Mrs White humanely supplied the mother and infants with every necessary.

28. At Up Park Camp, Jamaica, of yellow fever, after an illness of 48 hours, Lieutenant George Mackie, 92d regiment. Lieutenant Mackie was the 6th surviving son of the late William Mackie, Ormiston, East Lothian. He began his military life

as Ensign in the 92d regiment, or Gordon Highlanders, in which he served for the period of eleven years, the last four of which he filled the situation of Adjutant to the corps. He was present with this distinguished regiment during its campaigns in Portugal and Spain, and shared its glory in the field of Waterloo, where it made itself so conspicuous, where all were brave. There he received a wound, from the effects of which he was continuing to suffer at the time of his decease. Mild in his temper, but ardent in his affections-eager, as far as his power extended, to promote the happiness of others, Lieutenant Mackie was, in his turn, a favourite with all, while his keen sense of honour, and the refinement of his manners, made love be always mingled with respect. In the affairs of life, there is generally a combination of circumstances, and a favourable conjuncture of events, without the aid of which, merit is kept comparatively obscure, but in the clearness of his perception, in the soundness of his judgment, his accurate discharge of duty, and the anxiety he evinced to rise in his profession, there was enough to warrant the conclusion, that, had life been spared, and a wider field been opened for exertion, he would have left behind him a more unperishing memorial, than the affectiofiate regrets of his admiring friends.
