It is with regret also that I mention the decease of Mr. William Bowden, which took place at Kennington, the residence of his son, on the8th July last. The deceased gentleman arrived in the colony in the year 1838, and shortly after his arrival had the misfortune to lose his wile, leaving him with a family of five sons and four daughters ;and about three months after his wife's death, that of his eldest son followed. For two or three year she resided in Sydney, and afterwards at Lake Macquarie, but in the year 1846 be removed to Hexham, on the Hunter River, engaging in farming operations with his sons, and finally ending his days at Kennington, near Hexham. Al-though not taking any active part in public matters, he nevertheless, from his kindly disposition, obtained the respect and esteem of a very large circle of friends Three months previous to his death symptoms presented themselves, which, owing to his great age, compelled those around him to sum-mise that a breaking up of the system was about to take place. It was soon evident that a correct conclusion had been come to, for he gradually became worse, and subsequently dropsy set in, from which he succumbed as before stated, regretted not only by his own family but by a large circle of friends. The deceased was born in Kent, England, in the year 1796, and at the time of his death was within a month of his 86 birthday, and a resident of the colony nearly 44 years. It may be mentioned that at the time of hie death there were living of the de-ceased 62 grand children and 73 great grand children.
