On Monday week, at his house in Clarges Street, Mr. Zachary MACAULAY. He took an early and prominent part in the question of slavery abolition, and, like Mr. WILBERFORCE, lived to see his efforts crowned with complete success. He was father to Mr. T. B. MACAULAY, now on his return from India.

 

At Taplow, in the county of Berks, lately, William THIRBY, at the advanced age of 108 years. He followed the occupation of shepherd upwards ot eighty years, and had lived at Taplow just a century. A short time previous to his death he stated, that during his long life he never suffered a day's illness, nor did he ever take a dose of medicine.

 

Lately, under the following melancholy circumstances, the Hon Graham KINNAIRD. Mr. KINNAIRD was Lieutenant commanding her Majesty's ship Rapid, and, the vessel having been driven on some rocks and wrecked off Bona, near Tunis, he attempted to get on shore in his gig, but such was the violence of the sea that the boat upset among the breakers, and Mr. KINNAIRD alone failed in reaching the shore. In fact, he was the only person drowned out of the entire crew of the Rapid, and it is but common justice to this yonng and gallant officer—one, too, of high promise—to add, that to his presence of mind and judicious arrangements in the midst of danger the salvation of the crew is, under Providence, attributable. Mr. Graham KINNAIRD was the younger brother of the present Lord KINNAIRD, and his death will throw into sincere mourning many noble families.

 

Some days since, Major-General CAMPBELL, Governor of Jersey. He entered the army in the year 1794, and rose by various stages to the rank of Major-General, in 1830. He served with distinction in the West Indies, and was present at the attack and capture of the Island of Martinique in 1809. He also served in Spain and Portugal, and shared in the glories achieved on the plains of Vittoria. In 1835 he was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Jersey, and during the short period of his governorship had rendered himself very popular with all classes. He was in his 69th year.

 

On the 29th ult., at Manchester, at the advanced age of 69 [sic – more likely 89] years, Ellen BRIERLEY. Her husband, Nathaniel BRIERLEY, died about eleven years ago, in his 80th year. They had been married 60 years, and claimed to be progenitors of a number of individuals large enough to people a whole hamlet. They had 22 children, 74 grand children, 60 great grand children, and 5 great great grandchildren; making altogether 172 souls. In the duties of her vocation Mrs. Ellen BRIERLEY has aided in the birth of more than 2,000 children; and the last time she practised was at the accouchement of one of her own granddaughters, about eight months ago, having left a sick bed and walked 200 yards, to give her aid on the occasion. She declared this was the last time she should ever fulfil this duty, and directed that her little great grand-daughter should be provided with mourning at the funeral.

 

DEATH OF DR. WATSON.—WATSON, whose connexion with THISTLEWOOD, &c, is unforgotten, expired at New York on the 12th of February, aged 72.

His son, who was suspected of shooting PLATT, on Snowhill, during the riots of 1819, died two years since. [This was James WATSON, a Spencean agitator.]
