Advice has lately been received of the death of Major Houghton. This unfortunate African Traveller was a Gentleman of Ire

land, who got through a very genteel fortune; and, during the late war, ferved with great approbation as Fort-Major of Gorce in Africa.-Some excurfions in the country gave him fame acquaintance with the cha racter and language of the natives, and particularly qualified him for the fituation in which he was latterly employed.

After having been for fome time a widower, this gentleman, about the year 1783 married a lady in Spring-Gardens, the re putation of whofe fortune drew his credi. tors about him with fuch troublesome im portunity, that by this otherwife eligible match, his embarraffinents were rather auge mented than diminished. Th`s it was, added to a very enterprising fpirit, that probably induced him to clofe with a propofal of the African Society, and undertake to explore fuch interior parts of that Continent as did not come within the route of the romantic Vaillant and philofophic Gordoa.

When the Major fet out upon the expe dit on, a fon of his, then an officer at Gorec, preffed very hard to be the companion of his travels; but the father's prudence induced him fteadily to cut every folicita tion of that nature.

There are few men better qualified than Major Houghton was for fuch an exped tion. Though upwards of 50 years of age, his conflitution was vigorous, and his frame manly and robuft. He poked uncom mon courage and refolution, with a cool and well-regulated temper. His addrefs was infinuating, and he had, in a very peculiar degree, the art of varying his man ners, and accommodating himself to the difpofitions and characters of thofe he had to deal with. He had the advantage of a liberal education, and his reading, for a uilitary man, and a man of pleature, was tolerably extenfive.

The writer of this article, who had the honour of being well acquainted with him, never obferved that the Major had any Botanical knowledge, which was the only way in which the refearches of fo ingenious a be eminently useful. His man may not correfpondence with the African Society will in due time be given to the public; but there is every reafon to think that it will contain but a very trifling part of the information which his Travels were intended to afford. He kept, if we are not inif informed, a very accurate journal of every occurrence worthy of notice, which it was his defign to publifh upon his return for his own and his family's advant ge; judg ing, very rationally, that it would afford him a more adequate compenfation than he could reafonably expect from the funds of the Society.

The next arrivals will probable inform us whether or not thefe Journals have been preferved.
