T Whampoa, in China, in his

1791. April 20. At Perth, Mrs Kathrin Gairdener, relict of Mr. Wm. Wilfon, late merchant in Perth. She had been for many years deprived of her speech, and an almost total lofs of all power of the right fide, and, for thefe ten years paft, confined to her house by a relaxation of the whole nervous system. Her judgement, however, remained quite unimpaired, and a degree of quickness feemed rather to increase with her diftrefs. The facility with which the expreffed herself was really aftonishing. With the affistance of a few figns (in the choice of which the was exceedingly ingenious), understood, however, by none but her fon and daughter, efpecially the laft, fhe could relate a story, in almost all its circumstances, which happened forty or fifty years ago, with amazing readinefs. She bore her long distress with the moft exemplary refignation to the will of Heaven, and maintained a constant chearfulnefs of mind, to the admiration of all who faw her. The immediate caufe of her death was a Aroke of the pally on the left fide, with a relaxation of the mufcles of the thorax and mouth, and of the whole nervous fyftem; and although in the most extreme trouble, her recollection continued till within a little time of her death. She knew her children, and kiffed their hands in the most grateful manner for their attention to her. She died in the 6:ft year of her age; had been very handsome when young, and had the remains of a fine face to the laft.

May.... Mrs. Buchan, the leader of a few deluded people, who for a time refided in the neighbourhood of Thorntonhill, near Dumfries. Her followers were greatly reduced in number; but Mr. White, once a relief-minifter, continued till her laft. Finding fhe was going the way of all the earth, fhe called her difciples together, and exhorted them to continue ftedfaft and unanimous in their adherence to the doctrine which they had received from her. She then told them, fhe had still one fecret to communicate; which was, that he was the Virgin Mary, the real mother of our Lord; that he was the fame woman mentioned in the Revelations as being cloathed with the fun, &c. who was driven into the wilderness: that she had been wandering in the world ever fince our Saviour's days, and for fome time paft the had fojourned in Scotland: that though here the appeared to die, they needed not to be discouraged, for the would only

sleep a little, and in a fhort time would again vifit them, and conduct them to the New Jerufalem. After he died, it was a long time before her enthusiastic votaries would straighten or drefs the corpfe; nor did they coffin her until they were obliged thereto by the fmell; and after that, they would not bury her, but built up the coffin in a corner of the barn, always expecting that the would rife again from the dead, according to her promife, and conduct them to Jerufalem. At last, the people in the country around, fhocked with thefe proceedings, interfered, went to a juftice of the peace, and got an order that she should be buried. So that the famous Mrs. Buchan of the Weft is now lodged in the house appointed for all living.

June 3. Mrs. Hatt, wife of Mr. Rich. H. of Wormley, Herts.

8. At Chichester, in his 64th year, Capt. James Alms, of the royal navy.-This ornament of the British navy was a native of Gofport, in the county of Southampton. In the 14th year of his age he acted as aid-de. camp to Capt. Watfon, of the Dragon, in the engagement of Mathews and Leftock, and received from his commander many marks of approbation. From the Dragon he went to the Namur, of 74 guns, which ship bore a part in the memorable capture of the French squadron, and their East India convoy, by Lord Anfon, May 3, 1747. In October following, in the fame fhip, he accompanied Admiral Bofcawen to the Eaft Indies. This fhip, with three others, was wrecked on the Coromandel coaft, in April, 1749; but our young hero, referved by Pro-vidence for more brilliant fervices, was one out of 23 faved from the crew of the Namur. Immediately after this difafter, he was promoted to be lieutenant of the Syren, in which ship he came home. In 1754 he failed again for the East Indies, as commander of the Hardwicke Indiaman, in which he was prefent at the attack of the Geriah under Sir Charles Watfon. But war breaking out between France and Great Britain, în 1758, he accompanied Mr. Ives, who published the hiftory of the voyage, over land, to offer his fervice in the line of his profettion. Nov. 20, 1759, he was first lieutenant of the Mars, in the victory obtained by Sir E. Hawke over Conflans. In June, 1761, he was promoted to the rank of mafter and commander. February, 1762, he failed, as acting captain of the Alarm frigate, to the West Indies, and was at the taking of Martinico. Shortly after this, he took an armed floop of 18 guns, and another of 12 guns. June 3, on his pai fage with the British fleet, deftined for Havannah, by the fuperior failing of the Alarm he came up with, and, after an hour's engagement, took two Spannth thips of war, one of 22 guns, nine-pounders, and 18 men, the other of 18 guns, and 80 men. In this action feveral balls paifed through his hat, and GENT. MAG. July, 1791.

he was wounded in the knee: 14 men were killed in the Alarm, and 26 wounded.During the arduous fervice at the reduction of the Havannah, Capt. Alms was entrusted, by the commander in chief, on many important occafions; but it remains one of thofe unaccountable neglects in the fortune of many deferving officers, that he was not appointed a poft captain till 1755; from which time, till September, 1785, Capt. A. enjoyed, with his family at Chichester, every pleature from domestic attachment, till he was appointed to the Monmouth, of 64 guns, in which fhip he failed under Commodore Johnstone for the East fries. The fpirited manner in which he fought the Monmouth, in Port Prava Bay, was an introduction to what Monf. Sufi ein afterwards experienced from him in ..: obftinate engagements between the two fleets in India. The fhips which were deftined for Madras proceeded, under his command, to join Sir Edward Hughes; and, after braving uncommon hardfhips from the unfavourable feason, it was accomplished on the 14th of February. The active and refolute fpirit of the French Admiral is yet recent in the mind of every The most confpicuous thare which Capt. Alms had in any action was on the memorable 12th of April. He was this day fecond to Sir Edward Hughes. Suffrein bore down with an intention, it was thought, to board the British Admiral. Capt. Alims, perceiving this, lutfed up the Monmouth, raked his enemy, and fruftrated his manœuvre. Capt. Alms had now to furtain a terrible fire from Suffrein and his two feconds, which continued until the Monmouth's main and mizen mafts fell overboard. Suffi ein, whofe hip had fustained prodigious damage, perceiving the fituation of his antagonist, took French leave, while the fhattered Monmouth continued her fire as long as her fhot could reach him. On the fmoke clearing away as the firing ceafed, Capt. Ims found himfelf far to windward, fet his fore fail, which was all he had, and boldly fired at the French line as he passed to join the British fleet. this dreadful conflict with the enemy, the Monmouth's colours, being twice thot away, were nailed to the ftump of the mizen mas, never to be ftruck. Seven guns were difmounted, 45 men killed, and 102 wounded. The Captain himfelf had two wounds in his face from fplinters, two mufket-balls went thro' his hat, his hair was on fire, his coat torn between the fhoulders, and one of the ikhts fhot away. The wheel was twice cleared; and only two, with himself, remained on the quarter-deck. Happy was it for the country that fuch an hero had to oppofe the dar ing and intrepid courage of Suffrein, a naval officer fuperior to any that France ever pio. duced. But while we contemplate with wonder this heroic action, and while the -page of Hiftory hall record it to poterity, as never fupelled in naval warfare, the finer
