other, induced him to retreat from a scene, which, however it might have been gratifying to the activity of his youth, was inconsistent with his views of quiet and retirement. His resignation was attended with the regrets of his constituents, who presented him with an elegant memorial of their approbation and of their gratitude. Im his public character as member of ParJiament, his views were uniformly directed to the public good, without a glance of private advantage to himself or his family. Those who differed from him when he opposed one war, or supported another, acknowledged the rectitude of his principles. He was equally zealous in the service of his constituents. He exerted his utmost powers in promoting their interests and relieving their wants. He never denied access or assistance to the meanest of his fellow-townsmen. Benevolence was so ingrafted in his disposition, that when he had ceased to represent the town, his active friendship to the inhabitants suffered no diminution. In short, in every period and relation of life, he united the urbanities of a man of the world with the strictest practice of the duties of morality, and the works of Christian charity.

Aged 87, Mrs. Eliz. Bennett, of New Palace-yard, Westminster.

At. Shrewsbury, aged 86, Mr. John Nelson, whose eminent abilities as a Statuary will be long remembered in this and the neighbouring counties, where specimens of his ingenuity may be seen in many of the churches and in the mansions of the nobility and gentry. The last efforts of his art are the statue of Roger de Montgomery in Shrewsbury castle, the statue of Sir Rowland Hill on the top of the column in Hawkstone-park, and the two Sphinxes on the West entrance to Hawkstone-house, the seat of Sir John Hill, bart. Having had a liberal education, and possessing a fund of lively anecdote, he was a very pleasant companion. The following lines were written in form of a question "to the worthy and aged Nelson;" soon after which the subjoined answer appeared.

Among those men who merit praise,
And live in breathing stone,
Why has not NELSON'S bust a place?
For he could cut his own.

the Dowager Lady Onslow, relict of the late Rich. Lord O. (who died in 1776) and daughter of Sir E. Elwill, bart.

Aged 32, Mr. William Gilbert, Blackfriars - road, grocer; highly respectedfor his integrity in his dealings with the world, and much esteemed by his numerous friends and acquaintances. His death was occasioned by bursting a blood-vessel about two months before, which brought on a rapid consumption. He lost an amiable wife about two years and a half ago, through the same melancholy cause, only 27 years of age. They have left three young children to lament their loss, who, however, are well provided for; and their friends are happy in knowing that they are placed by his will under the protection of guardians, who will as far as possible. supply the care, and mitigate the loss, of parental affection and tenderness.

In Cannon-st. aged 81, Mr. R. Howden. At Portsmouth, Lieut. Wm. Perkins, Commander of H. M. schooner Pickle. April 21. Mrs, Foakes, wife of Mr. J. F. Land Surveyor, of Mitcham, Surrey.

April 24. At Totness, Devon, in his 23d. year, Hen. Yate, of Clare-hali, Cambridge. If all that recommends and endears mortals to each other, could avert the barbed arow of death, or withdraw his sting, hé that is here feebly commemorated, would not have sunk to an early tomb, or might have met the last enemy without fear; but while these qualities heighten the loss sustained by his relatives and friends, they are consoled by an assurance the dear departed "did not look to aught in self to save," Early and fully instructed in the doctrines and precepts of the gospel, extreme vivacity, and his situation in life, conspired during the heighday of health to render him in a measure inattentive to religious duties; but, when "death menaced oft, and oft withheld the blow," his tender susceptible heart readily listened to the small still voice which whispered "an opening grave, and a judgment-day, are not to be trifled with." Deeply contrite for the past, he sought and found refuge in Him who "never said to any of the seed of Adam, seek ye my face in vain;" and by him was enabled to look death in the face.

In Charles-st. Berkeley-sq. after an illness of three weeks, at midnight, in the presence of all her children, and of three of her old and faithful attendants, aged 72, the Rt. Hon. Lora, Viscountess Downe, who resided at her seat called Bookham Grove, in the county of Surrey, alternately, with her house in Charles-st, Berkeley-sq. for a period of more than 35 years,-happy and respected. She was the only daughter and heir of Wm. Burton, esq. of Luffenham, in the county of Rutland (one of the Commissioners of his Majesty's Excise),

by

by his wife Elizabeth, daughter of John Pitt, by his second wife Lora Grey, of Kingston, in the county of Dorset. She was the wife, and for above 31 years the surviving widow, of John, fourth Viscount Downe, of the antient Yorkshire family of Dawnay. She was the mother of five surviving children: John-Christopher-Burton, Visc. Downe, Baron Dawnay of Cowick; the Hon. Catharine Dawnay; the Hon. and Rev. Wm. Henry Dawnay, of Sessay in the North-riding of Yorkshire; the Hon. Marmaduke Dawnay; and the Hon. and Rev. Thos. Dawnay of Ashwell, in the county of Rutland. She was a good daughter, a good wife, a good mother, and a good mistress: and, in return, she was happy in those several relations of private life. She inherited no small portion of the manly vigour of her father's understanding, and all his integrity. To personal attractions, she added suavity of manners and a healthful flow of spirits. She was endeared to those who knew her best, by the strongest ties of affection and respect. A real, unpretending, and almost unconscious good seuse, and a firm desire to act right upon every occasion, to the best of her judgment, were her most distinguishing characteristicks. Activity of mind and body; sound health; cheerful manners; the open confidence of an honest mind; the lively serenity of an easy conscience; with a benevolent disposition, and hereditary personal graces both of form and face, which even in age had not disappeared, complete her picture. Those who knew her best, most highly prized her. The most illustrious members of the House of Pitt, had. they known her, might have been proud of their kinswoman. And she reflected all the lustre that virtue can reflect, upon the antient and honourable family into which she married. And if at any one time she appeared greater than at another, the unaffected magnanimity of her closing scene marked that for the period.

Apr. 25. In his 26th year, Mr.Wm.Aldis, of Beccles; he had a high regard for the Antiquities of his country, and was occasionally a contributor to our Magazine.

D. 1769. If the uniform efforts of a long life to contribute to the welfare and happiness of his friends and the community at large, claim any praise, no man ever deserved it better of his country, or more piety merit their respect, than this venerable Divine.

April 30. Aged 60, Mr. Henry Lemoine, many years known to the Booksellers of London as a Translator of German and

other languages, and compiler of several of the many numerous Tracts with which London abounds, and, who contributed many poetical Essays to this and several other periodical publications. See his account of D:, Robert Saunders in our Vol LIII. p. 311; and his Letters on the Jews in our last Volume are also particularly interesting. He was for some time a Bookseller in Bishopsgate Church-yard; but had for many years past been neglected by all branches of his family, though some of them are of respectable connexions; and he of course experienced all those wants and deprivations which generally accompany poverty and neglect. The last year and a half of his life were rendered more comfortable by the friendship of a person who till that period was a stranger to him, and under whose hospitable roof he lived for that space of time as one of the family, and by whose attentions his remains were deposited in the grave, with the respect they were intitled to.

At Woolton, Mr. Thomas Lloyd, assistant teacher at the Rev. W. Shepherd's school. He was a man of singularly extensive acquirements, being well versed in the Latin, French, and Italian languages, and possessing a tolerable acquaintance with the German and the Greek. In mathematicks he was profoundly skilled. His integrity was unimpeachable, and his manners were at once simple and cheerful. About 14 years ago the exercise of his poetical talent unfortunately became to him the fruitful source of distress, and in its consequences brought him to an untimely end. Having composed a political song, he was sentenced to suffer two years imprisonment, and to pay a fine of 50l. Soon after he was conveyed to the House of Correction at Preston, which was appointed as the place of his confinement, his brother addressed to him a letter, in which he expressed himself in terms of strong indignation at the result of his trial. This letter was opened by the jailor, and by him transmitted to a magistrate, who, instead of proceeding against the writer, gave orders that the unconscious prisoner, to whom it was addressed, should be put into close confinement. These orders were but too well obeyed. Every morning Mr. Lloyd was conducted from his sleeping-cell to a solitary apartment, totally destitute of furniture, he not being allow

ed even a chair to sit on, nor any book except the book of Common Prayer. Here he was locked up till bed-tine, when he was carefully guarded back to his place of rest. This process lasted for six months, during which time he was on no occasion suffered to quit his day-room, to open the only window of his apartment, or to hold intercourse with any one save his keepers. At the end of that time he was, in consequence of the remonstrances of Mr. Scarlett, put on the same footing with his fellow

prisoners. It was soon evident, however, that his health had been dreadfully im paired, and, though during the remainder of his confinement he was treated with humanity, and was promoted to the confidential situation of acting clerk to the prison, he left Preston at the expiration of the term of his imprisonment with a confirmed asthma, which yearly becoming more and more oppressive, for the last twelve months rendered the prolongation of existence a painful toil, and finally terminated his mortal career with acute suffering.

Mr. D. was a native of Scotland, educated at Dumfries, and about eight years ago, on the extension of the uses of that antient and weanny endowment, was selected from eleven other candidates, and nominated by the Earl of Moira to the appointment, then first created. To the acquirements and unwearied application of Mr. D. the institution owes much of its present high character; accidental circumstances having till lately deprived it of the advantages of a classical master (now, however, happily supplied by Rev. R.W. Lloyd, Fellow of St. John's Cambridge). The Trustees, to perpetuate their sense of Mr. D.'s extraordinary merits, have ordered a monument to be erected to his memory, the inscription for which we hope to present to our readers in some future number.

Lincoln. At Louth, aged 17, Elizabeth, eldest daughter of the late Mr. Charles Wigglesworth. The mother of the deceased, and four other children, are among the almost innumerable sufferers by the recent failure of the North Lincolnshire Bank; and it is a melancholy fact, that the young lady, whose dissolution is now noticed, has been hurried into the grave by that most unfortunate failure. Excessive grief, in consequence of the loss sustained by her family, brought on a disorder in the brain, which terminated her existence. The deceased was one of the several ladies in Louth, who, by their amiable and unwearted exertions in educating the children of the poor, have called forth the blessings and admiration of that and every other class of society.
