BABINGTON, William, M.D.,
April 29th, 1833, at his house in
Devonshire Street, Portland Place;
aged 76.

Dr. Babington was formerly Apothe-

cary, and afterwards Physician and Lec-
turer on Medicine and Chemistry, at
Guy's Hospital.

His publications were not numerous,
consisting of,—" A systematic Arrange-
ment of Minerals, founded on the joint
Consideration of their chemical, physi-
cal, and external Characters," 4to.
1795. "A new System of Minera-
logy, in the form of a Catalogue, after
the manner of Baron Born's Catalogue
of the Fossils of M. de Raab," 4to.
1799; and some contributions to
"Nicholson's Journal" and the "Me-
dico-Chirurgical Transactions."

By the death of this venerable physi-
cian the profession has been deprived
of a distinguished ornament, and the
public of a kind, liberal, and en-
lightened practitioner; while the scien-
tific world will have to deplore a man
who formed, as it were, the connecting
link between the 'departed and living
philosophers of the last half century;
for, from Priestley (at whose centenary
festival he so lately presided) down to
Wollaston and Davy, Dr. Babington
was the personal friend and agreeable
associate of the most distinguished per-
sons of this country. In truth, his
amiable temper, gentle manners, sound
judgment, liberal sentiments, and va-
ried information, rendered his society
highly acceptable to a class of men
whose stern and laborious abstractions
occasionally required the soothing re-
pose of friendly intercourse and the
exhilarating relief of enlivening con-
versation.

He expired after an illness of a few
days' duration. At its commencement
his disease presented the ordinary cha-
racter of the prevailing influenza; but,
in consequence of his advanced age
and unremitting professional exertion,
it speedily assumed the more alarming
form of peripneumonia notha.

A public subscription has been set
on foot for a monument to Dr. Babing-
ton's memory.-Gentleman's Magazine.

BAILLIE, John, Esq. of Leys,
Invernesshire, M. P. for the Inverness
district of burghs, a Director of the
East India Company, and a Colonel
on the Bengal establishment; April
20. 1833; at his house in Devonshire
Place, in the 61st year of his age.

In November, 1791, this officer ar-
rived in India, having been appointed
to a cadetship on the Bengal Establish-
ment in the preceding year. In 1797
he was employed by Lord Teignmouth
to translate from the Arabic language

civil and judicial system into that por-
tion of the province which had been
subjected to the British authority, prin-
cipally by the means of Captain Bail-
lie's exertions, admitted his return to
the Presidency in July, 1805.

Notwithstanding the various arrange-
ments concluded by this officer, much
remained to be accomplished for the
complete establishment of the Com-
pany's rights in Bundlecund. Of the
territory ceded by the Peishwa, under
the additional articles of the treaty of
Bassein, to the extent of 3,616,000
rupees, annual produce, lands of the
value of twelve lacs of rupees per an-
num only had been acquired. The
Jaidad of the late Hummut Behader
yet remained to be resumed; and the
situation of the numerous chiefs in
Bundlecund relatively to the British
Government, together with various other
important questions connected with the
establishment of the British authority
in the province, continued unadjusted.
Accordingly, in December, 1805, Capt.
Baillie was sent on a second mission to
Bundlecund. The first success of his
exertions was manifested in the peace-
able dismissal of the turbulent and
ferocious body of Nangahs, the con-
tinuance of which in the service of
the Company opposed a material ob-
stacle to every salutary arrangement.
The next object he accomplished was
the complete resumption of the Jaidad
lands of the late Hummut Behader,
without the slightest commotion, al-
though opposed by the powerful influ
ence of the family and a numerous
body of military chieftains, in com-
mand of large bodies of troops and in
possession of numerous forts; thus
effecting the peaceable transfer to ths
British dominions of a territory yield-
ing an annual revenue of eighteen lace
of rupees (225,000. sterling), with
the sacrifice only of a Jaghere of little
more than one lac of rupees per annum.
On the death of Colonel Collins in
1807, Captain Baillie was appointed
Resident at Lucknow, where he re-
mained till the end of 1815; and in
June, 1818, he was placed on the
retired list.

The following are the dates of this
officer's commissions: Ensign, 15th
March, 1793; Lieutenant, 17th Nov.
1794; Captain, 30th September, 1803;
Major, 2d January, 1811, and Lieut.-
Colonel, 14th July, 1815.

After returning to England, Colonel
Baillie was, in 1820, elected to Parlia-

Admiral Ballard was a nephew of
the late Admiral Vashon. When a
midshipman he accompanied Captain
Vancouver on the laborious and anxious
voyage of discovery to the north-west
coast of America, in which he was
absent from England about four years
and nine months. In 1798, when
commanding the Hobart sloop of war
on the East India station, he was
posted into the Carysfort, of 28 guns.
He subsequently commanded the Jason
frigate, De Ruyter 68, Berschemer
50, and Blonde 38. Whilst in the
latter ship, he captured, in the autumn
of 1807, five French privateers, the
total of whose guns amounted to fifty-
eight, and their men to 515.

Towards the close of 1809, Capt.
Ballard was employed in the blockade
of Guadaloupe, and, under the com-
mand of Capt. S. J. Ballard, as-
sisted in the destruction of two French
frigates in Ance la Barque, together
with a heavy battery by which they
were defended. The credit of this
achievement chiefly belonged to him
and Capt. Miller, the rest of the squa-
dron being kept back by baffling winds.
The loss of the Blonde was 7 killed
and 17 wounded. In the general
order issued by Sir George Beckwith
after the capture of Guadaloupe, Capt.
Ballard's name was mentioned in terms
of high approbation; as also by the
naval Commander-in-Chief in his pub-
lic letter announcing the conquest of
the colony.

Capt. Ballard attained the rank of
Rear-Admiral in 1825. He married,
Sept. 18. 1811, Isabella-Sarah, eldest
daughter of James Crabb, of Shidfield
Lodge, in Hampshire, Esq. His re-
mains were interred in the new church

This officer was not related, we
believe, to the subject of our present
memoir, although they were intimate
friends. They both resided at Bath,
and the Rear-Admiral attended the
funeral of the former.

He had a remarkable facility in writ-
ing rhymes, a power which he put to
constant service. Even his Guides and
Directories presented a motley appear-
ance, half prose and half verse.
following are the titles of his principal
productions: "A Poetic Survey round
Birmingham, with a brief Description
of the different Curiosities and Manu-
factures of the Place, accompanied by
a magnificent Directory, with the Names
and Professions, &c., superbly engraved
in emblematical Plates," 1800, 12mo.
"Songs on the Peace," 1802. "The
Converts; a moral Tale, recommending
the Practice of Humanity," &c. 1802,
8vo. "The Patriotic Clarion; or,
Britain's Call to Glory: original Songs,
written on the threatened Invasion."
"Critical Essays on the dramatical Es-
says of the young Roscius; by Gentle
men of literary Talents and theatrical
Amateurs,opposed to the Hypercriticisms
of anonymous Writers; interspersed with
interesting Anecdotes," 1804. "Bir-
mingham Directory;" with forty-five
Copperplates, 1808, 8vo. "A Guide
to Leamington," 1814, 12mo. "Comic
Strictures on Birmingham's Fine Arts
and Conversaziones, by an old Towns-
man," 1829; in which he says,

To the foregoing catalogue might be
added (were it possible to collect them)
a long series of ephemeral verses, which
his loyal and patriotic muse was con-
tinually pouring forth on every public
occasion, and on the periodical recur-
rence of the Shakspearian jubilees at
Stratford.

Mr. Bisset's ingenious and amusing
qualifications, added to a disposition
ever lively and desirous to please, pro-
cured him the esteem of his neighbours
and visiters. His mind was ever active
in suggesting public improvements, or
in increasing, by his epigrammatic verse,
the mirth and hilarity of his friends.
He was a student of the arts, and exe-
cuted some and collected many paint-
ings of celebrity. In whatever society

he was placed, by a happy union of good
humour, knowledge, and vivacity, he
was always one of the favourites of the
circle; and he will be long remembered
by his friends as an intelligent and amu-
sing companion, an amiable friend, and
a liberal and useful philanthropist. –

zine.

BONER, Mr. Charles Antony; in
Charlotte Street, Portland Place, in
his 73d year.

Born of an ancient family, which then
resided at Oberessendorf, near the Lake
of Constance, in Swabia, he was sent to
the University of Fribourg; but which
he was compelled to leave in conse-
quence of his reluctance to enter the
Church,· -a profession which his father
had, without considering the bias of his
son's mind, chosen for him; and thus,
at the age of eighteen, he found himself
a martyr for conscience sake, and with-
out fortune, friends, or even a home.
But as his family were much respected
in that part of Germany, he soon became
acquainted with some persons of rank
and influence there, and who subse-
quently evinced the sincerity of their
friendship by their efforts to promote
the success of his first appearance as an
author; when, to prove his fitness for
the character of a teacher, the line he
had determined to adopt, he published
"The Road to Virtue and Knowledge."
Conceiving, however, that a wider field
was open for his exertions in other coun-
tries, he quitted Germany for France,
and there supported himself by giving
lessons in Mathematics, German, and
the Classics, until he obtained the situa-
tion of a private tutor in the family of
a French nobleman; and with whom
he continued till both were compelled
by the French Revolution to seek an
asylum in England; where Mr. Boner
was happily enabled by the produce of
his lessons, not only to support himself,
but to assist even his former friends, re-
duced to distress as severe as it was un-
expected and undeserved.

When the College at Sandhurst was
instituted, Mr. Boner made an applica-
tion to Colonel Marchant for the pro-
fessorship of Mathematics, and he was
shortly afterwards actually nominated
for that situation; but another person
eventually obtained the appointment.

In he received the thanks of the
Board of Admiralty for the invention of
a Quadrant of Reduction, or Sinical
Quadrant, which he presented to them,
accompanied by a description, to show
