A pulmonary complaint had debilitated his system, and the journey which he took to settle the concerns of his late respectable uncle Colonel Benj. Hawkins, rather protracted than accelerated his death, it is presumed. Mr. H. was in the prime of an useful and valuable life.-a life endeared to him by many tender and sacred ties. A wife and seven children, the youngest 10 days old, remain to deplore the loss of the kindest of husbands and fathers. A venerable parent lives also to mourn the loss of one of the dearest props of his existence.
