The late Sir William Dolben was educated at Westminster School, and from thence went to Christ Church, Oxford, where he continued his studies with the reputation of an elegant and sound scholar. He sat in Parliament between 40 and 50 years; and, on the first agitation of the Slave Trade, came forward, with Mr. Wilberforce and others, and was the first to bridle, by legislative authority, that cruel traffick. He was a zealous supporter of the Established Church, but yet a genuine friend to Toleration. He amused himself occasionally, in the latter part of his life, by composing in Latin Poetry, in which he displayed great taste, as well as classical accuracy. He was lively in his conversation, which he rendered yet more agreeable by the facility he had of introducing apt quotations from those authors of eminence, both ancient and modern, which he had read. He was of a calm, yet cheerful spirit - his heart overflowed with benignity; and he possessed an uncommon softness and suavity of manners. We may sum up these, and his other estimable qualities, in a few words, by saying, that he was the model Day of of a man, a gentleman, and a Chris tian. P. 417, b.

Sir Horace was a member of the House of Commons from 1774 to 1807, and sat in five parliaments preceding the latter date for the borough of Sandwich. His life, however, was rather dedicated to pleasure than business. Enjoying a good constitution, he was from his youth much attached to gymnastic exercises, and was at one period greatly attached to cricket, which, as he advanced in life, he relinquished for the more sedate amusement of whist. late years he regularly passed his time between Bath and Margate, and was one of the first and warmest promoters of every useful institution or improvement set on foot in both those places. He married, in 1765, Lucy, sister of Thomas Earl of Gainsborough, who died in 1778, leaving three daughters, Lucy, married to James Mann, esq. of Egertou-lodge, near Lenham; Emily, to Sir Robert Heron; and Harriet, to Col. Rochfort. By his death without male issue, the title is extinct. METEOROLOGICAL TABLE for May, 1814. By W. CARY, Strand. Height of Fahrenheit's Thermometer. 8 o'clock Morning. Month.
