DEATHS.

Dec. 13, 1823. At Calcutta, John Calman, Esq. late of Pittenweem, Fifeshire.

April 19, 1824. At Missolonghi in Greece, after an illness of ten days, George Gordon, Lord Byron, in the 37th year of his age; who has so long and so amply filled the highest place in the public eye. On the 9th of April, he had exposed himself in a violent rain; the consequence of which was a severe cold, and he was immediately confined to bed. The low state to which he had been reduced by previous illness made him unwilling to be bled, and the inflammatory action, unchecked, terminated fatally on the 19th April. The following is a translation of the Proclamation which was issued by the Greek Authorities at Missolonghi, to the grief of its inhabitants, who were thus arrested in the celebration of their Easter festivities:

"Provisional Government of Greece.-The present days of festivity are converted into days of bitter lamentation for all: Lord Byron departed this life to-day, about eleven o'clock in the evening, in consequence of a rheumatic inflammatory fever, which lasted for ten days. During the time of his illness, your general anxiety evinced the profound sorrow that pervaded your hearts. All classes, without distinction of sex or age, oppressed by grief, entirely forgot the days of Easter. The death of this illustrious personage is certainly a most calamitous event for all Greece, and still more lamentable for this city, to which he was eminently partial, of which he became a citizen, and of the dangers of which he was determined personally to partake, when circumstances should require it. His munificent donations to this community are before the eyes of every one; and no one amongst us ever ceased, or ever will cease, to consider him, with the purest and most grateful sentiments, our benefactor. Until the disposition of the National Government regarding this most calamitous event be known, by virtue of the Decree of the Legislature No. 314, of date the 15th October,

"It is ordained,-1. To-morrow, by sun-rise, thirty-seven minute-guns shall be fired from the batteries of this town, equal to the number of years of the deceased personage.-2. All public offices, including all courts of justice, shall be shut for the three following days.-3. All shops, except those for provisions and medicines, shall also be kept shut; and all sorts of musical instruments, all dances customary in these days, all sorts of festivities and merriment in the public taverns, and every other sort of public amusement, shall cease during the above-named period.-4. A general mourning shall take place for twenty-one days.; -5. Funeral ceremonies shall be performed in all the churches."

The Greeks have requested and obtained the heart of Lord Byron, which will be placed in a mausoleum in the country, the liberation of which' was his last wish. His body will brought to England. His lordship leaves one daughter, a minor.
