By her grandmother, on the maternal side also, she was descended from the antient and respectable

At Edinburgh, Mary, wife of Rev. Dr. Brunton. As a novelist her pen was consecrated to the interests of religion and virtue. The author of "Self Control," and " Discipline" has prematurely terminated her honourable career in the flower of life.-Mrs. Brunton was a native of North Britain. Her childhood was chiefly spent in the Highlands; and it is not improbable that these early habits of seclusion conspired with native enthusiasm to give her character that romantic bias which is in general unfavourable to the tranquillity of its possessor. It is impossible without feelings of tender commiseration, to advert to Mrs. Brunton's death; she expired, shortly after having given birth to a lifeless infant, the sole offspring of that harmonious conjugal union which, during 20 years, had been crowned with a more than ordinary portion of human felicity.

At Waterford, the Rev. S. Monsell, The affairs of this extraordinary eccentric character appear to be involved in great mystery. A search was made at his lodgings in Waterford (Nov. 14), at which Rev. Mr. Wall, and Rev. Mr. Palmer, of Clonmel, attended, accompanied by H. Alcock, esq. Sheriff, and a Mr. Monsell, a distant relative of the deceased; and although his iron chests, trunks, &c. were minutely

[ocr errors]

minutely examined, yet no document or memorandum was discovered which could lead to the knowledge of where his past property is. There was an unexecuted will among his papers, which was not in his own hand-writing. All the cash found there was twenty guineas in gold, and about the same number of farthings; so that this search, to which public anxiety was nearly as much directed as to that lately made in Scotland for the ancient Regalia of the kingdom, has ended, without any more interesting circumstances, or affording his relatives and friends the information they expected. There is a nephew of his in England, the son of the Jate Col. Monsell.-Waterford Mirror.

ABROAD-In his 86th year, the Marquis Du Lau, a general officer in the French army, and a knight of St, Louis. He served under Marshal Saxe, and when only fifteen years of age was wounded at the siege of Bergen op Zoom.

Rev. John Guilding, M. A. rector of the parishes of St. George and St. Andrew in the island of St. Vincent, chaplain to the garrison, and one of the assistant justices in that island.

Jan. 2. At Oxford, Mrs. Olivia Adee, after a long decay of strength, but possessing perfect recollection to the last. She was the second of four daughters of Dr. Swithin Adee, who for many years practised as the chief physician at Guildford in Surrey, from whence he removed to London, but afterwards retired from business, and spent the remainder of his days amongst his old College friends, with whom he lived much respected and esteemed. His recommendation of the water at Jessop's Well, near Cobham in Surrey, has been recorded in vol. XXI. P. 411. One only of the four daughters

is now living. Jan. 4. At his seat, Stokestown House, co. Roscommon, in his 81st year, the Right Hon. Maurice Mahon, Lord Hartland, Baron Hartland of Stokestown, co. Ros

common, a governor of the county of Roscommon, &c. His Lordship was born June 21, 1738, married July 1, 1765, the Hon. Catharine Moore, youngest daughter of Stephen Viscount Mount Cashel, by whom he had issue, 1. Maj.-gen. the Hon. Thomas Mahon, Lieut.-col. 9th dragoons, now Lord Hartland, born Aug. 2, 1766, married Oct. 16, 1811, Catherine, eldest daughter of James Topping, esq. of Whatcroft Hall, Cheshire. 2. Maj. gen. the Hon. Stephen Mahon, first Lieut.-col. 7th dragoon guards, Knight of the shire for the county of Roscommon, born Feb. 6, 1768. 3. The Hon. and Rev. Maurice Mahou, prebendary of St. Patrick's, born Oct. 6, 1772, married Nov. 24, 1813, Isabella Jane, sister of William Hoare Hume, esq. of Hume Wood, M. P. for the county of Wicklow. The deceased Peer was descended from a long line of ancestry, deriving their stem from the aboriginal princes of Munster. Previous to his Lordship's accession to the Peerage, he represented the county of Roscommon in 1782, in the parliament of Ireland. The extreme grief of his relatives and friends, and the regret of all who were acquainted with his honourable integrity, unaffected urbanity, and politeness, are the strongest proofs of his genuine worth.

Jan. 7. In Gower-street, London, at the age of nearly 86, after a good and useful life, indefatigable in every public duty, and affectionate in every social relation, the Rev. William Morice, D. D. the Senior of his Majesty's Chaplains, rector of Allhallows, Bread-street, and Secretary of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign parts. He was the second son of William Morice, esq. of Kensington, Middlesex, (whose first wife was Mary, the beloved daughter of the celebrated Bishop Atterbury) by his second wife Anne, daughter of Captain John Philpot, of Dover, in Kent. Dr. Morice married Haunah (who died Feb. 9, 1789) youngest daughter of John Voyce, esq. of Sudbury in Suffolk, joint Receiver General for that county; by whom he has left four sons and one daughter to revere his virtues and bewail his loss.

Jan. 9. At Horsmonden, Kent, in her 76th year, Mrs. Catherine Marriott, widow of the late Rev. James Marriott, LL.D. many years rector of that parish. None ever lived more justly beloved, or died more sincerely lamented.

Jan. 13. Suddenly, while transacting business at the West India Dock House, in his 57th year, Mr. Kentish, of the house of Haynes and Kentish, goldsmiths, of Cornhill. In him were united the most amiable qualities of mind, and pure integrity of heart.

At Somers Town, in his 81st year, Dr. John Wolcot, well known to the literary world

world under the name of Peter Pindar. He did not suffer much pain, and though strougly attached to life, prepared for the expected stroke of death with resignation and firmness. It is needless to expatiate on the character of his works, as they are universally known. Nature has seldom afforded a more original genius, and his mind was stored with various knowledge. He was well acquainted with the Greek language, and was a sound scholar in Latin. He spoke French with facility, and had made considerable progress in Italian. He drew his imagery from Nature and Life, which he had observed with vigilance and accuracy. Perhaps hardly any Poet since Shakspeare has illustrated his works with more abundant allusions derived from the sources of Nature. He had seen much of the world in various parts, and excelled in the imitation as well as delineation of character. His satirical humour was exuberant; and in reference to our revered Sovereign, it is impossible to palliate, or rather, not strongly to reprobate, the freedom, to use the mildest word, which he took with the Royal Character; but such is the ignorance, malevolence, and bad taste of the world, that his works were more popular on that account than for the original humour, wit, tenderness, and often sublimity, by which they are characterised. He never attacked any person after he became acquainted with him. He retained his faculties to the last, and was able, till within a very few days of his death, to dictate verses from his bed, which were strongly marked by his former strength and humour. It is proper to add, that no man had more reverential 'notions of the wisdom and goodness of the

Supreme Being as observable in the universe. He was a firm friend to the British Constitution, and held in horror the principles of democracy and the fury of a mob. He was a sound critic in poetry and painting; and his sketches of landscape evinced a degree of taste which, if poetry had not engrossed so much of his attention, might have rendered him no inferior artist. Peace to his manes!

Jan. 14. At Greenwich, in her 77th year, Mrs. Jane Potts, sister of Cuthbert Potts, esq. surgeon, formerly of Pall Mall, now of Kingsdowne, near Faversham, in Kent.

Jan. 19. At Sanderstead, Surrey, aged six months, the son of the Reverend A. W. Wigsell.

Jan. In Chester-place, Kennington, Mr. Henry Man, wine-merchant, eldest son of John Man, esq. of Reading, author of a History of that borough.

Vol. LXXXVIII. Part II. p. 283. b.The Rev. T. G. Taylor was originally admitted at Queen's College, which he left on account of some very disagreeable occurrences there; he took his degree of B.A. in 1793, not 1794, and was Junior Medallist of that year, Heberden, of St. John's, being the Senior. He obtained several Col lege prizes, particular a silver cup for composing one of the best declamations in his year. He also obtained the Members' prize for the best dissertation as Middle Bachelor in 1794, and as Senior Bachelor in 1795: these are open to all Bachelors of the respective years. His illuess was supposed to be epileptic, or at least a fit of that nature, to have caused the fall from his horse.
