At the Coombe, Chyandour, on the 11th instant, Mr. BOLITHO, aged 92 years. Penzance has to regret the loss of one of the oldest and most respected of its inhabitants. Mr. BOLITHO was for many years largely connected with the trade of the county, especially with that which made Cornwall famous in its early history, Tin, in the smelting of which metal he had been connected for nearly three-quarters of a century, and having outlived all his early contemporaries, he was for a long time considered the father of the trade. Few men possessed greater judgment or more liberality than he evinced in the conduct of his business, whilst in private life he was most benevolent. Before his growing infirmities had confined him to the immediate neighbourhood of Penzance, Mr. Bolitho was personally intimate with a large number of the inhabitants of the county, and their esteem he ever retained. Of late years he had retired almost entirely within his family circle, over which he shed an influence which must be largely felt long after his decease.
