prime of life, at his residence in Chelsea, on Thurs.
day afternoon. He had been recently called to the
Bar, and had already given proofs that he would
have risen into high eminence in the profession. la.

various professional pursuits hastened, if it did rot
bring on, the disorder which put a period to his exis.
tence. As a classical scholar, and nervous and ele.
gant writer, he has left few equals. His letters under
the signature of ig Galgacus," first printed in the STAR,

tendency of the former was to rouse, while that of the
latter was to depress, the energies of the nation.
