At Appleby, on Easter Sunday last, Mr. Matthew HARRISON, aged 37 years, for upwards of twenty years clerk and manager of the Old Brewery, a common Councilman, and one of the Chamberlains of the Corporation of Appleby. Seldom indeed does a death occur to cause so universal a gloom as that of Mr. HARRISON; he was very generally beloved; of a kind and benevolent disposition; and his demise will be long and deeply felt by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. On the 30th ult., after a week's illness, Mr. John BOUSTEAD, of 7, Queen's Buildings, Knightsbridge, and Beanlands, Irthington, Cumberland, aged 53 years. In New Lowther Street, Whitehaven, since our last, Joseph, only son of the late Mr. Joseph WATSON, mercer and draper, of that town; in Strand Street, on Thursday week, (after a short illness, having been married about eight weeks ago,) Ruth, wife of Mr. William WATSON, aged 36 years; in Roper Street, on the 28th ult., Mrs. Margaret M'MYNN, boot and shoemaker, in the 83rd year of her age; in the Preston Quarter Workhouse, John, son of Mr. YARKER, late of the customs at Whitehaven port, aged 34 years; on the 30th ult., William GILL, late of Distington. In London, suddenly, on the 25th ult., John, eldest son of the late Mr. John MOUNSEY, painter, Whitehaven, aged 29. At Rottington, near Whitehaven, on Thursday week, Mrs. MOSSOP, wife of Mr. Clement MOSSOP, jun., of that place, in the 46th year of her age.

At Pow House, Portinscale, near Keswick, on Friday last, Mrs. BIRKETT, relict of the late Thomas BIRKETT, Esq., of that place, aged 82 years. The loss caused by the demise of this venerable and truly excellent lady, whose active and unwearied benevolence made the distress and indigence of all around her the objects of her peculiar care, will not readily be supplied. At the Vicarage, Sandal, on Tuesday week, in his 72nd year, the Rev. T. WESTMORELAND, M.A. He was 26 years Vicar of Sandal, in Yorkshire, and upwards of 40 years Perpetual Curate of Buttermere, Cumberland. At Briery Hill, near Keswick, on the 25th ult., Miss Ann FORSYTH, aged 15 years. At Millbeck, Under-Skiddaw, near Keswick, on Wednesday week, Mary, wife of Mr. Harry BENN, aged 60 years. At Paris, M. ETIENNE, known alike in the world of letters and of politics, a popular dramatic writer of the days of the Empire, a member of the French Academy, a deputy of the Lower Chamber for many years, and latterly a peer of France. At Grafenberg, Austrian Silesia, on the 16th ult., of consumption, in his 29th year, Benjamin BRIGHT, Esq., of Rochdale, brother of John BRIGHT, Esq., M.P. At his Lordship's seat, Mote, near Maidstone, on Saturday last, the Earl of Romney, in the 68th year of his age. At Innerwell, on the 24th ult., Mr. John PAGAN, tacksman of the Earl of Galloway's stake net fishery, Bay of Wigtown, in the 79th year of his age. The deceased had been long a fisher in the Solway Frith; and, from lenthened [sic] experience and acute observation, understood surpassingly the various phases of the tidal flow and ebb, with many other pecularities incident to the inner waters of the South of Scotland. For a number of years the deceased rented the farm of Corbelly, with its coast fishery, parish of Newabbey; and, for more revolving summers than we con [sic] enumerate, was seen, as duly as the hour came round, once or twice a-week at our Mid-Steeple. That possession, however, he resigned on the termination of the law plea against stake nets in the Nith; and shortly afterwards removed to Innerwell, near Garliestown, where he persevered as long as he was able in the same course of untiring industry. Mr. PAGAN was in every respect a superior man, of great shrewdness and force of character, and, although unlettered in the proper sense of the word, had acquired, from reading, observation, and reflection, a measure of useful, compact, general knowledge, which mediocrity, with all its aids, toils after in vain. The remains of our old friend, borne in a hearse a distance of seventy miles, were interred at Newabbey, on Friday last, in presence of not a few old parishioners, natives of Dumfries, and other localities-his son-in-law and grandsons acting as chief mourners. DEATH OF PHILIP JOHN MILES, ESQ.-The death of Mr. MILES has left a void in this city which will not easily be filled up. At the head of one of the largest mercantile establishments in the kingdom (by far the largest in this part of the country), Mr. MILES afforded one of those honourable examples which distinguish the "merchant princes" of Britain. For a considerable number of years he sat the quiet representative of a quiet borough, which was disfranchised on the passing of the Reform Bill. In 1834 he was returned as one of the members for this city; but the honour was imposed upon, rather than sought by, him; and in 1837 his son Philip, being of age to undertake the office, he gladly relinquished a position and duties for which he had little inclination. In politics he was an unvarying Tory, and the minister of the period, when men and measures went together, might always reckon upon his vote.-Bristol Gaz.
