"Dalston, Aug. 12.

"Dear Sir, I beg leave to apologize for not noticing your favour of July 17, informing me of the death of Mrs. Vias. I now take the opportunity of sending 217. being Mrs. Vias's payment, due in April last; and at the same time to inform you that I shall send to you another payment about October next: Mrs. V. or her relations, being entitled to the same. I remain, dear Sir, your obedient servant, J. B." Such truly humane and liberal conduct needs no comment.-May I be permitted still anxiously to point my finger towards the faithful surviving servant and god-daughter, F. D.? towards HER, who has waited on her aged friends in a menial capacity, without wages, and whose inheritance by legacy is little more than worm-eaten lumber? Yes! Mr. Urban, God and God's family will approve the act. W. B. Chelsea, Sept. 4, 1816.

Though the salary of Mr. Christall was very small, yet he contrived by strict economy not only to support his family, chiefly from that source, but to save a competency for his old age, and to leave a considerable sum behind him.-Of this he has bequeathed 10%. to the Infirmary, 10. to the Kirk Session, 107. to the Lunatic Asylum, 51. to the Destitute Sick, and 5. to the Female Society.

Simpson, esq. of Collyhill, Scotland; the last surviving child of the late A. Simpson, esq. to whose ample fortune he succeeded about three years ago. His literary acquirements were considerable; and he had travelled on the Continent with the view of informing himself concerning the manners and interual policy of foreign nations. He was

a warm friend, and a most dutiful and affectionate son to a mother who, after having lost all the other branches of a numerous family, had her affections and hopes entirely centered in him.' Young as he was, and apparently to see many days, he had arranged his affairs, and in his arrangement, it is said, was not unmindful of the necessities of the indigent: so that the poor, and the publick in general, will have reason to respect his memory.

Aug. 15. At Windsor, in his 48th year, Capt. John Kirkpatrick, of the East India Company's ship the Henry Addington. Endeared as he was to a numerous class of respectable friends by his liberal and ge nerous sentiments, it will be soothing and gratifying to their feelings that his memory should be recorded with the notice it merits. He was descended from a collateral branch of the Kirkpatricks of Clossburn, Dumfriesshire. Left early in life an orphan, he received, from a noble-minded friend of his deceased father, the tender

ness'

ness of a parent, united with the services of the warmest patronage. From his nautical skill in the line he was engaged in, his iutellectual endowments, and his spirited conduct under emergencies, there is little doubt that, if he had pursued his fortune in the British Navy, he might have arisen to the first honours of the profession; but his fate ordained him to acquire independence in another way, and he used the advantages of it, on occasions where his friendship or his charity was called upon, with unbounded liberality. He bore a long and severe illness with patience and fortitude, and supported himself under the most acute suffering with a resignation and submission to the Divine dispensations that were truly exemplary. He was constantly attended with affectionate solicitude by one or other of his friends; and although he had not one near family connection, he was never left a day without some valuable character about him among those who regarded him. On his side, no sickness or suffering made him ever lose sight of that accommodation he felt due to those who attended him, and which had marked his character through life. He constantly preserved through his illness the sentiments of liberality, feeling, generosity, and gratitude, which had particnlarly distinguished his dawn of life, and seemed to beam forth with increased fervour to the very close of his existence.

Aug. 20. At her cottage at Callaugton, near Much Wenlock, Shropshire, aged 71, Mrs. Eleanor Harding. She was the last of the antient family of the Haynes's of that place, who had lived there for several centuries. She was a person of most engaging manners and sweetness of disposition, qualities which had long rendered her highly esteemed through a large circle of friends and acquaintance. The poor in that vicinity she had ever in remembrance, who from her door were never sent empty away: her loss is therefore deeply lamented by her neighbours, and by her friends most sincerely mourned.

At Castleton-lodge, Mountrath, Queen's County, Ireland, deeply and sincerely lamented by all her friends and relatives, especially by the poor, to whom she was a liberal benefactor, Mary, wife of James Price, esq. daughter of Matthew, and sister of Stephen Cassan, esquires, deceased, of Sheffield hall, near Maryboro' in the same county. When the virtuous pass to the silent mansions of mortality, it is incumbent on the biographer to rescue their bright example from oblivion. Some tribute of respect-some slight memorial beyond the mere mention that they lived and died,' is due, not only to the deceased, but to the world at large, that others may be prompted to go and do likewise.'

The proudest descent-the blood of the noblest families, derived from the race of Plantagenet, flowing in her veins, were unnecessary to give dignity to this amiable woman's character, standing as it does on the firm basis of personal worth.. The advantage of high birth, though prized by the generality of the world, and contemned by none but those who do not, consequently can not ever, possess it, far from inflating her with arrogauce, served but as an incentive to virtuous action. Not satisfied with merely deriving honour from her progenitors, she sought to reflect it. A true scion of the antient and respectable family of Cassan, her intentions were pure; her heart unsuspecting, because guileless; her manners gentle and unaffected; her disposition placable and forgiving. Did distress pour its plaintive note? her purse was ever ready to afford relief. Did sickness groan on the couch. of woe? .her gentle hand would raise the drooping head. Did the family afflictions

of her neighbours want the balm of consolation for the loss of some beloved relative? her syren voice would whisper resignation-her persuasive accents, while she told of sun-bright days beyond the storm-of worlds beyond the skies-would prove the certain lenitives of unutterable anguish, and cheer the dejected heart in nature's saddest hour. Hers were the, 'social smile and sympathetic tearhers all the qualities that dignify and adorn humanity. Mercy with celestial voice spoke in all she uttered; Charity poured forth her stores in all she did. Justly entitled would she have been to have said, on her death-bed,

Non omnis moriar; multaque pars mei Vitabit Libitinam. Usque ego posterâ Crescam laude recens.

The subject of this article has left a numerous issue by Mr. Price, who was nephew to the first Marquis of Hertford. Her only surviving brother is the Rev. Joseph Cassan, M. A. rector of Stradbally, and chaplain to the earl of Roden. She was aunt to Major Cassan of Sheffield hall, and of the late Stephen, barristerat-law, who died 1794, leaving issue by his wife, the present Rev. Stephen Hyde Cassan, B. A. of Magdalen Hall, Oxford, chaplain to the earl of Caledon, and curate of Streatley, near Reading. The death of her brother, Richard Cassan, M. P. who married Miss Belle Hamilton, eldest sister of the late Right Hon. Baron Hamilton, is recorded in our Vol. LXXX. Part II. p. 668-that of her nephew Alexander, M. P. for Belfast, and once high sheriff for Dublin, Vol. LXXIX. Part I. p. 285 -that of her sisters, Mrs. Seymour and Cooke, Vol. LXXXII. Part I. p. 486. and Vol. LXXXIV. Part II. p. 301-that

of

of her nephew, Thomas Cassan, Capt. of 320, killed at Waterloo, Vol. LXXXV.

Part II. p. 468. August 24. Whitmore, esq. of Dudmaston-hall, Shropshire, far advanced in age, but on the very eve of entering the nuptial state a third time. He was the second son of Charles Whitmore, esq. of Southampton, and of the very respectable and wealthy family of the Whitmores of Apley, co. Salop. He is succeeded in the Dudmaston and Wolstaston possessions by his eldest son of the first marriage, Col. William Wolrich Whitmore, esq. who some time ago married the only daughter of the present Earl of Bradford.

At Portsmouth, William

Aug. 26. At Rindleford, in the parish of Worfield, co. Salop, of a dysentery, Mr. Samuel Ridley, sen.

Aug. 26. Suddenly, at the advanced age of 84, Dr. John Squire, of Ely-place, Holborn, member of the Royal College of Physicians, and for many years, until increasing infirmities obliged him to relinquish practice, one of the Physicians of the Lying-in Charity for delivering Women at their own Residences. The whole life of this truly venerable Gentleman has been one continued series of charity and benevolence; and the loss of none of those great and good Characters in the Medical World, of whom society has been deprived within these few years past, will be more seriously felt, or more universally lamented, than that of the good Dr. Squire. At the very instant of his death he was engaged in an act of benevolence : for, while assisting at the delivery of a patient, whose labour was attended with circumstances of much difficulty and danger, he expired in an instant, without a sigh or a struggle. The Medical Gentlemen who were in attendance on the patient previous to the arrival of Dr. Squire, immediately sent for his friend Mr. Chamberlaine, of Aylesbury-street; but, had he been on the spot at the instant, he could not have rendered him any assistIt only remained, therefore, for him, on his arrival, to be the bearer of the unhappy tidings to his afflicted family.Twenty-eight years ago, in conjunction with his friend Mr. Chamberlaine, in whom he found a most ready and indefatigable coadjutor, the three branches of the Medical Profession were indebted to this worthy and excellent Veteran, for setting on foot an Institution, not before attempted in this Metropolis, for the benefit of the Relatives of Members of the Medical Profession left in distressed circumstances, under the title of "The Society for Relief of Widows and Orphans of Medical Men in London and its Vicinity." By the unwearied exertions of these two individuals, this Institution, from a small beginning,

ance.

has arisen to a state of prosperity that its most sanguine supporters could not have expected in so short a period; and has afforded relief to many families, who, but. for its assistance, must in many instances have endured the most humiliating succours of a parish workhouse! - His remains were attended to the place of interment, in a vault under St. Andrew's Church, Holborn, on Sunday, the 1st Sept. by the individuals of his family, accompanied by Mr. Chamberlaine, Mr. Taunton, Dr. Davis, Mr. Barnet, Mr. Fortescue, and several other respectable Gentlemen of the Medical Profession.

Aug. 27. Amongst the heroes who fell in the late victory before Algiers, aged 21, Richard, second son of Mrs. Caithrop, of West Ashby in Lincolnshire, and formerly of Shotesham in Norfolk. After eight years spent in the most active service, he went out upon promotion in the late Expedition, as an Admiralty Midshipman on board the Leander, where he displayed the utmost bravery. He was gifted with excellent abilities, a generous feeling heart, and possessed an uncommon degree of manly courage.

Joseph Eyre, nearly 20 years rector of St. Giles's Parish in that town; a prebendary of St. Paul's; and vicar of Ambrosden, Oxfordshire, where he spent the early part of his professional life, greatly and justly respected and beloved by all who knew him. He was a faithful, conscientious, and able Minister of the Word of God. The duties of his profession were his delight and constant occupation, till the severity of a painful disorder required occasional residence in London for medical advice. His affections were firmly fixed upon doing the work of his Master, visiting the sick, comforting the afflicted, and rightly dividing the Word of Truth. His death will be deeply and lastingly lamented by his numerous family, and by the poor, who have lost a real friend.

Oxford, and Mary his wife, daughter of Mr. Alderman Twiss of Shrewsbury. She was the last of the Bradburne family, which had taken up their residence at Chesterton in the reign of Henry VIII. where the heads of the family have resided in succession ever since upon their estate, having enjoyed other valuable possessions in the same parish for a considerable length of time.

On Usher's-quay, Thos. Smith, esq. of Rowlestown, co. Dublin.

Sept. 12. At Brighton, after a long illness, the wife of the Rev. J. Styles, D. D. Her funeral sermon was preached at Dr. Styles's Chapel on the 20th.

Sept. 14. At Hooton Pagnell, near Doncaster, the Rev. William Bawdwen, B. A. vicar of Hooton Pagnell, and curate of Frickley-cum-Clayton, co. York. To this gentleman the publick are indebted for a translation of that invaluable National Record, Domesday Book. He proposed to print the whole in ten volumes, 4to; but only two have as yet been published: Vol. I. containing "the County of York; including Amounderness, Lonsdale, and Furness, in Lancashire, and such Parts of Westmorland and Cumberland as are contained in that Survey. Also the Counties of Derby, Nottingham, Rutland, and Lincolo. With an Introduction, Glossary,

and Indexes," 1809; and Vol. II. containing the Counties of Hertford and Middlesex, Buckingham, Oxford, and Gloucester. Mr. Bawdwen also contributed a Translation of Domesday-book, so far as relates to Dorsetshire, to the Fourth Volume of the new Edition of Hutchins's History of that County, recently published. This able and industrious Divine, in the Preface to his first Volume, thus speaks of the Parliamentary Publication: "Under the liberal auspices of his present Majesty, and by the munificence of Parliament, a most splendid Edition of this Record, worthy of the Monarch, and worthy of this great Nation, has been published, for the use of both Houses of Parliament, and of the Public Libraries of the Kingdom, from the original Manuscript in the Exchequer. I had also flattered myself that what I have now undertaken might, in some degree, second the enlightened views of the Legislature on this subject, and respectively place the purchase of it within the reach of more numerous classes of his Majesty's subjects." We earnestly hope this expectation will even yet be realized; and that the publication of the remaining volumes of the Work (which are completely ready for the press) may be made conducive to the interests of the afflicted widow and twelve children of Mr. Bawdwen, by whom his loss will be most severely felt. His memory will be long cherished by his numerous friends and acquaintance.
