DIED.

Lately, at Calais, Mr. HARTLEY, an aged and wealthy
English gentleman who had resided many years in France.
When a young man he had resided at Southampton, where he
had considerable property. Mortified by some domestic mis-
fortune, he locked up his house, furnished as it was, and went
abroad. From that time he never resided in it, and refused tb
let or sell it ; and there it stands in the Ilig,h-street, with a
dwarf brick wall and weeds and trees before it.' Some years
ago a disreputable fellow was seen on the roof, and, on investi-
gation, it was found that some thieves bad been living in the
house and were secretly carrying off the furniture. Mr. Hart-
ley owned a huge piece of ground near the Southampton rail-
way terminus, which lie refused to sell, although he might
have had a building price for it. The Itchen-bridge Company
took a portion by Act of Parliament, but he refused to accept
the price awarded, and the money remained in the bank into
which it was paid. The other portion is still a vegetable gar-
den, although all the surrounding land is built on and form
a small town. It was owing to the obstinacy of Mr. Hartley
in refusing to sell his garden that the original plan of the
streets near the terminus was altered, and that curious circular
street formed leading from the Railway-station to High-street.
Mr. -Hartley visited the town occasionally, but very privately,
as- -few of .its present inhabitants --ever saw or knew him.
Everybody imagined that he was a misanthrope, and that he
disliked both the people and the town. It appears, also, that
he was ostentatious of showing indifference to religion. Sin-
gular to say, after his death it was found by his will that he
desired to be buried in a London Wesleyan burying ground,
and that he bad bequeathed to the Corporation of Southamp-
ton certain property for the purpose of forming a library and
scientific institute in that town, which will amount, it is be-
lieved, to not less than £20,000 or £25,000.

F.R.S., The deceased gentleman was amongst those who*

Glasgow, and for many years a practitioner at the head of the
medical proft.ssion of the west of Scotland. He was the eldest
surviving son of the late Rev. Dr. Burns, of the barony parish
of Glasgow, who enjoyed the venerable title of "Father of the
Church of Scotland,' and was, in addition to many valuable
papers connected with medicine and surgery, the author of
several literary and theological works that bear a standard
reputation in our libraries. In 1815 he was appointed to the
Chair of Surgery in the University of Glasgow, which, of
course, brought him more immediately into contact with his
medical contemporaries abroad, and in consequence he tecame
associated with many of the first professors of surgery and
physic throughout Germany and Fiance. Dr. Burns, in fact,
enjoyed a European reputation, which will cause his melan-
choly fate to be felt and regretted by. many besides his
fellow-citizens. His eldest son is a major in the army, and
is now with his regiment in Ireland. He is the only sur-
vivor of the late professor's family, in which there were
many sad and sudden bereavements, the recollection of which
is again mournfully called up by his father's death in the way
described.
