Our August Obituary announced the untimely death of a Friend, the earliest Contributor to the LoNDon Magazine, Octavius Graham Gilchrist: another is now added to the list

Of precious Friends hid in Death's dateless night.

The following notice appeared in the daily papers:—

Died at his apartments in Upper Conway-street, on the 8th of September, Richard Ayton, Esq. aged 37, fourth son of the late W. Ayton, Esq. of Macclesfield.

Who will not feel sorry to hear that the above paragraph records the Death of our R. A.? While his description of Johnny Wolgar was delighting every heart, his own was become cold even as that Old Sea Roamer's. Manly sense, and an original turn of thinking, with a sprightly graphic manner of telling his story, and a vigorous, yet unaffected style, were the characteristics of R. A. as a writer. His virtues as a Man are a theme for his friends to muse on, too sacred at present for the language of panegyric. The most natural expression of our opinion on such a subject would be thought too strong, and would be perhaps liable to the imputation of proceeding from an undiscriminating regard. We shall leave therefore to a future time, when his essays will be collected, and published together with some of his letters, the full record of his character: he put so much head and heart into all his writings, that every scrap of them is valuable.

He died of atrophy, which in proportion as it consumed his body seemed to emancipate his noble mind, which was never displayed more fully than towards the last.

The gentle and sensitive Robert Bloomfield, another Friend and Correspondent, though not of the LONDON MAGAZINE, ought not to pass to the grave unnoticed. We are obliged to one of our oldest Contributors for affording us the means of doing justice to his memory, a tribute the more valuable because it is so rare among Brother Poets.

VERSES

ON THE DEATH OF BLOOMFIELD, THE SUFFOLK POET.

BY BERNARD BARTON.

THOU shouldst not to the grave descend
Unmourn'd, unhonour'd, or unsung;
Could harp of mine record thy end,
For thee that rude harp should be
strung,-

And plaintive sounds as ever rung
Should all its simple notes employ,

Lamenting unto old and young,
The Bard who sang THE FARMER'S
Bor.

Could Eastern Anglia boast a lyre
Like that which gave thee modest fame,
How justly might its every wire

Thy minstrel honours loud proclaim:
And many a stream of humble name,
And village-green, and common wild-
Should witness tears that knew not shame,
By Nature won for Nature's child.

The merry HORKEY's passing cup
Should pause-when that sad note was
heard;

The WIDOW turn HER HOUR-GLASS UP,
With tenderest feelings newly stirr'd;
And many a pity-waken'd word,
And sighs that speak when language fails,
Should prove thy simple strains preferr'd
To prouder Poet's lofty tales.

Circling the OLD OAK TABLE round,

Whose moral worth thy measure owns,
Heroes and heroines yet are found

Like ABNER AND THE WIDOW JONES;
There GILBERT MELDRUM's sterner

tones

In Virtue's cause are bold and free;
And e'en the patient suff'rer's moans,
In pain, and sorrow-
w-plead for thee.
