and drew a most curious and ingenious map, giving ' names of his own invention to the principal cities, mountains, rivers, &c: And as learning was al ways the object} - of his highest resped, he endowed it most liberally with universities, to which he a t ). pointed professors by name, with numerous statutes and regulations, which.would hate reflected no dis grace on graver, founders. But though in the progress of his short life he was continually employed in laying up stores of 'knowledge, apparently for purposes which, the event proved, were never to befiigaled, his last illness, which he supported with a patience and for titude almost 'unexampled, amply evinced that he knew how to, apply the treasures he had acquired to the solace and relief of his own ,mind, under cir cumstances of trial and suffering. He frequently beguiled the tedious hours. of a sick-bed with. the recolleCtion of what he had read, seen, or done, _in the days of health; and little points, of interest or information which might have been supposed to have made a transient impression, wete as much present to his mind as when they first engaged his attention.. When a blister had been applied to his stomach, be observed, that-from the appearance of it, he . sup posed it corresponded with what he had ,seen, tilled ; a cataplasm ; and one day, when he was, at. the worst, he desired to know the meaning .of the phrase, " a still-born child," which he had- once stew in. an inscription on a tomb -stone, though lie said the inscription itself was too poor to be worth remembering. - He_often talked of the period 9f his recovery, but never with- impatience ; and the triumph of mind over body continued so complete to the last', that helooked with interest, and plea, sure at his dissedod - maps. within half, an hour of his dissolution. Without entering with unnecessary Minuteness into the nature of his disorder, it will be interesting to parents in general to be informed, that it afforded no confirmation of the common idea, that early expansion of intelleft is unfavour_ able to the continuance of life._ In consequence of the remarkable, form of his head,. which had been admired, especially by Artists, .some doubts had been suggested, that rendered _it desirable to have the head as well as the body - examined. From the result of this investigation it appeared, that the brain was unusually large, and in the -most perfect and healthy state : that the disorder, as it vas uai forinly considered to have been, was-in the stomach, and had received all the relief that medical skill and _ the most anxious attention could afford ; and that - there was more than ordinary probability, from the vigour of his constitution, and the well-proportion ed formation of his body, of- his arriving at man_ hood, but for one of those accidents in the system, to which the old and young, the healthy, and:infirm,' are equally exposed. His illness lasted from the first to the thirty-first of July ; a period. which, under such severe suffer ings, none bur a naturally strong patient could have reached. .On the morning of ,the thirty-first his • medical friends, Dr. Lister and Mr. Toulmin s saw him, and conversed with him, as he. with 'them, after their usual manner: and thotigh they had given little dr ristsencouragement for Many days, they did nots cn their - last visit, such was the colleded state of his mind, and'stren'gth of his — spirits, apptegatul: his dissolution to be so near. Soon after ' eleven o'clock he appeared much exhausted; his breathing became very diflienit," arid his Voice, -which 'through his illness had been strong arid clear, began to footer, Still, however, he was firm and coniposed,- vvithciur the slightest appearance of dissatisfadion or alarm : he talked at intervals with theinost perfed consis-. tency—with his accustomed poWers, and usual kind ness for those about him, till he could no longer utter a' sound. In a few Minutes after he had ceased to articulate, and a little before' twelve o'clock, be sunk without a struggle or agrban; 'exciting More admiration under circumstances froM which human nature is apt to revolt, than when in the full career of mental and bodily improt‘iMent. His age was six years and ninemonthss • Thus ends this short history 9f a . child, whose mind,. though his years,were few, seemed to have •, arrived at Maturity. His powers of understanding, of memory, of imagination, -were all remarkable"; and the reasonableness of his mind was. such, that he always yielded his own to the wishes of his friends, as much from conviction as compliance : his dispo sitions were as generous and amiable, as his talents were brilliant and universal arid there can be little doubt; that in after-life, whether lie' had devoted the powers of his mind.to the fine ails, to belles lettres; 'or to the severer studies, his success would have been dire-eminent, and would have placeditim, in the estimation of the wise, whatever might have been his external condition, high in the catalogue of worthy and useful members of society'. BIOGRATHY. AQCC VITT° ITHOMAS W I ANIS MALKIN, A CHILD OF EXTRAORDINARY . ATTAIIseeNTS, WHO LATE- Ll,f DIED Al: HACKVEY. T,IiOMAS WI LI I ANIS' MALKIN, the uncommon chifEwhose early fate we have to lament, possessed • attati:tievrs that may excite' surprize, and posSihly ininds doubt. .Yerwe haVe well authenti, accounts of juvenile . proficiency; and "in the preSt!rit instance there are Many and most respeeta vv,igiesses,., to ff .ittes't that amiable aispositions slit erior talents Were never united ha a more disihiguiShed Manner, than in the subjea of this hicUra.phiCal sketch, His knowledge of the English lari*liage . was cotreB and copious ; and his expres, sion, whether .in speaking or writing, remarkable . as ;well for fo'i tiiity as seledion. In- the 'Latin he hail proceeded so far, as to read with ease the more pog. t liar. parts of Cicero's W:orks. ' He had made sogae progress : io French ; and was so thorough a prOcietit in ,geography, as. not only to be able, ivlienquestioned, to partkularize the . situation of thel,i.Hrincipal countries, cities, rivers, &c. but to drk, reps from ,memory, viith a neatness and ac.' curaCy, whiekwould scarcely be credited but by th6 ; . e . viio.are in possession of the specimens. Vilchout- any professional. assistance, lie had ae quired.considerable execution in -the - -art 'of draw. ing ; and some of his copies from Raphael's heads,i thougg 'wanting the, precision . of the Acadeniy Stu. dents, evinced a fellow_fl'eling with the stile and sentitnent of" the originals, which seethed 'likely, had -be pursued it, to have ranked him with the more eminent profess Ors of the art. ; • .But the most striking feature in his charaaer was a strength of intellea, and-rapidity of comprehen sion on all subjeds, independent ; of thbse to which his . studies . were immediately- dire&ed, . which, in. creing with his growth, seemed .likely in man,. hood to have more within his reach than -it usually falls to the lot of humanity to grasp at. He.united, irra remarkable manner,: the solid and the brilliant ; for the. powers of his memory kept pace with those of his understanding and imagination ; and . the cha ratter,of his mind may be comprised in these few but comprehensive words—that he remembered what ever he had once known, and could do whatever he bad once seen done. 'But it may not be uninteresting to particularize the periods of his short •life, at which the leading traits'a his charades first presented themselves to observation. He was familiar with the alphabet long before he could speak, _not only as exhibited on counters, a practice very judicious, because. very enticing to children, but as expressed in -books, to which, froln seeing , them constantly about him, he chewed a very early partiality. Ax the age of - three yearS, on his birthsday; he-wrote his first lets ter to his mother ; and though it contained nothing_ but short expressions of affedion, he soon afterwards began to write in a style and on subjeds to which childhood in general is 'a total stranger : and this pradic7e of writing Isis sentiments on all subjects he persevered in.with a conti&isllY increasing expansion and ieiprov4thent, both as to matter and manner. . At the time of which we are speaking, three years old; he' could not only read and spell with unfailing siecuraev, but knew the Greek - charaders, and would have attenspted ,the language, had not the caution of his parebts, in This instance, discouraged the for wardness of his inclination. When he was five, he - had made cnnsiderable advances in Latin, as well as in all -the other studies Which - he pursued ; so success_ fully for nearly two years :longer. His study of Elan in particular was far removed from that mechas nical routine, by which scholars of more advanced al;:e too 'frequently proceed. His comparison of the idiom and construdion with those of his own and the French 'language, 'his acuteness in trac,ing - the etyninlogy, and detecting the-component parts of wards, hunting them through English and French, and inquiring the forms they assumed in Greek and Italian, with whichhe was acquainted, proved him to' have possessed's mind peculiarly calculated for philological inquiries. Nor was his attention:cons fined'to words : he never passed over any passage, the style or ,subjed - of which was obscure or diffi.: cult, without such an explanation as satisfied' his dodbts : ,nor did he- ever suffer, errors of the Press, even the trifling ones of punanation, to escape, without detecting and . correeling them with a pencil he kept for the purpose. Notwithstanding these stu dious inclinations, he was a child of 'manly, corpo-- . real structure, of unusual liveliness and aftivitY. He was by no means grave in -his -disposition, except in the pursuit of knowledge, from which, however, etiVe sports were generally successful in detaching : - but - the bane of all improvement, both of mind and body,',inddlence, and the, habit of loung ing, were totally excluded frow the catalogue of his pleasures. • But as mere description, unassisted by anecdote, sellOm conveys a lively and 'accurate idea of cha tader; it will not, we hope ; be thought imperti nent to mention an observation or two, which may 'serve to illustrate the turn of his mind. On being told by a Lady „that she would send for him the fol lowing day; when he . should draw as-much as he pleased; " I wish -to-morrow, would come direeL : ty." -After's short pa6e,, he added, " Where can to-morrow be now ? It must be somewhere; for every thing is in some place." After a little fur ther reflection, he said, " Perhaps tomorrow is in the sun." On meeting the following aphorism— Learning is not so much esteemed by wise men, is' despised by fools ;" he . said, " I think the 4 3 1 . --who ;Wote that sentence , was himself very persos for svi4e Men 'esteem learning a 4 much as f3bli s b > , nd fools cannot despise it more." —ible , ' -Ist singular i . nstapce . in which he dis_ B i ut the rt, v of mmination, united with the played ferttlit. zeveridirng he met with in books power of makins was his invention of an and conversation, called A T I ~r , e ) f es ne,. f which- he Iroagill'Y • It resembled •ttopia, ebrititleeetthitnseit' as everlse ar , d of that eelebrited politi:. 01 Roman ce. th i s c ,-snstry . .he:rote the nistory, t,•" A CAUTlON.—Several forged - Bilis of Exchange'. have been lately passed by a person under , the names of George Bennett and Joseph Barker, jun. at Cambridge, Lynn, Sze.

He sprang forward, snatched-froth the wtirnan's, hand the bread and, water, that last necessary of "life which pity hid given to misfor tune, "Stop," cried he, she has lost her honour ; she has .wounded mine ; this :child is my shame ; it is the son. of guilt."
