Death

It is with much regret we learn that the honorable William W. Van Ness for many years a Judge of the Supreme Court of this State [NY], died at Charleston, S.C. on the 28th ult.  An intimacy of many years authorizes us to say that few persons with whom we have ever been acquainted, possessed genius and talents of a higher order than Mr. Van Ness.  His manners were amiable and prepossessing in a high degree, his temper was excellent, his disposition was frank and ingenuous, his eloquence bold and commanding as well as insinuating and persuasive and both at the bar and on the bench, he was distinguished for learning, integrity, impartiality, and independence.  Few men have been more esteemed and admired by their friends than Judge Van Ness and very few were ever more sincerely lamented that he will long be by those to whom he was endeared by the many estimable qualities by which his character was admired.  N.Y.
