DEATHS

DEATHS ABROAD.

At New York, Sept. 16, 1798, I. B. Scandella, M. D. aged 28, a native of the Venetian ftate, and defcended from a family of rank and opulence. He received the best medical education, but confecrated his talents to the general improvement of fcience, and the benefit of mankind. Having refided for fome time at London in the capacity of fecretary to the Venetian embaffy, he conceived the defign of vifiting America. His country's fervice no longer demanding his attention, he propofed to gratify his liberal curiofity in furveying the principles and structure of a rifing empire. He first vifited Quebec, and thence took various journeys through the northern and western diftricts. His chief attention was directed to agricultural improvements, justly conceiving that mankind would derive moft benefit from the perfection of that ufeful art. Having spent two years in America, and accomplished the purposes of his vifit, he embarked for Europe in June, 1798. The veffel, however, proving unfit for the voyage, He returned to Philadelphia, and from thence proceeded to New York. An epidemical difcafe had meanwhile made its appearance in both cities. Notwithstanding its greater progrefs and malignity in Philadelphia, his concern in the welfare of a helpiefs family, whom his departure had deprived of their only ufeful friend, induced him to return thither. After enduring continual lofs of reft, and expofing himfelf to the influence of an infected atmosphere for ten days, he fet out on his return to New York, where he had fcarcely arrived before fymptoms of difeafe appeared, which on the fixth day terminated in death.

At the fame place, in Sept. 19, 1798, the celebrated Elihu Hubbard Smith, phyfician, aged 27 years, who fell a victim to the deftructive epidemic in that city. There were few who perished during that calamitous feafon, whole fate excited more aniverfal regret, and whofe memory will be more fondly and permanently cherished. In his domeftic relations, the knowledge of his excellence is neceflarily confined to few; but by thofe few, his conduct as a fon and a brother, will ever be regarded as a model of unblemished rectitude. Indefatigable in the promotion of the true intereft of thofe allied to him, a cafual obferver would have imagined that he, whofe affections were fo ardent, whofe mind was fo active for their good, had no leifure for the offices of friendship, or the ftudy of the general good. To thefe valuable purpofes, however, no one attended more zealoufly. He was a native of Lichfield in Connecticut, and received the first rudiments of his education at New York. He entered the college of Newhaven at the age of eleven, where he gave early proofs of intellectual attainments. His education was completed under the care of the Rev. Timothy Dwight, who kept a fchool of confiderable repute at

Greenfield. At the age of 17 he returned to Lichfield, and commenced the ftudy of medicine under the direction of his father. In the year 1791 he arrived in Philadelphia, and attended the medical lectures that are annually delivered in that city. In the fucceeding year he fettled for fome time as a practitioner of phyfic at Wethersfield in Connecticut; but removed, in the autumn of 1793, to New York, where he remained till the time of his death. His talents could not otherwife than flowly furmount the obftacles which were thrown in the way of his profeffional fuccefs by his youth, and by the want of patronage. Befides his medical purfuits, he cultivated, with fuccefs, almoft every branch of literature. He was carly diftinguished by his attachment to the mufes, which is attefted by a great number of juvenile compofitions. Thefe have found their way, in different forms, to the world, and manifeft a vigour of imagination which, with the advantages of age and experience, would have rendered him an honour to his country. As a phyfician, his lofs is irreparable. He had explo red, at an early age, an extent of medical learning, for which the longest lives are feldom found fufficient. His diligence and activity, his ardour and perfeve rance, knew no bounds. The love of fcience and the impulse of philanthropy directed his whole profeffional career, and left little room for the calculations of emolument. He had formed vaft designs of medical improvement, which embraced the whole family of mankind, were animated by the foul of benevolence, and afpired after every object of a liberal and dignified ambition. He was ripe for the highest honours of his profeffion; his merits were every day becoming more confpicuous, when his premature death deprived him of that extraordinary degree of public confidence which awaited him. In 1796 the corporation of New York Hofpital appointed him one of the phyficians of that charity. His writings, already published, excite regret that the number of them is not greater. They difplay fingular diligence and acutenefs of refearch, accurate and extensive obfervation, great force and precifion of reafoning, and a vigorous and comprehenfive mind. Though funk into the fhades of inaction and filence, his example cannot cease to offer instruction, nor fail to attract imitation. His plans for the alleviation of human mifery, and the advancement of human happinefs, though deprived of their author and fupporter, will not entirely perish.

Of that very ufeful periodica! work the MEDICAL REPOSITORY, published at New York, he was one of the most zealous founders, and one of the most active and ardent promoters. In its establishment he had fondly anticipated the diffufion of useful knowledge, the improvement of medicine, and the advancement of the intereft and welfare of mankind.

The continuance of fevere froft, during almoft the whole month, has again produced a great interruption of mercantile correfpondence, by the detention of the Hamburgh mails, and the orders from the continent being thus kept back, has caufed a heavy market for the principal articles of export, though there has been no confiderable decline of price. The average price of raw fugars for the week, ending the 20th, was 70s. 1d. exclufive of duty. The East India company's fale of filk, which commenced the 26th, confifts of only 408 bales of China raw, 498 bales of Bengal raw, 44 bales of Bengal organzine, and 5 bales of waste; but the company referve to themselves the liberty of felling a further quantity of the Bengal filk lately arrived, not exceeding 1200 bales, which, it is fuppofed, will be fold in June. The China filk has fold higher than the laft fale, the average price of fuperfine being 30s. 4d. The Bengal organzine is fuperior in quality to any they have before fold, five bales were particularly curious, but have not fold at the price it was expected they would fetch; the average price of the whole was 27s. 3d. There has been a very small import of Italian filk during the prefent month, and little alteration in the market.

The fhawl manufactory which we noticed in a former report being at prefent a branch of much importance to the Norwich manufacturers, we should be glad to receive fome further account of it, especially from the intelligent correfpondent who favoured us with the former particulars, to whom the readers of the Monthly Magazine are indebted for a more extenfive and valuable article.

This statement ftrongly fhews the effect of the depreciation of the value of money on the current price of commodities, but it will be feen that all along there has been preferved an analogy between the value of the respective states of the metal. We cannot however but be astonished at the great advance of iron within the last fix years, nearly and in fome cafes more than equal to the advance of a period of 170 years before. The total produce of pig iron in Britain, at the beginning of the last century, has been estimated at 180,oco tons, but at prefent does not exceed 100,000 tons; and reckoning on an average that 33 cwt. of crude iron produces one ton of bars, and that the manufacture of malleable iron amounts to 35,000 tons per annum.
