took him up more than 40 years, during the whole series of which he spared neither pains nor expence to bring it to maturity; and the reputation which it still maintains in the judgment of the publick, is the best proof of its merits. Notwithstanding his attention to this his favourite object during the whole of the above time, he acted as a magistrate and a deputylieutenant for the County of Kent with uncommon zeal and activity. He was the only son of Edward Hasted, of Hawley, in that county, esq. barrister at law, was descended paternally from the noble family of Clifford, as he was maternally from the antient and knightly family of the Dingleys of Woolverton, in the Isle of Wight.

In the latter part of his life he felt the pressure of adverse fortune, which obliged him to quit his residence in Kent, after which he lived in obscure retirement, and for some time in the environs of London, noticed by a few valuable friends, from whom he received constant tokens of benevolent friendship, as having known him in more fortunate circumstances, several of whom are of the rank of Nobility, and of high estimation in life. A few years ago, his honourable and highly respected patron and friend, the Earl of Radnor, presented him to the Mastership of the Hospital at Corsham in Wiltshire (a most desirable asylum), to which he then removed; and, having obtained, a few years ago, the Chancellor's decree for the recovery of his estates in Kent, of which he had been defrauded, it enabled him again to enjoy the sweets of an independent competence during the remainder of his life *."

At an early. age he entered into the Coldstream guards; and served his first, campaign under the Duke of York in Holland. During the rebellion in Ireland, he was Brigade-major to Gen. Sir G. Nugent, where he was remarkable for his courage, humanity, and good conduct. The Gazette of that time particularly notices him. He served in the expedition to Egypt.

In consequence of the wounds received at the head of his brigade, in gallantly entering the breach of Ciudad Rodrigo, Major-general Craufurd. On the 25th, his remains were interred in the breach: Lord Wellington, and every officer in the neighbourhood, followed him to the grave. At the time he was wounded, he was considerably advanced before his division, animating them to storm the breach. There cannot be a stronger proof of the regard the light division bore him than the following circumstance:-Upon his return to Portugal last spring, he joined his division, when the army was drawn up to receive Massena's attack at Fuente d'Honore, and as soon as he appeared at their. head, the whole division gave him three cheers in presence of the Enemy. He, served under all the first characters in our army, and they had all the highest sense of his great merits; none more so than the present illustrious Commander-inChief. In private life, he was one of the best and most estimable of men. The loss that the country sustains in him is very great; and to his wife and four children it is irreparable. - The following official account of the fate of this gallant officer, addressed to the Earl of Liverpool, appeared in the London Gazette, of February 22:"My Lord, Major-gen. Craufurd died, on the 24th ult. of the wounds received on the 19th, while leading the light division of this army to the assault of Ciudad Rodrigo. Although the conduct of Major-gen. C. on the occasion on which these wounds. were received, and the circumstances which occurred, have excited the admiration of every officer in the army, I cannot report his death to your Lordship, without expressing my sorrow and regret, that his Majesty has been deprived of the services, and I of the assistance, of an officer of tried talents and experience, who was an ornament to his profession, and was well calculated to render the most important services to his country.-WELLINGTON."

Jan. 25. At Highgate, in his 74th year, after a short illness, Mr. Henry Isherwood, many years at the head of the very extensive paper-hanging manufactory on Lud gate Hill; where he was nearly the oldest housekeeper in the parishes of St. Bride and St. Martin (his house and warehouses extending into both). He was almost universally known, and as generally respected, for his integrity, punctuality, and benevolence, and for a few harmless singuJarities in dress and manners. In business he was as punctual as St. Paul's clock; in friendship (as we can, amidst many others, testify) warm, steady, and unremitting in his exertions to assist in any difficulty. And to the distressed of every description he was a liberal but unostentatious benefactor. In such a man Society in general has lost a link of a most valuable chain.

Miss Randell, of Clapham. At Lieutenant-general Davies's, Grove, Blackheath, Mary Rosamond, only daughter of Major Alex. Tulloch, of the royal artillery.

At Redland, near Bristol, Rev. Dr. Thos. Jones, vicar of King's Teignton, Devon, and chaplain to the Duke of Kent. His many estimable qualities endeared him to his family, and to all who knew him. He had conducted for several years a classical seminary of high character, and in a maurer greatly to his credit, as an able and accomplished scholar.

At Lowther, J. Richardson, esq. principal agent to the Earl of Lonsdale, receiver-general and clerk for the county of Westmoreland.

Jan. 26. Suddenly, the wife of Mr. N. Beard, of Hoxton-square, and mother of Lieut. Geo. B., who fell in the battle of Albuèra. (See last volume, p. 88).

At Upton-place, Essex, aged 45, Elizabeth, wife of Anthony Hartshorne, esq. of the Customs.

Aged 82, Mr. T. Showell, formerly master of the Roebuck-inn, Oxford.

Jan. 27. Suddenly, in Hatton-garden, aged 68, Mrs. Watson..

Aged 77, Mr. J. Jennings, of Brandiston, Suffolk. Returning home from his son's house, in the same parish, he met the funeral of an old acquaintance, which so affected his spirits, that, after reaching his owu house, he died in a few minutes.

At Bath, aged 77, Francis Morgan, esq. late of Shepton Mallet.

At Blechingley, in his 70th year, Mr. John Radley.

Jan. 28. Aged 74, Mr. Richard Harri

son, the very respectable clerk of the parish of St. George Bloomsbury, which office he had filled near 47 years, with great credit to himself and satisfaction to the parish. The Church is one of the fifty new ones provided by Queen Anne, and was consecrated in the year 1730, since which it is very remarkable that there have been but three rectors and two parish-clerks. The rectors have been, Dr. Vernon, Dr. Tarrant, Dean of Peterborough, and Dr. Thomas Willis." Mr. Richard Harrison," another correspondent observes, "was father of the parish clerks. For a strict and exemplary discharge of his duty he was equalled by few, and excelled by none. The large wig which he wore indicated the grandeur and dignity of his station. His zeal sometimes betrayed him into indiscretions, and caused him to assume a dictatorial air which gave offence to the younger clergy. It was his custom for many years to take a solemn walk on a Sunday morning around the church, previously to the commencement of the service, to see that every thing was in order; when in the desk, he would frequently by his gestures remind strangers of the impropriety of sitting during the singing of the Psalms. In short, he might be truly styled an original. He was just and honest in all his dealings as an undertaker and upholsterer, and many families entertained the highest respect for his character. He was so attached to psalmody, that not even the rector could influence him to sing less than he thought proper. His numerous relations, to whom he had been a sincere friend and liberal benefactor, have reason to regret his death."

J. Lagier Lamotte, esq. late of Thornegrove, near Worcester.

Mrs. Vessiere, of Leicester.

Jan. 28. Thrown out of a gig, in Leadenhall-street, in consequence of passing a stage coach at a quick pace, by which a waggon went over her head and killed her on the spot, aged 19, the wife of Mr. May, ironmonger, Oxford-street.
