Jan . 7 . In Holies Street , Cavendish Square , in the 79 th year of her age , Mrs . Anne Hunter , widow of that distinguished physiologist , John Hunter . She was the eldest daughter of Mr . Robert Home , an eminent surgeon , first in the army and latterly at the Savoy . To her we are
indebted for many popular lyric effusions —the stanzas " On November , 1784 , " ( inserted in our XlVth Volume , p . 636 , ) " Queen Mary ' s Lament ; " " the Deathsong of Alknomook , the Indian Warrior , " &c . When Haydn passed a season in London , Mrs . Hunter became the Muse of that celebrated composer ; and his
beautiful Canzonets were composed on words which she supplied . Most of these are original , and particularly the pathetic song of ( i My mother bids me bind my hair ; " first written as accommodated to a . n air of PleydelTs ; and then beginning with what is now the second stanza ,
* ' Tis sad to think the days are gone . " The elegant authoress collected her poems in a small volume , published about twenty years ago . She lived hi retirement , but enjoyed select literary society . Her character is highly , and we believe deservedly eulogized , by such as had the honour of her acquaintance .

John ' s Hospital , Domestic and Examining Chaplain to the Bishop , a Magistrate for the counties of Warwick and Stafford , and Rector of St . Philip's Church , Birmingham . Whilst conversing with a pensioner of St . John's , he was suddenly seized with an affection in his head which baffled the aid of medical skill in
the space of half an hour . The general regret expressed on this melancholy occasion is the best testimony to the distinguished worth of this excellent man , for it may with great truth be said , that few
persons have possessed , in so high a degree as Dr . Outram , the cordial esteem and respect of every class of his neighbours and of every variety of religious denomination among us . To the attainments of an excellent scholar were added
the urbanity of the gentleman , and the mild and conciliatory spirit of the Christian minister : though decidedly attached to our established institutions in Church and State , he appears to have acted under the influence of that divine injunction , " If it be possible , as much as lieth in you live peaceably with all men , " and , therefore , on all occasions he manifested
a due respect for the temperate and conscientious expression of opinions from which his principles compelled him to dissent . In the maturity of his years , possessing high and influential stationsready , as far as his health would allow him , to every benevolent work—beloved
and venerated by his parishioners , and deeply lamented by all . The public and personal virtues of such a man as the late Dr . Outram will long be remembered in this place ; they are his best relicts , and they will then be most honoured by his survivors when contemplated by them as models for imitation .

— 11 , at Jtichmondy aged 90 , Mr . Adam Walker , the late celebrated lecturer in experimental philosophy . His ingenious mind was ever active in the pursuit of science , and his original invention of that beautiful machine the
Eidouranion or Transparent Orrery , and the Celestina , the great revolving lights on the Isle of Scilly and Cromer , by which , under Provideuce , thousands of lives and property have been saved , the warm airstove under the House of Lords and Italian Opeia-house , the present mailcoach , &c . j still remain as proofs .

Feb . 2 , at Tawntony in the 83 rd year of her age , Mrs . Elizabeth Hurley . In early life she was connected with the Calvinistic Baptists , but on subsequent reflection was induced to forsake their communion , and became a decided Unitarian . She was , during a long course
of years a regular attendant on the ministry of the Rev . Dr . Toulmin . Her religious faith was adorned by a consistent life , and numerous were her acts of disinterested kindness and generosity ; but to publish her virtues now would be little consistent with her wishes and the
modest retirement of her life . "Her record is on high . " May those who have had the benefit of her example , emulate her virtues ; and may he who has ever experienced from her more than parental kindness , and who now pays this humble but sincere tribute of respect to her memory , fulfil the pious wishes and prayers of her who was his best , his earliest and his dearest friend .
