10. Mr. Campbell, surgeon and apothecary, of Coventry-street. As he was proceeding to Ramsgate, on-board of a hoy, for the benefit of the sea-air, being much fatigued, he ay down, wrapped in his great coat, on the deck of the vessel, and fell fast asleep. In consequence of adverse wind, the hoy could not make the Pier, but was beating off till it blew fair; when the vessel tacking up, she went gunwale to, and Mr. C. was unfortunately precipitated into the sea. Notwithstand ing the extreme shock, he kept afloat for upwards of a quarter of an hour, when the boat was put out, and he was brought on deck, but the vital spark was extinct; and though two professional men were on board, they tried in vain to produce re-animation.

At righton, aged 72, James Mitchell, esq. of Limehouse.

11. At Lee, Kent, aged 74, Sir Francis Barmg, bart. one of the Directors of the East India Company, and formerly M. P. for Taunton. He was of a Devonshire family; came to London early in life, and studied mercantile affairs, if we mistake not, in the house of Boehm. His talents were of a very superior cast, and highly improved by reading. Few men understood the real interests of trade better; and it may surely be added, few men ever arrived at the highest rank and honour of commercial life with more unsullied integrity. At his death, he was unquestionably the first merchant in Europe; first in knowledge and talents, and first in character and opulence. His name was known and respected in every commercial quarter of the globe; and by the East India Company, and other public trading bodies, he was consulted as a man of consuminate knowledge and inflexible honour. Throughout his long and respectable life, he acted on those steady principles which seldom fail to raise men to opulence and credit, although they may not always enable them to shine with such superior lustre. One obstruction Sir Francis Baring had to contend with from his earliest days-an incurable deafness. By the usual helps, however, he contrived that this should very little impede his communications; and both in Parliament, and as chairman of the East India Company, his opinion was so highly valued that every paims was taken to prevent the subject in debate from suffering by his infirmity. His private, as well as public life, if faithfully delineated, would form a most instrustive lesson to the mercantile world; and a les son particularly necessary at a time when so many seem to forget or despise the genuine attributes of an English merchant, and aspire at sudden and unsubstantial wealth and credit, by the paltry speculations of mere fraud and low cunning. On

the contrary, the soundest principles and truest policy laid the foundation of Sir Francis Baring's fortune and character, and guided him in all his transactions. In future annals, he will rank with the illustrious names of Gresham, Firmin, and Barnard, men who have formed the English character, and to whom English commerce is indebted for its superiority.He was physically exhausted; but his mind remained unsubdued by age or infirmity to the last breath. His bed was surrounded by nine out of ten, the number of his sons and daughters, all of whom he assisted to establish in splendid independence. Three of his sons carry on the commercial house; and the other two are returned from India with fortunes. To his five daughters, who are all married, he gave most liberal dowries; and, in addition to all this, it is supposed he has left freehold estates to the amount of half a million. He was the personal holder, it is said, of upwards of two millions of the first Omnium. Such has been the result of the honourable life of this English merchant!, The remains of Sir Francis were deposited on the 20th, in the family-vault in Mitcheldever church, near Strattonpark; on which occasion, the whole of his tenantry had mourning given them.

13. At Mongeham parsonage, in the 82d. year of his age, after little more than an hour's indisposition, the Rev. Henry Dimock, of Pembroke-college, Oxford, M. A. 1751; rector of St. Edmund the King, and St. Nicholas Acons, London, and of Blackmanstone, in the county of Kent; and one of Mr. Urban's valuable correspondents. Of this good man, at the close of a long life spent in the practice of every duty, professional, social, and domestic, it may be truly said, he fell asleep. The depth and soundness of his learning, the strict orthodoxy of his belief, and the primitive simplicity and integrity of his manners, might have entitled him to the highest offices in the Church but, in this world, reward does not always accompany desert. In the Father's house are many mansions. His will be bright and splendid, as were his talents and his virtues; firm and immoveable, as were his perseverance and his faith.

22. At Deal, in Kent, aged 87, John Carter, esq. the oldest Magistrate (perhaps with the exception of Lord Frederick Campbell) of the county. He was brother of the celebrated Mrs. Elizabeth Carter, the Poetess, and learned translator of Epictetus, who died Feb. 19, 1806, aged 89. He was born about December 1725, the eldest son of Dr. Nicholas Carter, minister of Deal, and rector of Woodchurch, and of Ham, in the same county (a native of Buckinghamshire), who died at Deal in 1774, aged 87, by Margaret, daughter and heiress of Richard Swave, esq. esq. of Bere, in Dorsetshire, he a daugh ter of Thomas Trenchard, esq of Wolverton and Lychet-Maltravers, in the same county. Mr. Carter, after having been educated at Cambridge, went into the army, and had a company in the 9th regiment of foot (if we mistake not) about 65 years ago. At this period his active and intelligent mind made him much consulted and employed, particularly on the Kentish coast, when the Rebellion of 1745 created serious fears of an invasion. Some years afterwards he married a lady of good fortune at Deal, to whom some of his sister's poems are addressed; and retired to the excellent house which formed a portion of her property in his native town, there passed the remainder of his life, and breathed his last. Soon after, he was put into the commission of the peace for the county, and discharged the duties of it for a long period of years with eminent superiority, so as to entitle him to the elevation to the Chair of the East Kent Sessions, which he filled for some time with great credit. He was a man of very lively and acute natural parts, very highly cultivated; an exact and elegant classical scholar; an excellent linguist; and a man of extensive and general reading; in all which various departments he continued to exercise his admirable faculties to the last, his final illness not having attacked him for more than ten days before his death. Till that period he enjoyed all the powers of his body and mind with little apparent decay; his memory and vivacity were in strong force; he moved with agility, and the marks of age had made little impression on his person; he worked in his garden; he read with eagerness; he talked with his usual clearness and fluency; and he abated in none of the attentive politeness of the old Court. He joined in all social circles; lived cheerfully and hospitably; and betrayed nothing of the peevishness of an Octogenarian. His person was that of an hale man, of little more than sixty. He had seen much of life; knew its follies, and turned not with stern repulsiveness from an acquaintance or compliance with its humours. In short, he had all the polish and all the agreeable knowledge of a man of the world, added to that of a ready and perfect scholar. In his literary taste, he was what some would deem too antique; and many would deem too severe. Of the antients, among

his prime favourites, was Horace; and of the moderns, Pope. He seemed to prefer wit and acute sense, to sentiment and fancy. His politicks were those of Whiggism, perhaps a little extended with the times. He feared despotism rather than anarchy; and corruption rather than licentiousness. He saw the two extremes of danger, between which modern governments were vibrating; and leaned to the side of the people. The stores of his understanding were so abundant, and in such constant exercise, that it was difficult to contend with him; and his very years, which had all the venerability, without any of the weakness of age, added the imposing advantage of high respect and awe. Rank never dazzled bim; office and power he treated with indifference; and. all the habits of his life were guided by a calm and manly independence. He was a master of the Law (various and complex as it is), which concerns the duties of a Country Magistrate, and wielded all its technicalities with astonishing readiness and skill. On these subjects he was firm, and sometimes, perhaps, a little tenacious in his opinions; but it was very rarely that he could be detected in an error. His pen was continually in his hand; and in the course of a long life, he was the author of several Pamphlets and Political Letters of a temporary nature, which have probably perished with the occasion. He has left a widow (his third wife) Anne, dau. of the late Mr.Jas. Powell, of Wingham, and three daughters; of whom the eldest married James Williamson, esq. late Major of the 70th regiment; the other two are single. He was a most affectionate husband; and a most fond and attentive father; dedicating much of his time to the instruction and accomplishment of his children; and applying his care and his fortune to their gratification. In his death, both they and his widow will experience an irreparable loss. He has left one surviving half-brother, the Rev. Henry Carter, of Wittenham, in Berkshire, whe has several children; of whom, two sons are post captains in the Navy. He has also left two nephews by a sister; the Rev. Thomas Pennington, rector of Thorley, Herts; and the Rev. Montagu Pennington, vicar of Northbourn, near Deal, the Biographer of Mrs. Eliz. Carter, his sister; of which truly eminent and good woman it is unnecessary to say any thing here.
