At St. Columb, Mr. Peter Hawke, 87. 
At St. Mary’s, Scilly, Mr. Abraham Leg- 
gatt, surgeon, 70. Through life he was a 
most active man, and made the practice of his 
profession so regular a line of duty, by dispen-— 
sing the best medicines, and by paying the 
Same strict attention to the poor as to the 
tich, that he was lately heard to declare, tnat 
during a practice of 46 years, le knew not a 
single instance in which his conscience could 
upbraid him with having acted otherwise 
than with the strictest integrity towards every 
individual patient alike—both during and 
after sickness; and to imposition he was 
known to be an entire stranger. Whilst he 
practised at Cardiff, in Glamorganshire, and 
since at Scilly, he was very successful; but 
never attributed such success to greater 
knowledge, ot superior abilities: those he heid 
in himself of low estimation, as he did the 
pretensions of many others, allowing those 
who knew most to knew but little.

sallysapproved institution, the British and 
Foreign Bible Society, which was first estab- 
lished in London, in the year 1804, and
