Feb . 28 , at his house in Gray * s-Inn Lahe > Mr . John Baxter , who ( it may be remembered ) was a leading member of the Corresponding Society , and was one of those arraigned and tried with Hardy and Home Tooke . He was twice confined under different Suspension Acts ; the first time at Chester Castle , and the
second at Coldbath Fields , during the governorship of Aris . He was a member of the College of Surgeons , and was considered a very skilful demonstrator , but he devoted only a small portion of his time to private practice , which at last he limited almost exclusively to those persons to whom he gave , in the spirit of charity , his professional assistance . The
powers of his mind , however , were not exclusively devoted to professional pursuits ; he was well acquainted with the Hebrew , Greek and Latin languages ; and , as a speaker , he was distinguished by his close logical method of reasoning ; while , as a man , he was universally esteemed for the kind and generous qualities of his heart . He was buried March
7 , in the ground of Lady Huntingdon ' s Chapel , Spa Fields . His remains were attended to the grave by a few of his old friends , and the mourning train was closed by the voluntary attendance of several persons who had been his tenants , and who adopted that method of expressing their sincere grief for his loss . —Morn . Chron .

On the 1 st inst ., at Norwood , Charles Yarmold , Esq ., Surgeon , Grea } St . Helen ' s , after an illness of three months * duration , in the 45 th year of his age . By his numerous friends the loss of this worthy individual will be much felt , gifted as he was , in an eminent degree , with many amiable qualities . With ardent
feelings , but under the controul of a well-disciplined mind , he had the happiness of gaining the good will and attachment of most of those with whom he became acquainted . His illness , not at first painful , became peculiarly so towards its fatal termination , yet was it
borne with the fortitude and resignation of one who felt and acknowledged that he was in the Viands of that Supreme Disposer of events , whose eminent attribute is mercy , and to whom his latest aspirations were directed . A member of the congregation of Protestant Dissenters

worshiping : in Mon-kweB Street , as long as that body remained together , he was much attached to its respected minister , and hence were his surviving relatives induced to request the Rev . Mr , W . Brown to perform the last « ad rites over his remains . The following appropriate address and prayer were delivered at the interment , and those friends who were most intimate with the deceased will feel
how just a delineation it contains of his character and pursuits . " My Christian Friends , ' Death is ever hovering around us : how soon the dart may be hurled and strike us , we know not : the firmest tread is unstable ; ere we are aware our feet slip , and down we sink to the dark and silent
grave . Then must a lasting leave be taken of all our delusive joys , our fancied greatness , our cherished fame , however fondly we might imagine we should enjoy them for many years to come . But of those who in treading life ' s beaten paths have resisted the allurements of vice , have preserved their integrity in the dread encounter with human passions , have fought
and often conquered in the cause of virtue , freedom , knowledge , and of pure religion , the good deeds rise up in our memory with a most refreshening fragrance } and our bright hopes of their happy immortality console us for our earthly loss : we trust that to them it is granted to sit down with Jesus , even as he also overcame and is set down with
his Father on his throne . " These reflections come home to our breasts on the present occasion . We mourn over a friend who has just passed the threshold of mortality . The eye once beaming with feeling and intelligence .,
often sparkling with generous affections , or flashing with a generous detestation of wrong or meanness , is now for ever closed on this earthly scene ; the glow of health which once tinged the lip and cheek can no longer be traced in the pallid and sunken features of the dead ; the contrast between the animated frame
directed by a living soul , and the livid , dull , ponderous corse , is too obvious not to strike the most careless , too awful not to affect the most unfeeling observer . But we can honour his departed worth . His countenance has often smiled upon us with a revivifying affection ; his heatt was kind and generous ; his mind was directed
to inteJhjctual and moral pursuits , yet uniformly cheerful ; he was atfdent in the cause o * civil and ueligious liberty ; a critical perusal of rare hi&W > vic records hud 'Snafcled him to unfold many of the mt * fo& < ticr # i * i which the transactions © f past ag « £ He r » Vf ) Jv *? d .
