OZIAS HUMPHRY, Esa.-1t is with much regret
that we -announce the death of this Gentleman. He
died on Friday morning at his residence in Thorn-
!laugh-Street. As an artist he possessed great
genius, which he improved by
_the.utmost iissiduity,
• and an attentive study of the leest models. He first
_mile forward in the department of miniature, in
whit h be displayed ati extraordinary degree of skill
ancietaste, and,indeed was considered as at the head
oftliat provinceeol-the Arts. The road to atlitien:e'
' was then open to him, but he preferred the reputa-
tion
of excellence, io a liiilier deparonent, to- the
pecuniary success which might attend him in a
pursuit whicli beejustly consideted as•heneath his ;
talents, and went to Italy for the purpose of pre,
paringlairaself. for the province of, historical paint.
-ing, 'He yemaiued, some time at Rome, where he •
made exqeiSite copies IrOrn the greater masters,:
and produced otiginal works of conside:able merit.,
He then returned to this country, and had hill rear
son for sclieving that -he- should obtain that dis.
tittele)n and celebrity in the higher, order of- pore
trait painting,. and on. historical subjects, which he
,had ,so deservedly ecqpired in the province that

great father, of modern art; and by _other Men
of talents, who . had started .up- during his ab-
sence ; and- though a enan of , sudh genius as
„Hem F Hit Y. possessed, would, doubtless, soon
have reached, his proper height. in prolesiienal re-
pute, he either did not think it worth his while to
enter into a contention, or conceived that he should
soon obtain an independence where he could exert
his talents without the toil of competition. He.
therefore went to the East Indies, and• soon dbquir-
ed, if not affluence, a competency for the remainder
of his, life. Ott his.retgrn to this country, he was
unhappily attacked by a disorder in, his eyes, which
seemed ,to baffle all attempts to relieve it, and Wig-
eel him to give anew direeliou 4:1 :his talents, • and.
which .he could practise with less exertion of his
vicaal organs.. He then applied'himself to Crayon.

geneee sin d for which he h -el been se_ assidueusly qua"
lified, by study.---Mr. Humeri ne, even at the 'tithe
when It 'Was- evident that he would be obliged to
relinquish his profession, was so highly esteemed by
-his brother artistic that be. was admitted among- the
body' of 'Royal' Academicians. ,He was ' well ac-
quainted with life, and his Conversation was so well
seasoned by knowledge, ancedceer- and good •liu-
-tritur,. that- his company was courted by men of
'distinction, as well as by those on his own level,
amid he numbered among his intimate friends smithy
persons in the' higher sphere of society. Finally, :
