Sir English died 27th September, 1837, when the BARONETCY became EXTINCT. "This remarkable personage," says a recent writer in the Gentleman's Magazine, "was much attached to classical literature and antiquities, and like his father, was a zealous supporter of the Established Church, but a sincere friend to toleration. Previously to his final retirement into the country, he lingered with much affection about the haunts of his youthful studies and amusements, being alike remarkable for his venerable deportment and harmless eccentricity. He was a constant visitor at the commemoration dinners at Christchurch; and he frequently joined the juvenile ranks at Westminster School, whom he would accompany to service at the Abbey, saying he was the youngest among them, beginning to count afresh from the age of seventy. He had his cards printed in black letter type, saying that he was himself "old English," and that was the most appropriate style for him. carried so many small volumes about with him in his numerous and capacious pockets, that he appeared like a walking library; and his memory, particularly in classical quotations, was equally richly stored. About 1820, he visited Italy, taking with him Mr. G. Tytler, a Scotch artist, who afterwards published a large panoramic view of Edinburgh, and also several lithographic views in Italy, in which the figure of Sir English frequently occurs."

BARRETT, OF CASTLEMORE.
Lineage.

THE family of BARRETT, originally English, acquired considerable power and conferred its name on one of the baronies of the county of Cork; in describing which, Dr. Smith relates an anecdote, sufficiently expressive of the enduring alienation of the ancient Milesian race, from even the oldest of the English settlers: "O'Neil, Earl of Tyrone, when marching anno 1600, to assist the Spaniards against Elizabeth, being told that one Barrett (who was a good Catholic, and whose family possessed for more than 400 years, the property he happened to be enquiring about) was owner of Castlemore, (near Mallow,) replied with an oath, in Irish, "No matter, I hate the English churl, as though he came but yesterday."
