THE late Mr STEWART, Lecturer on Botany, who died at Edinburgh on the 3d ult. was a gentleman of very superior literary accomplishments, and particularly ardent and indefatigable in the pursuit of his favourite science of Botany. Botany in him, it may truly be said, has lost a valuable investigator and teacher; indeed, he was just beginning to reap that due meed of approbation from his contemporaries, consequent upon his arduous and enlightened exertions. His correspondence with literary characters in this department in his own country, and even abroad, was every day extending. The Royal Physical Society of Edinburgh, of which he was a member, early appreciated his merits, and of this society he was twice elected President. Subse quently, Mr Stewart became a member of the Medical Society, and also of the Wernerian Society of this city. He was one of the candidates for the botanical chair in the University of Glasgow last year, but when he heard of the nomination of Dr Hooker, he was delighted, and declared that this circumstance made up for his own disappointment. His acquirements in the moral and physical sciences had early recommended him as a junior friend to the first literary characters in those branches, and among others to the late Dr T. Brown, Professor of Moral Fhilosophy. In the ill state of health which eventually terminated in the lamented death of that distinguished philosopher, Mr Stewart had the honour to be selected to read his lec tures, and selected wholly by Dr Brown himself. It may be added, that so gratified and sensible were the gentlemen attending the Moral Philosophy class of the zeal and ability with which Mr Stewart performed the duties of the office, that they unanimously voted to him a piece of gold plate, as a testimony of their approbation. Mr Stewart has since edited that gentleman's lectures; indeed, he may be said to have expired while engaged in the correction of the last sheets of his friend's posthumous work. A valuable article, under the title Musci, to appear in the next number of the Edinburgh Encyclopædia, was also but just finished by Mr Stewart at this eventful period. It may not perhaps be generally known, that Mr Stewart had availed himself of an eligible and very flattering offer of going out as a naturalist for a few years to South America, (Chili,) where a vast field of botanical research, hitherto but very partially explored, awaited him; and where a mind, vigorous and ardent as his, was to have full scope in the prosecution of its favourite pursuit. His books, papers, and apparatus, were packing, and he himself prepares to sail, but the fiat of Omnipotence had gone forth; the fond anticipa tion of friends, his own well laid arrange. ments for successful investigation, the hopes, and, in him, the longings of science, were all to fade and pass from view, and he was to be numbered with the silent, but not forgotten in the grave. THE LATE PROFESSOR YOUNG. DIED at Glasgow, on the 13th inst. JOHN YOUNG, A. M. Professor of Greek in the College of Glasgow, deeply lamented by his family and his friends by the society of which, during the long period of fortysix years, he was a distinguished member and by the literary world, as one of the first Greek scholars of the age. This distinguished literary character, so long the ornament of the University of Glasgow, departed this life very suddenly. He had gone in to take a warm bath at George's Inn, in perfect health, between three and four in the afternoon of that day, and upon the servant entering the room he found him sitting lifeless in the water. On Thursday his remains were attended to the grave by a vast number, consisting of almost the whole body belonging to the College, along with the principal of the clergy, and numerous friends and admirers. All the classes, along with the professors, walked in their gowns. His own (viz. the Greek) class walked first in order, each of the individuals composing it exhibiting evident marks of grief for the heavy loss they had sustained in the death of their lamented Professor. These were followed by the Professors; after whom came the other gown classes. The streets were filled with innumerable spectators. His remains were deposited in the burial-ground of the College.
