At Twickenham, 105, Mrs. Mary Brittal.

At Holloway, 48, Mr. John Thurston, one of the most ingenious and tasteful designers of his age, and a man whose modesty retarded his distinction in society. He was a native of Scarborough, but has for many years resided in the vicinity of London, and has been much celebrated for the beauty of his designs in various elegant publications, though his retired habits caused him to be personally unknown beyond the circle of his family and a few friends. A delicate form of body and intense application to his profession, combined to shorten his life, and deprive an orphan family of his further protection and support.

In a fit of apoplexy, at his house in James-street, Westminster, Rear Admiral James Burney, the son of the late justly celebrated Charles Burney, Mus. Doct. author of the elegant History of Music, and several other works. James Burney. was his eldest son, and sent early into the navy, and perhaps no man ever paid more attention to his duty or succeeded better, both as a practical and theoretical seaman. He was sent out twice with that excellent seaman Capt. Cook; first as a midshipman, and on his return was promoted to be a lieutenant. He sailed with that much lamented officer as lieutenant, and contributed much to the success of his perilous and important voyage. By the death of the two commanders, Cook and Clerke, he returned in command of the smallest ship, the Discovery. On his return he was confirmed in the rank of master and commander, and soon after promoted to that of post captain. In that capacity he was sent in command of the Bristol man of war, to India, and was present in most of the ac

tions so gallantly fought in those seas by Admiral Sir Edward Hughes. He returned to England on account of ill health, and a peace soon after taking place,he was unemployed for many years. As an officer, he was remarkable for his humanity to those under his command, at a time when severity in discipline, was considered as part of an officer's duty. This humanity was united with strict integrity and a love of truth. When the war was commenced against France, he did not apply for a command, at least not until the latter end of the war, and when his turn came, as a senior captain to look for a flag, he was, to his great mortification, put on the list of superannuated captains. His active mind and scientific knowledge did not permit him to be idle; for he was one of the best geographers of this country. With the advice of Sir Joseph Banks, he compiled a most laborious and accurate account of the Voyages of Discovery to the South Sea, the Southern Hemisphere, and Round the World, from the earliest period to the Voyages of Capt. Cook. They are compiled in five large 4to volumes. He has also published an account of the Eastern Discoveries of the Russians, a History of the Buccaniers, and various smaller works. Discontented with being only on half-pay, as a superannuated commander, he applied to the Duke of Cla◄ rence, and by a just representation of his case, his Royal Highness exerted himself, and got him promoted to the rank of rear admiral on half-pay, but which gratification he did not long enjoy. His widow, however, will reap the benefit of it. He married a daughter of the late Mr. Paine, the bookseller, by whom he has children. Capt. Burney will be long remembered by an extensive circle of friends, who esteemed him for his disinterestedness and integrity, for the simplicity and kindness of his manders, and his cheerful disposition; for his good humour in conversation, and above all for his profound erudition and services to nautical literature. He was brother to the late Rev. Charles Burney, who so many years and with so much credit, kept the academy at Greenwich, and to the justly celebrated novelist, Madame D'Arblay. The following passage in a letter written by Dr. Johnson to Mrs. Thrale, upon Captain Burney's promotion and appointment to the Bristol 50-gun ship, in 1781, shows how great an interest the naval officer had excited in the breast of the learned moralist:-" I am willing, however to hear that there is happiness in the world, and delight to think on the pleasure diffused among the Burneys. I question if any ship upon the ocean goes out attended with more good wishes than that which carries the fate of Burney."

At Edinburgh, 67, Mr. Charles Murray, late of Covent Garden Theatre. He was

the son of Sir John Murray, bart. of Broughton, secretary to Charles Edward the Pretender, in the rebellion of 1745, who retired to Cheshunt. Charles, under the immediate guardianship of his father, received an excellent classical education, and was sent to France to perfect himself in the language of that country-a language which he spoke with correctness and fluency. Being designed by his friends for the medical profession, he was placed as a pupil, and having obtained a competent knowledge of pharmacy and surgery, entered into the sea service as a surgeon, in which capacity he made several voyages. Being tired of this service, he formed an engagement with Mr. Tate Wilkinson, and made his first appearance on the stage at York, in 1775, in the character of Carlos, in the Fop's Fortune, under the assumed name of Mr. Raymer. Thence he went to Norwich, and afterwards to Bath. At the death of the late Mr. Farren, he entered into an engagement with Mr. Harris, at Covent Garden Theatre, where he appeared in 1797, in the part of Shylock, in the Merchant of Venice. In characters of sensibility and deep pathos Mr. Murray was unrivalled; and in such parts as Old Norval, Lusignan, and Adam, never look upon his like again." Mr. Murray has left a son and a daughter in the profession. The latter (Mrs. Henry Siddons) is highly distinguished as an actress both in tragedy and in genteel comedy, and is the present proprietor of the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh. Her brother, Mr. William Murray, the acting manager of the same respectable theatre, is also a great favourite in that metropolis.

In Broad-street Buildings, 39, Mrs.. Aikin, wife of Mr. C. R. A. an eminent surgeon, and eldest daughter of the late lamented Gilbert Wakefield. The following tribute to her eminent worth was introduced in the conclusion of a funeral sermon, preached the Sunday subsequent to her interment, by the Rev. S. W. Browne, B.A. in Monkwell-street Chapel :-"How naturally do these reflections arise from the mournful solemnities lately performed in honour of a Christian wife and mother, whose loss is most acutely felt by her fa mily, her friends, and by this society, with which she united in the duties of public worship; a society proud of the honour she reflected on it, both by the accomplishments of her mind and the unspotted brighness of her virtue. Alas! what a task is mine to lament so much excellence, and though deprived of it for ever, to exhort you to sustain the intensity of your sorrow. In her, greatness of soul was hereditary. Descended from a father of a most highwrought character, she was early disciplined to an acquaintance with moral grandeur: she saw the loftiness of genius

and

and the inflexibility of disinterested pa. triotism, enlisted in the cause of religion and liberty; nor did she see it unmoved. The sufferings of her father in his ardour for the amelioration of the world, were deeply engraven in her memory, and caused her heart to glow with a noble enthusiasm for all that advances human uature in its progress towards perfection; or sustains it on the towering heights which it sometimes ascends. The instructions she received from the transcendant erudition and classic elegance, which rendered the author of her days so pre-eminently capable of appreciating whatever ancient genius offers of beautiful or sublime, inspired her with the purest and most tasteful admiration of the excellent; and though, by a modesty most rare, this was never ostentatiously displayed, no judgments did she pronounce but struck her audítors with a sense of her superiority in the delicate estimates she made, both of sentiment and character. Though the reflection of having lost her for ever from our earthly tabernacles, wrings the heart with anguish, it was our happy lot to witness her assiduous attendance on the sacred duties of the temple, where the soul is supported in all that adorns and dignifies our nature, by the communion we here hold with Heaven, and by the august character of the morality diffused around from the fountain of light, emanating from the divine mind; which vivifies those seeds of virtue sown in our early days, and renders them imperishable. How endearing, how refreshing to the heart when sickened by the indifference of the world to its best interests, to behold the Christian mother, surrounded by her offspring in those solemn moments, when the cares and anxieties of life are suspended, and the whole soul is absorbed in the contemplation of God and duty! Thus, by her example and her aid, did she foster in her children the nobler qualities of the heart, while their minds were imbued with the most valuable truths. O loss ir

reparable to that darling offspring, the objects of so many pious and anxious cares! In her private connexions, her attachment to the kindred minds she cherished with her affection, was most endearing; and disclosed the value of the principles she had imbibed, and the warmth which glowed in her breast. These unions were founded on a love of the good, and must ever be remembered with exultation; but her family alone, her amiable husband,

and the circle she honoured and made happy with her friendship, can alone speak all her worth-can alone paint in all their brightness, that truth, simplicity, and sympathising heart, which she inherited from one of the most noble-minded of nea.

MEMOIRS OF MR. ROBERT SALMON.

The useful arts, as depending for their.

Mr.

improvement on experimental investigations, and ingenious applications of scientific principles, have rarely sustained a greater loss than in the subject of this Memoir. Salmon was born at Stratford-upon-Avon, in Warwickshire, in 1763, and was the youngest son of the six or seven children of Mr. William Salmon, a carpenter and builder. After a very slender education, Robert S. was placed out, at a very early age, with Mr. Grey, an attorney, residing near Leicester-fields; where, becoming a favourite of his master, leisure, and the means were afforded him, of supplying, by industrious application to books, the previous deficiencies of his education,

One of bis earliest attempts to gain other information, was that of taking his watch to pieces, laying every particle separate, and putting them together again. Music next attracted his attentiou. learn notes-first made a fife-then a fluteHe procured books to and lastly a violin, on each of which he played above mediocrity.

appointed, by the late Mr. Henry Holland, the A few years afterwards, his father being architect, to the superintendence of a large house which he had to build in Hampshire, the subject of this Memoir was taken with him; and, during the progress of this job, was carefully instructed, first in the practical operations of the carpenter's shop, then, successively, in drawing, measuring, keeping building accounts, and the several other requisites, for a clerk of the works under an architect: in which studies, Mr. R. Salmon's progress and proficiency was such, that soon after the death of his father, which happened nearly about the time of completing the work under his care, Mr. Holland appointed Mr. Salmon as one of his clerks of the works, in the rebuilding of Carlton House, on which he, was then engaged.

A few years aftewards, when Mr. Holland had begun on the great improvements at Woburn Abbey, Mr. Salmon was, about the year 1790, removed thither, as his clerk of the works; in which situation, the discerning eye of the great Duke of Bedford soon became fixed on Mr. S. as an able and vigilant servant, in whose skill and application he could place confidence, for maturing and carrying into effect those magnificent schemes of improvement which had originated in his own great mind, and from whose correct taste much of their details had been supplied in outline.

When the chief works under Mr. Holland were drawing to a close, his Grace made with him an arrangement, by which Mr. the permanent establishment of his Grace at Salmon was, about the year 1794, taken into Woburn, as his resident architect and mechumist; in which latter capacity, Mr. Salmon had then already distinguished himself, by contriving and introducing several highly ingenious applications of mechanical knowledge, in the works and business under his

care.

About this time, Mr. Holland had brought
