Sit Ewan has died full of years and honours-of hohours springing from the retrospect of a long life spent in promoting the good of his country, and the happiness of his friends and dependents. In him were united the best qualities of the High land chief, honour and hospitality, regulated and controlled by a spirit of pure, unostentatious benevolence and sound judginent. Sir Ewan Cameron obtained his baronetcy in consequence of the gallant conduct of his son, Colonel Cameron, "the valiant Fassifern," who fell at the head of his brave 92d, on the field of Waterloo.

Death of Major Laing.-It is with regret that we announce the murder of this intrepid and persevering traveller.

DEATH OF SIR WILLIAM FORBES OF PITSLIGO, Bart.

It is with sincere regret that we announce the death of this truly amiable and excellent person. That melancholy event took place at Colinton House on the 24th October, having, as we understand, been immediately occasioned by an ossi. fication of the heart; but the death of his eldest son, a youth of great promise, is thought to have preyed on the spirits of the affectionate parent, and to have accelerated his end. Sir William Forbes was a man of the most sterling rectitude of principle, of the greatest moral worth, and of the most benignant and generous dispositions. He was a liberal supporter of all public institutions which had for their object to promote either the comfort or the instruction of the people; and his hand was open as the day to melting charity. But there was no ostentation in his be nevolence, for he seemed to act on the principle, so simply yet emphatically laid down in Scripture, of not letting the right hand know what his left was doing. Constitutionally of a modest, re

tiring, unobstrusive disposition, he shrunk from every species of notoriety, and even from taking that share in public business which was properly due to a man of his rank, character, and fortune; nay, he has been known to absent himself from public meetings assembled to promote objects to which he had largely contributed, lest he should be called to the chair, or otherwise signalised by the notice of his fellow-citizens. To him, there fore, might with propriety be applied those exquisite lines in which Pope has immortalized his amiable and benevolent friend:

Let modest Forbes, with ingenuous shame, Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame. In a word, as he lived respected and esteemed, so his death has been sincerely regretted; and as the sphere of his usefulness was great, his loss will be the more sincerely felt by those who in him have lost a friend or a benefactor.
