yet received any particulars relatting to the precise time, or to the particular disease, which deprived the world of so bright an example of military virtue as the late Hetman Platoff. But we know, from unquestionable authority, that he was in a declining state so early in the last year as September. About that time we were informed from Teherkash, that his Excellency was then far from well. The fatigues of the campaign of the year 1812 began to manifest their effects after the stimulus of martial ardour and that of travelling had subsided; the state of exhaustion was, in proportion, extreme; and he laid himself upon his bed of thickly-gatherd laurels, to rest, and to find refreshment; but the attempt was in vain. Nature had been over-tasked,—and he sleeps in death.

We must all remember this hero of the Don, pursuing the enemies of his country like the blast of the desert." We must all remember him in his visit to England, mild of aspect, and gentle in manners-more like the Patriarch of his people than the Champion of nations, winged with the energy of youth in its primest vigour. Only a few months have intervened between the death of this venerable Chief of the Cossacks; venerable in years and in honours; and the death of Alexander Prince Scherbattoff, his Second in command, a man in the meridian of his days, and of his comprehensive services to Russia, who had also to date the germs of his fatal illness from the victorious fields of 1812. These two illustrious warriors had the satisfaction of sharing, side by side, the dangers and the glories of that campaign. They have both died victims to its severity, and both will have a tomb in every brave heart, a memorial that must exist when marble monu ments are no more.

But the reputation of a consummate Gene ral was not the only excellence in the charac ter of the Hetman of the Cossacks. During the investment of the invader's territory by the allied troops, and their consequent inroads upon the French country, he heard that, near one of the spots destined for pillage, might be found the residence of Thaddeus Kosciusko, late General of the Poles, who lived there in the occupation and seclusion of a peasant. Platoff dispatched a party of his Cossacks to protect the person and the property of that great man, once the adversary of three invading Sovereigns, but now, even more illustrious in his obscurity and helplessness, than when at the head of hus Sarmatian troops. Kosciusko and Platoff met; it was the embrace of two brave hearts, as honest as brave. Such hearts are well un derstood in England. When Platoff related the incident to the parrator of this paragraph, it was with more than one tear in his eye; and precions are the tears which are drawn by the admiration of virtue. He knew how to value Kosciusko; for he knew

that he had not only defended his country against a press of foreign usurpation, but had refused wealth from the late Emperor Paul, and twice rejected the throne of Poland, from Napolean Buonaparte. Rather that receive a pension from the enemy of his coun try, or be the crowned satellite of any em peror upon earth, he retired to a miserable village in France, and fed himself on bread and water by the labour of his bands. If thi be not honest patriotism, where is it to be found? He, too, is in his grave. Nay, let us as Christians, hope that he has rejoined the heroes who were his personal friends, if his political enemies, in another and a bette world.

The funeral was simple, attended only by a very few intimate friends, among whom were some of the committee of the Pitt Club, of which the departed Gentleman was honorary secretary, a due tribute to his memory, as the impartial biographer of our immortal statesman. Mr. Gifford has left a widow and seven children; and, therefore, as his works in defence of loyalty and the true principles of our unri valled constitution are well known and much admired, we trust that government will not neglect the family of so able an advocate, and so strenuous a supporter.

ADDITIONS. PAGE 171.

James Alleyne Hendy, M.D. son of the late Dr. Hendy, of Barbadoes. In the death of whom we are led to contemplate the sad vicissitudes of life, and to say with the poet "There's nothing here but what as nothing weighs;

The more our joy, the more we know it vain, And by success are tutor❜d to despair"

as well as to acknowledge that his early removal from a life marked with many trying domestic afflictions, and much bodily sufferings, that, "though to him to die was gain," yet that those who knew him, must lament, in his loss, that of a man endowed with the most brilliant talents, added to a perspicuity beyond that generally allotted to man; with which was blended, an education of the most cultivated, as a private gentleman, and the most extensive as a physician, in which character be shone so eminently conspicuous, that we may give unto lum that honour which the scriptures enjoin, as, "Honour a physician with the honour due unto him, for the uses which you may have of him, for the Lord hath created him." And, though it pleased the Almighty to summons him in the prime of life from the prosecution of a profession in which he gloried, and to the discharge of the duties of which he added the most endearing, the most consolatory qualifications, of the friend, the soother, not only of the sufferer, in whose behalf he exerted the most unremitted energy of practice, chastened with the sundest judgment, but also of the surrounding relatives and friends,. to whose feelings he was most peculiarly

alive; yet had he lived long enough to verify that "the skill of the physician shall lift up his head, and in the sight of men he shall be in admiration." For many years he struggled under the mortifying pressure, to a mind like his, of talents, as it were, lying dormant, though early calculated to have. shone forth;. yet did those talents aud superior qualifications, notwithstanding every dis advantageous circumstance, within the last few years, rise superior to every barrier that was opposed to their progress; and he has died rich in the estimation and respect of a large and extensive circle of friends and connexions, by whom he is considered as a public loss, as well as to that science in which he delighted to communicate his extensive knowledge. The sad task of attending the sick and dying beds of many of his dearest connexions, independent of the loss of his only son and eldest daughter, whose pecaliarity of early perfection can only be marked by saying she seemed heaven-born from her cradle; added to excessive fagging in his profession, with a mind fraught with too keen sensibility, for a frame at all times delicate, brought him into a most dangerous state of health, in the autumn of 1816, which obliged him to recede from business for some time; but the kind and skilful exertions of some of the most eminent of the profession, who honoured him with their sincere regard and friendship, restored him to that degree of health which enabled him to resume his arduous duties in the end of December, 1816, and which he pursued, though soon after again attacked. by disease, in a most formidable aspect (which he bore with unparralleled fortitude), uli within three weeks› of the termination of all his earthly sufferings, all his earthly solicitudes; which were greatly aggravated by the reflection, that after struggling for 14 years, and beginning. to reap the rewards of his arduous toils, he was cut off from the bright prospects which awaited him, and denied the food delight of providing for his wife and family; who, by his death, add to the daily distressing examples of the instability of all human expecia tions.

MONGST those minor" Miseries of

Human Life" to which, as Magazine Editors, we are peculiarly liable, one of the most frequent is, that contemptible annoyance of vulgar scribbling, which visits us in the shape of anonymous scurrility, where the pert ignorance of a weak head, or the undisguised malevolence of a base heart, is scattered through an unintelligible jargon, guiltless of a meaning, and is trans. mitted in communications, whose sole wit consists in leaving us to pay the postage!Happily, however, though under some obli

gation to peruse these brainless absurdities, we are not compelled to understand them, and it may perhaps spare the writers of such ribaldry a very considerable degree of unnecessary labour to be informed, that the postage of such letters is invariably return ed, upon returning them to the Post Office.

We are obliged, from unavoidable circumstances, to defer the continuation of our Parliamentary Journal and University Intelligence till our next.

I. S. jun, inadmissable.
