At Walthamstow, in his 81st year, David Barclay, esq. the only surviving grandson of Robert Barclay, of Urie, author of the celebrated Apology for the Quakers. He was bred to business in the city of London, and was long at the head of a most extensive house in Cheapside, chiefly engaged in the American trade, and the affairs of which he closed at the commencement of the revolution. He was, at that time, as much, distinguished by his talents, knowledge, integ. rity, and power, as a merchant, as he has been ever since in retirement by his patriotism, philanthropy, and munificence. We cannot form to ourselves, even in imagination, the idea of a character more perfect than that of David Barclay. Graced by nature with a most noble form, all the qualities of his mind and the heart corresponded with the grandeur of his exterior. The superiority of his understanding confirmed the impression which the dignity of his demeanor made on all; and though, by the tenets of his religious faith, he abstained from all the honours of public trust, to which he was frequently in

vited by his fellow-citizens, yet his influence was justly great on all the public questions of the day: his examination at the bar of the House of Commons, and his advice on the subject of the Amercian dispute, were so clear, so intelligent, and so wise, that, though not followed, Lord North publicly acknowledged he had derived more information from him than from all others on the east of Temple-bar. It was the revolution that determined him to wind up his extensive concerns, and to retire; but not as busy men generally retire to the indulgence of mere personal luxury. His benevolent heart continued active in his retreat. He distributed his ample fortune in the most sublime ways. Instead of making all those persons whom he loved dependent on his future bounty, as expectants at his death, he became, himself, the executor of his own will, and by the most magnificent aid to all his relatives, he not only laid the foundation, but lived to see the maturity, of all those establishments which now give such importance to his fa mily. Nor was it merely to his relations that this seasonable friendship was given, but to the young men, whom he had bred in his mercantile house, and of whose virtuous dispositions he approved. Some of the most eminent merchants in the city of London are proud to acknowledge the gratitude they owe to David Barclay, for the means of their first introduction into life, and for the benefits of his counsel and countenance in their early stages of it. It is a proof of the sagacity of his patronage that he had very few occasions to repent of the protection he had conferred. And the uninterrupted happiness he enjoyed for many years in the midst of the numerous connections he had reared, held out a lively example, and a lesson to others, of the value of a just and well-directed beneficence. His virtue was not limited to his relatives, to his friends, to his sect, to his country, or to the colour of his species he was a man of the warmest affections, and therefore loved his family and friends he was a patriot, and therefore preferred his own country to all others; but he was a Christian, and felt for the human race. No man therefore was ever more active than David Barclay, in promoting whatever might ameliorate the condition of man-largely endowed by Providence with the means, he felt it to be his duty to set great examples; and when an argument was set up against the emancipation of the negroes from slavery," that they were too ignorant and too barbarous for freedom," he resolved, at his own expense, to demonstrate the fallacy of the imputation. Having had an estate in Jamaica fail to him, he determined at the expense of 10,0001. to emancipate the whole gang (as they are termed) of slaves. He did this with his usual prudence as well as generosity. He sent out an agent to Jamaica, and made him hire a vessel, in

which they were all transported to America, where the little community was established in various handicraft trades; the members of it prospered under the blessing of his care, and lived to shew that the black skin inclosedhearts as full of gratitude, and minds as capable of improvement, as that of the proudest white. Such was the conduct of this English merchant! During all this course of welldoing, his own manners were simple, his hospitality large, and his charities universal. He founded a house of industry near his own residence, on such solid principles, that, though it cost him 15001. for several years, he succeeded in his object of making it a source of comfort, and even of independence, to all the well disposed families of the poor around. The numberiess individual acts of his benevolence, though discriminate, was never degraded by the nariowness of a religious distinction. Mr David Barclay was twice married he had but one daughter by his first marriage, who was married to Richard Gurney, esq. of Norwich. She was a most beautiful and benevolent woman, every way worthy of such a father. She died some years ago, leaving issue, Hudson Gurney, esq. and the wife of Sampson Hanbury, esq.-Nothing could surpass the tranquillity of his last moments. He was composed, cheerful, and resigned. He had no struggle with life; he rather ceased to live than felt the pang of death.

NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM.

On Monday, the 15th May, the inhabitants of Alnwick, and its vicinity, were gratified by the completion of an undertaking hitherto unattempted in the north, viz. the delivering of coals at Alnwick, from Shilbottle colliery, by waggons conveyed along a metal rail-road. The immense sums annually paid for this indispensable necessary of life in the county-town of Northumberland, have long been severely felt, and of late years have produced the effect of almost depriving the poorer classes of the community of so essential a comfort in this chill climate: coals have lately been sold to the consumer at the exhorbitant rate of two guineas a Newcastle chaldron, (a price unexampled in any other part of the county,) nearly one-half of which was charged by hired cartmen for leading. The rail-road passes invariably through the grounds of his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, the proprietor of the mine; and, by its judicious direction, the distance is only three miles from the colliery to the staith, possessing the most important advantage, that not a shilling way-leave is paid. Coals have already considerably fallen in price; and the whole of this spirited and laudable undertaking has been planned and executed by, and at the sole expense of, Mr. John Taylor, the lessee of Shilbottle colliery.
