To his exertions while in Italy, in the early part of his life which country he vifited for the restoration of his health, his intimate friend Mr. Rofcoe, and the publick at large, are indebted for many of the valuable documents in the celebrated Hiftory of Lorenzo de Medici; in particular, all the unpublished poems of Lorenzo were copied by his own hand from the 'manufcripts in the Laurentia library; fervices which affifted in laying the foundations of that other work, which Mr. Rofcoe has lately given to the world in his Life and Pontificate of Leo the Tenth. During his lingering and hopeless illness, his exertions in the caufe of Literature were unabated, the whole of the prooffheets of Mr. Rofcoe's laft publication having undergone his critical revifion, which is affectionately mentioned by his friend in his preface to the work. The urbanity of his manners, the gentleness of his difpofition, the liveliness and innocence of his wit, were attractions of the ftrongest kind in the circle of his intimate friends, and delightful to those who had even the pleasure of a tranfitory enjoyment; he will be long remembered, and his lofs as long regretted, by the best and the most enlightened in his native place.

Many years ago fhe performed Paulina, in the Winter's Tale, at Covent-garden Theatre, and was much admired for the judgment, feeling, and characteristic spirit with which the reprefented the character. Like her refpectable husband, she poffeffed literary talents, which have often afforded gratification to her friends, though modefty with-held her productions from the publick. Her character was diftinguished for every quality that could adorn private life; and her foftnefs, affability, and cheerfulness of temper, endeared her to a very numerous circle of friends. A happier couple than this venerable pair never entered into the pale of matrimony; and nothing could fupport the spirits of the unfortunate furvivor but that fenfe of Religion which has regulated his character through life, and which enables him to bear the fhock of fuch a lofs with a patient resignation that is not to be expected from the dictates of mere Philofophy. 24. At Eaft Kirkby, Mr. John Carter. There were found in his houfe above 500 guineas in fpecie, tied up in small parcels of five guineas each.

Aged 57, Mr. Chriftopher Fairchild, of Stamford, co. Lincoln, 35 years clerk to the collectors of excife for the district of Grantham, in that county. This evening, about 9 o'clock, Mr.Taylor, a carpenter, refiding near the church at Rotherhithe, returning home from Lilliput-hall, where he had drank rather too freely, miftook his way, and walked into the river, near Cherry-garden-stairs, where he was found dead the next morning, his face very much bruifed by the fall. 27. At Mount Pleafant, in the vicinity of Dublin, the Rev. William Kirwan, dean of Killala, and a celebrated preacher in Dublin. His diforder was a fever, which carried him off after a few days illness. Many charitable inftitutions of that city Howe their exiftence and profperity to his unparalleled exertions, where, regardlefs of his infirm ftate of health, to ufe the language of Mr. Grattan," in feeding the lamp of charity, he almost exhaufted the lamp of life." Thofe of the Clergy who poffeffed oratorical talents endeavoured to imitate his example, and thus a twofold good was produced to the community; while a few, a worthlefs few, endeavoured to detract from thefe talents, the contrafted brilliancy of which only deepened the darkness that furrounded them. His funeral was attended by an immenfe concourfe of the moft refpectable citizens, including almost every friend to humanity and genius now in Dublin. The children of the feveral charity-fchools walked in proceffion; amongst the reft, 150 female orphans, belonging to Mrs. Latouche's fchool, whofe caufe he fo often and fo eloquently pleaded, and who, in him, may be faid, a fecond time, to have loft a father. No lefs a fum than 1,400). was collected at a fingle fermon, preached by him for this inftitution. tive in his neighbourhood, or more zealous in promoting the welfare of his country, being fully perfuaded that he could be of more effential fervice to his neighbours by being out of than in Parliament. His idea was, never to facrifice real independence to the fafcinating glare of politi cal ambition. True to his King and Country, upon moft occafions he was a firm and active supporter of Government; and never with-held his fupport but when his confcience dictated to him that he could not confiftently promote meafures which he did not approve. His conduct as a magiftrate of the county of Kent, for near 50 years, was uniformly influenced by the moft unblemished integrity and ftri&teft impartiality: juftice was his fole aim; and he never loft fight of it. His affability of manners procured him univerfal esteem: his kindness, as a warm friend and faithful counfellor, can never be effaced from the remembrance of his furvivors. Having enjoyed a long and unufual courfe of happy and honourable days, he was removed from this life to a better in the 80th year of his age; but he ftill lives and ever muft live in the recollection of his friends and family; it was his virtues that endeared him to them, and his virtues can never die.

At his houfe on Blackheath, Richard Hulfe, efq. brother to the late, and uncle to the prefent, Sir Edward Hulfe, of Bremer-house, co. Wilts. He was one of the younger fons of Sir Richard Hulfe, bart.

He was placed under the private tuition of the juftly-celebrated Dr. Jortin, and completed his education at the Charterhoufe, where he was a contemporary with that illuftrious ftatefman the Earl of Liverpool. Thence he removed to St. Peter's-college, Cambridge, and was admitted a member of Lincoln's-inn; from which honourable Society he was called to the Bar. His attendance upon Weftminfter-hall was of short duration, and he foon abandoned his forenfic pursuits, to the great difappointment of his friends, who, from the early display of his brilliant talents, had indulged themselves with the pleafing expectation of feeing him arrive at the highest honours of that learned profeffion. His abilities foon became known 28. At Sherborne, in his 67th year, in the political circles, and he was re- much regretted by all who knew him, peatedly folicited to become a member of Erle Hawker, efq. late furviving fon of the British Senate: more than once he de- Peter H. efq. of Longparifh, Hants.

His remains were conveyed to the parish ehurch at Folke, attended by five companies of the Firft Regiment of Dorfet Volunteers, commanded by their Noble Colonel, the Earl of Digby, where they were depofited with great folemnity, in the prefence of a large concourse of spectators; the Volunteers, in the most steady and foldier-like manner, giving him the military honours fo juftly due to his rank and merit. The pall was fupported by Major Cunningham and the three fenior Captains of the above regiment; and all appeared anxious and forward to pay the laft tribute of refpe& to their departed friend. The whole was conducted with the utmoft decency and decorum, under the fuperintendance and direction of Major Cunningham. Mr. Wafs, grocer and thop-keeper, of North Mufkham, near Newark, Notts. About 30 years ago, it is fuppofed, he made a vow never to ftep out of his own houfe, on any account; and, notwithftanding the most earnest entreaties of his friends, he fcrupulously kept his vow.

At Fletching, Suffex, a fon of Mr. Cave, a refpectable shop-keeper, went out, as he faid, with the intention of going to Lord Sheffield's, and was abfent from this day till the 31ft, when Mr. Golder, ferjeantmajor of the Pevensey Legion, from intimation he had received from a labourer, had the fish-ponds of Mr. Streatfield, of the Rocks, dragged, and the body was found. No caufe can be affigned for this rash action; it is only faid that he was /latterly addicted to Methodifm. At four o'clock in the morning, at his lodgings in John-ftreet, Bath, and in his 95th year, the truly Rev. Daniel Dumarefq, D. D. prebendary of Salisbury and Wells. Perhaps the uniform conduct of no man in this or any other country came nearer to that of the primitive Chriftians in the Apoftolic age than that of this venerable Divine during his very long life. While the Doctor refided in Ruffia, 1766, to which the late Emprefs had invited him the year before, to fuperintend the eftablishment and regulation of feveral fchools intended to be established by her, he received a letter from a lady in England, recommending Dr. Brown, the celebrated author of the Effay of the Cha racteristicks, to affift him. Accordingly, the Doctor was invited 'over, and readily embraced the fcheme, which, finding it extended beyond his ideas of the plan, terminated fatally for him. The whole of what phfied on this occafion may be seen in the fecond edition of the Biographia Britannica, art. John Brown, II. 663. On which it may be fufficient to remark, that, however the laft tranfaction may be gloffed over by the biographer, little doubt remains that the Doctor's frenzy was the effect of vanity, felf-conceit, and pride, all diappointed. 2. At Louth, co. Lincoln, in her 61ft year, Mrs. Cowlam. At Stamford, aged 26, highly respected by his officers and corps, Theophilus Thomas, ferjeant of the 7th Light Dragoons.

Early in life, on finishing his ftudies at Westminster-fchool, at a leason when the afpect of the times was fo portentous, that every patriotic principle more than ever infpired our generous youth with military ardour, he felt the impulfe, and entered the army. He was captain in the Coldftream Regiment of Foot-guards in the unfortunate expedition to the Helder; where his health fuffered fo much, that, on his return, his life was confidered to be for fome time in imminent danger. His youth and ftrength, however, then gained the afcendancy, and he was reftored to perfect health. Some time after he married an amiable and elegant woman (daughter of Col. Tho.
