He was born in 1746; the only son of Francis Earl of Dalkeith, by Lady Caroline Campbell, eldest daughter of John, the great Duke of Argyle; and succeeded his grandfather in 1752. In 1767, his Grace married Elizabeth Montagu, only daughter of the late Duke of Montagu, by whom he has issue, Charles William, now Duke of Buccleugh and Queensberry, and Henry James, Lord Montagu, and four daughters, viz. the Countess of Courtown, Countess of Ancram, Countess of Home, and Lady Douglas; all of whom have families. He is succeeded in his titles and estates by his eldest son, Charles William, Eart of Dalkeith, who married Harriet, daughter of the late Visc. Sidney, and has several children. His Grace succeeded at an early age to a princely fortune, which gave him the means of indulging his natural disposition to public spirit and private liberality, to which purposes, accordingly, a considerable part of his immense funds were known to be applied. He was exceedingly affable in his manners; and what deserves to be recorded of a person so greatly exalted both in rank and fortune, was generally accessible to the poor. As a landlord, his liberality was well known; he was easy of access, and always ready to take an active part in any scheme of benevolence and humanity. He possessed great political influence..

He evinced his firm friendship to the established religion of his country by an uniform attention to its ordinances. From a natural diffidence of temper he led a retired life; but his hospitable table was ever open to a few clerical friends, who esteemed him when living, and will

feel his loss with peculiar regret. The worthy poor, who frequently partook of his unostentatious bounty, will shed the tear of sympathy at the death of a man whose heart was susceptible of the finest feelings of benevolence.

Jan.

Jan. 20. In Half Moon-street, in her 77th year, Mrs. Jebb, widow of John Jebb, M. D. F. R. S. (who died March 2, 1786.) Mrs. Jebb was the eldest daughter of the late Rev. James Torkington, rector of King's Rippon and Little Stukely in Huntingdonshire, and of Lady Dorothy Sherard, daughter of Philip second Earl of Harborough. She was married to Dr. Jebb in 1764, when he was in the height of his literary reputation at Cambridge. The Doctor, it is well known, engaged in some very serious controversies with the University, particularly on abolishing Subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles, at the time of taking degrees, and on publie annual examinations of Under-graduates. These disputes found exercise for the first talents at that time in the University; and Mrs. Jebb was not content with being a silent observer: she became the active opponent of Dr. Powell, the Master of Saint John's College, who conducted the other side of the controversy, and who felt as sensibly the point of Mrs. Jebb's pen in the public prints as he did of the learned Doctor's. It was in reference to the force of argument contained in a smart pamphlet written by Mrs. Jebb on the same subject, under the signature of Priscilla, that the late Dr. Paley said at the time, "The Lord had sold Sisera into the hands of a Woman." When Dr. Jebb, having embraced some speculative opinions which he thought made it neeessary for him to resign his preferment, and to leave the Church, settled in London; he became a physician and a strenuous political reformer. No name is better known among the advocates of Parliamentary Reform, than that of Dr. J.; and the active energy of Mrs. J. is also well known. Being an invalid, she lived a retired life: but her zeal rose to the full level of her husband's: she saw with the same quickness, glowed with the same ardour, and wrote occasionally with the same spirit. But Mrs. Jebb was not more distinguished for the vigour of her mind,

than the qualities of her heart. She was a Christian, without bigotry; a moralist, without severity; a politician, without self-interest or ambition; a sincere friend, without disguise, and without reserve.With considerable powers of mind, she possessed all the amiable softness of the female character. With as few failings as could well fall to the lot of humanity, she exercised an unlimited candour in judging those of others. Candour and benignity were the prominent features of her character. Her friends, therefore, were numerous, and she could not have a single enemy. These superior qualities of mind and heart were lodged in a body of the most delicate texture. The frame of Mrs. Jebb was extremely feeble; her countenance always languid and wan. She used to recline on a sofa, and had not been out of her room above once or twice these twenty years-she seemed the shadow of a shade, or rather all soul and intellect, like one dropped from another sphere. For her ardour and patriotie firmness, mixed with urbanity and gentleness, and occasionally brightening with innocent playfulness, gave that to her countenance, which the mere bloom of health cannot bestow, nor the pen describe; it gave a singular interest to her character; it can only be felt, and will be lastingly remembered by her surviving friends.

Jan. 24. In Portman-square, Isabella Susanna, Countess of Beverley, second daughter of Peter Burrell, esq. of Beckenham in Kent, sister to the Duchess of Northumberland, and the Duchess Dowager of Hamilton, now Marchioness of Exeter, and Peter Lord Gwydir.

Jan. 27. At Sutton, Surrey, the wife of Ambrose Hall, esq. of that place, and of Albion-street, Blackfriars.
