• **‘l"; THE LATE PROFESSOR PORSON. Tuesday last the remains of this pro rgy of leain ing were interred at Cambridge with academical ho nours, all the Members of the University having accompanied him to the grave. The following sketch of his life will be atzeptible to such of our Readers as are accustomed to regard a Scholar with becoming respect : Mr. Pontos: was born at East Ruston, in Norfolk, on Christmas day, 1759 ; so that he was only in his 49th year. His father, Mr. FIUGGIN PonsoN, who was parish clerk of East Ruston, and who, though in humble life, and without the advantages himself of early education, laid the basis of his son's unparallel ed acquirements. From the earliest dawn of intel lect, Mr. PORSON began the task of fixing the atten tion of his children, three sons and a daughter, and he had taught RICHARD, his eldest son, all the common rules of arithmetic, without the use of a hook or slate, pen or pencil, up to the cube root, before he was nine years of age. The memory was thus in cessantly exercised ; and by this early habit of work ing a question in arithmetic by the mind only, he ac quired such a talent of close and intense thinki: - .g, and such a power of arranging every operation that occu pied his thought, as in process of time to render the most difficult problems, which to other men re quired the assist.:nce of written figures, easy to the retentive faculties of his memory. He was initiated in letters by a process equally efficacious. His father taught him to read and write at one and the same time. He drew the form of the letter either with chalk on a board, or with the finger in sand ;—and Rumann was made at once to understand and imi tate the impression. As soon as he could speak he could trace the letters ; and this exercise delighting hit fancy, an ardour of imitating whatever was put before him was excited to such a degree that the walls of the house were covered with characters which attracted notice, from their neatness and fidelity of delineation. At nine years of age, he and his youngest brother, Thomas, were sent to the village school, kept by a Mr. Sestmens, a plain but most intelligent and wor thy man, who having had the misfortune in infancy to cripple his left hand, was educated for the purpose of teaching, and he discharged his duties with the most examplary attention. He professed nothing be: yond English, writing, and arithmetic—bat he was a good accountant, and an excellent writing master. He perfected the Professor in that delightful talent of penmanship, in which he so peculiarly excelled ; but which we are doubtful whether to consider as an ad vantage or a detriment to him in his progress through life. It certainly had a considerable influence on his habits, and made him devote many precious mo ments to copying, which might have been better em ployed in composition. It has been the means, how ever, of enriching his library with annotations, with such perfect imitation of the original manuscript or printing, as to embellish every work which his erudi tion enabled him to elucidate. He continued under Mr. SUMMERS for three years ; and every evening during that time he had to repeat by heart to his fa ther the lessons and the tasks of the day ; and this not in a loose or desultory manner, but in the rigorous order in which whatever he had been occupied ahput had been done ; and thus again the process of recol lection was cherished and strengthened, so as to be come a quality of his mind. It was impossible that such a youth should remain unnoticed, even in a place so thinly peopled, and so obscure as the parish of East Ruston. The Rev. Mr. Pisiwarr heard of his extraordinary propensities to study, his gift of at tention to whatever was taught him, and the wonder ful fidelity with which he retained whatever he had acquired. He took him and his brother THOMAS un der his care, and instructed them in the .classics. The progress of both was great, but that of RICHARD was most extraordinary. It became the topic of astonish ment beyond the district, and when he had reached his fourteenth year, had engaged the notice of all the Gentlemen 'n the vicinity. Among others he was mentioned as a prodigy to an opulent and liberal man, • the late Mr. Nou's, who, after having put the youth under an examination of the severest kind, and from which an ordinary boy would have shrunk dismayed, he was sent to Eton. This happened in the mouth of August, 177+, when he was in his 15th year : And in that great seminary, he almost, from the commencement of his career, displayed such a supe riority of intellect ; such facility of acquirement ; such quickness of perception, and such a talent of bringing tiirward to his purpose all that he had ever • read, that the upper boys took him into their society, and promoted the cultivation of his mind by their lessons, as well, probably, as by imposing upon him the performance of their own exercises. He se as courted by them as the never-failing resource in every difficulty ; and in all the playful excursions of the imagination, in their frolics, as well as in their seri ous tasks, Ponsox was the constant.adviser and sup port. Ile used to dwell on this lively part of his youth with peculiar complacency, and we have heard him repeat a drama which he wrote for exhibition in their Long Chamber, and other compositions, both of seriousness and drollery, with a zest that the re eorection of his enjoyment at the time never failed to vvive in him. The death of Mr. NORRIS was the source of severe erortification to him ; for though by the kindness of some eminent and liberal persons he was continued at Eton, he felt the loss he had sustained in the most poignant degree. He was entered of Trinity College towards the end of 1777, and his character having gone before him to the University, he was from the first regarded as a youtn whose extraordinary endow ments would keep up and extend the reputation of the unrivalled society into which he had entered.— Nor dial he disappoint the hopes that had been form ed of him. In every branch of study to which he a pplied himself, his course was so rapid as to asto nish every competent observer. By accident he was drawn first to read in mathematics, in which, from his carly exercises, be was so eminently cal culated to shine , but from which he drew no benefit ; and then by the prospect of a Scholar ,,;l) p, which, however, did not become vacant till long after, he sat down to the Classics. In this pur ,uit he soon acquired undisputed pre-eminence. He h •Ut the medal.of course, and was elected a Fellow in . - 7; 1. In 17f 4 5 he took his degree of Master of but long before the period h e ad elapsed when ha :~~ ~} I must either enter into holy orders or surrender hisrel lowship, he had after the most grave and deliberate investigation, to which he had brought all that acute ~i ft of examination that his been made so perceptible 'n his letters to Mr. Archdeacon TRAvis, made up his mind on the subject of subscription. We are sure that his determination cost him many .painful and la borious days and months of study. His heart and mind were deeply penetrated by the purest sentiments of religion; an 1 itw as a memorable and mostestimable feature of his character, that in no moment, the most unguarded ( when that ardour of discussion,which alone led him into indulgence, had elevated his spirits, was he ever known to utter a single expression of discontent at the establishment, of derision at those who thought differently from himself, much less of profanation or impiety. He was truly and actively pious—but it was of an order that admitted not of shackles. So early as 1788, he had made up his mind to surren der his Fellowship, though with an enfeebled consti tution he had nothing to depend upon but acquire ments that are very unprofitable to their owner. A Lay-fellowship to be sure might have secured his ser vices to the cause of letters ; but the disingenuous conduct of an individual withheld from him that re source. In 1791 his Fellowship ceased, and he was thrown upon the world without a profession, his feel ings wounded by the mortifications he had suffered, and with a constitution little qualified to encounter the bustle of the world. Some private friends, how ever, stept in, and soon after he was elected Greek Professor of Cambridge, by an unanimous vote of the seven Electors. The distinction of this appoint ment was grateful to him. The salary is but 401. a year. It was his earnest wish; however, to have made it as active and efficient office, and it was his determi nation to give an annual course of Lectures in the Col lege, if rooms had been assigned him for the purpose. These Lectures, as he designed, and had in truth made preparations for them, would have been invalu able ; for he would have found occasion to elucidate the languages in general, and to have displayed their relations, their differences, their near and re ' mote connections, their changes, their structure, their principles of etymology, and their causes of corruption. If any one man was qualified for this gigantic task, it was Mr. Professor PORSON ; and if his wishes had not been counteracted, we know that he would have undertaken the labour. From this time, instead of lectures, he turned his thoughts to publication. His letters to Mr. Arch deacon Mavis, as has been truly said,. put the con troversy on the disputed text to rest ; and indeed it was the peculiar felicity of his mind, that whatever he undertook to elucidate he fixed for ever in the light. In 1795 he married Mrs. LUNAN ; the sister of Mr. PERRY of the Morning Chroale, but who sunk under a decline in April I 797,and from that time the Professor himself was so incessantly afflicted with a spasmodic asthma, as to interrupt in every study to which he applied himself. Whether his sedentary habits served to bring it on we know not, but certainly very few men had accustomed themselves to such patient and continued toil. He had undertaken to make out and copy the almost obliterated manuscript of the invaluable Lexicon of Photius, which he had bor rowed front the Library of Trinity College. And this he had with unparalleled difficulty just cUmpleted, when the beautiful copy which had cost him ten months of incessant toil, was burnt in the house of Mr. PERRY ; at Merton. The original being an unique, entrusted to him by his College, he carried with him wherever he went ; and he was fortunately absent from Merton on the morning of the fire. Un ruffled by the loss, he sat down without a murmur, and made a second copy as beautiful as the first. It is extant in his library, and is quite ready for the press. Of the plays of Euripides, which he publish ed, the learned world has pronounced its judgment, and we reserve for another occasion, an account of this and his other literary labours. It may he plea sant for our Readers, however, to know, that he has left an Orestes quite ready for the press. On the establishment of the London Institution, the Managers selected him to be their principal Li brarian. With respect to the circumstances of his death; Mr. PORSON, as we have 'stated before, has, for the last eleven years, been the incessant victim of spasmodic asthma, during the agony of which he never went to bed, and in which he was forced to abstain front all sustenance. This greatly debilitated his body ; and about a month ago he was afflicted by an intermit tent fever ; he had an unfortunate objection to medi cal advice, and he resorted to his usual remedy of abstinence ; but on Monday, the 19th ult. he suf fered an apoplectic stroke, from which he recovered only to endure a second attack the next day. He languished to the Sunday night, and expired without a struggle. The body was opened by his medical men, and they have given a report, ascribing his death " to the effused lymph in and upon the brain, which they believe to have been the effect of recent inflammation. The heart was sound, and the teri cardium contained the usual quantity of lymph. The left lung had adhesions to the pleura, and bore the marks of former inflammation. The right lung was in a perfectly sound state." This is signad by Dr. BABINGTON, Sir WILLIAM BLIZA.RD, Mr. Nottais, Mr. BLIZARD ; and Mr. UPTON. In refutation of an idle falsehood about the form of his skull, they add, • " that it was thinner than usual, and of hard con sistence." ----- --- Mr. PORSON has left a sister, the wife of &pair HAWES, Esq. of coftisball, in Norfolk ; they have five children ; theii eldest son is entered of St. Ben'ets College, Cambridge. HENRI', the second brother of tke Professor, was settled in a farm in Eswx, and died young, leaving three children. His brother THOMAS kept a boarding school at Fakenleam, an ex cellent scholar, and died in 1792, without issue—and his father, Mr. HuGGIN PORSON, died in 1805, in his 7•fth year. His mother died in 1784, aged 57. Last week a melancholy accident happened at Wample, near Bootle, to Mr. Walters, the owner of a limekiln, that had been burning for some days ; whilst attempting to walk across it the chalk gave way be. neath, when he instantly sunk down, and, notwith. standing oneof his sons,who accompaniedh m,ran and al firmed some of the workmen, before they were able to reach the place to him any assistance, he was burnt to death.

MARLBOROVGII-STIIEF.T.—The Vestry-clerk of Pan cras Parish applied for authority to take possession ' of the effects of a French lady, wife of Count Butler, who h:td arrived in England during the horrors of the Revolution. The Count had enjoyed a pension front thus Government, but had returne d to France during the short interval of peace, in hopes of recovering part of his property ; and for sonic time his pension had been continued. The linigth, of his absence, the uncertainty of his return, and the embarrassment of the lady's circumstances, had, however, so far preyed • upon her mind, as to occasion a derangement of her' intellects, in a paroxysm of which she had attempted' to destroy her children. The Parish Officers were therefore induced to take the whole under their pro tection, and to remunerate themselves, made the pre sent application. In opposition to this, the Marquis de la Litre, as next heir to the family, had applied to tlr.; parish to have the children placed under his care, and to be entrusted with the property for their advan tage, and produced letters from the Bishop of An gouleme, and another French Bishop, fully accredit ing his pretensions. The Magistrate was' of opinion, that as no act of vagrancy appeared, the Officers were not warranted, under the Poor Laws, to take possession of the effects, and the parties withdrew, under an idea that the claim cif the Marquis de la Fain; would be acceded to. - - To.moßßow, foe rises.

At a convenient distance from the mansion is a comfortable farm-louse, with yard, barns, stables, and out-huildings, together with upwards of '224 acres of meadow, pasture, arable, and thriving wood land, laid out in the park style, and surrounded by park paling, ernbel lished with luxuriant plantations, and full grown timber, all in the most complete order, amply supplied with tine water, and fit for the immediate reception of a gentleman's family ; situate on Harefilkld Common, a fine, dry, heap hy, an d commanding sit nation, with extensive comma' rights.

On receiving an answer in the affirmative, he informed the lady that he had just come from Dublin, and was charged with letters and commis sions to her mother, from her brother, who is a Mili tary Gentleman, at present quartered in that city ; adding, that lie himse:f was a Captain in the same regirmnt. The lady expressed her gladness at hear ing the joyful news, and requested that he would do her mother and her the honour of dining with them on Monday, when he would have an opportunity of d:livering all his letters, &c. co her mother, who was teen out of town on a visit. After the usual ceremo ny of good bye, this son of Mars immediately pro ceeded to the Lady's residence, and having told the maid-servant a plausible tale, he was readily admit ted. Having remained alone in the house for up wards of half an hour, in expectation of the young lady's return, as he pretended, he called the servant, and informed her that he was under the necessity of making a call in another part of the town, but would certainly return to drink tea by six o'clock. He thus escaped without suspicion. But it may easily be ima gined how surprised and vexed the young lady was, to find, on ker return from her walk, that her military acquaintance had purloined from her mother's coffers a gold watch, and various articles of plate. —Every search to discover the swindler' has hitherto proved unavailable.
