Death of Duncan A. Campbell Esq. - After a protracted period of bad health, this worthy man died at his country-seat on Monday afternoon. he was for many years engaged largely in business in this town and port, and was distinguished by enterprise, ability, and honour. He retired a few years ago to a fine place at Appin.

Probably not many accustomed to active life, realise when they leave the bustle of the market-place all the pleasure which they had anticipated when oppressed with its cares and anxieties; whether that was his case or not, Mr Campbell's love of public usefulness and his ever active desire to do good, made his residence at Appin a blessing every way to the population and district, and his friendliness of disposition made an occasional visit to his old friends at Greenock a very pleasant occupation. He was a universal favourite, especially loved and respected by those most nearly allied with him, and who had the best opportunities of knowing his sterling character.

He was for many years a member of the Town Council, and was chosen by his colleagues to fill the office of Treasurer. He was also a useful director of most of our benevolent institutions; and to him as much as to any man is due the honour of having lent effective aid to the establishment of the Greenock Academy, whose funds he carefully and laboriously managed for many years. His enterprise was exhibited by his ready assistance to promote several of the largest establishments in Greenock; and his sociality was shown in his effective aid in establishing the Ardgowan Club, whose bowling-green was the earliest in the town.

Although more seldom met with of late years than before, his many friends deeply regret the departure of one so good-hearted, so true, and just.
