OF this celebrated man, which took place,
or the l4th of March, in the S5th year OF
his age near Henley, upon the Thames, in
EogIand. A Londoa newspaper, announ'
cling his death, thus describes the man, who
filled in his day large space IN the pub
tic eye, but of whom little seems TO be
known 10 the present generation OF The
sons OF men:
This most extraordinary man stood at
one period OF his life on the very puma
Gle of triumphant glory. HIS teats as
warrior make up the most splendid pages
OF modern history MS name was charm
which gathered round il al the enthusiasm
OF millions 5u, he died IN exile, as IT the
contrast the clamorous noise OF popularity
whi:h accompanied his early career with
the calm stiffness at solitude which SUR
rounded his he'd OF death. His temper
was singularlv frank and generous; his
affections warm and cordial: bis CONVEX,
sation full of steugth and spirit, diversified
with variety OF knowledge, and a re.
srarkaole discrimination OF character.
HIS memoirs, which will ere long be pub
lished, will throw great light upon toe re-
cords Of these our eyenltrl days.

GOLD NINE.

The Cheraw IS. c. Iutelligencer of
the Sd inst. contains further partlcu.
lars ofthe gold mine. lately discovered
IN North Carolina. As the discovery
has led to many conflicting claims to
abe land, on which the treasure is sit9s
ated. il is said the lawyers at least will
reap golden harvest in the field of Ii
tigatioo. Col. Kerr, who IL one of the
proprietors of the mine, has informed
the editor OF the Intslligencer. that
there are already 50 hands ss work
that before autumn there will be from
$50 to 200 more employed; that four
workmen in two daysfound 20 penny
weights of gold, (eaual to D63 7O,)
which is about the average of their Ia
oour; tina. poor man lately found
single piece, which rendered him indie
pendent, being in value about Dl7oo.
The editor of the Intelligeucer is in
possession of several specimens of the
ore, which is said to be of uncommon
purity. The bed of the mine is from
one and half to two miles wide, and
forms part of vein which extends
from Deep to Savannah river.
