Bicknell Coney, esq. a director of the Bank of England, and long an eminent merchant in London. 5. Admiral Sir Richard Hughes, Baronet.

11. Henry Scott, Duke of Buccleugh and Queensberry, and Earl of Doncaster in England, Knight of the Garter, Lord Lieutenant of the counties of Edinburgh and Roxburgh, and Governor of the Royal Bank of Scotland, aged 66. His grace married Elizabeth, only daughter of the late Duke of Montagu, by whom he left two sons and four daughters. He possessed a princely fortune, of which a considerable share was devoted to acts of public and private liberality. He was extremely affable in his manners, easy of access, humane and benevolent. He possessed great political influence.

12. General Sir James Henry Craig, K. B. late Governor-inChief of British North America.

Sir Thomas Co head, formerly M. P. for Bramber, aged 77.

14. Edward Hasted, esq. F R.S. and S. A. aged 80, the historian of the county of Kent, In the

composition of this work he employed 40 years, during which he spared no pains or expense to bring it to maturity; at the same time he acted with zeal and vigour as a magistrate and deputy-lieutenant of the county. Mr. Hasted was the son of Edw. Hasted, of Hawley, in Kent, esq. and barrister at-law, descended from the noble family of Clifford. His mother was of the ancient family of the Dingleys in the Isle of Wight. He was married, and left four sons and two daughters. Having met with adverse fortune in his latter years, he quitted Kent, and for some time lived in obscurity. A few years ago he was presented by the Earl of Radnor to the mastership of Lady Hungerford's hospital at Corsham, Wiltshire, a comfortable asylum, to which he removed, and where he died. Having also obtained a decree in chancery for the recovery of his estates in Kent, of which he had been defrauded, he was restored to a state of independent competency.

15. Theophilus Jones, esq. the historian of Brecknockshire, a gentleman much beloved for his frank, benevolent, and social disposition.

Sir Henry Parker, Bart. of Melford-hall, Suffolk.

Colonel Wm. Cavendish, M. P.

for

for Derby, aged 28. He was the eldest son of Lord George Henry Cavendish, and cousin to the Duke of Devonshire. The cause of his death was an overturn from his curricle in Holker-park, Lancashire, as he was returning from a shooting excursion: he pitched on his head, and never spoke more. He married the eldest daughter of Lord Lismore, by whom he has left three or four children.

16. Mrs. Willes, aged 71, niece to Dr. Wilcocks, Bp. of Rochester. 18. Mrs. Lindsey, aged 72, relict of the late Rev. Theophilus Lindsey; a lady distinguished for strong sense, firmness, and cultivation of mind, and the worthy partner in all fortunes of her excellent husband.

19. At the storming of Ciudad Rodrigo, Major-Gen. M'Kinnon. He was descended from an ancient family in Scotland, and entered at an early age in the Coldstream regiment of guards. He first served under the Duke of York in Holland. At the rebellion in Ireland he was brigade-major to General Sir G. Nugent, and distinguished himself equally by his courage and humanity. He was in the expedition in Egypt; in Germany with Lord Cathcart; and at the taking of Copenhagen. In 1808, he embarked for the Peninsula, and fought with great reputation under Lord Wellington. He was married to the youngest daughter of the late Sir J. Colt, bart.

20. Mrs. Jebb, widow of the late John Jebb, M. D. aged 77. This lady was the daughter of the Rev. Jas. Torkington, and of lady Dorothy Sherard, daughter of the Earl of Harborough. She was married, in 1764, to Dr. Jebb,

then resident in Cambridge, and engaged in various controversies and reforming plans which have rendered his name celebrated. Mrs. Jebb entered with great spirit and intelligence into all her husband's views, and even took up the pen in their support. She was particularly the assailant of Dr. Powell, master of St. John's college, the chief academical adversary of Dr. Jebb; and it was on occasion of a pamphlet against him, under the signature of Priscilla, that Dr. Paley said, "The Lord had sold Sisera into the hands of a woman.” When Dr. Jebb removed to London, and adopted the medical profession, his wife was not in the least behind him in the patriotic zeal by which he was animated. Parliamentary reform, and all those principles of government which characterise the warm friends of liberty, were ever objects the nearest her heart, nor did age and infirmities make any abatement of her political ardour. Yet with this earnestness of disposition she united all the amiable softness of the female character, and was not less estimable for the qualities of the heart than for those of the understanding. Her frame was so slight and feeble, whilst her manner was so animated, that she seemed rather soul than body; and it was a wonder that the frail tenement of clay could so long harbour a mind of such activity.

21. At Bath, in his 80th year, Edward Fisher, esq. late of Henbury, Gloucestershire, whose time, and a considerable part of his fortune, from an early period, were spent in acts of benevolence.

15. Lord Henry Lennox, third son of the Duke of Richmond, in his 15th year.

Sir William Maxwell, bart. of Monreith, Scotland.

19. The Hon. Mary Talbot, mother of the Earl of Shrewsbury, and daughter of Sir George Mostyn, Flintshire.

23. Frederick Cavendish, esq. son of Lord Charles Cavendish, and brother of the late eminent philosopher, Henry Cavendish, about the age of 80. He had long resided at Market-street, Bedfordshire, where he made himself remarkable by various eccentricities, but also displayed much benevolence and goodness of heart. He had received in his youth a serious injury in the head from a fall into an area out of an upper window, which rendered him unfit for public life, and was doubtless the cause of some of his peculiarities. He lived a bachelor; and on his death his landed property came to the Duke of Devonshire, and his personal estate to his maternal cousins, the Earls of Ashburnham and Bridgewater, and the Hon. F. Egerton.

The

The Hon. Lady Stanhope, eldest sister of the late Lord Delaval. She was twice married, first to Sir William Stanhope, brother to the celebrated Earl of Chesterfield; and secondly, to C. Morrice, esq. noted for his lyrical compositions. She died at the House of Sir J. Astley, bart. in Norfolk, whom she made her heir.

At Stoke, near Plymouth, Sir Charles Cotton, commander of the Channel fleet. He was of the family of Cotton of Cambridgeshire; and entering into the navy, was made post-captain in 1779. He commanded the Majestic under Lord Howe on the 1st of June 1794; and the Mars in the following year during the masterly retreat of Admiral Cornwallis before the whole French fleet. He obtained a flag in 1797, and served in the Channel fleet under Lord St. Vincent, gaining the esteem of that great commander by his conduct. In 1807, he commanded the expedition sent to Portugal, when he greatly contributed to animate the Portuguese to the defence of their country. Sir Charles long opposed the disgraceful convention of Cintra, and pointed out means by which the enemy's threat of pillaging Lisbon might be rendered abortive. He was advanced to the rank of admiral in 1808, and after commanding in chief in the Mediterranean, returned to take the command of the Channel fleet. He bore the character of an excellent naval officer, and a worthy man, zealously attached to his king and country.

28. John Till Allingham, esq. author of various approved dramatic compositions.

9 In his 80th year, the Rev. Andrew Burnaby, D.D. Archdeacon of Leicester, and during 43 years Vicar of Greenwich. He was the author of a considerable number of publications, of which, his "Travels in North America," and "Journal of a Tour to Corsica," were the fruit of travels in the early part of life; the rest were chiefly theological, consisting of sermons, general and occasional, charges, &c. Dr. Burnaby was regarded as an able and elegant writer, and a strenuous defender of the established church. He possessed great urbanity of manners, and was highly esteemed for his public and private virtues.

10. P. J. de Loutherbourg, esq. an eminent painter, especially in

the

the walk of landscape, and one of the oldest members of the Royal Academy.

12. Miss Lowth, only surviving daughter of the late Bishop Lowth. 13. The Earl of Uxbridge, Lord Lieutenant of the counties of Anglesey and Stafford, &c. &c. aged 68. He left a numerous family, and is succeeded by his eldest son Henry William Lord Paget.

15. The Hon. Lieut.-Gen. Vere Poulett, of Addington House, Bucks.

18. John Horne Tooke, esq. aged 76, a distinguished character both in the political and the literary world. Mr. Horne, as he was first named, was the son of a poulterer in Westminster, and was brought up for the clerical profession. He received his school education both at Eton and Westminster, and about his 18th year was entered of St. John's college, Cambridge. He took orders, and obtained the chapelry of New Brentford, the only preferment he ever possessed. The clerical character, indeed, was that in which he had no ambition to excel; and after a tour to the continent, he plunged into the politics of the day, and closely connected himself with Mr. Wilkes, whom he assisted in fighting his battles with ministerial power. It was not long, however, before a rupture took place between them, in which Mr. Horne, at least, did not lose ground in the estimation of the public. When that extraordinary political phenomenon, Junius, made his appearance, among many other objects of his virulent attacks, Mr. Horne came in for a share; but the spirited manner in which he repelled and returned the hostility left that formidable masked chani

pion little cause of triumph. True to his political principles, when the contest broke out with our (then) fellow-subjects of America, he became a warm advocate for their cause; and after the battle of Lexington, having publicly denominated the bloodshed of the day, a

"base murder by the King's troops," he was prosecuted by the attorney-general, and was sentenced to imprisonment in the King's-bench.

He had now resigned his clerical function, and attempted to prepare for the bar, for which he was excellently qualified, but his indelible character, excluded him from the inns of court. His political influence with the popular party was, however, considerable, and he exerted it to render odious that coalition between the members of the North ministry, and the opposition, which eventually proved so prejudicial to the latter. He twice became a candidate for Westminster, Mr. Fox being each time one of his opponents, and he was twice defeated, but not without having taken occasion to read to the House itself a very home lesson on the corruptions openly practised at elections. Mr. Tooke (he had now assumed that name in compliance with the request of Mr. Tooke, of Purley, in Surrey,) was not a man who could view the great event of the French revolu tion without an application of its principles to those parts of our own constitution, which, in the opinion of many wise men and good citizens, stood in need of essential reforms. He became an active member of the leading societies instituted for those purposes; and when government thought
