On the 20th ult. at Lisburn, in the 21st year of her age, Miss CLOSE; a female, whose goodness and sincerity of heart, united with an engaging and cheerful disposition, endeared her to a numerous circle of friends and acquaintances, by whom this amiable young woman's death is now deeply lamented.

At Montreal, in Canada, on the 9th November last, THOS. BURNETT, Esq., Civil Engineer. He had been engaged for the last four years in superintending the making of the La Chine Canal, with great credit to himself, and to the entire satisfaction of the Commissioners for carrying that work into execution. In the characters of husband, parent, and friend, he has left few to equal him; and the general feeling of regret expressed for his death, in a country where he was known only for a short time, was, perhaps, the best proof of his worth and integrity.

Lately, at Pentrobin, near Hawarden, Flintshire, JOHN BEAVAN, aged 87; he had 9 children, 60 grand-children, and 120 great-grand-children, making a total of 189, of whom 162 are now living.
