Deceased was well known on this frontier for his botanical researches - he having been employed in this country as collector of specimens for His Majesty the King of Prussia.

Died on the 15th April last at his Residence, De Staden's River, District of Uitenhage, after a lingering illness of five months, Ignatius Stephanus FERREIRA Esq, aged 54 years, deeply regretted by his family and numerous circle of friends, who were deservedly attached to him. Deceased possessed a retentive memory and strong powers of mind, which he had cultivated by perusal of the best Dutch authors. He had thus acquired a large fund of intelligence, and was acquainted with both the facts and the chronology of history to an extent not often met with in those possessed of scholastic attainments. He was distinguished by a fine flow of animal spirits, and for generosity and hospitality almost unbounded. These were displayed not only to his fellow countrymen but also to strangers (and especially to those in want of assistance) as the English residents in that neighbourhood can abundantly testify. He has left a widow and eight children to deplore his loss. Thursday May 23 1844 Birth at Colesberg on Monday 29th April the lady of Captain DONOVAN, of the Cape Mounted Riflemen, of a daughter.

Died at the Kaga on the 6th instant, after a protracted illness of two months, Mr. George POLLARD, aged 61 years. Deceased was one of the British settlers of 1820 and from which period he has ever maintained an unblemished character. His loss is deeply deplored by his family and by a considerable circle of attached friends. Thursday June 20 1844 Died at Graham's Town on Thursday 13th instant of an injury received from a vicious cow two days previous, Mr. Alexander KIDWELL, aged 60 years. Deceased was one of the British settlers of 1820 and formed one of the Committee for the Commemoration services recently held at Graham's Town. He had been for many years a widower, but was to have been re-married on the day of his death. For some years he was engaged in a rather extensive retail business at Graham's Town, under the firm of "STONE & KIDWELL", since which he has had to pass through many trying vicissitudes. He was much esteemed by his friends and maintained an unblemished character for integrity. He belonged to the Baptist Church which, together with his family and acquaintances, now have to deplore the loss of a valuable member of their respective circles. Thursday June 27 1844 Married at St.Andrew's Church by the Rev. George Morgan on Tuesday 18th instant, Mr. John Murray AITCHISON to Caroline, youngest daughter of William GILLMER of Cape Town. Thursday July 4 1844 Birth at Colesberg on Monday 24th June, Mrs. Thos. HOLMES of a son. Died at Graham's Town on Thursday 20th instant [June] Mr William Thomas AUSTIN, aged 68 years. Deceased was one of the oldest British residents on the Frontier, having held a government appointment, that of assistant superintendent of the Somerset Farm, in the year 1816; from which establishment, on the arrival in Albany of the British Settlers of 1820, he removed to the immediate vicinity of Bathurst and was appointed Heemraad of the District, thus giving him authority as a Justice of the Peace, and also a seat at the Monthly Sessions then held at Graham's Town for the adjudication of petty, civil and criminal cases. He was a man of considerable ability and address, and of respectable education. As a practical agriculturalist he was in deserved repute, while his general suavity of manner secured him the respect generally of the circle in which he moved. During the last ten or twelve years he laboured under the severe affliction of total blindness, arising from a slight puncture in the hand by that deadly reptile the puff adder. By the use of very active means at the moment the fatal effects of this injury were counteracted, but the poison injected was too virulent to be altogether expelled. It affected the sight, and soon resulted in total deprivation of vision. He bore this affliction with exemplary patience and to the last, though in very reduced circumstances, exhibited that intelligence and maintained that deportment which had procured him, in early life, the esteem of his friends and the respect generally of those with whom he had intercourse. Thursday July 18 1844 Died on the 14th instant at Somerset, Mr. Wm. ROBINSON of the farm Kliphoek, on the Koonap, aged 34 years, after six months severe suffering from a large cancer of the bowels, during which illness he received the kindest attention and sympathy from the inhabitants of Somerset. He has left a widow and four young children. He was son to Mr. Thos. ROBINSON, who came out with the settlers in 1819. He died truly repentant and in the hope of mercy.

MRS.ARMSTRONG Married at Sunday's River on the 19th July by the Rev. J.McCLELAND, Colonial Chaplain, Port Elizabeth, Mr. R. NUDD, eldest son of Mr. J.

Alexander SMITH on the 17th instant, Mr. George HITJE of Zwaart Berg, District Beaufort, to Miss Plestina Blatherwick, youngest daughter of Mr. John YOUNGER, Surgeon, Accoucheur etc. Died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. J. BRADFIELD, at Fort Armstrong, on Tuesday 16th instant, Mr. James WHITE, aged 63 years. Deceased was one of the British Emigrants of 1820, having been located in that year near the mouth of the Kowie, whence he soon afterwards removed to Graham's Town, where he resided till the period of his demise. Of him it may be safely affirmed that few individuals have filled up their station in society more unblamably or respectably. As a warm lover of his country devoted to everything truly British; as a man of intelligence and scrupulous probity; as an active member of a Christian church; as a zealous friend of education, having been for many years a most assiduous and useful teacher in the Wesleyan Sunday School, and as a most affectionate husband and apparent - his memory will ever be cherished with respect, and as being eminently worthy of imitation. His death was sudden, the cause being a violent concussion by a fall from horseback, inducing disorganization of the brain, from which he never rallied. His funeral was attended by his bereaved family, by a large number of attached friends - and by the children, about 300 in number, of the Graham's Town Wesleyan Sunday Schools. He lived as becometh the Gospel, and he died with that calmness and in that hope which its promises alone can afford in the final hour.

RHODES of a son. Thursday September 26 1844 Died at Graham's Town on Thursday 19th instant, Mr. Thos. MARSH, a native of Lancashire in England, aged 77 years. Deceased was one of the British Settlers of 1820, since which he has resided chiefly in Graham's Town. He came to the Colony with what is usually called the Salem Party, composed chiefly of Wesleyan Methodists, and of which denomination he was an old member. During his residence in this Colony his character as a man of integrity has been unsullied, while the genuineness of his religious principles were tested not merely in life but in death. He had the privilege of retaining his mental faculties till the last, and of not suffering from any disease. During the whole period of his illness his assurance of salvation by Jesus Christ was perfectly unshaken, his patience unbroken, and his readiness to depart unwavering. He sank under no paroxysm, but from a gradual decay of physical power, his debility becoming greater and greater until "the weary wheels of life stood still". He was surrounded at the final hour by his children and grandchildren, who had thus presented to them a bright example of the power of Religion to sustain and cheer the mind in a dying hour. As a faithful husband, an affectionate parent, a good neighbour and an independent citizen, his memory will be ever respected by those who knew him. His remains were interred on Sunday by the side of those of his wife, who died about two years before him at the advanced age of 78 years. "Let me die the death of the Righteous and let my last end be like his". Thursday October 3 1844

Died at Graham's Town on Thursday 14th instant, Mr. Daniel ROBERTS, aged 64 years. Deceased was no ordinary man, and there are few among the British settlers of 1820, of whom he was one, who was more deservedly respected. For more than 30 years he was a member of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, fulfilling all the relative duties of life in a manner that strictly comported with his profession of Christianity. He possessed both deep and ardent piety, and was endowed with considerable grasp of intellect. His religion was eminently of a practical character, a large portion of his time being devoted to acts of benevolence, visiting the sick and destitute - whether of his own church or any other - imparting consolation to the dying, and promoting in every way the welfare of those around him. To the prisoner and abandoned outcast was devoted a considerable share of his exertions. The last few years of his life were embittered by great mental gloom, bordering on despair. So deep was this feeling that he even hesitated to drink a drop of water, from a conviction of his unworthiness of the least of God's mercies; all his usual avocations were given up, and he sank under the irritability of excessive nervous sensibility into a state of profound melancholy. From this dreadful anguish of mind he was relieved a few days before his death, his mind regaining its wonted calmness, and he was enabled steadily to repose upon the mercy and abundant goodness of the "Author and Giver of Life". Died at Colesberg November 17th, the Rev. Francis TAYLOR, Wesleyan Missionary, in the twenty ninth year of his age, and the ninth of his Ministry. His long affliction was borne with exemplary patience and fortitude and his end was eminently peaceful and happy.

His death was occasioned by an injury sustained by a fall from his horse, whilst taking an evening ride with a friend, which he survived only a few hours. The sudden bereavement of this young man (whose estimable qualities had endeared him to all who knew him) has plunged his family and friends into a state of inexpressible grief.

THE GRAHAM'S TOWN BUTCHERS v THE PUBLIC
The price I have put down, both for cattle and sheep, is high, compared with what is usually given throughout the year. The average weight of oxen is from 600 to 800 lbs, and good sheep from 60lbs to 70 lbs, but to be within the mark I have put them at 50lbs : the whole of the calculation being greatly below the common average, and I have been lately informed that one of the aforesaid Company's Agent bought a lot of sheep averaging 60lbs for 4s 6d each. Thursday October 9 1845 We omitted to notice in our report of the storms of last week a very extraordinary case of preservation from sudden death. It seems that a young man, named PHILIPS, assistant in the store of Mr. BIRKENRUTH, was at the farm Blue Krans, about 14 miles S. of Graham's Town, at the time a storm passed over that neighbourhood. He was indoors, seated near the window, when a terrific flash of lightning deprived him in a moment of all consciousness. He fell, and on being raised no pulsation whatever could be perceived, and he was supposed to be quite dead. Information to this effect was dispatched to town, and an order given for a coffin, which was actually sent out, when a second account was received to the effect that there were signs of returning animation. The result is, we are happy to say, that the party has so far recovered as to be able to resume his ordinary avocations. He states that he felt no pain; he recollects a sudden glare of light - and from that instant all sensation entirely ceased. He has not apparently sustained the slightest external injury.
