Introduction to Arithmetic; being the first part of a General Course of Mathematics. 1810. A Treatise of Algebra, 2 vols. At his house, Gloucester-place, New Road, 56, Major Charles James, a native of Warwickshire, well known as a writer on military topics, and as an elegant poet. He served originally in one of the regiments of the Yorkshire Militia, but being related to, or respected by, some noble families, he left that regiment and settled in London. His first work was an Opera, translated from Beaumarchois, 1787; Poems, in 2 vols, 1789; Hints, founded on facts, respecting our Military Establishments, 8vo, 1791; Suicide Rejected, a Poem; Poems 8vo, 1791. All these works evince a fine imagination, and his political epigrams have long been celebrated for their wit. Few men ever evinced more activity in all the transactions of life; and in his profession his various works prove that he had not been an inattentive spectator. In 1794 he published a work on the abuses in the militia, with a plan for its better regulation; and in 1797, he brought out another work on the abuses in the militia, and he lived to see most of his plans adopted at the War-office. The Regimental Companion came out in 1789; but his chief military work, and one of the best in the language, was his Military Dictionary, published in 1802, and of which he lived to: revise a fourth edition. Major James was an ardent lover of civil liberty, and was much elated with the prospects which opened to the world at the beginning of the revolution in France. In 1792 he published Audi Alteram Partem, or an Extenuation of the Conduct of the French Patriots. His gentlemanly manners procured him many friends among the higher orders of society. By the Earl of Moira he was particularly patronized, and he acted for some time as his confidential secretary; and when that excellent nobleman was. at the head of the Ordnance, he ap pointed Captain James to be major of the Artillery Drivers, a situation which he did not hold long after his patron retired, and from which he retired on a remuneration. On the appointment of his lordship to be Governor General, it is believed that Major James might have chosen his own station, but he would not sacrifice his health, the society of London, and his domestic comforts, to prospects of wealth and vain.ambition, and, to the great surprise of his As a friends, he remained in England. lyric poet and epigramatist, he was above mediocrity. Some of his songs are the best in the language, and his epigrams have for many years gratified the readers of the Morning Chronicle, and sometimes of this Miscellany. His collected poems exhibit specimens of his varied powers of versification, but his strength will be found in his songs and epigrams. He was one of the most liberal hearted of men; his musehis time and his purse were at the service of persons in distress, to whom he always listened with a tear starting in his eye. Yet he was also a man of the world, and with some mental reserve, mixed in the circles of high life. Altogether he was beloved by every one who knew him, and the notice of his death in the newspapers gave acute pain to his friends, because his vigour and activity warranted the expectation of greater length of life. He has left a widow and four sons, youths of considerable promise. At Belle Vue, near Southampton, Sir R. R. Bligh. He was born in Cornwall, in 1737, of a family long connected with the navy, and had the good fortune to have Lord Rodney, then a captain, to be his godfather. Under his auspices he entered the sea-service, but did not attain the rank of post captain until 1777. In 1794, he commanded the Alexander, in which ship he was taken by a French squadron of five seventy-four gun ships and three large frigates, but did not strike his colours until he had evinced a spirit and resolution never perhaps surpassed in our naval annals. He was promoted in his turn to be rear and vice-admiral, and to be admiral; in April, 1804, he was named Admiral of the Red. When the King encreased the number of Knights of the Bath, he was named a Grand Cross. At the time of his decease he was the eighth on the list of flag officers. After he had resigned the command of the Leith station, in 1804, he retired, and died at the age of 84. He was twice married, but has left only a son, Capt. G. M. Bligh, R.N. At her house in Flintshire, aged 79, Mrs. Esther Lynch Piozzi. This lady was the daughter of John Salisbury, Esq. of Bodvil, in Caernarvonshire, born about the year 1748, and in 1768 married to Henry Thrale, Esq. an eminent brewer of Southwark, and M.P. for that borough. That gentleman dying in 1781, Mrs. Thrale had many suitors, but in 1784. she gave her hand to an Italian music master, named Gabriel Piozzi. With bim she visited the continent, and resided some time at Florence. The cele brated Dr. Johnson had been patronised by her first husband, and is said to have aspired to succeed him. The choice she made of the Italian gave the doctor great offence. On his death she published Jetters and anecdotes of that singular charac ter, ter, which did not add much either to his character or hers. Johnson's friends were irritated, and Baretti was very severe in his animadversions on her conduct. Boswell replied to her, and Peter Pindar, as he called himself, or Dr. Wolcot, in a lively poem, called Bozzy and Pozzi, vented his phillipics on them both. She had written several pieces, and Mrs. Ann Williams, in a volume of Miscellanies that appeared in 1765, published a very beautiful tale, written by Mrs. Piozzi when young. Her other works are Anecdotes of Dr. Johnson during the last twenty years of his life. 1781. Letters to and from Dr. Johnson. 1786. Observations and Reflections made in the course of a Journey through France, Italy, and Germany, 2 vols. 1794. Retrospection; or, a View of the most Striking Events, Characters, &c. for the last 1800 years, 2 vols. 1801.. British-Synonymy; or, an Attempt to Regulate the Choice of Words in Familiar Conversation, 2 vols. 8vo. 1794. Mrs. P. had a poetical vein, and several of her poems are preserved in periodical publications. Her Anecdotes of Dr. Johnson åre frequently trifling. Her observations on her Tour in Italy, &c. are just what might be expected from so lively a lady. Her Synonymy does not exhibit profound grammatical knowledge, or much critical acumen, and the flippant style and superficial views of her Retrospection, do not entitle her to the elevated rank of an historian. At the same time she must be considered as a woman of superior character and endowments, and possessed of much originality of character. At Chelsea, Thomas Keate, esq., who was bred a surgeon, and was for some time in the guards. He had the good fortune to be appointed surgeon to the Prince of Wales on the first establishment of his household, and became a great favourite. This introduced him to other branches of the royal family, and he was appointed surgeon to the Queen, the Duke of York, &c. and was on a vacancy appointed surgeon general to the army. He has always ranked high in his profession, but has only published "Cases of the Hydrocele, with Observations on the Method of treating that Disease," 8vo. 1783. He was as surgeon general, or rather as one of the medical board, brought into some disputes with the medical officers of the army, and he thought it proper to publish "Observations on the Fifth Report of the Commissioners of Military Inquiry," 8vo. 1808, and next year, "Observations on the Proceedings and the Report of the Medical Board appointed to examine the state of the Army Department in the Isle of Wight." Mr. Keate was married, and has left some daughters. At his house, near East Retford, suddenly, on the 6th April, Lieutenant General Churles Crawford. He was the son of Sir Alexander Crawford, bart. and, with his brother, the late general Robert Crawford, while subalterns in the army, published in 1787 and 1788, a translation of "Tielke's Memoirs of the seven years war," and "a Treatise on several branches of the Military Art." In 1800 having attained the rank of colonel in the army, he had the good fortune to gain the hand of the Duchess Dowager of Newcastle, sister of the Earl of Harrington, and by the interest of these families, he was ap. pointed military commissioner to the army of the royal confederates, under the Archduke Charles, who then commanded the Austrian army acting against the cause of liberty in France. Here he received a severe wound in the head, after writing various gasgonading dispatches, and was obliged to resign his post to his brother Robert. By the Newcastle interest he was promoted to the command of the second regiment of dragoon guards, and was by the same interest chosen representative for the town of East Retford. In Margaret-street, 53, Henry Edridge, esq. R.A.F.S.A. This excellent artist was born at Paddington, in 1768; having very early shewn an attachment to the fine arts, his mother was induced by the advice of her friends, to place him, at the age of 14, with Mr. Pether, an artist, well known as a mezzotinto engraver and painter of landscape. Two years after his apprenticeship, he was admitted a student in the Royal Academy, where he soon distinguished himself, and in 1786 obtained a medal for the best drawing of an academy figure. Mr. Edridge's earliest works were miniatures on ivory; afterwards he made his portraits on paper, with black lead and Indian Ink; to these he added back grounds, which were beautifully diversified, and drawn with great taste; after continuing this practice several years, he discontinued Indian ink, and adopted water colours, still finishing his drawings slightly, except the heads, which were always remarkable for their force, brilliancy and truth. It was of late years only that he made those elaborately high-finished pictures on paper, uniting the depth and richness of oil paintings with the freedom and freshness of water colours, and of which there is perhaps scarcely a nobleman's family in England without some specimen. Mr. Edridge had always an exquisite taste for the picturesque beauties of landscape, but the extent of his practice in drawing portraits, prevented the devotion of much time to this his favourite pursuit, until after the death of his son, when having no longer a motive for adhering to the lucrative part of his profession, he indulged his inclination, and the drawings which he afterwards made from various scenes of nature, are most admirable. In 1817, and again in 1819, he visited France, where he found ample materials for the exercise of his taste, in the picturesque buildings of Paris, and still more interesting scenery of Normandy; the drawings made from these sketches, which were exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1820, as well as those of the present year, leave us to regret that this branch of art had not, at least, shared a greater portion of his earlier time. He was elected an associate of the Royal Academy of Arts in November, 1820, and no better or more grateful tribute could be paid, either. to his talents as an artist or his worth as a man, than the feeling and appropriate eulogy pronounced to his memory by the president, at the annual academy dinner, which took place immediately after his death.

In a few years more, unless prevented, the houses at the southern extremity of the town, will be undermined. Public attention is also called to the state of Sunderland moor, represented as a public nuisance, and which might be rendered a delightful promenade. The Durham Chronicle asserts, that at the commencement and middle of the proceedings against the Queen, Earl Grey was twice offered the direction of Government, on condition that he would carry on the prosecution. No offers could induce him to consent to the sacrifice of an unprotected female. Married.] At Berwick, W. W. Hay, esq. to Miss J.Gregson, of Blackburn.-In London, F.

A memorial, signed by more than athou. sand merchants, has been transmitted from Liverpool to the Lords of the Treasury, petitioning against the plan of building insulated warehouses, with exclusive privileges to supersede the stores now erected, which it is alledged, would be unable to subsist under the competition, and would be gradually abandoned. The plan was recommended by the commissioners of enquiry into the customs and excise. The Earl Moira packet left Liverpool Aug. 8. In attempting to tack, the vessel struck on Burboo Bauk. After considerable toil, she was got into deep water, but grounded a second time on the Wharf Bank, and leaked. The vessel soon filled, and the pump was plied, but with no effect. The The waves brought the vessel on her broadside. All who were able got on the shrouds, and clung (men, women, and children) till from exhaustion they began to drop, and were overwhelmed. One wave carried off from ten to fifteen at once. The captain was among the first who perished, The Hoylake life-boat saved about thirty, many in a dying state.
