Dun. Mr. E. has left two daughters: the Countess of Cassillis, and an elder sister unmarried. May 16. In Lower Grosvenor-st. suddenly, Sir Frank Standish, bart. He ordered his servant, as he was rising, to prepare his breakfast; and on the latter returning in about ten minutes, he found his master dead; who, it is supposed, expired in an apoplectic fit. Sir F. possessed a fine family estate in Lancashire, and has left also a considerable personal property, but died without a will. Sir F. S. was a breeder of running horses, and sportsman on the turf. May 17. In Devonshire-place, Matthew Lewis, esq. May 18. In Sackville-st. James, eldest son of J. Buller, esq. one of the clerks of the Privy Council. Mr. Eastwood, of Staithwaite, near Huddersfield. This gentleman was the intimate friend of the late Mr. Horsfall, of Marsden; and soon after Mr. H. had received the fatal shots upon Crossland Moor (see p. 479.) he was thrown from his horse near the place where the assassination took place, and considerably hurt. Indifferent to his own injury, he ran on foot to Huddersfield, to procure surgical assistance for his friend; and on his return he again mounted his horse, and repaired to Huddersfield a second time, for a supply of medicine, when he was again thrown from his horse at the corner of the churchyard, and so much injured as to occasion a complaint in the abdomen, which terminated in his death. May 19. At Ardwick, near Manchester, aged 66, Mrs. Harvey, eldest daughter of the late John Markland, esq. of the former place, and relict of Mr. Harvey, surgeon, of Manchester. This excellent and valuable woman was long and justly endeared to her family and friends, by the benevolence of her heart, the attractive sweetness of her disposition, and the uniform cheerfulness and vivacity of her manners. Educated at a period when ornamental accomplishments were less attainable, and less eagerly sought after, than at the present day, she was indebted rather to Nature, and sound sense, than to the assistance of others, for those mental acquirements which she possessed in so large a degree. Her understanding was matured by reading, society, and reflection; and imparted a charm to her conversation, that rendered it alike acceptable and instructive to the young and old, the lively and the grave. Having, in early life, contracted an infirmity in her limbs, that baffled medical assistance, and proved incurable, Mrs. Harvey was debarred of those delightful pursuits which exercise and strength of constitution perpetually afford; but Providence, which never takes away without adding commensurate blessings, gave to this amiable woman so many intellectual resources, and such a serenity of temper, that the deprivations she endured were scarcely felt by herself, however lamented by her friends. The sufferings it was her fate to undergo during the illness that terminated her life, were extreme, and of long continuance; but they were alleviated by, a conscience void of offence, and by those just and elevated views, which she had ever entertained upon subjects of religious belief. Her faith, firm and unclouded, and unsubdued by the pressure of bodily anguish, disarmed pain of its poignancy, and the grave of its terrors; and she closed a life of piety and virtue, by a death, tranquil, resigned, and holy. Dear to her family, her friends, and society, her memory will long be cherished with feelings of affection and esteem; and the general interest and regret excited by her loss will best evince the truth of this memorial. May 20. Charles Bowyer, infant son of Mr. J. B. Nichols, of Red Lion Passage. At Balham, co. Surrey, Mrs. Evans, relict of the late Geo. E. esq. and sister of Sir Charles Price, bart. M. P. May 21. In Pall Mall, after a few days' illness, aged 36, the wife of Dr. Heberden, one of his Majesty's Physicians. At Rayner-place, Chelsea, Thos. Pickles, esq. of the Stock Exchange. May 23. At Havering, Essex, Anne, wife of W. Jacobs, esq. of Great Portland-st. At Herne hill, Camberwell, Mrs. J. S. Winstanley, of Paternoster-row. May 25. Edmond Malone, esq. the wellknown commentator on Shakspeare. Of this truly polite and accomplished Scholar, we shall speak more fully in our next. AVERAGE PRICES of NAVIGABLE CANAL PROPERTY.
