It is with great regret that we learn the death of Henry, Lord Cockburn, one of the Judges of the Court of Semsion in Scotland, which took place in Edinburgh on the 26th inst., after a short illness. Attached, during the whole course of a long and active life, to the capital of his native country, Lord Cockburn adorned the bar of Scotland by his eloquence, the bench by his sagawity, and the. society of Edinburgh by his playful and affectionate disposition. He held for upwards of half a century a conspicuous place in that remarksablo society of Edinburgh to Wrhich he has himself raised no unworthy monument in his Life of Lord Jsffrey. Throighouit his whole career he was ardently devoted to liberal principles and to the cause of public improvement. His legal pursuits were accompanied by a strong taste for literature and an enlightened appreciation of the fine arts. Both in speaking and in wriing his style was nervous and original to a remarkable degree; and the name of Lord Cockburn deserves to be remembered among those Scottish worthies w.ho hve dono nost honour to their profession and their country.
