DIED. 

 

On Thursday, in Fisher-street, Mrs. Dinah HORNSBY, at an advanced age. She resided alone, and a few days preceding when retiring to
rest was seized with a fit, and fell on the floor. In her struggles she so entangled herself under an old-fashioned low bed-stead,
that when a little recovered she could not extricate herself, and in this state lay all night, and the greater part of the forenoon
of the succeeding day, when some persons entered the window and relieved her. At this time she was quite sensible, but extremely
weak. Mrs. HORNSBY was well known in the houses of the gentry of Carlisle as an excellent cook. 

 

Last week, Mr. John HORNSBY, of English-street, millwright, aged 67.-A man much respected. 

 

On Saturday, Ann HINDE, of Annettwell-street, aged 85 years.-Dorothy GRAHAM of the same street, aged 73. 

 

On Thursday, the 14th inst. Mr. George NIXON, of Castle-street, aged 89. 

 

Last week, at an advanced age, Mr. Robert ARMSTRONG, of Parknook, near this city. 

 

Saturday last, at Burnside, in the parish of Kirklinton, Mrs. TODD, wife of Mr. James TODD, farmer, late of Kellhouses. 

 

At Tarn-End, near Welton, in this county, Sarah, wife of Mr. John RITSON, and sister to Mrs. ATKINSON, of the Grey Goat inn, in this
city, aged 39. 

 

On Thursday se'ennight, at Penrith, Hannah, the wife of Mr. George BELL, aged 37.-Same place, on Tuesday last, Mrs. Mary WILSON,
aged 66. 

 

At Keswick, Mrs. Mary LAWSON, wife of Mr. James LAWSON, jun. aged 34, greatly respected. 

 

At Workington, Mr. John HOPE, in the 64th year of his age.-Mary the wife of Edward CHAPELHOW, aged 73. 

 

At Greysouthen, in the 78th year of his age, Mr. John ROBINSON, one of the Society of Friends, and greatly respected through life by
all who knew him, as a very intelligent, worthy, honest man. 

 

On the 6th inst. at the Manse of Borgue, in the 58th year of his age, and 33rd of his ministry, the Rev. Samuel SMITH, late minister
of that parish. His talents and attainments were of the first class, and he is known to the world as an author, by his Agricultural
Survey of Galloway-a work which has been often quoted with great respect. This most respectable clergyman was not more distinguished
by the endowments of his mind, than the excellent qualities of his heart; by his manners, by his obliging deportment, above all, by
the able and assiduous discharge of the duties of his pastoral office, he had, in no small degree, acquired the esteem and
attachment of his flock. As he lived respected and beloved, so he died-the subject of universal regret. 

 

At Dumfries, last week:-Mrs. LAING, wife of Mr. J. LAING, surgeon.-Same place, Mr. Andrew CLARK, tacksman, of the Clouden mills.-On
Saturday last, Mr. James HUNTER, innkeeper. 

 

At Beetham, near Millthorp, Willam [sic] CULLIFORD, Esq. late Captain the 20th regiment of foot. 

 

At Kirkcudbright, on the 12th ult. Miss Katharine Douglas MELVILLE, daughter of Alexander MELVILLE, Esq., of Barquhar; and, on the
13th, Archibald, only child of the late Archibald BRODIE, Esq., writer in Edinburgh, and grandson of Mr. MELVILLE. 

 

At Gatehouse, on the evening of Saturday the 16th inst., at an advanced age, Mrs. RAE, mother of Mr. Nelson RAE, surgeon there, and
of Mr. Thomas RAE, teacher of the grammar school, Wigtown. 

 

On Saturday, at an advanced age, the Rev. John CLAGUE, vicar of Kirk Christ Rushen, Isle of Man. 

 

On Monday, in Douglas, Isle of Man, Mrs. Ann CALLOW, formerly of Ballaskaig, Kirk Maughold. 

 

On Monday, the 11th inst. at Avening, in the county of Gloucestershire, in his 70th year, the Rev. Nathaniel THORNBURY, L. L. B.
thirty-seven years Rector of that parish. On the previous morning, after attending with his usual vigour to the Sunday school
established in that parish, this excellent man was proceeding to the public performance of the duties of the day, when the hand of
death arrested him. At the altar of his God, he fell, evincing in his last moments the upholding excellence and consolation of those
doctrines which his voice and his example had so long and so strenuously inculcated. To profound erudition, and extensive
acquaintance with almost every branch of science, this eminent scholar added a knowledge of several of the modern languages,
acquired by talents in his earlier life; and possessed at the same time such a vivacity and playfulness of disposition, as well as
such a facility of communication, as to render his society as entertaining as it was instructive. The foundation stone of all was
Christianity; pious without ostentation, energetic without enthusiasm, amiable in every domestic relation of life, he pursued "the
noiseless tenor of his way" in the performance of the duties of his parish, beloved and revered in life, and equally lamented in
death. This is not the ebulition of indiscriminate applause, but a grateful and merited tribute to the memory of a gentleman, a
scholar, and a Christian, by one who knew and revered the attainments of his mind, as he loved the virtues of his heart.
