willed a handsome one to Admiral Sir Thomas Boulden Thompson,

P. 136. We take the earliest possible opportunity of counteracting the injurious effects of a misinformation, with respect to a gentleman of a most blameless and exalted character. We have been informed that he was not related to the celebrated Bishop mentioned in Our last Magazine; and that he certainly never was a Scotch clergyman, but in reality that he, and his father before him, and all the family, were Dissenters from the Scotch Establishment, and uniformly of the Episcopal persuasion; and above all, that it was a most injurious insinuation, that he was deeply infected with infidel principles, or ever so much as suspected of infidelity by any one who knew him in the large town in which he lived, respected, and most respectable, as a firm believer in Christianity; as can and may be well ascertained by the surviving son of the worthy minister Dr.Gordon, who is a worthy minister at present in the Established Church of this Kingdom, and by Dr. Gordon's successor in the Episcopal Chapel of Aberdeen, now an eminent minister in an Episcopal Church of this Metropolis.

He was also present at the siege and reduction of Buenos Ayres, on the East Coast of South America-and he had to boast of what falls not to the lot of many; namely, that in the short space of a year and six months, he bore, as Ensign, the British standard through the four quarters of the Globe.

29. At Boston, Lincolnshire, aged 58, Samuel Barnard, esq. a truly respectable merchant of that place. To enlarge on his undeviating integrity, his uprightness of character, and extensive benevolence, would neither suit the limits of this article, nor the unobtrusive virtues and primitive simplicity of the deceased; yet to pass over in silence those Christian qualifications, which so peculiarly charactized this excellent man, would be equally unjust to the living and the dead; and every one who, like the writer of these lines, has witness<ed the constant yet unostentatious piety, the edifying examples, and earnest devotion which Mr. Barnard's family exhibited, must acknowledge them with gratitude. Like the good Cornelius, he served God with all his house; and his paternal care was extended to the salvation of every member who composed it, while those principles which he instilled into the minds of others, always regulated his own in every relation of life. He has left one daughter and five sons, who are worthy to be the children of so good a father. Unlike many parents who wait to bestow their wealth till the grave deprives them of the use of it, he had the satisfaction of placing his four elder sons in situations, suitable to his generosity and tenderness; and had Heaven spared him but a little longer, the youngest also would have been settled in a manner equally advantageous. His memory will long be dear in the circle of his friends may his example extend beyond it! His remains were interred on Aug. 4, in the burial-ground of the General Baptist Society at Boston, followed to the grave by his sons and a long train of mourning friends, who attended the following afternoon at the Chapel to hear an impressive funeral discourse delivered by the Rev.
