DEATHS.

T Dominica, in his 28th year, of a fever, which continued but a few hours, MajorWm. Gordon, of the 4th battalion of the 60th regiment, youngest fon of Charles G. efq. of Abergeldie, in the county of Aberdeen, North Britain, and brother to Sir Cha. G. lieutenant-colonel of the 4ft regiment, who was prefented, by the King of Pruffia, with the military order of Merit, for his able and spirited conduct whilst acting under the conmand of the Duke of Brunswick, in the campaign of 1787; a distinction the more honourable, he being the only foreigner on whom it has ever been bestowed.—To fay, that Major Gordon is fincerely lamented by all his acquaintance, which in truth he is, is a fmia!! tribute to his memory. By his death his Majefty and the fervice have loft as valuable and brave an officer as Great Britain could ever boaft. It was owing to his gallant conduct, at the head of the forming party, compofed of a small column of light infantry, who dashed into the ene my's works, and forced the commandant to furtender at difcretion, that the island of Tobago was captured; for, during this event, Brigadier-general Cuyler, 'who commanded the main body of the troops, had been obliged to fall back, and knew not that the fort was taken, till announced by the firing of the morning-gun, and the boilting of the British colours by Major Gorden. When the attack of the land of Martinique was afterwards determined on, the Major was appointed to the command of the light infantry companies of all the regiments in the Leeward Ilands; in which important fituation he evinced the fame intrepid fpirit

[ocr errors]

to promote the interefts of his country; and at the landing of the troops on that expedition, he puthed forward and penetrated upwards of fix miles into the ifland, under every poffible difadvantage, expofed to a very heavy fire from the enemy, almost inceffant rains, fucceeded by a scorching fun, and during forty hours under arms, without a moriel to eat, or any other cover.ng than the heavens. The Honfe of Affembly at Barba. does, on which ifland Major Gordon had commanded the battalion many months, voted him, in June laft, an elegant fword, as a token of their respect, and expreflive of their approbation of the uniform regularity and good conduct of his corps; and the inhabitants in general teftified their regard to him by flocking the man of war on board which he embarked with every kind of refreshment against Martinique, where "his gallantry and toldier-like conduct, in repulfing an attack of the enemy, were so pecu liarly diftinguifbed" that the commander in chief returned him particular thanks in public orders. Honourable as there repeated teftimonies are, in juice to Major Gordon's memory it ought alio to be recorded, becaufe it is equally true, that the benevolence of his difpofition, and the urbanity of his manners, were no lefs confpicuous to every object who felicited his aliitance than to all who had the happiness of his friendship.

At the Circus, Bath, in his 77th year, in confeq tence of an apoplectic fit, Benjamin Colborne, efq. father of the Lady of Sir Matthew White Ridley, bart. Confpicuous amongst this gentleman's qualities were his unremitted endeavours to render extenfive medical benefit to mankind, which led him to devote his attention to ufeful difcoveries, of which his mephitic alkaline water will be a lafting remembrance,

Aged 74, Rev. Thomas Clarke, rector of Chefham Bois, Bucks. In him the Church has lott one of its brighteft ornaments. He was born in 1719, and entered, at the ufual time, at Brazen Nofe college, Oxford, where he took his degree of B. A. For the space of half a century this great man carried on his minifterial labours with a zeal and fidelity of which we have very few examples. He had refided 27 years at Chefham Bois, and has left many in that neighbourhood who lament their lofs. His learning and piety, his public and private character, all claim our attention and respect. Of his learning there are many living witneffes, who, reared by his hand, fill, at this time, the most respectable stations in life. He has fent forth many able and excellent minifters into the Church, who can all teftify that his talents were great, and bis knowledge extensive. As an author, it is true, he has not left behind him any works to perpetuate his fame; but this is to be imputed to his great modefty, which thene confpicuous in all his actions, and gained the esteem and love of thofe who knew him. But piety was the prominent feature of his character. His life was a living fermon. It may be faid with truth, that few, who have had the happinefs of his acquaintance, have ever left his company unedified. It was his delight to dwell upon and enforce the practical truths of Chriftianity, even in the most familiar converfation; infomuch that his friends derived, frequently, as much inftruétion from his converfation as from his difcourfes in the pulpit. He was contantly favoured with a calm and refigned itate of mind, which led him to fubmit to every difpenfation of Providence without a murmur. In this refpect his character was truly great. In him the poor had a benefactor whofe lofs will be. fincerely regretted. His houfe was a refuge to thofe in diftreis, who flew to him as to GENT. MAG. Oftober, 1793.

their common friend, and were fure never to return empty. Of his public character as a minifter of the Gofpel, it may be faid, that he was a zealous and faithful preacher. Ever intent upon the great work of reclaiming finners, he did not "hun to declare the whole counfel of God.". He avoided with care every unneceflary ornament in his lan guage, and accommodated his difcourfes to the understandings of the most ignorant. The diligence and activity with which he profecuted his labours were remarkable. He placed his whole happiness in the fervice of his Mafter, for whom he thought nothing too hard to undergo. As to his private character, to fum it up in a few words, he was an affectionate hulband, an indulgent parent, a constant friend, and a pleafing companion.-It is neceffary to add, that, on his death bed he enjoyed the utmost compofare and ferenity; and difplayed, on this occafion, in a most striking manner, the doctrines which he had enforced. During a painful fortnight he ceafed not, as his ftrength permitted, to fpeak to his friends in the most affectionate and instructive manner. He looked upon life with contempt, upon death with fere. rity, and upon heaven with rapture! In a word, he died as he had lived, fall of hope, and a well-grounded confidence in the me rits of his Redeemer.
