Deaths.   [continued]

At Mitford Vicarage, near Morpeth, on the 31st ult., aged 64, the Rev D. THOMPSON. The reverend gentleman formerly officiated as Curate at Horton, in the same county, from whence he removed about ten years ago, to the vicarage of Mitford, and by the faithful discharge of the sacred duties of his office, and his many endearing social qualities, he had secured the unaffected love and respect of all to whom he was known. Possessed of virtues of no common order, he spent his life in acts directed to the improvement of his fellow creatures; and, as he lived universally respected for his humanity and benevolence, he had the distinguished fortune to die without a personal enemy. Mr. THOMPSON, some years ago, published a collection of sermons of a practical character, the style and matter of which are alike creditable to his head and heart, and which are esteemed, not more for their admirable simplicity and clearness of diction, than for the moral purity which pervades them.

 
At New Zealand, in June last, Thomas H. MALONG, Esq., late of Sunderland, Lieut. in the Royal Westmoreland Militia. He was one of the unfortunate individuals killed by the natives in the late melancholy affair at Wairau. He held the office of Captain-Commander of the Civil Force for the city and province of Nelson, and has left a widow and two young children to mourn his untimely fate.


DEATH OF LORD DOUGLAS.—It is our mournful duty to announce the demise of Lord DOUGLAS, of Douglas, which took place at Bothwell Castle, one of the family seats, early on the morning of Saturday last. His Lordship was the eldest son of the preceding Lord, by Lady GRAHAME, only daughter of Wm., second Duke of Montrose, was borne in 1771. Upon the death of his father in 1827, he succeeded to the title of Baron DOUGLAS of Douglas; and at the same time, in virtue of the settlements of his grand-uncle, Archibald, Duke of Douglas; he inherited the extensive estates of that ancient Scottish family. His Lordship was never married, and is succeeded both in title and estates by his immediate younger brother, the Hon. Charles DOUGLAS, who twice represented the county of Lanark in Parliament. The benevolent character of the late Lord DOUGLAS is too well known to require commemoration from us.

DEATH OF THE DUKE OF SAXE COBURG.—It is our painful duty to announce the unexpected death of his Royal Highness the late Reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, who expired suddenly on the 29th ult. His Royal Highness was uncle and father in law to the Queen, father to Prince Albert, and brother of the King of the Belgians and the Duchess of Kent. He had just reached his 60th year. He succeeded his father in the year 1806, but, from his being in arms against Napoleon, he was secluded from possessing himself of his sequestered property until the year 1813. He commanded the 5th Corps of the Allied Army, and Mayence was surrendered to his arms. After his return from the Congress of Vienna, his time and attention were devoted to the welfare of his people, and to the personal superintendance of the education of his two sons: to the former he gave in the year 1819, of his own free will, a representative constitution. He was married first to Louisa, only daughter of Augustus, Duke of Saxe Gotha and Altenburg, by whom he had issue Ernest, Hereditary Prince, now reigning Duke, and Prince Albert. He married secondly Antoinette, daughter of Alexander, Duke of Mecklenburg, by whom he has left no issue. His Royal Highness was suddenly carried off by cramp in the stomach.

DEATH OF BOGHOS BEY.—ALEXANDRIA, Jan. 24.—His Excellency Boghos YOUSSOUF Bey [Boghos YOUSEFIAN Bey according to Wikipedia], Minister of Foreign Affairs and of Commerce to Mohammed ALI, Viceroy of Egypt, died in the afternoon of the 10th inst., at the age of about 71.

DEATH OF THE EARL OF BESBOROUGH.—This venerable nobleman died on Saturday, at the seat of his second son, Lord de Mauley, Canford-house, in Dorsetshire, where his Lordship had arrived from his house at Brighton, and sank under the prevalent influenza at the advanced age of 86. His Lordship is succeeded in his titles and estates by his eldest son, Viscount Duncannon, who was called up to the House of Lords in 1835. His Lordship was married in 1780 to Henrietta Francis [sic] SPENCER, daughter of John, first Earl SPENCER, by whom (who died in 1821), he had issue, John William, Viscount Duncannon, the present Earl. His Lordship was born in August, 1781, and was married in 1805, to Maria FANE, daughter of John, Earl of Westmorland, by whom, who died in 1834, his Lordship had a family of 14 sons and daughters; the eldest son, John George Brabazon, now Viscount Duncannon, was born in 1809. His Lordship's second son, Sir Frederick Cavendish PONSONBY, died 1837; and his Lordship's third son, William Francis Spencer PONSONBY, was created Baron de Mauley, by patent in 1838. His Lordship's only daughter, Caroline, was married to the present Viscount Melbourne, and died in 1828. The death of the Earl of Besborough puts several families of the highest rank into mourning—the CAVENDISHes, SPENCERs, PONSONBYs, BENTICKs, SOMERSETs, BEAUCLERKs, Westmorland, FITZGERALDs, Lansdowne, RUSSELLs, ASHLEYs, &c.
