THOMAS EARL of SELKIRK, Lord Lieutenant of the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, died in France on the 8th April, in the 49th year of his age. severance. To This amiable and accomplished nobleman expired on the evening of the 8th April, at Pau, in the south of France, where he had spent the winter, labouring under a mortal disease, which has, at length, deprived society of one of its most distinguished members. Few men were possessed of higher powers of mind, or capable of applying them with more indefatigable perHis Treatise on Emigration has long been considered as a standard work, and as having exhausted one of the most difficult subjects in the science of political economy. His Lordship is also advantageously known to the public as the author of some other literary productions, all of them remarkable for the enlargement and liberality of their views, the luminous perspicuity of their statements, and that severe and patient spirit of induction which delights in the pursuit, and is generally successful in the discovery, of truth. his friends, the death of this beloved and eminent person is a loss which nothing can repair. His gentle and condescending manners wound themselves round the hearts of those admitted to his society, and conciliated an attachment which every fresh interWith those conview served to confirm. nected with him by the ties of kindred, and the sweet relations of domestic society, his Lordship lived in terms of the most affectionate endearment. Indeed, seldom has there existed a family, the members of which were more tenderly attached to each other than that of which his Lordship was the head, and few families have experienced a more severe succession of those trials, by which the Almighty chastens the hearts, and disciplines the virtues, of his creatures. His Lordship was eminently exemplary in the discharge of every social and private duty. He was a considerate and indulgent landlord, a kind and gracious master; to the poor a generous benefactor, and of every public improvement a judicious and liberal patron. The latter years of the life of this lamented nobleman were employed in the establishment of an extensive colony in the In the western parts of British America. prosecution of this favourite object, he had encountered obstacles of the most unexpected and formidable charaeter. With these, however, he was admirably qualified to contend; as to the counsels of enlightened philosophy and an immoveable firmness of purpose, he added the most complete habits of business and a perfect knowledge of affairs. The obstructions he met with served only to stimulate him to increased exertion, and after an arduous struggle with a powerful confederacy, which had arrayed itself against him,and which would, long ere now, have subdued any other adversary, he had the satisfaction to know, that he had finally succeeded in founding an industrious and thriving community. It has now struck deep root in the soil, and is competent, from its own internal resources, to per petuate itself, and to extend the blessings of civilization to those remote and boundless regions. His Lordship was the youngest of five sons (all of whom attained to manhood) of Dunbar, 4th Earl of Selkirk, who died in In the latter end of 1807, he mar1799. ried Jane, daughter of James Wedderburn Colville, Esq. by whom he has left one son, now Earl of Selkirk, born in 1809, and two daughters. Her Ladyship accompanied the Earl to North America, and afterwards to France, and continued, with painful and unwearied assiduity, to administer, till the last hour of his life, those kind and soothing attentions which wealth can neither purchase nor reward. We trust we may be permitted to hope, that this noble lady will soon return to St Mary's Isle, and rear her young and interesting family, in habits of attachment to their paternal seat, adorning the surrounding society by the lustre of her rank, and edifying it by the example of her virtues. We understand that the mortal remains of this excellent man are to be interred in the Protestant burying-ground at Pau. BIRTHS, MARRIAGES, DEATHS. BIRTHS. 9.
