BAPTISM at Bloemhof, District Graaff Reinet, 31st January last by Rev. A. Murray, a son of Mr.William SOUTHEY named William Geddes Bain.

DIED at Salem on Sunday 9th instant, Mr. Samuel BONNIN, aged 64 years. Deceased was one of the founders of the Albany Settlement, having arrived in this colony with the British emigrants of 1820. Though led since by business to various parts of the colony, his residence has chiefly been at Salem, where, as he had wished, he died. He was a man of considerable natural talent and of most active mind; while his hospitality, his social temper and his kindliness of heart will long be remembered by his family, and all within the circle of his acquaintance. The disease which terminated his earthly career was most painful, but he bore his suffering with the fortitude, the resignation and the hope of the Christian. His end was peace.

DIED on the 11th instant at Birbury, near Bathurst, at the residence of T.J.BIDDULPH Esq, Wilhelmina Theodora Elizabeth BIDDULPH, widow of the late John Burnet BIDDULPH Esq of Graaff Reinet, aged 36 years, after a long and painful illness, borne with exemplary patience, leaving five orphan children to deplore her premature death.

BIRTH on the 15th instant at Fort Beaufort the Lady of Captain John McLEAN, 57th Inniskillingers, of a Son.

It is with poignant regret we announce the very unexpected demise, on the 17th instant, of the Rev. G. BOOTH, Acting Military Chaplain at Fort Beaufort. Deceased performed as usual Divine Service on Good Friday, but was shortly after attacked by an inflammatory affection of the bowels, which terminated in death on the Monday following. He was in the 52nd year of his age. It is due to his memory to remark that although resident in this Colony only about two years, yet that his zeal, ability and punctuality in the discharge of all his duties, had gained for him the respect and confidence of the church of which he was a minister.

DIED at Klip Fontein on the 17th instant, Sybilla Mitford, youngest daughter of B.E. BOWKER, aged one year and five months.
