dered such as entitled him to a better ship. Before he returned, therefore, from his subsequent voyage to Cadiz, he received from the Admiralty an appointment to the Trinculo, at that time just launched, and one of the finest sloops in the service. There was now an opportunity opened to him of distinguishing himself, which was as suddenly closed by one of those unforeseen events which baffle all human calculation, and all his hopes of fame and honour were closed for ever: he had contracted a violent cold, on his return from Cadiz, in consequence of his keeping open his cabin-window at night, for the accommodation of a gentleman who came home with him as a passenger, and who was afflicted with an asthma. By the time he arrived off Falmouth, his disorder increased considerably; in his anxiety to land dispatches from the Marquis Wellesley, then at Seville, he was exposed to a great deal of bad weather, in the latter end of last October; and after making use of the speaking trumpet, when it blew a gale of wind, in a fit of coughing he broke a blood-vessel. However, as it was the first wish of his heart to go out in his new ship, he proceeded to Portsmouth, and had nearly fitted her for sea, when he broke the ruptured vessel a second time. The physician of the fleet then gave it as his opinion, that it was certain death to enter into active service, and ordered him home, where he gradually declined, till death put a period to his sufferings. Such is a brief sketch of the life of this excellent young man. As an Officer, his merits were of the very highest order, and gave promise of his one day earning the right to be enrolled in the annals of his country, amongst those who have done so much honour to it by their courage and capacity. An attention to his duty that was unremitting, a perfect knowledge of his profession, an intrepidity that never failed him when present death was before his eyes; but above all, a lively regard to the comforts of his crew were only a part of those qualities which formed his title as an Officer. On-board his ship he never allowed the meanest cabin boy to be struck, and perhaps there was no other in which there were so few punishments. Those only who knew him intimately can form an adequate idea of the kindness and virtues of his noble heart: he was the delight of his friends; and it may be said of him, with the greatest truth, that he was one of the brightest ornaments of the arduous and honourable profession which he had chosen. only sister and heiress of the Rev. John Heathfield, Minister of Northaw, Herts, who died the 6th of February last, leaving a will written, but not executed, and therefore useless: but his sister solicitously endeavoured to fulfil what she thought his intentions. She was buried on the 31st of May, the day on which the new church at Northaw was opened, to which the Rev. Samuel Davis is presented. P. 567.

T Balasore, in the East In Nov. 23. Adies, aged 23, the wife of Lieut.-cel. Piumer, 2d reg. Native Infant ry, and dau. of Mr. Robert Trueman, of Bread-street, London, after a long and painful illness, sustained in every part of its progress with the meekness and re signation which innocence and virtue inspire. Possessing all the advantages of youth and beauty, amiable in her manners, with every accomplishment that euhauces the charms of female character, she was esteemed wherever known; yet all these exterior accomplishments, the graces of person and manner, that ren dered her valuable and acceptable to so ciety, derived a higher lustre from the inestimable qualities of her mind; the sweetness of her disposition, the benevo lence of her heart, and the genuine worth that shone in every part of her conduct endeared her to her family and friends. Her early fall, in the bloom of youth and beauty, is a severe visitation to a fond and disconsolate husband, and to those friends and relations who knew and adwired her virtues. 30, At 30. At Patna, in the East Indies, Bethia, the wife of the Rev. W. A. Keating. Dec. 7. At Muscat, in Persia, in the 23d year of his age, Wm. Chicheley Bunce, esq. British Resident at that place for the East India Company; to which appointment he was very lately promoted by the Government of Bombay. He was the only son of Mr. Wm. Bunce, of Northiam in Sussex, and nephew to R. C. Plowden, esq. director. His superior abilities, and rectitude of conduct, obtained him the most reputable patrons, and every honourable distinction in the Service that his youth would admit of, and his deportment to all ranks of people their entire confidence, esteem, and attachment. 30. At Madras, aged 20, Lieut. Henry A. Howell, 5th Native Infantry, son of Mr. Jas. H. of Surrey-street, Strand. 1810, Jan. 7. At Guilon, Madras, aged 25, Lieutenant Peter Fenoulhet, 2d batt.. 14th reg. Native Infantry. The honourable zeal he at all times manifested in the discharge of the duties of his profession, was alone equalled by that honest integrity, and those amiable qualities, he displayed in all the transactions and scenes of private and social life. As he lived beloved by all, but by none more than his now surviving brother-officers, so must his death be regretted and deeply lamented by those who ever enjoyed the pleasure of his acquaintance. .... 8. At Calcutta, aged 16, William only son of the Rev. Wm. Birch, of Rugby, Warwickshire. March On board His Majesty's ship Pompée, at Guadaloupe, aged 20, Mr. Wm.

Aged 67, Mrs. Beldam, wife of Mr. Valentine B. of Bishop Stortford; the warmth of whose friendship endeared her to an extensive circle of acquaintance, and whose tender and active sympathy often rendered her a benefactress to the poor, and a solace to the afflicted. Her social disposition, and great cheerfulness of mind, united with perfect propriety of manners, made her a fit companion equally for the old and young. In the private relations of life she ever discovered a heart full of feeling and affection; and while her immediate connexions live to regret her loss, they will continue to bless her memory in the recollection of her many virtues. Bred in the faith and practice of a Christian, she held fast her profession, and died in that humble hope which the Gospel only can create and fulfil. 12. At Antigua, aged 49, Capt. Charles White, R.

He had engraved his own grave-stone, and had his coffin in his own house. He had no one to live with him, and refused to live with his son, who had long wished him to let his wife attend him. July 1. At Witney, Oxfordshire, aged 80, Mrs. Gray, relict of James G. esq. attorney; much regretted by her surviving friends, to whose esteem she was entitled by the many worthy qualities which she possessed. Her numerous charities will render her loss severely felt by the poor, to whom she was a liberal benefactress. Aged 74, Mr. John Batchelor, of Oxford, mason. 2. Aged 84, at the house of her sister Mrs. Willyams, at St. Stephen's, near Canterbury, Mrs. Mary Goodere, elder surviving sister of the late Sir Edward Goodere and Sir John Dinely, barts. (See Gent. Mag. vol. LXV. pp. 1055 and 1115, and vol. LXXIX. p. 1171.) This excellent woman passed through her long life in the constant practice of every virtue. She was in the strictest sense of the word a Christian; for she made the doctrines and example of the most benevolent of beings the unremitted object of her thoughts, and of her imitation. Her loss is deeply felt, and sincerely regretted by his family and friends. At Turnham-green, Mr. Ogden, some years ago a resident at Manchester; and well known on the turf.

D. for upwards of 30 years one of the ministers of the Dissenting chapel in Redcross-street, Manchester. At Paisley, aged 73, Mr, Hugh Simm. He was a native of that town; and, though bred a mechanic, at an early pe. riod of life discovered so strong an inclination after literary pursuits, that, without the assistance of a teacher, he made considerable proficiency in the study of the Latin language, &c. The discovery of this invincible propensity to literature, as well as aptness to learn, joined to a religious turn of mind, induced the late celebrated Dr. Witherspoon, when he left. Paisley, to take him along with him to America; where, in Princetou-college, New Jersey (over which the learned Doctor presided), devoting his attention to the study of the learned languages and, other branches of science, he became a Student of Divinity. The unfortunate revolutionary war, however, soon breaking out, his literary progress was unavoidably interrupted, and his connexion with his patron broken off, as their political sentiments respecting American independence happened to be extremely opposite. Dr. Witherspoon, as it is well known, at an early period of the contest, became a Member of Congress, and, by his writings, speeches, and other active exertions, contributed in no small degree toward the se paration of the colonies from the mothercountry; while Mr. Simm, in his humble sphere, became warmly devoted to the Royal cause. Aged 76, Isaac Heaton, esq. of Norfolk-street, Strand. In Stratford-place, the wife of John Kingston, esq. M. P. 4. At Chelsea, the widow of the late Rev.

At the Free School, Margate, Jane, the wife of Mr. Zechariah Cozens, in the 47th year of her age, leaving him and six children to lament their inexpressible loss. She was descended from the Bedo's of Lymue, near Hythe, in Kent, "John Bedo, gent. ob. 14th Sept. 1767, ætat. 73," being her grandfather; and who was buried in Lymne church aforesaid. She had, through a happy union of nearly 23 years, evinced herself to be a woman of equanimity of temper, fortitude of mind, and indefatigable in her arduous sphere of life. To him, who, with a bleeding heart, recalls her virtues to remembrance, she was every thing that was desirable in a wife, a mother, and a friend. She had in Christian hope consigned the remains of three sons and one daughter to the peaceful grave, with whose dear ashes her worn-out, tender frame now rests. She had laboured, since the 1st of December last, under the fatal effects of the rupture of a blood-vessel on the lungs; which, as is too frequently the case, generated that too common ravager of the human racea pulmonary consumption; and though every means which medical skill could devise were resorted to, alas! all were in vain. She sustained the long conflict with increased equanimity and fortitude of mind; and met the last Enemy with all the confidence and comfort, which faith in the merits and intercession of a Redeemer can alone inspire. Aged 64, W. Drage, esq. of Buntingford, Herts. Aged 55, Joseph Wilkinson, esq. of Bramhope, and recently of Hawksworth, near Leeds; a gentleman well known and highly respected in that neighbourhood, as major of the Leeds volunteers, and subsequently as captain in the Wharfdale corps.

At Hatton, near Warwick, in the 38th year of her age, Mrs. Sarah-Anne Wynne, the only remaining daughter of the Rev. Dr. Parr. The brilliancy of her imagery in conversation and writing; the readiness, gaiety, and fertility of her wit; the acuteness of her observations upon men and things; and the variety of her knowledge upon the most familiar and most profound subjects; were very extraordinary. They who lived with her in the closest intimacy were again and again struck with admiration at the rapidity, case, vivacity, and elegance of her epis tolary compositions: whether upon lively or serious topics, they were always adapted to the occasion; they were always free from the slightest taint of affected phraseology and foreign idiom; they were always distinguished by a peculiar felicity and originality of conception and expression; and the genius displayed in them would most undoubtedly have placed the writer in the very highest class of her female contemporaries, if she had employed her pen upon any work with a deliberate view to publication. Her reading in the most approved authors, both French and English, was diversified and extensive; her memory was prompt and correct; and her judgment, upon all questions of taste and literature, morality and religion, evidently marked the powers with which she had been gifted by Nature, and the advantages which she had enjoyed for culti vating those powers under the direction of her enlightened parents, and in the society of learned and ingenious men, tọ which she had access from her earliest infancy. With becoming resignation to the will of Heaven she endured a long and painful illness, which had been brought upon her by the pressure of domestic sorrow on a constitution naturally weak. Her virtues as a friend, a child, a wife, and a mother, were most exemplary; and her piety, being sincere, rational, and habitual, gave additional value to the great faculties of her understanding, and the generous feelings of her heart. At Carshalton, Surrey, aged 70, Mr. W. Bird, of Howard-street, many years resident in the Strand, near Temple-bar. James Serie, esq. of Bishopstoke, many years receiver-general of Hampshire, and steward to the Bishop of Winchester.

He was justly esteemed by all who knew him for the urbanity of his manners and the undeviating rectitude of his conduct.
