His remains were depofited in the family vault at Twickenham. The importance of his character in the annals of this country precludes the neceility of expatiating on the eminent fervices that diftinguished his life. luftrious as a legiflator, he fuppreffed the rifing feeds of revolt in North Carolina, during the time of his administration in that pro ince. Calmed to peace under his mild and beneficent fway, the people reli quithed every other ambition than that of looking up with filial attachment to their friend and protector, whofe jurifprudence breathed as much of paternal tenderness, as of legiflative authority Called to the government of New York, a wider field of action opened to this accomplished stateiman, whofe fuperior powers of wisdom and philanthropy wore

unceasingly exerted for the real welfare of the colonifts. His princely munificence extended to the most inconfiderable of the peopie; and the heartfelt gratitude that pervaded, every branch of the community, will make the name of Tryon revered across the Atlartic while virtue and fenfibility remainIn private life the benevolence of his heart corresponded with the endowments of his mind, ditufing honour and happiness in an extenfive circle, and obtaining permanent advantages for thofe who, being in early youth elected to his patronage, now live to pour the tear of forrow over his honour'd duft.

Sir Athton Lever, knt. late poffetfor of the Mufeum in Leicester-fields. He was taken ill as he fat on the bench at Manchester on the 23d, and died in about 18 hours after.The lofs of Sir Ashton may be confidered as a lofs to the whole kingdom, as a naturalift, a gentleman, a fcholar, and a philanthropist. His vaft knowledge of the affemblage of created beings, as well as of the beauties, perfections, prodigies, and irregularities of nature; his politenefs and elegance, his talents and abilities, and, above all, his huma nity, render his death a truly national lofs.

31. At Rome, about half paft nine o'clock, Prince Charles Edward Lewis Cafimir Stuart. Since the death of his father, in the year 1765, he affumed the title of King of England. He was commonly known on the Continent by the name of the Chevalier de St. George, and in England by that of the Young Pretender. He was juft 67 years and 2 months old on the day of his death, being ber on the gath

of November, 1720. He was fon to JamesFrancis, Prince of Wales, fon to James II. who was faid to have been carried in a warming-pan into Queen Mary's bed-chamber, and afterwards impofed upon the nation as the fon of her Majefty and King James. This idle ftory, however, has long fince been configned to the nursery, or the affemblies of doating old women. The title of the reigning fucceffor to the crown is not founded upon the certainty or uncertainty of the birth of King James's fon, who, while he was in England with his father, was, to all intents and purpoíes, Prince of Wales. It ftands upon much better ground, an Act of Parliament, a fucceffion eftablished by the confent, and fupported by the affections, of the people. The fon of James II, was recognited by many Courts of Europe as King of England, immediately after the death of his father. As fuch, he received kingly honours; had his palace and his guards; and enjoyed the privilege allowed by the Pope to Catholic Kings, that of bestowing cardinals' hats. But his fon, Prince Charles, who lately died, did not enjoy thofe honours. He was, indeed, called Prince of Wates, during the life of his father: but, after that event, he would no longer bear that title, and the Catholic Courts wou'd not flyle him King; fo that his tuation was more agreeable before his father's death than it has ever been fince. His mother was the greateft fortune in Europe; the was the Princefs Maria-Clementina Sobietki, grand-daughter of the famous John Sobieski, King of Poland, who beat the Turks near Vie na and made them raife the fiege of that capital, and thus faved Chriftendom from deftruction. She had a million sterling to her fortune; a great part of which was loft on the frulefs attempt made by her fon, in 1745, to place his father on the throne of England. She had two fons by her husband: Charles, who lately died, and Henry-Benedist, who by his father was created Duke of York, and who, having been promoted to the purple, has been generally known by the name of Cardinal York. The elder fon Janried, fome years ago, a Princes of Stolberg, in Germany; but by her, who is ftill alive, he has no ifthe. He has left, however, a natural daughter, whom, by his pretended royal power, he Lately created Duchets of Albany, and to whom he has bequeathed all the property he had in the French funds, abic wa very confiderable. She is about 25 years of age, and much respected for her good nature, piety, and politenefs. To his Brother, the Cardinal, he has left his empty pretentions to the Crown of England. It is ought 14s Eminence will change his title, and allume that of the King-Cardinal. His Emmunce is a bachelor, and in his 6d year: At his decenfe, the King of Sudina will be He head of the funny of the Stuarts, as heir to King Charles I. fem wrote young it am, he is desconded;

At Flamburgh, in his 6th year, John Luis, efq. a much-refpected burgomafter there.

Lately, at Exeter, Rev. John Sicech, M.A. (fee our Poetry, p. 157). He was educated at Eton, and became a fcholar of King's College, Cambridge, in 1729, (Catal. Alumn,) He was collated to the archdeaconry of Cornwall on the death of Charles Allanfon, M.A. and, as it is believed, in 1741. In March 1746-7 he was elected a canon refidentiary of Exeter; and in Auguit 1769 prefented to the first prebend of Gloncefter, by his school-fellow, Lord Chancellor Camden. Auguit, 27, 1743, he preached, in Exeter Cathedral, the anniverary Sermon

for the foundation of the Devon and Exeter Hofpital. A fecond edition of it was foon publifhed. The parable of the Good Samaritan was the fubject of his difcourfe. His fon, the Rev. Charles S. died in December 1-85. See our vol. LVI. p. 82.--[Qu. Was not the Archdeacon the elder brother of Henry S. formerly under-matter of Eton School, and who died fellow of that college, March 13, 1734?

After a lingering illness, which the bore with the utmoit fortitude, refignation, and piety, Mrs. Johnton, of Rugby, co. Warwick. The fenfibility of her heart, and humanity of her difpofition, induced her to feel, in a peculiar manner, for the diftrefles of others; and the foundness of her judgement led her to beltow the moit feasonable advice. In private life, as an anectionate wife, tender mother, and fincere friend, her lofs will be fo verely regretted.

:

14. At Cheshunt, aged 58, Mr. Morris, many years master of an academy there.

18. In his 75th year, at his houfe in Bolt Court, Fleet Street, John Whitehurst, efq. F. R. S. This ingenious gentleman was born at Congleton in Cheshire, in April 1713, and, after fuch an education as boys intended for mechanic trades generally receive in a country town, was taken by his father to his own bufinefs, that of a clock-maker. At the expiration of his apprenticeship he made a fhort excursion to Ireland, with a view of improving himself by working in different fhops; but not finding that country in a state likely to encourage a man determined to apply with affiduity to become eminent in his bufinefs, he returned, and shortly after fet1'e at Derby, where, befides a most extenfive connection in his own particular bufinefs, that of a clock and watch maker, he foon became fo eminently distinguished as an univertal mechanic, as to be almoft generally confulted in every undertaking where ma chinery of any kind was neceflary, in the Counties of Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, &c. At length, from frequently travering thefe cotities in pursuit of these extra avocaMons, his active mad began to fuggeft to

him the utility of an enquiry into the caufe of thofe ftupendous alterations which the ftrata of the earth had, at fome period, me dergone in theíe neighbourhoods. This enquiry he first engaged in, partly as matter of aufement, and partly with the hope that continued obfervation might furnish facts of infinite we to the mineral interests of his vicinity. At length he was not disappointed. New and extraordinary facts fo rapidly occurred to him, that he began to put his obfervations on paper, as he found that his enquiries had already rendered him so far useful to fociety, as to be thought worthy of being confulted in a variety of mineral projects, in which, only a few years before, people would have madly engaged themselves without the leaft confideration of their theoretic probability. But his enlarged mind had yet another object in view. He thought that repeated obfervation of these wonderful phænomena, which every where furrounded him, might at length lead to a more rational explanation of the original ftate and formatian of this our globe, than any which had yet appeared. With this intention he continued affiduoufly collecting new facts and materials, with a hope of fome day furnishing, not altogether unworthy of the public eye, a work on this abftrufe and uncalcinated fubject. He was, bowever, diverted from pube lifhing, by being appointed, in 1775, to fuperintend a neceffary department under the bill for the regulation of the gold coin; and in confequence of this removed to London. Here a new field opened to his genius; he became courted and fought after by every man who wifhed to cultivate natural fcience in its most extenfive fenfe. Of this the number of eminent men, both foreign_and_domeftic, who cultivated his acquaintance, will be the best testimony-if more needful, the number of noblenen, gentlemen, or public bodies, who were ever folichting his affiftance in their mechanic, hydraulic, or ventilating improvements will leave no doubt. In 1778 he published his book, the fruits of fo many years actual obfervation, on the Derbyshire ftrata; was foon after elected F. R.S. and from that period, becoming more generally known, he became more generally fought, fo that it may with truth be afferted that there was hardly au ingenious man, or an useful improvement in mech, nicks, with whom he was not perfonally acquainted, or on which he was not perionally confulted. In 1786 he published a fecond edition of his work, with many new facts, tending to establish his former theory; and in 1787 publifhed his Affay on Univerfal Meature, deduced from actual experiments, in which he has left the best postible information to enquirers after his moral character; by liberally acknowledging that the first hint of the machine, which he had at length brought to perfection, was derived from another perfon, in a paper addreifed to the Society of Arts and Sciences. He is faid to
