"The Right Hon, the Governor in Council, has received, with sentiments of extreme regret, the melancholy intelligence of the decease of Colonel William Wallace, of his Majesty's 80th regiment of foot, lately commanding the subsidiary force of British troops stationed with his Highness the Peshwa. The eminent character, professional abilities, and important services of the late Colonel Wallace, have long been considered, by the Governor-General in Council, to place him in the rank of those distinguished officers, whose virtues, talents, and exertions, have engaged the respect and esteem of the British Government in India, and the tribute of merited applause which public justice pays to the memory of Colonel Wallace, is necessarily combined with a deep sense of the loss his Majesty's and the Honourable Company's service have sustained by the death of this valued and lamented officer."

The masters and boys of the School, about 600 in number, walking in regular procession, preceded the corpse from the Schoolhouse. The Magistrates and Council, in their state dress, followed it. The Principal and Professors of the University, in their gowns, came next; and then above seven hundred gentlemen, of the principal inhabitants, far the greater part of whom had been Dr Adam's pupils, closed the scope. Among these, heads of the Supreme Courts, Judges, and Ministers of Edinburgh, were observed; and the mem. bers of a Society of young gentlemen, chiefly of the bar, who had lately presented the High School with a portrait, by Mr Raeburn, of their honoured master, and who attended in a body, were particularly remarkable. When the procession reached the Church-yard, the boys formed into two lines, standing uncovered, and shewed, in their countenances and deportment, that the mark of respect was strongly felt which they were now paying, for the last time, to the venerated remains which passed before them. 18.

Mr Paton was formerly tenant, for forty years years and upwards, of the farm and fishing boats of Seatown of Inveralochy. From a tenderness of conscience, not very usual in the present times, and perhaps, too, prompted by a consideration of the approaching infirmities of age, and in an unthinking moment, he resigned, for a trifling consideration, into the hands of the landlord's steward, the lease he had of that lucrative situation, to the great loss of his own numerous family. Jan. 24. At Barnton, in the 41st year of his age, George Ramsay of Barnton, Esq.-There have been few individuals whose death has, at any time, excited a more lively and more universal feeling of regret, amongst all ranks and conditions of men, in this part of the country. With a vigorous and comprehensive understanding, Mr Ramsay combined the most amiable and endearing dispositions of mind; while his princely fortune enabled him to give ample scope to the display of his excellent qualities, and to evince himself at once a generous friend, and a most valuable member of society. The loss which his numerous friends and relatives have sustained by his death is undoubtedly great, and will be long and deeply regretted; nor will the blank which has been created in the community, in consequence of that afflicting event, be less severely felt and deplored. As an active, public-spirited man, and promoter of improvements of every kind, he was eminently distinguished among his contemporaries, and has probably left few equals behind him. His sudden and unexpected death, indeed, has spread a degree of gloom over the country, which we scarcely remember to have witnessed upon any similar occasion. He is succeeded in his extensive estates by an infant son. Milo, and The Vindication of Bruce against Lord Valentia," will appear in our next. We have received pieces of R. G., several of which we will take an early opportunity of inserting. We would only remark, that with the genius of this author there is still mixed an occasional incorrectness, which we should be glad to see removed. J. MD., J. L., Asiris, will probably appear in our next, or an early Number. Besides Glotianus, we are indebted to several other correspondents for the communication of epitaphs, some of which we intend to select. |
