At Lyons, the Hon. William Moore, last surviving brother of the Earl of Mountcashell.

At Gato, G. Belzoni, the celebrated traveller. He
At St. Petersburg, Dr. Charles Sympson, aged 28.
was buried the next day, and the following in-
scription was placed upon his tomb: "Here lie
the remains of G. Belzoni, who was attacked
with dysentery at Benin (on his way to Houssa
and Timbuctoo) November 26, and died at this
place December 3, 1823." At the time of his
death every thing was arranged with the king
of Benin for his departure; and there is no
doubt he would have succeeded. He passed
with the king and nobles for a native of the
interior who had been in England since his
youth, and was then returning home; and wore
a Moorish dress, and a beard a foot long. The
distance from Benin to Houssa is about 25 days
journey. His guard was to have left him at the
latter place, whence he was to have proceeded
to Timbuctoo by himself.

At Missolonghi, on the 19th of April, the Right
Hon. George Gordon Byron Lord Byron: he
had exposed himself on the 9th to a violent
rain, the consequence of which was a severe
cold, and he was immediately confined to his
bed. The low state to which he had been re-
duced made him unwilling to be bled, and he
absolutely refused to submit to that remedy.
The friends near him at the time were Prince
Mavrocordato, Mr. Parry (who had orga-
nised the artillery and engineer corps for the
Greeks, at Missolonghi), Mr. Bourke, and
Count Gamba. Letters from the last-mentioned
gentlemen conveyed the intelligence to Lord
Sidney Osborne.
directed all his energies to the Greek cause, and
Lord Byron had latterly
had succeeded in stirring up the inhabitants of
that part of the country where he resided, to an
almost inconceivable enthusiasm. One letter
from Corfu, dated April 23, states, that his
Lordship died possessed of considerable pro-
perty, having received large sums from England
for the purpose of investment. His title de-
scends to George Anson Byron, Esq. a Post
Captain in the Royal Navy. Since the arrival
of the intelligence of his Lordship's decease,
Mr. Thomas Moore has, out of delicacy, it is
said, to some of his surviving relatives, de-
stroyed the MS. containing his noble friend's
auto-biographical memoirs, just at the time
when the public were looking impatiently for-
ward to the announcement of its publication.
At Montreal, Canada, James Henderson, Esq.
son of the late Dr. Robert Henderson, Physician,
of Dundee.
