ADMISSION TICKETS TO THE INTERNATIONAL Ex-
iiiiirriew.—Some surprise and dissatisfaction have been ex-
cited by the intimation that the local commissioners will be
called upon to pay on every occasion for access to the Ex-
hibition. Considering the immense expenditure of time and
trouble by many of the local commissioners in securing the
success of the Exhibition, we do think that the very least
acknowledgment of their services that could, in common
gratitude, be made, would be free tickets of access on all oc-
casions. Besides remonstrances to this effect, we have had
suggestions from correspondents that it would be a graceful
act of politeness to present asTon ticket to each of the 248
designers of plans for the Building.—Builder.

lEATH OF DR. KENNEDY.
(From the Invernesg Courier.)
This highly-gifted and deeply-lamented man died at
Fort William on Wednesday, the 12th inst., at four
o'clock in the morning. He was in the prime of life, and
until a few days ago he was in the et:] iyment of the
highest health. But having caught tee !ins foster telille
in the discharge of his professional duty, he sunk r s
pittly under it, nitwit hstendieg the closest eve- etel at-
tention bestowed on him by Drs. Cameron and Crichton,
who were aided by Dr Ilurst. His death has net. only
mussed a blank in the district a h ieh we do not expect to
450 filled up, but it has create I a ilseo an-1 solemn ins-
nrossio,a ate' called forth grief an f sorrow such as see
never hi-fore witnessed in this quarter. On Tuesdsy
morning-, alien, fos the first time, the belief tiett Pr.
Kennedy was in imminent danger generally spread,
soups of deeply-anxious persons might he seen every-
where throughout the town—his case forming the all-en-
grossing subj.,ct of discussion. As the day advanced the
anxiety increased. When nieht came on, and his medical
attendants pronounced his Caa3 hopeless, scores of people
crowded the space before his house " hoping against
hope," and watching with breathless eagerness for
every fresh report concerning him. Oil men, .women,
and children—bareheaded and barefooted children—
stood throughout the cold February night bef To his
door; and many parties who had travelled twelve or
fourteen miles from the surrounding country were seen
hurrying anxiously forward to the centre of such painful
and absorbing interest. When at length the aad an-
nouncement was made—that the dreaded separation had
taken place—men wept and wailed as if bereaved of
their nearest and their dearest. Tho "poetess of the
affections," notwithstanding she herself had drunk so
deeply and frequently of the cup of sorrow, says—
" Talk not of grief, till thou hest seen
• The tears of warlike men."
Grief thus attested, is felt and expressed for Dr. Ken-
nedy. We have seen strong men and old men shedding
tears at the mention of his name. Few can pronounce
it without visible emotion; while a subdued and awe-
struck air pervades the district 'generally. Nor will
those who knew the very high worth of the departed
wonder at the depth or intensity of the sorrow felt for
him. All who were acquainted with bins will join in
the words of Horace regarding Quintilius—
" Quis desiderio sit pudor, ant modus
Tam earl eapitis?"
and we may well add—
" Cui Pudor, et Justitiae sorer
Incorrupta Fides, nudaque Veritas
Quando ullum inveniet parem?
Multis ille bonis flebilis occidit."
Dr. Kennedy's character presented a union of various
excellencies rarely ever combined in one individual—of
qualities well fitted to command both esteem and aff,c-
don, and which qualified him in a singular manner for
the varied and arduous duties of his profession in an ex-
tensive, a rugged, and a poor Highland district. Great
strength, decision, and energy of purpose were seen joined
to remarkable mildness, quietness, and patience of man-
ner. His distinguishing characteristic, however, might
be said to be true manliness. He was " every inch a
man"—firm, upright, truthful, independent, and singu-
larly generous—utterly abhorrent of all that was selfish
or interested. At the same time, he possessed great
depth and warmth of affection, which made him a ten-
der as well as a true friend. His sympathy with suf-
fering was very strong, and his benevolence untiring.
This, we may remark, was vividly expressed in his
countenance, which bore the look of bland benignity,
the very smile of which frequently acted as a cordial
to the. patient on his sick bed. His professional skill
was deservedly held in tho highest estimation, and his
sound judgment rendered his advice always valuable. So
widely was his fame known, that patients from distant
counties frequently came to consult him. We must not
omit his kindliness, his beneficence to the poor. Inti-
mately acquainted with their language and their habits,
he could enter fully into their circumstances; possessed
of an uncommonly strong
,athletic frame, he could en-
dere an almost incredible amount of toil and hardship;
and, whether it was at morn or at midnight that he was
called, he cheerfully went forth to relieve their suffer-
ings after travelling long and dreary distances without
prospect of fee or reward. Ho was here in an especial
manner " the strength of the needy and the dis-
tressed."
We may mention that it is proposed to raise a public
monument to him at Fort William—a tribute due to his
many excellencies. But whether this be done or not,
sure we are that his memory will long live embalmed
in many a heart, and we doubt not that " his record is
on high."
Dr. Kennedy was the third son of the late Mr. Angus
Kennedy, Lionachan, where the family have lived for
several generations. Ho was born in 1810, and was thus
in the 41st year of his ago. After completing his medi-
cal studies at Glasgow University, he commenced prac-
tice in Fort William, which he never left. He married
Miss Cameron, Camisky, who lives to Lament his less
Ile was medical cffieer to the parochial boards both of
Kilmallie and Kilmonivaig, and was an eider in the
Established Church. His remains were interred on
Saturday is the churchyard of the latter, his native
parish, and were followed by an immense concourse of
mourners. As the procession passed through Fort
William every shop was closed, and groups of females
in deep distress were seen collected in the village, and at
several places on the roadside. The funeral was more
numerously attended than any we have ever witnessed
in this part of the country—the computation varied from
1,200 to 1.500. The body was carried shoulder•high the
whole distance of ten miles. We have heard that al-
ready 150/. have been subscribed for a monument to him.
We cannot conclude this notice without expressing a
sincere wish that the solemn and even appalling spec-
tacle here presented to us may teach true wisdom mite
many. We have seen a " strong man in his strength"
suddenly cut off—a man in the full flush of manhood and
usefulness and fame struck down by the "arrow that
tlieth in darkness," and above all, a man who was so
often the means, under the hand of God, of warding off
death from others, thus himself so utterly powerless in
the grasp of death. We trust that this impressive lesson
may teach many the weakness of man at his best estate,
and lead them to seek strength and life in Him who, by
his marvellous death, purchased life eternal for us.
(From the Inverness Advertiser.)
DEATH OF W. KENNEDY, ESQ., M.D., FORT WIL-
LILSI.—It is with feelings of the deepest sorrow that
we have to announce the demise, of typhus fever, of
Dr. Kennedy, which took place at his house here on
Wednesday morning, the 12th current. This sad event
has cast a gloom over the whole district. Never did we
see so much anxiety displayed by the people of the vil-
lage as on the night of Tuesday, when high and low,
rich and poor might be seen in grouper around his
-dwelling, waiting for -any tidings which might be con-
veyed by the numerous messengers who called from
time to time, to learn, alas ! the saddening news, that
the doctor was getting weaker, and that there was no
hope of his recovery. In his last moments he was quite
calm and collected, and expired without a struggle. All
that medical skill could do was done. Besides Dr. Ca-
meron, who was in constant attendance, Dr. Crichton
was most attentive also; but the hour was come. lie is
gone, and an extensive district mourns his loss. It is the
doing of an all-wise Providence." 0 teach us so to number
our days that we may apply our hearts to wisdom." Tho
deceased was born at Loanachau, near Fort• William, on
the Bth July, 1810. After completing his studiesl and
taking his degree, he settled among us abaut seventeen
years ago. As fares the circle of his acquaintance extends,
it is unnecessary for us to say one word as to his supe-
rior medical skill, his benevolent disposition (which
made him the poor man's friend), his character as a man
or as a member of the Church, in which he was an office
bearer. All this is sufficiently attested by the following
remark, made in our hearing, by one who occupies the
highest place among us:—" I never know a more kind-
hearted man than Dr. Kennedy; his death will bo a
public calamity." The interment took place on Satur-
day. His remains were attended to their last resting
place, in the churchyard of Blarour, by a vast assemblage
from all parts of the country. The banks and all the
shops remained closed till the afternoon. The mournful
procession, which started about 11 o'clock, A. 31 , received
accessions to its numbers all along the road, and by the
time the burying-ground was reached the numbers ex-
ceeded a thousand. As a last mark of respect the body
was carried " shoulder high" for upwards of nine miles.
We are glad to state that everything was conducted in
the most orderly manner.
(The following account of the same gentleman is from
a Correspondent.)
This eminent surgeon and physician died here aud-
denly, on the 12th current, about four o'clock in the
morning. He was ill but a few days of typhus fever, it
is supposed caught in the discharge of his professional
duties as medical attendant on the poor. During the
last day of his valuable life, so intense was the interest
felt by the inhabitants of Fort William, that they col-
lected and remained in crowds on the square opposite his
residence, up to the hour when his death was announced
to them. Sorrow and sadness have come over every one,
for every one finds he has lost a generous and kind
friend. Dr. Kennedy was a universal favourite, both
from his kindness, bland manners, and medical skill ;
and the people of Lochaber and surrounding district look
upon his loss, in the prime of manhood, and in the height
of eminence in his profession, as a calamity beyond ex-
pression severe.
Saturday, the 15th current, was fixed for conveying
his respected remains to the churchyard at Blarour.
Every possible token of respect and regard to the me-
mory of the deceased was on this occasion shown by
his countrymen. All the public offices and shops were
shut; the cofffin was carried on a bier, shoulder high, a
distance of more than ten miles, accompanied by more
than 1,500 persons, all eager to do the last offices to ono
who was so dear to nil, and whose character as a man
and a physician all admired, and whom all will long con-
tinue to deplore. Not the least of those who will miss
him, will be the English families who reside in the coun-
try
during the season, with whom his was an especial
favourite.
