jady whofe death we now record was not unmarked in her character by fome eccentricity; but it was of the most harm lefs nature, and always turned on the humane and benevolent part of her difpofition. Her munificence was immenfe, fhe having been known to give what the called her four years favings (20,000l.) away at one time to a diftant connexion. Her charities were very extenfive; and, upon the whole, her lofs will be long felt in the little circle in which he moved. Her funeral, attended by a numerous and refpe&table tenantry, proceeded from Stonleigh abbey to the place of interiment in the family-vault at Stonleigh church, on the 14th inftant, when an appropriate fermon was delivered on the occafion by the Rev. Mr. Thomas, vicar of the parish. She had always requefied that the might be buried in the fame cloaths the fhould have on at the time he died. This request, of courfe, has been rigidly attended to, and he was buried in a hoop (which he was at all times accustomed to wear), a very handfome filk gown, a beautiful cap, which has on it a profufion of remarkably rich lace, and other articles of drefs of confiderable value. This lady, eminently diftinguifhed for her piety and , extenfive charities, was the laft of that branch of the Leigh family which defcended from the fecond fon of Sir Thomas Leigh, lord mayor of London at the acceffion of Queen Elizabeth. She has, by her laft will (made in 1736, after the death of her brother, Edward, the laft Lord Leigh), fettled all her eftates upon that branch of the family which defcended from Rowland, eldeft fon of Sir Thomas Leigh, in the following order: firft, on the Rev. J. Leigh, of Addleftrop, co. Gloucefter; fecondly, on James-Leigh .. Perrot, eiq. of Scarlets, co. Berks; thirdly, on James-Henry Leigh, efq. of AddleArop, and his male-iffue; in failure of fuch iffue, on Thomas-Charles Lord Vifcount Tracey, Dr. John Tracey, and Henry Tracey, efq. in tail-male fucceffively; and, in failure of their iffue-male, on Sir Juftinian Ifham, bart. and his if fue-male; and, in failure thereof, on his male heir for ever.

3. At Hampftead, Francis-Henry Wingfield, the infant fon of Lady Charlotte W. 4. At Foreft houfe, Leyton, Effex, in his 63d year, Samuel Bofanquet, efq. In hi the Publick will regret an active, an independent, and an honeft man; his private friends, an amiable companion in profperity, a ready affiftant in adverfity, and a difcreet but gentle monitor in both. His family will inconfolably deplore the lofs of his tenderness, his advice, and his example. His whole time and talents were devoted to the service of others. Though never

engaged in bufinefs upon his own account, he made the commercial interefts of his Country his particular fudy from a very early age. To the trade of the Le vant Company, of which he was deputy governor, he devoted a large portion of his time. To the concerns of the Bank of England, of which he was for many years a director, his attention was unremitting; and his opinion upon commercial fubjets was frequently reforted to by thofe who held the highest fituations in the State. The duties of a magiftrate in the country he difcharged with the fame activity, and the fame advantage to his neighbourhood. His charity was not confined to giving alms. Though his pecuniary bounties were ample in propor tion to his fortune, he never refufed to contribute his time and his exertions. It was his pleafure to reconcile those who were at-variance-to be the ffiend of the forlorn. Many fought his counfel, for his judgment was found. His manners were amiable and courteous; candour was the great characteristick of his mind. He thought humbly of himself, and he feldom cenfured others. In the relations of domeftic life he was indulgent, generous, mild, affectionate. He loved order... He was regular in his habits; temperate in all things; and the moderation of his perfonal expences enabled him not only to fupply the wants, but to adminifter to the pleafures, of thofe around him. These virtues and difpofitions were the fruits of a mind long difciplined in the fchool of Chriftianity. He was religious without fanaticifm. He could give a reafon for his own faith, which was that of the Church of England; but he never cenfured the faith of others. He made no parade of religion; but it entered into all his concerns. It enabled him, while on earth, to preferve his ferenity, both in fuccefs and difappointment, for it was equally his guide in the one, and his comfort in the other; and he died in the full perfuafion that it opened to him the only door to the everlasting glories of Heaven.

5. At Elgin, in Scotland, Alexander Brodie, M. D.

At Newcastle, aged 95, the Rev. Hugh Moifes, M. A. head-mafter of the grammar-fchool there; in which fituation he contributed not a little to the formation of fome of the first characters of the country, Lord Eldon, Lord Collingwood, Sir William Scott, &c. &c.

At his houfe in George-ftreet, Pórt man-fquare, Arthur-Richard Dillon, Archbifhop and Duke of Narbonne, Primate of the Gauls, Prefident of the States of Languedoc, and Commander of the Order of the Holy Ghoft. This venerable Pre

[ocr errors]

late, who was eminently distinguished for his knowledge, talents, and eloquence, was the youngest brother of Henry the eleventh Lord Viscount Dillon, of Ireland, and fon of the Hon. Arthur Dillon (third fon of Theobald feventh Vifcount Dillon), a marshal-de-camp and lieutenant-general in the French fervice. He was born at St. Germain-en-Laye, 1721; ordained Bishop of Evreux, O&. 28, 1753; Archbishop of Thouloufe, 1758; Archbifhop of Narbonne, 1762; and Commander of the Order of the Holy Ghof, 1770. When the Revolution took place in France, which was a total fubversion of every principle that all good men hold dear and facred, he retired to this country, where he has fince conftantly refided, preferring the facrifice of his high rank and fituation, to a dereliction of thofe principles of duty and honour which uniformly guided his condu& through a long and meritorious life. At half after 9 in the morning of the 11th, all that remains in England of the antient Royal Family and Nobility of France began to affemble at the French Catholic chapel in Little George-ftreet, King-ftreet, Portman-fquare, to do honour to his obfequies. The chapel had a truly folemn and dignified appearance; and an additional degree of refpect was excited by the appearance of the many illuftrious perfonages who have taken up their refidence in this country in confequence of the revolution of affairs in France. The deceafed was related to fome of the moft diftinguished perfons under the antient Government of France; he was alfo nearly a-kin to a noble family in this country; and, befides this, was a perfon of confidefable rank as a man of letters. Confequently, every profeffor of the Catholic faith, every friend to the late Establishment of France, and feveral diftinguished literary characters, were prefent. The chapel was hung with black, decorated with lozenges and efcocheons of the deceafed's arms. M. M. Colbert, Bishop of Rhodes, performed the fervice, in his full pontificals, in the prefence of all the other emigrant French Bishops now in London, and a great number of the moft diftinguished of the French Nobility, with the croffes and ribbons of the different orders to which they belong. After the ufual prayers and anthems, the body was removed in a hearte and fix, followed by four mourning-coaches, Lord Dillon's, Lord Trimbleftown's, and a private gentleman's carriage, to St. Pancras church-yard, where prayers were again read by the BiShop of Rhodes. In the carriages were feveral Bishops and other Ecclefiafticks, as well as his relations and friends.

He married Elizabeth daughter and fole heirefs of John Salusbury, efq. of Brynybarcutt, co. Denbigh; by whom he had two fons and two daughters; the eldest a captain 'in the 58th Foot, now in Sicily; the youngest, a youth of great promife, who was a lieutenant in the fame regiment, fell, in his 18th year, in Egypt, on the ever-memorable 21ft of March, 1801, when the brave Abercrombie received his deathwound. apt.J. was entered in the Navy at a very early age, and for a long feries of years faithfully ferved his King and Country. He was Lord Anfon's firft lieutenant in the Royal George, and acquitted himself with great credit, and the acknowledged fatisfaction of his Noble Commander, who expreffed much pleasure in the opportunity of ferving him. Ile commanded his Majefty's fhip Lenox, of 74 guns, at the taking of the Manillas, where he was entrusted with the care of the difembarkation; and, to ufe the words of the Gazette upon that occafion, “did every thing that could be expected from a diligent good officer." He loft a confiderable fhare of prize money by a peace being concluded before the account of the capture arrived; and Government not elpoufing the cause of the captors. He was alfo unfortunate in being, with a long lift of brave officers, cruelly deprived of his rank by the unprecedented promotion of the late Lord Howe, and put upon a fuperannuated lift created by his Lordfhip for unrewarded valour. He was a man of the ftriéteft honour and integrity; a cool, active, intrepid officer; and confcientiously discharged the duties of hufband, parent, and friend. He was remarkably temperate, having been often heard to declare that he never was intoxicated but once in his life; and, what may appear as remarkable to those who were not acquainted with his excellent temper, he was never heard to wear or utter an oath, and that he feverely punished thofe heinous fins on-board his fhip.
