An offender against the laws of his country, by imbruing his hands in human blood-bereft also of her upon whom for years he had duated-disgusted with the world and the pursuits which occupied his early years-he determined to transfer his home and residence among strangers, and in a foreign land to seek in seclusion and retirement those comforts which he believed were lost to him at home. After having arrived in the now United States pennyless, he looked for and obtained the humblest and most menial situations, preserving in the most penurious manner every penny he obtained. Soon after his arrival in America, the ferment of revolution began, and he entered into the service of that country, in which he remained until its close, discharging the duties of a private in the most faithful and useful manner. Having finished his tour of public duty, he again returned to his servile occupations. He was acquainted with many foreign languages, and was remarkable for his observance of Christian duties. Educated in the faith of the Roman religion, at a mature age he became a believer in the Protestant faith, and never entered upon his daily avocations without imploring the Divine blessing. For more than twenty years after his arrival be was never known to speak to a fe male, and had little except necessary intercourse with males. His house was a cellar, his food was the remains of a victualling house; yet he accumulated thousands of dollars, which, with characteristic carefulness, he deposited in the various city banks, taking only a receipt for safe-keeping. He belonged to the fraternity of Masons, and reached its highest orders; and no fellow-craftsman who was in want escaped his brotherly notice and regard. His habits were remarkably temperate; as it is not known that he ever partook of ardent spirits. His appearance was slovenly, his beard long, and he never exhibited the semblance of cleanliness. His property, consisting of many thousand dollars, he bestowed upon an excellent and respectable lady, who at all times, and particularly during his illness, conferred upon him the duties of benevolence. How instructive is the lesson of this singular and strange being! In the humble and low occupation of a carrier of the baskets of huckster-women from cellars' to stands, with the pitiful pittance of sixpence for the drudgery, he has heaped up thousands. He bad the medical attendance of the most respectable characters, and the solemnities of interment were attended by the Ministers of Trinity Church. After a

life of such uncommon duration, he is now at rest with his fathers; and if in' its early stages it may have been disfigured by wanderings from known duties, yet the greater part of it was marked by faith, and in many instances by that of charity.

MR. T. SMALES.

He was better known by the name of "The Horsforth Post." This hardy veteran had attained to the 88th year of his age; upwards of 50 years of which he had spent in the bloodless service of his country-in the humble, but useful capacity of a letter-carrier between Leeds and Guiseley.

"The herald of a noisy world, News from all nations lumbering at his back."

No weather arrested his daily labours; and to ill health, till within a few of the last years of his life, he was almost a stranger. He had travelled, on an average, for 50 successive years, 20 miles a day; and, without extending his journey more than 15 miles from the same spot, had walked, within that period, a distance equal to 15 times the circumference of the earth! So firm were his

stamina, that he continued to perform his accustomed duties till within about four years of his death; and he has left behind him a race of descendants, consisting of seven children, 34 grandchildren, and 24 great grand-children.

DEATH S.

1819, HIS Burmah Majesty, the King June 5, of Ava. He had reigned 38 years, and was succeeded by the Prince Regent, his grandson. The body of the late King was burned on the funeral pile by the hands of the Princes, and his ashes placed in the royal cemetery, inclosed in an urn. The present King having reason to fear his own brother, the Prince of Tauonoo, whose daring spirit led him to form the design of seizing on the throne, had him arrested, together with the whole of the children, grand-children, and the rest of the family, who were afterwards put into red sacks, and thrown into the sea, a death reserved by the laws of the country for the Royal Family alone! The Prince Proue, uncle to the Kiug, and who was also leagued in the conspiracy, was tortured on the rack, and was afterwards strangled while in prison. Prince Leh Gain, whose elder brother, Mohe-ning, is the son-in-law of Raggoon, was likewise executed as a conspirator.
