DEATH OF MR. HORAK
Died in Cape Town on the 28th instant at the advanced age of 80 years, Jan Andries HORAK Esq, native of this Colony. His strict integrity, obliging disposition and affable manners had endeared him to a numerous circle of relatives and friends, by whom he is universally regretted. His remains were interred in the family vault in the Dutch Reformed Church on Thursday last, the 30th ult, and notwithstanding the very boisterous and rainy state of the weather, the funeral was numerously attended. In consequence of his near relationship to the late Mr. Marthinus MELCK, the first and greatest benefactor of the Lutheran Community in this Colony, the bearers of the deceased were composed of the Deacons of the Church, four Elders being the Pall Bearers. The Rev Mr. Van Staveren delivered an appropriate discourse on the occasion.

ACCIDENT AT SIMON’S BAY
A fatal accident occurred at Simon’s Bay on Wednesday last. It appears from a letters received in town that a young man named JOHNSON, in the employ of Mr. Richard STONE, the stable keeper, went off in a small boat manned by two persons to board a vessel just then arrived in the bay, and when on his return the boat is supposed to have been swamped, and the three unfortunate persons were drowned.

ACCIDENT
Before the schooner Conch got under weigh on the 20th ult in Algoa Bay, a brass gun was fired for the purpose of warning the Passengers to embark, when unfortunately the gun burst, and severely wounded the seaman who fired the gun. He was immediately taken on shore, and it was found necessary to amputate one of his legs, but he expired on the following day.

Saturday 16 July 1831

The body of Mr. Thomas L. JOHNSON, one of the two unfortunate persons drowned by the accidental overturning of a boat in Simon’s Bay on the 20th ult, was found, and buried on Thursday last. It will afford some consolation to the friends of that ill-fated young man to learn that more than 50 persons attended the funeral, an unusually large number at Simon’s Town, desirous of evincing the esteem and respect they entertained for the deceased, who, at the early age of 25 years, was prematurely summoned to the Throne of his Maker.
In the account of the accident which appeared in the Advertiser of the 2nd inst it was stated that the three persons in the boat had perished. This is not correct. One of them, a youth, it afterwards appeared, was saved by a boat from the Vibilia. JOHNSON and a man of colour clung to the boat until cold and exhaustion compelled them to relinquish their hold, and the waves closed over them.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT
Paarl July 18: Since Saturday last we have had nothing but heavy and continued rains. About two o’clock this afternoon the gable of the house of Mr. ZINN, in Berg-street, fell and totally crushed a neighbouring building, inhabited by a number of free persons of colour, most of whom escaped. Unfortunately, however, a child of four years old was buried under the ruins, and its father so severely wounded that there is no hope of his recovery. Should these rains continue we fear that similar accidents will occur, as many houses are still wet from the previous heavy rains.

J.B. HOFFMAN.

THE LATE REV MR. FALLOWS
Cape Town, August 1st 1831
If almost universal regret can in any case afford comfort to survivors, the immediate friends of our late Astronomer may lay full claim to this source of consolation. His Funeral was at once an affecting and an imposing scene: men of every rank, of every persuasion, almost of every shade of character, here met to deplore the death of one whose place will not easily be filled, and they united not only in the service of the lip but in the deep and unseen feeling of the heart; and many of them, in all the bitterness of undissembled sorrow.
The remains of Mr. FALLOWS were deposited in a grave, sunk at his own request at a depth of 12 feet, in an elevated spot of ground which he had destined for his sun dial. The impressive Service of the Church of England was read by the Colonial Chaplain; and at intervals two of his favorite Psalms (the 90th and 67th) were sung by a choir which he had himself formed. This also was in compliance with his special request.
These points, however, were but trifling proofs of his religious principles; for I cannot, with some others, consent to call them the weakness of scruple, and unworthy as such of a mind like his. His chapel, fitted up at his own expense, and at a personal sacrifice, of which it was often his honest pride to speak, will, I had almost said, be a living monument of his zeal in the Christian cause, and of the importance which, notwithstanding the continual and unceasing claims of his other duties, he attached to that solemn vow and engagement which, at his ordination, he had made before the Altar of God. At present we can only express an earnest hope that, in the event of a Christian Minister succeeding to his functions at the Observatory, it may ever remain as the memorial to his faith and fear. In this temple not only his own household but his neighbours, both Dutch and English, worshipped their God in common, and heard the words of eternal life. Yes! though we might almost literally declare that he knew the number of the stars, and could call them by their names, yet he forgot not God who created both him and them.
With the wisdom of true philosophy he united the simplicity and playfulness of a child. In him not only has Science (in whose cause he fell a martyr) lost a distinguished ornament, and England a faithful and unwearied servant, but society has to mourn the departure of an honest, upright and single minded man; and it is only a matter of sincere regret to the writer of this letter that he cannot add that he has personally lost a friend. For he may surely may be allowed to regret not having been the friend of one with whom he never conversed without being improved, and from whom he never parted but with the painful conviction that his own occupations would effectually prevent his cultivating as intimate an acquaintance with him as he could wish: and of whom, as far as his limited experience warrants the assertion, it might be said, and it is no little praise, that he had no enemy in the world. More indeed may be said of him: he was a peace maker; and may the blessing of the Peace-maker rest upon him!
The Poet’s praise in its best and kindest spirit is all his own. He shone, but it was with a still and tranquil light which Envy trembled to invade. He perishes – and is missed and loved indeed.
Urit enim fulgare suo qui praegravat artes
Infra se positus – extinctus amabitur idem.

DIED at Uitenhage on the evening of the 27th July, after a severe attack of scarlet fever, Frances Lakeland FLEMING, the eldest daughter of William and Frances FLEMING, aged 2 years and 7 months. No words can convey an adequate idea of the deep affliction felt by her parents. Those alone who have experienced a similar calamity can appreciate their feelings.
“Yes thou art gone! The God that gave hath taken:
Ne’er round thy mother’s neck those arms shall play:
Nor those bright eyes to life and joy awaken,
To glad they father with their star-like ray!
Yes thou art gone! In vain thy friends are weeping,
Naught can recall the immutable decree:
And though I grieve to think that thou art sleeping,
That MUST be right which God hath doomed to be.”
