      Nov . 27 , at Glasgow , Mr . William Friend Durant , aged 19 , the onlyson of the Rev . Thomas Durant , of Poole , in Dorsetshire . Universally Esteemed and beloved , his death is

      deeply felt and regretted . The extraordinary powers of his highly-cultivated intellect , and the refined dispositions of his heart , both under the operative influence of the noblest principles , never failed to recommend him to the well-earned admiration and

      affectionate regard of all who enjoyed the privilege of his acquaintance . He had for the fourth time repaired to the university , in order this session to conclude his studies ; but , alas ! a premature death has put an end to a career which , however promising , was but just beinm . The eulogies publicly

      passed on him since the mournful event by the professors of the several classes in which lie had in preceding years distinguished himself by the brilliancy of his genius and the fruits of his industry , sufficiently exhibit the light in which he was held by them . The students of the

      Natural-Philosophy Class expressed their respect for the memory of their deeply-lamented friend and fellow-student in an address of condolence which they unanimously voted to his bereaved and agonized parent . Mr . W . F . Durant was

      intended for the English bar , and by his death , in the words of one of his professors , * " not only the college has lost " one of its brightest ornaments , but the nation , and even the world , may be said to have sustained a very considerable loss . "

      at Worship Street on the succeeding Wednesday . At the same place , on Sunday , Dec . 1 . 6 , Mr . David Eaton , preached the funeral sermon to a verycrowded and respectable audience , from Psalm xxxix . 5 : " Behold , thou

      hast made my days as an handhreadth , and mine age is a # nothing before thee - y * in which , after judiciously expatiating on the vanity and brevity of life , and the glorious hopes and consolations afforded by the gospel , the preacher thus characterized the lamented deceased :

      66 It now remains for me to say something of the character * of the excellent young minister whose premature decease we ndw honour and deplore . The Rev . Caleb Evans was born in 1801 ; so that at his death he had not attained the age of 21 years He was the third son of the Rev . Dr .

      Evans , who has been the respected minister of this Christian society for upwards of 30 years ; your esteem for whom , both as a minister and a friend , is so well known , that it would be

      impertinent in me to attempt any eulogy on his character . Our deceased friend was instructed under the affectionate care of his father until it was deemed proper to send him to Edinburgh to finish his education , where he attended the College for two years . On his return , he became a principal

      assistant in the respectable seminary at Islington , which his worthy father has successfully conducted for upwards of 20 years , in connexion with which , occupation , after much serious inquiry and deliberation , the ministry of the gospel was the profession to whieh he devoted himself . With what ardour .
