We regret to announce the death of an old and faithful Colonist, Mr. Benjamin HADLEY, which took place during the past week. Deceased, who was 64 years of age, has passed through a life of trouble and difficulty, which doubtless greatly hastened his end. In former years he took a leading part in public affairs in this Colony, and was always admired for his outspoken, honest and fearless defence of frontier interests. Latterly bodily infirmity [obscured] him to lead a more quiet life. Benjamin HADLEY was known intimately by few persons, but by those his worth was appreciated, and his death will be keenly regretted.
