DEATHS.

On the 17th curt., at , the Rev. Thomas Gibson, minister of that parish, much and justly regretted. Mr Gibson, a native of the parish of Closeburn, was educated under Mr Mundell, Rector of the celebrated Academy of Wallace-Hall. From thence he removed to the University of Edinburgh, where he went through a complete course of studies, preparatory to the holy ministry, and in due time he became a Licentiate of the Church of Scotland. In the early part of his life he was placed in several different situations; and always conducted himself with so much prudence and propriety, and discharged his duty so conscientiously and ably, as to gain the esteem and favour of all with whom he was connected. After having been several years a preacher of the gospel, he was ordained minister of the parish of Lochmaben in the year 1809, and continued in that situation until his death. - Mr Gibson was a very good classical scholar, well acquainted with general literature, a sound divine, and a rational, impressive, practical preacher. Having endeavoured to establish among his hearers a safe and sure foundation of right religious principles, it was always his anxious care to rear upon that foundation the fair superstructure of a holy and virtuous life; inculcating earnestly the Apostolical maxim, which enjoins all Christians to add to their faith virtue. He was remarkably distinguished by a kind and benevolent disposition, which, while it rendered him contented, cheerful, and happy himself, made him delight in promoting the happiness of all around him. Few men had a more extensive circle of acquaintances, and by all who knew him he was esteemed and beloved. He was particularly fond of the society of his clerical friends, who were very numerous; and to young men coming forward to that profession, whose principles and talents he considered respectable, his hospitality and kindness were almost unbounded. - In his character there was not the smallest taint of duplicity or deceit, and high as the eulogium is, it may justly be applied to him, that he was a man without guile. Having upon mature consideration adopted his principles, he adhered to them uniformly and steadily; and every friend who knew him could reckon with certainty upon the open and honourable part he would act in any situation. His whole character and conduct were such as to procure him many friends; and he could hardly have any enemies. Both his heart and his hand were so open as to disarm all hostility, and even to turn enemies into friends. - It would not be easy to name another clergyman who has passed through life enjoying a longer share of the esteem and affection of his parishioners, and of all who knew him; and whose death has been more sincerely regretted. - The removal of so excellent a person has left a blank in the parish and presbytery of Lochmaben, and in the whole neighbourhood, which will not be soon or easily filled up. On the 11th inst., in Edinburgh, Anne, wife of Capt. G. G. Lennock, R.N., and a daughter of the late James Walker, Esq. of Woodland. Here, on the 19th inst., Elizabeth L.

At Maxwelltown, on the 18th int., Jane Cairnon, wife of Benjamin M’Kay, miller. At Hardgate, parish of Urr, on the 22d inst., Catherine, eldest daughter of the late Dr Johnstone. This amiable young lady met her death in a most distressing way, - her clothes having accidentally caught fire three weeks ago, by which she was so severely burnt, as to cause her death.

His character was irreproachable, his piety sincere, his understanding enlightened, his principles truly evangelical, and he was distinguished for his soundness of judgement. His manners were mild and unassuming, his disposition truly amiable, his hospitality unostentatious; and his unremitting anxiety to promote the spiritual and temporal welfare of those committed to his pastoral care, gained him their unfeigned regard and esteem.

In Petersburgh he resided for the long period of 48 years, and was justly accounted the pride of Scotsmen within that locality. He retired from business several years previous to his decease, and enjoyed the most profitable of all otiums, by dedicating his leisure to acts of benevolence and the duties of religion. To some of his relations he has bequeathed wealth, and to all of them what is better, a good name, and an example, which, if followed, will enable the young “to go and do likewise.” General Lafaylette died on Tuesday morning at five o-clock. During the last 15 years of his life he was the only individual alive who had taken a leading part, and figured in a conspicuous manner, in the event of the first revolution. The venerable General was born on the 1st of September, 1757, and consequently wanted little more than three months to complete the age of 77. The wondrous scenes in both the New World and the old, in which the name of Lafayette was prominently distinguished, are among the most remarkable in the annals of mankind; and we may safely aver (without entering into abstract opinions on political doctrines) that history does not in all her records possess a name which has passed through the searching ordeal of public opinion, even in the darkest and most tempestuous times, more pure and unsullied than his whose death his country is called upon to deplore. The Chamber of deputies paid him on Monday the distinguished compliment of sending in its name to enquire after the state of his health.

DEATHS.

CONVENER M’KINNELL. – It is with deep regret we announce the death of Convener M’Kinnell, which took place on the forenoon of Thursday last, after a very brief illness. During the lengthened period which Mr M’Kinnell has filled the duties of a citizen and master-tradesman in Dumfries his character has uniformly possessed in a strong degree the features of integrity and virtue; and it is the lot of few to pass to the "narrow house” with a more unsulied [sic] name or a fairer reputation. As an active working member of the kirk Session his loss will be severely felt, more especially among the aged and indigent, amongst whom his duties in this respect frequently led him; & when we witnessed the long train of mourners which followed his remains to St. Michael’s we are inclined to regard his demise more as a public loss than a private one. At Gatehouse-of Fleet, on the 15th current, after a severe illness of several weeks duration, Robert, youngest son of James Kirkpatrick, Esq., merchant.

Of a truth, such was his uniform buoyancy of spirit, and the unsophistocated [sic] kindness & warmth of his feelings, and so disinclined was he ever to inflict the most distant degree of injury on the feelings of others as to render him an object not only of the highest respect, but even the master-spirit of almost every company in which he happened to be, and hence the so general and heartfelt regret entertained for his loss.

Kirkpatrick, at the advanced age of 89 years. The respectability and number of the attendants at his funeral bespoke very forcibly the esteem cherished by all for so venerable a character – the patriarch it may be said of the narrow district in which he resided; and who dropped into the grave on Friday last, so full of years, piety, and blamelessness, as to excite the remark, that he formed not in appearance only, but in walk and conversation, one of the few remaining links of Scotland’s covenanted heroes, from whom he was proud to trace his descent. At the Manse of Irongray, on the 15th inst., Isabella Fullarton, infant daughter of the Rev. Robert Crawfurd. At Creebridge, Newton-Stewart, on the 5th inst., Eunice Moore, wife of the late James Sloane, Officer of Excise, and daughter of the late Hon. Deemster Thomas Moore, of Abbey, Isle of Man. At Wigtown, on the 17th inst., Alexander Minnoch, Esq., surgeon there, aged 52.

Thompson, farmer, deeply regretted by all who knew him. In every respect the deceased was what may be called a right character – sternly honest, truthful, neighbourly, hospitable, and kind – the friend of the poor, and the friend of human kind – who knew his place and kept it – and who, despising ambition, and the harvest of barren honours it brings, looked chiefly, if not solely, to advancement in those more upward influences which the world can neither give nor take away. At Nether-Dalveen, on Tuesday, the 16th inst., John Harper, in the 91st year of his age. – His manners were unaffected, cheerful, and attractive – “his heart was generous and his soul sincere,” – his beneficence and liberality were only bounded by his rules of philosophical propriety, and his memory is embalmed in the recollections of his friends and extensive circle of his former acquaintances.
