PROFESSOR PLAYFAIR.

July 20. In Forth-street, Edinburgh, John Playfair, D. D. F. R. S. and A. S. Edinb. and Professor of Mathematics in that University. He was the son of Dr. James Playfair, the author of an elaborate System of Chronology. The Professor was one of the principal conductors of the Edinburgh Review, and distinguished himself by his zealous defence of the Huttonian theory of the earth.

The Scotsman announces the death of Professor Playfair in the following terms: -"With extreme regret we have to inform our readers that Professor Playfair, who has for some time past been much indisposed, expired at his house in Albanystreet, on Tuesday morning. It is not for us, we are aware, to attempt embalming the memory of his departed worth and genius. There are others, whose qualifications far surpass ours, who have higher and better claims to the honour of performing that delicate and important task. To them, therefore, whose pride and duty it will be to discharge it well, we leave it. And yet anxious as we have always been to embody some portion of the general feelings of Scotsmen, we should not be

at peace with ourselves, nor considered, we suspect, sufficiently alive to what bas occurred, if we did not say that we join all our readers in deploring this more than national, and we fear irreparable loss. In remembering what Professor Playfair was-that he was cast in nature's happiest mould-acute, clear, comprehensive, baying almost all the higher qualities of intellect, combined and regulated by the most perfect good taste; and being not less perfect in his moral than his intellectual nature; every one must see how impossible it was for such a man not to be distinguished, respected, beloved. We feel the debt, while we leave it to abler hands to pay the high tribute that is due to his memory." His Works are:

Elements of Geometry, 8vo. 1796. 2d. edit. 1804.-Illustrations of the Huttonian Theory of the Earth, 8vo. 1802. This has been successfully attacked by the venerable geologist De Luc.-A Letter to the Author of the Examination of Professor Stewart's Statement, 8vo. 1806-A complete System of Geography, Antient and Modern, v. 1. 4to. 1808, v. 2. 1809. v. 5. 1813.-Outlines of Natural Philosophy, 8vo. 1812.

CAPTAIN PHILIP DUMARESQ.

In our account of Sir John Dumaresq, in our Magazine for April (p. 374), we mentioned the high character of one of his sons, Captain Philip Dumaresq, of the Navy. We are much concerned to state that that distinguished officer and excellent man is no more. He died at Bath, where he had come for the recovery of his wife's health, after a short illness, on the 22d of June last, in the 37th year of his age, (see p. 657). He was early initiated in the severest services of the navy. As a midshipman, he was engaged at the batle of the Nile; as a Lieutenant he displayed so much skill and bravery at the battle of Algesiras, that the gallant Commander in that memorable action, Sir James Saumarez, sent him home with his dispatches. On several other occasions he showed such proofs of his valour and judgment, that he was considered as one of the best officers in the navy. After the Peace he employed himself, in imitation of his father, in promoting the prosperity of his native island of Jersey, by every act of public and private beneficence. He has left a widow, two sons and a daughter.

MAJOR ALEXANDER CAMPBELL.

At the Goverument- house, Weedon, aged 42, Alexander Campbell, esq. Major (commanding) Royal Artillery. In this "honest man," the service has lost a gallant soldier and able officer; society, an honourable, estimable member; his associates, a loved, respected companion; an only sister, her fraternal protector; his infant child, a tender parent and exemplary guide; an aged, bereaved mother, her pride, hope, and fondly-attached son; his lamenting widowed wife, her friend, husband, all:— their loss is irreparable: he lived beloved, and died lamented. Major Campbell was the surviving son of the late Major A. Campbell, a distinguished officer, who fell at the conclusion of the American war, 1782; maternally and paternally descended from an ancient Highland clan, and es'ated family in Argyleshire, N.B. the Campbells of Barcaldine, a race not unknown to fame. He was educated at the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich; entered the Artillery, 1794; was immediately sent to the West Indies, where he continued some years; served in Holland under the Duke of York, 1795; again in the West Indies; at Walcheren, in 1909; and latterly, on the Peninsula. His constitution was in

jured, and his life shortened, by severe service and baneful climes. In 1810 be married, at Northwich, Constance, the daughter of the late Francis Gostling, esq. of Colessy Wood, Norfolk, by whom he has left issue an only son and heir, Alexander Francis, born January, 1816.

Mr. F. W. BLAGDON.

Lately. In his 42d year, Mr. F. W. Blagdon, an active and laborious writer. for the press, and some time co-editor of the Morning Post newspaper. He began his career as a horn-boy to vend the Sun newspaper, whenever it contained extraordinary news; then became amanuensis to the late Dr. Willich, under whom he studied the German and French languages; and afterwards set up for himself as editor of a monthly volume of translated Travels. He soon after ap peared as editor of an annual volume, called the Flowers of Literature, and as conductor of a newspaper, called the Phoenix, and of another, in opposition to Cobbett. But as none of these, nor other projects, would provide for - a growing family, he latterly lived on a salary derived from assisting in the management of the Morning Post. Incessant care undermined his constitution, and he sunk under a general decline. His connexions and immediate interests led him to sup port the administration and measures of the day; but, in his private character, he was amiable, ingenuous, and benevolent. A subscription has been opened for his destitute widow and family.

The deceased replied, that he was very ill, and begged the coachman to drive him to his family doctor, who lived in the neighbourhood; which he accordingly did, but the doctor was not at home. The deceased then requested the

coachman to drive him to his own house in Sherrard-street. On the arrival of the coach at the deceased's house, the coachman knocked at the door; Mrs. Wilson came out; when the coachman told her that a gentleman was in his coach extremely ill.

About 18 months before, the deceased broke his arm at play in the same chamber.

At Ipswich, after a lingering illness, borne with great resignation and fortitude, aged 47, Mr. Henry Pite, shoemaker, and organist at the Unitarian Meeting in St. Nicholas-street, in that town.
