In St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London, in the most abject state of poverty and dis tress, in the 54th year of his age, John Coghlan, esq. some time a captain in the 88th regiment of foot. Amidst the crash of states, and downtal of empires, it may not be unprofitable to the younger part of our readers, to turn aside from the awful events of the passing day, to contemplate for a moment the melancholy vicissitude of private individual life. This unhappy man, in the dawn of his days, had the brightest prospects. His father, a London merchant, though possessing great wealth, destined his son, for the navy, and committed him to the care of his friend; the celebrated Captam Cooke, with whom he made a voyage round the world as a midshipman, Not liking the sea, he turned his thoughts successively to the bar, and to the church, and at last entered into the army. He served several campaigns in America, was at the storming of Fort Clinton, and in several other actions, where he behaved gallantly. At New-York, he married Miss Moncrieff, so celebrated afterwards in the annals of gallantry as Mrs. Coghlan From this unfortunate connection, formed without cantion, without prudence, may be dated his inus fortunes and his misery. She was a rank republican in principle, which could not well accord with the sentiments of a young soldier, full of spirit and loyalty, then fighting the battles of his country. The lady soon chose another protector. After the peace of 1783, he obtained his Majesty's permission, under the sign manual, to serve in the Russian army. But his domestic disappointment preyed upon his mind, and he became dissipated and unstable, and served one campaign only with

Europe, he returned to England, and entered with avidity into every fashionable" vice and folly of the day. His extravagance, i and attachment to the fair sex, gradually involved him in poverty and ruia; and redered him in the end, after varions and ugcommon changes of fortune and situation, the broken-down and pitiable object of a, charitable institution. Highly favoured by nature, he possessed great powers of body and mind; he was social and convivial, could at will" set the table in a roar," and g was accounted one of the handsomest men of his tune. In his happier days, lawyers and medical men had a great deal of his money. He was respectably connected both i in England and Wales; yet the humanity of the officers of the Hospital detained the body a full fortnight in the dead-house, in, the vain hope that some relation might step forward to pay the last sad duties to the dead. The clarity of a stranger furnished a covering for his remains, which were deposited in the burying ground of the Hospital.

Master Henry White, aged 15, one of the unfortunate sufferers in the melancholy catastrophe at the Old Bailey. Impelled by a curiosity natural to young people, and in some instances alas, ! too powerful to be controuled, he went to the eventful spot; and though, on all occasions, he possessed both spirit and conduct, yet he was overcome by the pressure of the immense crowd, swooned, and rose no more! He was just finishing his education, through which he was passing with credit to himself, and satisfaction to his tutor, who loved him as his own child. He was to have been placed in the countinghouse of his father, an eminent wine-merchant at Portsmouth, who, together with his partner in life, have borne this severe dispensation of Providence with a truly christian fortitude and resignation. He was beloved not only by his relatives and friends, but by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. His sorrowful tutor, deeply affected by the early and premature death of an amiable pupil, bears this sad tribute of respect to his memory.

In this situation he remained almost 25 years, when he imbibed an idea that he should be poisoned to death; he accordingly refused to take food of any kind (tobacco and water excepted.) and, strange to tell, he fasted 62 days. He then, by the solicitations of his attendants, with a voracious appetite, received into his stomach one large table spoonful of milk, and again refused sustenance. He survived two days after taking the milk, when death closed the melancholy scene.
