[abbreviated] At 3 Clifton Place, Glasgow, on the 23d instant, Robert Kettle Esq. This well-known, amiable, talented, and useful man (says the Glasgow Herald) was in the 60th year of his age. The disease by which he was removed was an attack of what appeared to be bilious fever. Up to the time of this attack Mr Kettle was in the enjoyment of excellent health, managing his mercantile affairs as usual, and taking part in the various philanthropic objects that so largely accepted his benevolent mind. Mr Kettle came to this city about forty years ago, being a native of Bridge of Earn, in Perthshire. Nearly one-half of this period was spent with the old firm of Messrs Kelly & Co., who were largely engaged in various branches of the cotton trade in this city. The other half was in business on his own account as a cotton-yarn merchant. He gave the influence of his name, means and personal labours, to aid anti-slavery objects – houses of refuse for the destitute and delinquent – bible, tract, and missionary societies, together with other public charities. He was found aiding liberally and with enlightened discretion the various benevolent undertakings which are incessantly presented to the generous friends of religion and humanity in this great city...
