communicated by him to Allan Cunningham, and hold a place in his last work, "The Life of Sir David Wilkie."

Very few men had greater versatility of imagination or power of satire; and few indeed could commit their overflowing thoughts more easily to paper, ready for the eye of the printer and the critic. There is a vast amount of his writings, both in poetry and prose, extant in the magazines of the day, as well as in the newspaper press of Scotland, particularly in that of Fife and Dumfries.

Dr. Gillespie was twice married, his former wife being a daughter of Dr. Hunter, already mentioned; and his second, who survives to lament his loss, a daughter of the late Rev. Dr. George Campbell, of Cupar- Fife, and sister of the Right Hon. Lord Campbell.

REV. H. F. CARY, M. A. Aug. 14. In Charlotte-st. Bloomsbury-sq. aged 72, the Rev. Henry Francis Cary, M.A. Vicar of Bromley Abbat's, Staffordshire, the translator of Dante, and late Assistant Librarian in the British Museum.

"An

Mr. Cary was a native of Birmingham. At the early age of 15 he published irregular Ode to General Elliott," and in the following year "Sonnets and Odes, 1788," 4to. When 18 he was entered as a Commoner of Christ Church, Oxford, where he proceeded to the degree of M.A. in 1796. In the following year he was presented to the vicarage of Bromley Abbat's (its yearly value 1877. with a residence) by the Marquess of Anglesey. While at Oxford he pursued his studies with unremitting diligence; and, not being shackled by the stringent rules of modern academical instruction, made himself conversant not only with the great authors of antiquity, but with almost the whole range of Italian, French, and English literature, as the notes to the first edition of the translation of Dante fully evidenced. In 1797 he produced an "Ode to General Kosciusko." In 1805 he published the "Inferno" of Dante in English blank verse, with the text of the original. His entire translation of the "Divina Commedia" appeared in 1814, but the work lay almost unnoticed for several years, until Samuel Taylor Coleridge, forming at the same time an acquaintance with the translator and his great work, drew

public attention to its merits; from that time the work has taken its place among our standard English authors. To this Mr. Cary afterwards added a translation of the "Birds" of Aristophanes, and of the "Odes" of Pindar. But, perhaps, the not least valuable part of his literary labours is to be found in his continuation of Johnson's "Lives of English Poets," and his "Lives of Early French Poets," all which have hitherto only appeared anonymously in the "Old London Magazine."

In 1826 he was appointed assistant librarian in the British Museum, which office he resigned about six years since, after having been passed by on the promotion of Mr. Panizzi. From that period he had continued his literary labours with almost youthful energy, having edited the poetical works of Pope, Cowper, Milton, Thomson, and Young, together with a fourth edition of his own" Dante," to which he added many valuable notes. The late government marked its sense of his literary merits by granting him a pension of 2001. a-year.

The remains of Mr. Cary were interred in Poets' Corner, Westminster Abbey, on Wednesday Aug. 21.

MRS. RACHEL WILSON.

Aug. 13. At her house, contiguous to the rectory house of Kegworth, Leicestershire, aged 87, Mrs. Rachel Wilson.

She was the last surviving daughter of Commodore William Wilson, the early patron and steadfast friend of the illus. trious Captain James Cook, between whom a correspondence, at once scientific and affectionate, subsisted during their joint lives. Commodore Wilson's personal merit as a seaman is briefly attested by the following inscription on the reverse of a beautiful gold medallion, the obverse of which contains some allegoric figures: -"The gift of the English East India Company to Captain William Wilson, Commander of the ship Pitt, in acknowledgment of his services in baving made his passage to and from China by an unusual course, and thereby evincing that navigation to be practicable at any season of the year, A.D. M.DCCLX." That passage was first made by the Pitt Straits, which name he gave to them from that of his ship, the William Pitt. He discovered the advantages to be derived from the situation of Port Jackson, in New South Wales, to which he likewise gave the name, from the surname of his wife's family-the Jacksons of Normanby, in Cleveland. In a private ship of war, of 36 guns, as was the custom of that time (1744)-precisely a hundred years ago

he fought three desperate actions, in the first of which he defeated, and would have captured, a Spanish frigate of 54 guns, but for the disabled state of his own rigging; in the second he took two out of three French letters of marque, each carrying from 23 to 28 guns; in the third be captured a Spanish sloop of war, carrying government despatches and spe. cie. In the year 1750 he had the command of a company's ship called the Suffolk, in which he protected and wholly preserved a valuable fleet of merchantmen against the Comte de Provence, a ship of the line of 74 guns, aided by the Sylphide frigate, forcing the Marquis de la Chaise, who had the chief command, to sheer off, with considerable loss, for which most important service he received the thanks of the Court of Directors, and a valuable present of plate. By a commission, bearing date the 23d Dec. 1757, the East India Company constituted Capt. William Wilson Commodore of all the Company's ships and vessels, with full power to take, sink, or otherwise destroy all and every ship or ships of war belonging to the French, outward or homeward bound, or within the limits of the Company's charter. It was in this elevated service that he discovered the Pitt Straits. The evening of this brave man's life was spent on a small estate which he had purchased at Ayton, near his wife's relations, in Cleveland. Here he occupied himself in the discharge of the useful duties of a country magistrate, and in all the offices of an exemplary pious Christian, till called into his Maker's presence, in the year 1795, in the 80th year of his age. He left behind him an only son and three daughters; one of the latter married William Blackburne, esq. M.D., the son of the Archdeacon of Cleveland. The rest died unmarried. His only surviving grandchildren by Dr. Blackburne are two daughters, one of whom is married to the Rev. P. Fraser, Rector of Kegworth; the other to Mr. Haynes, a British merchant settled at Trieste.
