90 OBITUARY.-Lieut. Pace.-S. Nash, Esq.-Mr. Heurtley. for his meritorious conduct, the rank of purser, in which his career was tertinated by a fit of the gout. In May 1778, Mr. G. Pace entered the naval service, as a volunteer, on board the Amphitrite frigate, then employed in the North Sea; and in January 1780 removed into the Ariadne of 28 guns, commanded by Captain Squires, on the same station. In the following year the Astre frigate being about to sail for the American and West India stations, Mr. Pace joined that ship; after which he served for a short time in a transport employed in the Channel. Peace with America having now taken place, and all prospects of advancement in the navy being at an end, Mr. Pace quitted the service, as did many others, who, like himself, were deficient in the necessary interest to insure the attainment of promotion. When the French revolution, with all its attendant horrors, took place, Mr. Pace again came forward, and served in the Shannon frigate with Captain (now Admiral) Alexander Fraser, and in 1797 was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, and to the Racoon sloop of war, which vessel was most actively and successfully employed on the Downs station, in taking several French privateers which infested the English coast, to the great annoyance of the trade. In consequence of ill health, brought on through over exertion in the active discharge of his duty, Lieut. Pace was, in 1799, compelled to resign his appointment, and retired upon half pay. In the following year he however so far recovered as to solicit employment, and was appointed in April to the Glatton of 64 guns, employed in the North Sea. The severity of the weather off the coast of Holland, where, from the activity of the enemy, it was necessary to have ships constantly employed to watch their motions, compelled him, in January 1801, to leave that ship. In a few months after, he again offered his services, and received an appointment to the Redoubt, of 64, and was selected to command a tender belonging to that ship, which he continued to do until the Peace of Amiens. On war being again declared, Lieutenant Pace was appointed to the Prince George, commanded by Captain (now Vice Admiral) Sir J. S. Yorke, fitting at Portsmouth, when from ill health, brought on by a complaint in the liver, he was forced to resign his situation, and obtained an appointment in the sea fencibles at Poole, and subsequently removed from thence to superintend the signal station at Ballard Hill on the coast of Dorsetshire, where he remained until the whole of those esta Jan. After blishments were discontinued. In his profession, Lieut. Pace, by assiduity and attention to bis orders, obtained the praise and approbation of all his commanders; and, by granting such indulgencies as the naval service permitted, the good will of those whom he was placed over. In private life he was much esteemed for his urbanity of manners, and a disposition to alleviate the distress of his fellow creatures, as far as his means admitted. As a social companion, he was lively and entertaining, and much esteemed among his friends. His remains were deposited in the church-yard of St. George's, Southwark, followed by some of his brother officersand acquaintances, who had enjoyed his society for many years. He has left a widow to lament his death. N. I. SAMUEL NASH, ESQ. Jan. 13. In Skinner-street, Bishopsgate Without, aged 64, Samuel Nash, esq. Senior Warden of the Company of Stationers, one of the Founders and Managing Directors of the Eagle Insurance Office, and 22 years a Representative in Common Council for the Ward of Bishopsgate. In his domestic circle, and among his numerous private friends, he was much respected; and his various public occupations were discharged with great zeal and the strictest integrity. Though long suffering under a severe illness, which had deprived him of the use of his right arm, he acquired the habit of writing with his left hand; and he was conscientiously attentive to his various official duties till nearly the day of his dissolution. MR. ARCHIBALD HEURTLEY, Dec. 29. At Worksop, co. Nottingham, Mr. Archibald Heurtley. After a series of sufferings seldom experienced, he was confined to his bed and room for near seven years, experiencing the unremit 1823.] OBITUARY.-Mrs. Wesley.-Clergy Deceased. ting attention of an affectionate wife, who was his only nurse, and who, with her two children, are left to deplore their loss. He had formerly commanded vessels in the West India, Surinam, and St. Domingo trades; and, like British seamen of our day, possessed nautical abilities and an energy so often acknowledged as their due. Appointed as Agent for Lloyd's at Portsmouth, it gave a full opportunity, during the latter part of the war, for his activity and diligence in his duty; and the Port Admiral regarded him, and sent for him frequently to converse, after the exertions of the day were over. Unfortunately for him and his family, an occurrence took place that served to display his abilities for, and his attachment to, his duty; as well as the willingness of the Admiral and the Officers of the yard to render him the most prompt assistance. A ship bound to the Cape of Good Hope, with a very valuable cargo on board, worth perhaps forty thousand pounds, foundered at her anchors at St. Helen's. After unparalleled exertions of a fortnight, he raised her, but it was to sink himself into the grave. The property, for the benefit of the underwriters, was saved, but to his family he is lost! A cold caught by these exertions, after the lengthened period alluded to, overcame his excellent constitution, and, in the prime of life, he was taken from that active, energetic application, which ultimately must have placed him in a respectable situation in life. It may be added, by way of remark, that, next to British Consuls in foreign ports, the Agents for Lloyds, if of a character sufficient to support their station, add greatly to the advantages of this maritime and commercial country, and prove highly advantageous to the merchant, the ship-owner, and the underwriter. MRS. WESLEY. Dec. 28. In Nottingham-street, Maryle-bone, in ber 97th year, Sarah, relict of the Rev. Charles Wesley, M. A. celebrated for his sacred poetry, author of the well-known hymn, "Jesus, lover of my soul," and brother to the late Rev. John Wesley, M. A.

Wesley, with whom she lived in the most agreeable manner till her husband's death, March 29, 1788. One of her brothers, the late Roderick Gwynne, esq. was Governor of Tobago. She was a woman of good sense, piety, and agreeable accomplishments; and devoted her 91 youth to God, when surrounded by worldly attractions; and his providence and grace were her support and consolation to extreme old age.
