court he resided only a few months, and returned to England the follow. ing year. In 1741 he married Constantia, daughter of John KerleEmly, esq. of Whetham, co. Wilts, who died in 1753, without any surviving issue. He was the eldest son of George, seventh earl of Kinnoull, created by queen Anne, 1712, a baron of Great Britain, by the title of lord Hay, baron Hay of Pedwardin, co. Hereford, who, by Abigail, daughter of Robert carl of Oxford, lord treasurer, had three other sons: Robert, archbishop of York, died 1776; John, rector of Epworth, co. Lincoln, deceased; and Edward, consul at Cadiz and Portugal, and embassador plenipotentiary.

At Malta, after a long and tedi. ous illness, lady Georgiana Stewart, daughter of the earl of Galloway.

At the vicarage, aged 45, the rev. Joseph Dacre Carlyle, B. D. vicar of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, chancellor of Carlisle, professor of Arabic in the university of Cambridge, chaplain to the bishop of Durham, and F. R. S. E.; a gentleman of eminent abilities, distinguished learning, taste, and genuine goodness of heart. He was educated at Queen's college, Cambridge; B. A. 1779, M. A. 1783, B. D. 1793; some time fellow of that society, and chosen Arabic professor on the resignation of Dr. Craven, 1795; in which year he also succeeded Dr. Paley as chancellor of the diocese of Carlisle.

His publications are,

"Mauret Allatafet Jemaleddini filii Togri Bardii seu rerum Egyptiacarum Annales ab A. C. 971, usque ad A. 1453. E. codice MS Bibliothecæ Academic Cantabrigiæ textum Arabicum primus edidit Latine

vertit notisque illustravit," 1792.” 4to.

"Specimens of Arabic Poetry, from the earliest Time to the Extinction of the Khalifs; with some Account of the Authors, 1796," 4to.

"History of Egypt, from an inedited Arabic MS. and accompanied by a critical and elegant Commentary, pronounced a Treasure of appropriate Worth."

He published a Proposal for printing the Bible in Arabic, in one quarto or two octavo volumes, price about 12s. for the benefit of the Negroes, which work he offered to undertake.

"But though the production of the work of Jemaleddin, in the present neglected state of Arabic literature, was highly meritorious, it is far from being fraught with the most useful matter. Grateful too as the lover of that literature must be for what Mr. C. has actually done, he will probably be inclined to lament the entire omission of that part of the work which relates to the Khalifs of Bagdad. To the Specimens of Arabic Poetry the originals are prefixed, in a beautiful Arabic character; but we are of opinion that Mr. C.'s success in transfusing the spirit of these originals has been such as to increase the reputation of his taste and ingenuity." New Catalogue of living Authors, I. 419.-He accompanied lord Elgin to Constantinople, as chaplain to the embassy, and for the purpose of obtaining access to the library of the seraglio. Religion, as well as lite-rature, has sustained a severe loss in his death; since it will at least suspend the correct edition of the Arabic Bible, which he had undertaken at the request of a most respectable society, composed of many eminent persons (among whom the bishop of

Durham

Durham is one of the most active), and for which every preparation had been made at Newcastle; and must put an entire stop to his great and favourite project of giving a complete edition of the New Testament in Greek, which was to contain the various readings collected by Mill, Bengelius, Wetstein, Griesbach, and Matthac, but also those of more than thirty Greek manuscripts, which he had collected during his residence and travels in the Turkish empire, together with a new and accurate collation of the Syriac and other ancient versions. With his dissertation on Irood, and observations made during his tour through Lesser Asia, Syria, and Egypt, the public may hope to be gratified. During the short period of his residence at Newcastle his extreme sufferings, from a painful and distressing malady, have prevented his engaging in general intercourse; but a few friends who had the happiness occasionally to visit him, have seen enough of the extent of his acquirements, the vivacity of his conversation, and the ardour of his literary pursuits, to render the unlooked for event of his death a subject of the most sincere regret.

13th. Found burnt to death, at four o'clock in the morning, lady Glanville, of Manchester-street, widow of sir John G. The chair on which she had been sitting was partly consumed; but the fire had not communicated to any other part of the room. It is supposed she sat down in the chair for the purpose of reading, and sleep overpowering her, that the candle had set fire to her cloaths, and produced the fatal effects.

14th. In Portugal-street, Grosvenor-square, the wife of majorgeneral Brownrigg.

In her 21st year, after a very long illness, which afforded no hope of recovery, lady Harriet Fitzroy, seventh daughter of the duke and duchess of Grafton.

17th. At his sister's at Storntoncastle, aged 56, beloved and respected by all ranks of people who knew him, Edward Carver, esq. lieutenant-colonel in the Warwickshire militia. It is but a just tribute to his memory to observe, that the annals of private life have seldom recorded the character of a man more endeared to society by affability of deportment, gentlemanly manners, and universal benevolence. The whole of the military in the neighbourhood, regulars, yeomanry, and volunteers, anxious to testify their respect for his memory, requested to attend his funeral; the offer, however, was handsomely declined by his relatives.

19th. In Hinde-street, Manchester-square, Eleanor viscountess Wenman, relict of the late Philip, seventh viscount Wenman, who died at Bath in 1800, to whom she was married July 7, 1766, fifth daughter of Willoughby earl of Abingdon, and aunt to the present earl. On the 26th, her remains were removed from her house in Hindestreet, for interment, to Thanepark, Oxfordshire, in an elegant coffin covered with velvet, gilt furniture and coronet, with a crucifix. They proceeded along Oxford-street in the following order:

Six horsemen, two and two.
Plume.

Hearse and six.
Two mourning coaches and six.
Three gentlemen's carriages.

Two gentlemen's chariots. 20th. At the Hot-wells, Bristol, the hon. Mrs. Hobart.

His serene highness the reigning I i2 duke

duke of Saxe-Gotha; born Jan. 30, 1745. He forbade, in his will, all ceremony at his burial, except such as is usual for his lowest subjects. He desired to be buried in his English garden, at the feet of the coffins containing the bodies of two of his already deceased children. No speech or sermon to be pronounced, and no monument to be erected over him; but he desires his second son, prince Frederick, to place a tree upon his grave. To this prince he bequeaths his English garden, which is to be open, as formerly, to all visitors. The simple burial ceremony of this sovereign took place on the night of the 25th, according to the wish he expressed in his will. The grave was dug on the island, in the English garden, at the foot of those of his two deceased children. The reigning duchess, with her child on her arm, had, the evening before, strewed flowers round the grave. The midnight-hour struck, when the body entered the garden, carried by the servants of the late duke. The walk to the island was laid with black cloth, with the boat that carried it over. A dark but quiet night favoured this melancholy performance. The ceremony was only interrupted by the sighs and tears of all present, which ran in abundance on the coffin. The grave had been dug by the late duke's courtiers, and was filled by the hands of the members of his highness's family. Prince Frederick planted a tree on the grave. No drums were beat, no sermon was pronounced, no cannons were fired, no bells were tolled.

24th. At his house in Gosport, Thomas Larcom, esq. a captain in the royal navy. The corpse of this

truly valuable officer was followed to the grave by many distinguished naval characters. During 40 years service, the time captain L. has spent on shore was little more than two years.

29th. At his mother's house in Somerset-street, Portman-square, lieutenant-colonel Hunter, of the 3d regiment of foot-guards.

May 1st. At his house in Princesstreet, Edinburgh, the lady of the honourable Henry Erskine.

At Dorchester, of a broken heart, sincerely regretted by all who knew her, Mrs. Gordon, wife of the reverend Lockhart G. Omthe 9th, her remains were interred (at the expence of a few charitably disposed people) in Holy Trinity churchyard, Dorchester. The history of this unfortunate lady affords sufficient matter to rouse, in the sympathetic mind, a spirit of indignation against the cruel authors of her sufferings. Suffice it only to say, that she was a branch of a very respectable and opulent family in Shropshire, and that, by her union (which took place about two years ago, at St. Mary-la-Bonne church, as appears from a copy of a register found in her possession) she incurred the displeasure of all her friends, and was renounced by them for ever; and, notwithstanding her personal attractions, sensibility, and engaging manners, she shortly after arrived at Dorchester, unprotected; where she took an obscure lodging, living in a pitiable state, but supporting the character of a true Christian, till the idea of being thus abandoned, and the shock she re ceived by the sad recent transaction in Oxfordshire,* preyed so forcibly on her delicate feelings, that she fell a victim

21st year. 2nd.

in

At Pembroke-house, Privy gardens, Whitehall, aged 51, Henry Cecil, marquis of Exeter, tenth earl of Exeter, baron Bur-leigh, joint hereditary grand almoner to the king in fee, LL. D. F.R.S. vice president of the society of Antiquaries, and recorder of Stamford, co. Lincoln, which, by his death, loses a most liberal patron. He was son of the hon. Thomas Chambers Cecil (son of Brownlow eighth earl of Exeter) by Charlotte Gonner, who died Jan. 3, 1803, and was born at Brussels in 1754, married 1776, Emma, heiress of Thomas Vernon, esq. of Hanbury, co. Worcester, by whom he had two sons, who died infants, and a daughter, born 1779, married 1797, to John Chaplyn, esq. of Blakney, co. Lincoln. From this lady he was divorced; and married, secondly, 1791, Miss Higgins, who died at Burleigh, Jan. 18, 1797, and, thirdly, Aug. 19, 1800, Elizabeth, duchess-dowager of Hamilton, daughter of sir Peter Burrell, bart. He succeeded his uncle 1793, and is himself succeeded by his eldest son by his second marriage, Brownlow, born July 2, 1795. His lordship was making great improvements at Burleigh, in the splendid collection of pictures which are attached to the house by the will of his lordship's predecessor, which, by its rigid li mitations, rendered them unalienable. He was a nobleman whose memory will fade only when the objects of his extensive and active charity cease to exist. His remains were removed from Pembroke house, Privy-gardens, on the 9th of May, in order to their being deposited in the family vault of his lord

Burleigh, in St. Martin's church at Stamford. After the hearse and six horses followed three mourningcoaches and his lordship's carriage, each drawn by six horses. Upwards of 30 noblemen and gentlemen's carriages joined the procession, which reached Burleigh-house about 9 in the morning of the 12th, where the Stamford Volunteer Infantry joined at 11, the six senior officers of the corps acting as pall-bearers. After the funeral service three volleys were fired by the corps, the last tribute of respect to their deceased noble commandant; and the whole ceremony was awfully grand and impressive. Atleast 3000 spectators, it is supposed, were in the park.

5th. In Great Pulteney-street, Mrs. Bathurst, relict of Poole Ba thurst, esq, of Lidney-park, co. of Gloucester. By her death, Charles Bragge, esq. member of parliament for Bristol, succeeds to very valn able estates, for which he changes his name to Bathurst.

In Great Cumberland-street, the infant son of lord Rous.

8th. In Dover-street, Piccadilly, the hon. Mrs. Priscilla Marsham, of Bloxley-hall, near Maidstone, eldest daughter of the late Robert lord Romney.

At Verdun, in France, the marchioness of Tweedale.

9th. At Hammersmith, Catherine, fourth daughter of the late sir John Hales, bart, of Mundell, co. Lincoln.

12th. At Stilton, co. Huntingdon, aged 78, the rev. William Whitworth, M. A. archdeacon of Sarum, and rector of Stilton.

17th. At Paddington, in childbed, viscountess Folkeston, only child I i3

of

of the late earl of Lincoln; married, Oct. 2, 1800, to lord viscount Folkstone, with a fortune of 60,0001.

At his lordship's house in Bath, the right hon. Eyre Massey, lord Clarina, general in his majesty's service, marshal of the army in Ireland, colonel of the 27th or Enniskillen regiment, governor of Limerick, and of the royal hospital of Kilmainham. His lordship was younger brother of Hugh lord Massey, of Ireland; was born in 1717; and married, in 1767, Catherine Clements, sister of the earl of Leitrim, by whom he has left issue, 1. William-Nathaniel, a lieutenant-colonel in the army, now lord Clarina; 2. Emily; 3. Catherine. This noble veteran had served his king and country for 70 years, great part of which he was actively employed; and, in consideration of his long and faithful services, his majesty was graciously pleased to confer on him the dignity of a peer. Having been constantly employed in his military profession, he had seen great and arduous service. In 1745 he was wounded at the battle of Culloden; was at the head of the grenadiers who stormed and took the Havannah, where he was again wounded; also, at the taking of Martinico. He was one of the last of Gen. Wolfe's companions. His lordship died, as he lived, beloved, honoured, and respected; and is succeeded in his title and estate by his only son, the hon. col. Massey.

At Dnauschingen, aged 33, of apoplexy, Charles Joachim, the reigning prince of Furstenberg. He is succeeded by prince Charles Egon.

At Plymouth, aged 26, capt. Coryndon Boger, of the royal navy,

and commander of the Fowey Sea Fencibles. His death was occasioned by a consumption, the effect of wounds received four years since in the late war.. When in the Gypsey schooner, of ten 4-pounders and 36 men, which he commanded in the West Indies, he gallantly brought to action, and after a severe conflict, obliged to strike, a French corvette, of ten 9 and 12-pounders, and 130 men, including troops from Guadalope, which she carried into Antigua. In this unequal contest he received a dreadful wound in the side, which for some time baffled the skill of the surgeons; though naturally of a delicate constitution, he at length recovered, and returned to his native town, to the house of his father, rear-admiral B. At the breaking out of the present war he was appointed one of the captains of the Sea Fencibles at Fowey; and it is supposed, from his active exertions on that service, his health became again impaired, as he was obliged, for medical advice, to return to Plymouth on leave, but had not been at home many days before death snatched him from those who best knew his worth.

26th. At the house of John Ellis, esq. at Huslingham, near Fulham, after a long and painful illness, which he bore with the utmost fortitude and resignation, in the 43d year of his age, Christopher Parker, esq. vice-admiral of the red, and only son of admiral sir Peter Parker, bart, admiral of the fleet. By his death the public service has lost a most active and valuable officer. In the early part of his life, during the war with America and France, he distinguished himself on several occasions in the West Indies, but particularly at the siege of Omoa,
