2 D

THE EARL OF DUNMORE. Nov. 11. At Dunmore Park, Stirlingshire, aged 74, the Right Hon. George Murray, fifth Earl of Dunmore, Viscount Fincastle, and Lord Murray of Blair, Moulin, and Tillemot, in the peerage of Scot and (1686), and Baron Dunmore, of Dunmore in the Forest of Athole, co. Perth (1831); brother-in-law to the Duke of Hamilton and the late Duchess of Somerset, uncle to Sir Augustus and Mademoiselle d'Este, &c.

His Lordship was born at Edinburgh, April 30, 1762, the eldest son of John the fourth Earl, by Lady Charlotte Stewart, sixth daughter of Alexander sixth Earl of Galloway.

He succeeded his father in the peerage in Feb. 1809; but did not sit in the House of Lords until honoured with his English peerage, at the Coronation of his present Majesty, by patent dated Sept. 7, 1831. In his parliamentary votes he supported the Whig ministry.

His Lordship married at London Aug. 4, 1803, his cousin.german Lady Susan Hamilton, third daughter of Archibald minth Duke of Hamilton and Brandon (by Lady Harriet Stewart, elder sister of Charlotte Countess of Dunmore); and by that lady, who survives him, he had three sons, who are all living but unmarried: 1. the Rt. Hon. Alexander Edward, now Earl of Dunmore, born in 1804; 2. the Hon. Charles Augustus Mur ay, M. A.; 3..the Hon. Henry-Anthony Murray, Lieut. R.N.

VISCOUNT FORBES, M.P.

Nov. 14. At Noel house, Kensington Gore, the residence of his aunt, the dowager Marchioness of Hastings, in his 52d year, the Hon. George-John Forbes, commonly called Lord Viscount Forbes, a Major-General in the army, Lord Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum of the county of Longford, Colonel of the Longford militia, and one of the Knights in Parliament for that shire.

His Lordship was born on the 3d May 1785, the eldest child of George sixth and present Earl of Granard, by the Lady Selina Frances Rawdon, fourth daughter of John first Earl of Moira, and sister to the late Marquis of Hastings.

He was appointed Lieutenant in the 108th foot in 1794, a Captain on the halfpay of the 74th foot, 1804; brevet Major 1805: Captain in the 8th garrison battalion 1809: Aide.de-Camp to the Prince Regent, with the rank of Lieut-Colonel, 1811.; Capt..in De Meuron's regiment,,

1814; brevet Colonel 1815; and MajorGeneral 1825.

His lordship was first returned to Parliament as one of the members for the

county of Longford at the General ElecIn 1807 he lost his seat, tion in 1806.

but was again returned in 1812; and from that time he continued to represent it for the remainder of his life, with a brief exception in 1831.

His family had always supported liberal measures, and the Viscount was a zealous advocate of Catholic Emancipa

tion in the House of Commons. In 1831, however, a disagreement arose between him and the popular party, and with Mr. Anthony Lefroy he was defeated by Mr Luke White and Mr. Halpin Roarke, though subsequently restored by an Election committee. Latterly he was styled a Conservative.

A few months ago his Lordship was, by an inquisition, found to be insane, the determining cause of which unhappy visitation was an unfortunate accident that befel him about fifteen months ago, when he had an apoplectic seizure at Leicester. From the first attack to the moment of his death he was assiduously attended night and day by his disconsolate widow, who has lost her father during that time.

On his remains being examined, it was found water had lodged itself on the brain, and that the brain was also much discoloured.

Those who knew the deceased speak highly of his many excellent qualities. He was an early and intimate friend of the poet Moore, who addressed to him one of his American Epistls:

"Thou, gently lull'd in dreams of claasic thought,

By bards illumined and by sages taught,
Pant'st to be all upon this mortal scene
That bard hath fancied or that sage hath been!
Why should I wake thee? why severely chase
The lovely forms of virtue and of grace
That dwell before thee, &c.

Lord Forbes was appointed to the office of Lord Lieutenant of the county of Longford by the Marquis of Anglesey; but when the commission of lunacy was issued, Mr. Luke White was nominated his successor.

His Lordship married in Oct. 1832 Frances-Mary, daughter of the late William Territt, LL.D of Chilton, co. Suffolk, formerly Judge of the Admiralty Court at Bermuda, (see our Magazine for December, p. 670) by whom he has left two sons, George- Arthur now Viscount Forbes, born in 1833, and the younger boru in. February last.

His Lordship's body was conveyed for interment to Granard, co. Longford.

MAJOR-GEN. THE HON. SIR C. J.
GREVILLE.

Dec. 2. In Hill street, Berkeleysquare, aged 56, the Hon. Sir Charles John Greville, K. C.B. a Major-General in the army, and Colonel of the 98th foot, only surviving brother of the Earl of Warwick and Brooke.

He was born on the 5th of April, 1780, the second child of George the 2d Earl of Warwick and Brooke, by his second wife Henrietta, daughter of Richard Vernon, esq. and Evelyn Countess dowager of Upper Ossory, daughter of John first Earl Gower.

He entered the army in 1796 as an Ensign in the 10th regiment of foot, which he joined in India. He succeeded to a Lieutenancy by purchase shortly after, and in 1799 obtained his company. He was then on the staff of the Marquess Wellesley at Calcutta, with whom he remained until the 10th was ordered to join the army under Sir David Baird, destined to operate on the rear of the French army in Egypt. He accompanied his regiment on its march across the desert to Cairo. In 1802 he obtained the majority of the 38th regiment by purchase; and in like manner the Lieut.- Coloneley in 1805. He succeeded to the 1st battalion by the death of Lieut.-Col. Vassall, and took the command on its return from South America in the autumn of 1807.

Whilst he secured the love and attention of his officers, he never lost sight of a strict discipline, or the respect that was due to himself. No one knew better how duty should be performed; but in reproving any neglect or disobedience of orders, be never once made use of any harsh or ungentlemanlike language. The claims of the non-commissioned officers were sedulously attended to, and many of the most deserving were provided for.

In command of the 38th, Sir Charles Greville embarked at Cork with the army under Sir Arthur Wellesley, landed in Portugal in 1808, and was subsequently under the orders of Sir John Moore on the retreat to Corunna. The next year they were at Walcheren; and afterwards Sir Charles accompanied them to Spain, was present at Salamanca, in temporary command of General Hay's brigade in the fifth division, and remained during all the subsequent operations. At the siege of St. Sebastian, he had the command of a brigade, and continued to act in that capacity, with very short intervals, until the

conclusion of the war. At a subsequent period, when the reinforcements from America arrived in such numbers at Paris, they were formed into what was called the 12th British Brigade, but which, in point of numbers, was larger than most of the divisions: the administration of this large body was intrusted to Sir Charles Greville, who was still only a Colonel, to which rank he had been promoted 4th June 1813.

In 1819 he was promoted to the rank of Major-General; in 1832 appointed to the Colonelcy of the 98th regiment; and in the course of the year just ended, was brought back to his old regiment on the removal of Earl Ludlow to the Scotch Fusileer Guards. This preferment he unfortunately did not live long to enjoy, having previously suffered from a lingering illness, that obliged him to resign his seat in Parliament, and the germ of which he most probably imbibed at Flushing.

Sir Charles Greville, having been present at the battles of Roleia, Vimiera, Corunna, Salamanca, Vittoria, the siege of St. Sebastian, and the battle of the Nive, received for those services the decoration of a cross and two clasps; and at the enlargement of the Order of the Bath in Jan. 1815, he was nominated a Knight Commander.

He was one of the members for the borough of Warwick from the year 1812 to 1831. In 1832 he was returned, but unseated on petition. In 1835 the interest of the Conservative party and the house of Warwick was again triumphant; but, as before mentioned, he was recently obliged to retire from ill health.

Sir Charles Greville was unmarried. His body was conveyed to Warwick for interment. On its way it was met by his regiment, now stationed in Weedon barracks, which conducted the procession through Weedon, the band playing the Dead March in Saul, and then fell back, and fired three salutes over the corpse. The funeral took place on the 15th Dec. and was conducted with the utmost privacy, the attendance of all other carriages being declined but those of the Earl of Aylesford and Lord Viscount Eastnor. The mourners were the Earl of Warwick, the Earls of Aylesford and Clonmell, brothers-in-law to the deceased, and one or two others.

SIR GEORGE HARNAGE, BART. Nov. 19. At East Moulsey, in his 70th year, Sir George Harnage, Bart.

He was the only son of John Lucie Blackman, esq. of London, merchant, (of an old London and West India family,) by Mary, daughter of Henry Harnage, esa.

who afterwards remarried the late Adm. Sir Edmund Nagle.

He married July 19, 1791, his cousin Mary, eldest surviving daughter of Henry Harnage of Belleswardine, co. Salop, esq. a Lieut.-Colonel in the army; and in 1821 he assumed the surname of Harnage only, by license under the royal sign manual. The family of Harnage long flourished in Shropshire, and purchased the manor of Belleswardine in 1542. In the same year (1821), by patent dated Sept. 8, he was advanced to the dignity of a Baronet.

Sir George had issue four sons: 1. Sir George Harnage, his successor, born in 1792, a Captain R. N.; he has married Caroline Helena, daughter and coheiress of Bartlett Goodrich, esq. of SalingGrove, co. Essex, and has issue HenryGeorge, his heir apparent; 2. Capt. John Lucie Harnage, of the Coldstream-guards, slain at Waterloo; 3. the Rev. Henry Harnage Harnage; and 4. Edward Harnage, esq. who married in 1830, Eliza, eldest daughter of the Rev. Mark Drury.

SIR R. GREENHILL-RUSSELL, BART. Dec. 12. Aged 73, Sir Robert Greenhill-Russell, of Checquers Court, co. Buckingham, Bart. Barrister-at-law, a Faculty Student of Christ church, Oxford, and M.A.

He was born at Missenden, co. Bucks, and was the only surviving child of the Rev. John Russell Greenhill, of Colesford, co. Oxford, LL.D. Rector of Fringford in that county, and of Marsh Gibbon, co. Bucks, (who died in 1813,) by Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of Matthew Noble, of Sunderland.

He was educated at Westminster; admitted a scholar of St. Peter's college, Oxford, in 1776; elected a Student of Christchurch in 1780, at the age of 16.; and graduated B. A. 1784, M.A. 1787. Being a Faculty Student, he retained his Studentship of Christchurch until his death. He was called to the bar by the Hon. Society of Lincoln's Inn, June 14, 1790.

In 1804, on the death of Sir George Russell, of Checquers Court, the tenth Baronet of that family (the dignity having been first conferred in 1629 on Sir Wil liam Russell of Chippenham, co. Cambridge, Treasurer of the Navy to King Charles 1.) he succeeded to that property, which had been derived from John Revett, esq. who married Frances Russell, one of the great-aunts of Sir George; Samuel Greenhill, esq. grandfather of Sir Robert now deceased, marrying Elizabeth Russell, her sister. These ladies were great-granddaughters of the Protector

Oliver Cromwell; through his daughter Frances, who was the wife of Sir John Russell, the third Baronet.

At the general election of 1807 Mr. Greenhill was returned to Parliament as one of the members for the borough of Thirsk; he retained his seat during seven Parliaments, and for twenty-five years, until the dissolution consequent upon the Reform Act in 1832.

By royal licence dated May 13, 1815, Mr. Greenhill took in addition the surname of Russell; and by patent dated Sept. 30, 1831, he was advanced to the dignity of a Baronet.

He was never married, and his title has become extinct.

D. S. DUGDALE, ESQ.

Nov. 5. In St. James's place, Dugdale Stratford Dugdale, esq. of Merivale Hall, Warwickshire, formerly M. P. for that County.

Mr. Dugdale was the second, but only surviving, son of Richard Geast, esq. barrister-at-law, who took the name and arms of Dugdale in 1799, pursuant to the will of his maternal uncle John Dugdale, of Blyth Hall, esq. the great-grandson of the celebrated Sir William Dugdale, Garter King of Arms, and author of the Baronage, the Monasticon, and the History of Warwickshire. His mother was PenelopeBate, eldest daughter and coheiress (with Frances, wife of the late Joseph Cradock, esq. F.S.A.) of Francis Stratford, of Merivale Hall, esq.

He was first returned to Parliament for the county of Warwick at the general election of 1802, and was re-chosen in every subsequent Parliament until 1830.

During the war, he commanded the Atherstone corps of volunteer yeomanry.

Mr. Dugdale's character was highly estimable in all the relations of public and private life. When in the House of Commons he enjoyed the reputation of unremitting attention and punctuality in the discharge of his Parliamentary duties; as a truly fine example of the old English gentleman, he was deservedly admired by all who had the honour and pleasure of his acquaintance; and, as the landlord, he was justly endeared to a numerous and prosperous tenantry, by a peculiarly considerate and actively benevolent disposition.

Mr. Dugdale married June 27, 1799, the Hon. Charlotte Curzon, daughter of Assheton first Viscount Curzon, and aunt to the present Earl Howe, by the Hon. Dorothy Grosvenor, aunt to the present Marquis of Westminster. By this lady, who survives him, he had issue only one son, William Stratford Dugdale, esq.

who is one of the members in the present Parliament for the Northern division of Warwickshire. He married in 1827, Harriet-Eliza, daughter of the late Edward Berkeley Portman, esq. of Bryanston, Dorsetshire, and sister to E. B. Portman, esq. late M.P. for Marylebone.

Mr. Dugdale married secondly, Sept. 16, 1834, Mary-Elizabeth, (second wife and) widow of the late Sir Masterman Mark Sykes, and sister of Wilbraham Tatton, esq. of Tatton Park, co. Chester.

THOMAS CALLEY, ESQ.

Sept. 17. At Caunstadt. aged 56, Thomas Calley, esq. of Burderop Park and Overton House, Wiltshire, a magistrate and deputy lieutenant of that county.

Mr. Calley was born Aug. 31, 1780, the eldest son and heir of Thomas Browne Calley, esq. of Burderop, by Elizabeth, only daughter of John Rowlls, of Kingston-upon-Thames, esq. He succeeded :o his estates after a minority of eleven years, in 1801; and in 1803-4 served the office of High Sheriff of Wiltshire. In 1812, he was returned to Parliament for the borough of Cricklade, but retained his seat for a few sessions only, resigning it before the close of that Parliament. He again sat a short time for that borough, in the Parliament of 1831-2.

Mr. Calley married, July 20, 1802, Elizabeth- Anne, only daughter of Anthony James Keck, esq. of Stoughton Grange, co, Leicester, by Elizabeth, second daughter and coheiress of Peter Legh, of Lyme, in Cheshire, esq. Mrs. Keck's mother was Martha, daughter and heiress of Thomas Benett, esq. of Salthorpe House, Wilts, and after that family he named two of his children. He had two sons, Thomas- Benett, who died unmarried; and John-James, who has become his heir, born in 1810, and now a lieutenant in the 12th lancers. Also two daughters, Elizabeth- Anne-Benett, who was married in May, 1827, to John Neale Nott, esq. R. N. and died three months after; and Arabella, married in 1825 to John Mathews Richards, esq. of Cardiff, and has issue.

REV. SPENCER MADAN, D.D. Oct. 9. At Ibstock, Leicestershire, aged 78, the Rev. Spencer Madan, D.D. for upwards of 50 years Rector of that parish, Prebendary and Chancellor of the diocese of Peterborough.

Dr. Madan was the eldest son of the Right Rev. Spencer Madan, D.D. Lord Bishop of Peterborough, and the Lady Charlotte, sister of the first Marquis Cornwallis. He was educated at Westminster, and elected from the foundation

of that school in 1776 to Trinity College, Cambridge; in which university he was presented to an honorary degree of M. A. Dec. 11, 1778, a distinction (observes his tutor, Mr. Atwood, in a letter to his father) "due to him from his birth, but I must add equally so from his superior talents and character." Disinclined to mathematical studies, and deriving a poetical turn, perhaps, from his near connection with the family of the poet Cowper, he obtained in 1782 the Seatonian prize for his classical and spirited lines entitled, "The Call of the Gentiles." As a preparatory exercise for holy orders, Mr. Madan undertook a translation of Grotius's treatise on the truth of the Christian religion, a work which received the favourable notice of the reviewers as an able and useful performance, calculated to do "an important service to the cause of Revelation." His original purpose was so far answered, that he was ordained by Bishop Hinchliffe, without hesitation, and with a complimentary notice of his book as a reason for not requiring the usual form, or at least more than the mere form, of examination. Of this work he published a second edition in 1814, with the two supplementary books of Mr. Le Clerk, and the annotations and testimonies.

Having served the curacy of Wrotham, in Kent, about a year, of which living Dr. Tarrant, Dean of Peterborough, was incumbent, Mr. Madan became in 1783 Rector of Bradley Magna, in Suffolk, which he resigned after holding it three years, having succeeded to the prebend and vicarage of Tachbrook, Warwickshire, given him by his uncle the Bishop of Lichfield, the former of which he exchanged for Ibstock in 1785, and in the following year resigned the latter on his presentation by the Bishop to the rectory of St. Philip's, Birmingham, with the treasurership and prebend of Sawley, in the church of Lichfield annexed. In 1787, he succeeded his father as a Chaplain in ordinary to his Majesty, and held that honourable appointment for thirty-four years, until obliged by infirmity to tender his resignation. Through the kindness of Mrs. Cornwallis, to whom the Archbishop left by will the disposal of certain options, Mr. Madan succeeded to the dignity of a Canon Residentiary of Lichfield, on the death of Mr. Seward in 1790. In the same year he received a highly complimentary offer to attend Lord Gower as Chaplain to the Embassy at Paris; an honour which he felt himself obliged to decline in consideration of his professional engagements in England. In 1794, he was collated by his father to the Chan
