly manners and amiable difpofition render 
his death a fevere affli€tion to al his relatives 
and friends. He had lately returned, in the 
the moft perfect health, in the Earl of Oxford, 
to London, and while purfuing his anatomical 
ttudies, in the Borough, was attacked with a 
violent fever, which, in a few days, terminated 
an exiftence, the apparent dawn of an ative 
and enterprizing life. i 
On his late paffage home from India, the 
veffel touched at Diamond Harbour, near to 
which the unfortunate Monro had been carried 
off by atyger. It happened at this time that 
two adjacent villages were kept in continual 
alarm by one of thefe ferocious animals. Mr. 
Cape, however, and the third mate, Mr. Wil- 
liamfon, engaging a body of the natives to at- 
tend them, determined to go in fearch of him, 
Soon after they had fallied forth, Mr. Cape came 
upon him unexpeétedly, as he lay bafking in the 
fun in a field of ftanding rice. The tyger in- 
{tantly {prung upon them, anda black man, 
at the fide of Mr. Cape, fell a victim to his 
fury ; alarmed, however, at the noife of the muf- 
quets and the yell of the people, the animal 
dropped his prey, and faced his affailants ;_ but 
aiter the difcharge of a few pieces, he fet up a 
horrid roar, and walked leifurely into the under- 
wood. ‘The poor man had his thigh bone firip- 
ped bare with one ftroke of his paw, and was 
alfo fo much injured in his head, that notwith- 
{tanding the immediate medical affiftance af= 
forded him, he died in a few hours. This 
tyger was confidered as one of the largeft in 
fize which the hatives had feen. In his haunt 
was found the remains of a bullock whom he 
had recently deftroyed.
