MONTHLY OBITUARY.

OFF Cape Trafalgar, in the ever

memorable engagement be tween the British fleet, under the command of Lord Viscount Nelson, and the combined fleets of France and Spain, Captain Charles William Adair, of the Royal Marines, who shared the same fate, and on board the same ship, with the noble commander in chief, being struck with a musket shot, which put a period to his existence.

At an early age Captain Adair obtained a commission in the Marines, and, from the commencement of his military career, he has been actively engaged in the cause of his country. Endeared by many excellent qualities to a numerous and respectable acquaintance, he will long continue to live in their remembrance. The propriety with which he discharged the various duties of life was exemplarily conspicuous, uniformly displaying the most amiable deportment and instructive example. In his professional capacity he was zealous, assiduous, and exact. As a son, a husband, parent, friend, and master, he was beloved and respected in each walk of like. His mind was cheerful, his manners gentle, and his heart benevolent: he possessed that happy disposition which the wise man ranks amongst the greatest blessings, and which retains littie of that hateful inheritance which is supposed to be derived from our first parents. Few men have by their death occasioned a

more general impression of regret and sorrow; as he was universally esteemed, so is he universally lamented: it may be said he has left the world without an enemy. To his country and to his friends his loss is great indeed; but, alas! how much greater to his afflicted widow, whose only consolation will be the remembrance of his virtues. This sketch of his character, drawn by one who esteemed and loved him, is presented as a tribute no less due to justice and truth, than to the memory of departed friendship and worth.

At Mount Pleasant, near Dublin, the Rev. Walter Blake Kirwan Dean of Killala. He was born in 1754, near Galway. His parents, who professed the Roman Catholic religion, sent him, at an early age, to the English college at St. Ömer's where he pursued his studies seven years. At the age of seventeen he embarked for the Danish island of St. Croix, in the West Indies, under the protection of a relation who had large possessions in that settle

ment.

At the age of twenty-three he returned to Europe, and repaired to the University of Louvain, where, after studying theology, he entered into priest's orders in the church of Rome. At Louvain he obtained the professorship of Moral and Natural Philosophy, the duties of which office he discharged with reputation three years.

3P 2

In 1778, he accepted an invitation

tion to officiate as Chaplain to the Neapolitan Ambassador in London Here he continued seven years, and was much admired as a preacher by those who attended his Excellency's chapel.

He afterwards removed to Dub lin, and lived a retired and studious life with his friends two years. The result of his enquiries was a change in his religious sentiments, which he openly avowed in the parish church of St. Peter's, Dublin. From this time he became a frequent preacher, and so powerful was his eloquence that he was constantly followed by crowds of hearers of all persuasions. As an advocate for charity he was irresistible; and the Asylum for destitute female orphans, at Dublin, was raised from a feeble to a most flourishing state, solely by his exertions in the pulpit. For this institution the sum of 15,001. was received at one collection; a larger contribution than ever was before of fered, we believe at one time, on the altar of charity by a Christian congregation. But Mr. Kirwan's exertions were not confimed to the patronage of this asylum; occasionally many other of the charitable institutions of Dublin have acknowledged the success of his appeals to the public in their favour. The school of his own parish in particular was greatly benefited by them. From being a receptacle for a few wretched children, it has grown to be a respectable seminary for a large distret.

Dr. Fowler, the late Archbishop of Dublin, presented Mr. Kirwan to the living of St. Nicholas without, in that city; and Marquis Cornwallis rewarded his merits with the deanery of Killala.

It is said that more than 50,000l. have been collected and applied for the support and education of friendless children, by the exertions of this celebrated preacher, and worthy philantropist.

In 1798, Mr. Kirwan married the daughter of Goddard Richards, Esq. of the county of Wexford, by whom he had two girls' and a boy. It is to be lamented that we have not published specimens of the elo

querce of this popular divine; but in our fourth volume, page 376, there is a feeble sketch of a Charity Sermon by him, taken from a public print.

The Rev. Daniel James, aged 51, for more than twenty years curate of Henington, Warwickshire. His amiable disposition, and faithful discharge of his duty, procured for him in an emment degree, the esteem and regard of all his parishioners, so as to render his life respected, his death lamented, and his memory revered.
