DEATHS.

Mar. T Southampton, Mrs. Frances 5. Henckell, a maiden lady, fifter of George H. efq. of Auftin Friers. She was a perfon, whom no one capable of appreciating piety, benevolence, amenity of manners, and lively converfation, could but admire and efteem. She bore, in the moft ferene and placid manner, a very painful illness, which required the utmost patience and refignation. Her charities were numerous; and the had no greater pleasure than in alleviating the wants and diftreffes of the poor. The fweetness of her difpofition, and gentleness of her temper, made her always ready to participate in their woes. As a tender and affectionate daughter, a fond fifter, and a fincere

friend,

friend, the was equalled by few, and exceeded by none. She was a liberal promoter of a School of Industry established in Southampton, to which the devoted much of her time and attention.

April 8. At Honduras, in the prime of life, after three days illness, John O'Con、 nor, efq. of Middleton, in the county of Cork, in Ireland. His liberal and energetic mind, his zealous exertions in the affairs of his friends, and for the public good of the community in which he principally refided, his benevolence, generosity, and fincerity, are fo deeply impreffed on the hearts of those who knew him, that few men in private life have died more regretted by numerous acquaintances; not one more lamented by his near friends and diftreffed family. His only child, about five years old (to the additional grief of his afflicted widow) furvived the father but a few days. 14 At Wetmoreland, in Jamaica, Dr. John Drummond.

May 8. In her 59th year, Mrs. Hannali Illidge, wife of Mr. John Illidge, of New caftle, co. Stafford. Her death was greatly haftened by travelling to Londoa in one of the long coaches; which, from the manner in which they are hung, are no better tban flying jolting waggons. However advantageous the ufe of fuch coaches may be to the proprietors, they are certainly very uncomfortable and injurious to travellers. Mrs. I. came to London to take her leave of a fon, who had been, for the laft 15 years, in the West Indies, but who, a few months ago, came to England to gratify his own feelings, and particularly those of his very anxious parents, and was then about to fail again to the fame place. When the came to London the appeared as well, if not better, than for feveral years paft, but yet the complained greatly of the inconvenience and evil of the long heavy coaches. She had not travelled many miles before the fevere exercise brought on the bowel complaint which greatly incommoded her all the way; and, from the day The came to London, it was observed that a flow fever drank up her fpirits and wafted her ftrength, till the 16th day of her arririval in London, when he died, having been confined to her bed only three days, and without any ferious danger being apprehended till within a few hours of her death. Her fon failed from Portsmouth on the 7th of May, and the died on the following day.

14. At Belfhiel, in Berwickshire, Capt. Thomas Tait, of the 81ft foot.

20..Near Bergen-op-Zoom, the famous Henry Vander Noot, who acted fuch a confpicuous part in the Belgic infurrection against the Emperor Jofeph II.

Lately, at Charkof, in Ruffia, fhortly after his arrival, the German phyfician, Dr. Willich, lately appointed profeffor of phyfick there.

At Achmetfhet, in the Crimea, aged 68, the juftly-celebrated Peter-Simon Pallas, M. D. profeflor of natural history and philofophy in the Imperial Academy of Sciences at St. Petersburg, and member of almost all the learned focieties of Europe. He was a native of Germany; ftudied at Goettingen; and, in 1766, was invited into Ruffia by her late Majefty the Empress Catharine II. who fent him, with other academicians, on an expedition through the interior of her dominions, for the purpose of exploring its different foil and products; the refult of which is too well known to the learned of all nations, to need any particulars of it in this place. In 1790 he publifhed an account of the peninfula of the Crimea; in which he delineates the face of that country in fuch glowing tints, defcribes the climate and atmosphere as fo genial and benign, the inhabitants as fo gentle and humane, and, in fhart, fo charms us with the lively manner in which he delivers his narrative of this abode of paftoral felicity, that we are tempted to imagine the golden age returned, or that we were tranfported back to the times of uncorrupted nature and fimplicity. The Empress was so struck with it, that he told the Profeffor, as he found it necefiary for his health to seek a warmer region than that of St. Petersburg, if he chofe to go and fettle in the Crimea, he might repair thither, and take with him furveyors, builders, carpenters, gardeners, &c. at her expence, pitch on a spot of ground, in whatever fituation and of whatever dimenfions he pleafed, there conftruct a habitation to his own mind; and to the establishment of it he was graciouДy pleafed to fettle on him a handfome penfion, making him an immediate donation of ten thousand rubles. In this delightful fpot the Doctor paffed several years; and, while the laying-out of his grounds, &c. filled up his time, he was happy enough; but he foon found that fomething more was wanting to his fatisfaction, than romantic fcenes of mountains, valleys, lakes, &c.; they charmed his eye indeed, but his excurfive mind was languishing for that nourishment which cultivated fociety alone can give. Of this abatement to his happiness he complains in feveral of his letters.-It does not appear that the Doctor has completed the publication of Profeffor Guldenfædt's journal, or his hiftory of the Mongoles. His latt work confifts of his travels through the Southern provinces of the Ruffian Empire, published in two volumes quarto, an elegant English translation of which has lately appeared.

At a very advanced age, Nicholas Revett, efq. younger fon of Andrew R. elq. of Brandefton-hal!, Suffolk, and the ingenious draughtfman, and fellow-traveller with James Stuart, efq. and joint editor of the Antiquities and Ruins of Athens, where

they

they refided many years. Mr. R. alfo travelled through Afia Minor, with Dr. Chandler, and publifhed the Ionian Antiquities, being engaged for that purpose by the Dilettanti Society. His valuable library of books of architecture, and drawings by himself and others, including many on facred fubjects, in four volumes, by Dr. Stakeley, was fold by Mr. Chriftie on the 26th and 27th of June. One of the most fingular exertions of Mr. R.'s gevins was the Church defigned by him in 1778 for Sir Lionel Lyde, bart. at Ayott St. Lawrence, co. Herts. The old church at the back of the mansion houfe being dilapidated, though not incapable of restoration at a far lefs expence, it was determined to erect a new one fronting the house at the Western extremity of the park, in a tyle of Architecture not confined to any one Grecian model; of which we should be happy to receive from any of our correfpondents a drawing more refembling it, than that in our vol. LXXII. p. 1003 does the ruined Gothic ftructure. The cere mony of confecrating the new church is detailed in our vol. XLIX. p. 374; and an infcription commemorating the Architect, vol. LIX. p. 972, on a pedestal supporting an urn under a colonade flanking the entrance; on a correfponding pedestal is an infcription to Sir Lionel Lyde, bart. who died in 1791, aged 68. After the new church had been confecrated, and made ufe of, Bishop Thurlow refufed his licence to take down the old one, which still remains, with the monuments of its patrons and benefactors, a beautiful Gothic ruin.

At Windfor, in her 27th year, the amiable wife of John Ramsbottom, jun. efq. Her memory will long be cherished with affection, and her lofs deplored by a numerous circle of afflicted friends.

In the neighbourhood of Lambeth, Mr. Harry Paulet, commonly called Governor of Lambeth Marsh, a well-known public character. His remains were attended to the grave by a great number of perfons whom his bounty had made comfortable. Mr. P. whofe love for his country cannot be excelled, was, in 1758, mafter of an English vetfel in North America, and traded up the river St. Lawrence; but being taken by the enemy, he remained a prifoner under Montcalm at Quebec, who refufed to exchange him on account of his extensive knowledge of the coaft, the ftrength of Quebec and Louisbourg, with all the different foundings. They therefore came to a refolution to fend him to France, to be kept a prifoner during the war; and with fuch intent he was embarked on-board a veffel ready to fail with difpatches to the French Government. Being the only Englishman on-board, Harry was admitted to the cabin, where he took nosice, one day, that the packet hung in an

expofed fituation in a canvas bag for the purpose of being thrown overboard on any danger of being taken. This he marked as the object of a daring enterprize; and fhortly after, in conf quence of the veffel being obliged to put into Vigo for provifions and intelligence, he put his defign into execution. There were two English mea war lying at anchor, and Mr. P. thought this a proper opportumty to make his meditated attempt; he therefore one night, when all but the watch were afleep, took the packet out of the bag, and, having fixed it in his mouth, filéntly let hinfelf down to the water, and, to prevent being difcovered, floated on his back to the bows of one of the English thips, where he fecured himfelf by the cables, and calling for affiftance was immediately taken on-board with the packet. The captain, charmed with his bold attempt, treated hims with great humanity, and gave him a fuit of fcarlet cloaths trimmed with blue velvet and gold, which he retained to the day of his death. The difpatches, being tranfcribed, proved to be of the utmoft confequence to our affairs in North America; and Harry was fent with a copy of them poft overland to Lisbon, from whence he was brought to Falmouth in a floop of war, and immediately fet out for London. Upon his arrival in town, he was examined by proper perfons in the adminiftration, and rewarded agreeably to the nature of his fervice; but, what is moft remarkable, an expedition was inftantly formed upon a review of thefe difpatches, and our fucceffes in North America, under Wolfe and Saunders, are in fome degree to be attri buted to the attachment of Harry Paulet to the interests of his country. For his fervice Government rewarded him with the pay of a lieutenant for life, which, with other advantages (for Harry had ever been prudent), he was enabled to purchase a velfel. Here fame takes fome liberty with his character, and afferts that he used to run to the French coaft, and now and then take in a cargo of brandy; but, be that as it may, Harry was one morning returning, when the French fleet had ftolen out of Brett under Conflans, while Admiral Hawke was hid behind the rock of Ufhant to watch the motions of the enemy. Mr. Paulet, loving his country better than his cargo, foon ran up to the British Admiral, and, demanding to speak with him, was ordered to make his veffel faft and come onboard; upon his telling Hawke what he knew of the enemy, the Admiral told him, if he was right, he would make his fortune; but, if he had deceived him, by G-d he would hang him upon the yard-arm. The fleet was inftantly under weigh, and, upon Paulet's direction to the master (for he was an excellent pilot), the British fleet was prefently brought between the enemy

and

1758; Jane-Elizabeth, born 1758; Mary, born 1761; which three died infants; and Hefter-Frances, married to Sir William Bellingham, of Bellingham-castle, in Ireland, born 1763.

7. At Totnes, Devon, in his roth year, Mr. Richard Hernaman, who for the laft 40 years held with great credit, and difcharged with great fatisfaction, the office of deputy-registrar of Totnes archdeaconry. 8.

Drowned on the coaft of Jamaica, Henry Baker, efq. commander of his Majesty's brig the Pelican, of 18 guns, and fecond furviving fon of William Baker, efq. of Bay fordbury, in Hertfordshire, member in the laft and preceding Parliaments for that county. This young officer, whofe merit had raised him at an early age to the rank he bore in the royal navy, fell a victim to that benevolence of heart and contempt of danger which fo ftrongly characterise the British failor. The particulars of this difaftrous event are detailed in Lieutenant Foley's letter to Admiral Duckworth; fuffice it here to fay, that Captain B. his firft lieutenant Mr. Davis, and four feamen, were unhappily loft by their generous and fuccefsful, though to themselves fatal, exertions to fave from deftruction, the crew of a foundering Spanish fchooner. Captain B's elder brother Edward, then a midfh pman on board the Leviathan, died at Jamaica of the yellow fever in April 1796. (See vol. LXVI. p. 614.) Thefe two young men, in the opinion of their fuperior officers, promised to become diftinguished in their profeffion; to their family their lofs is irreparable; for never did two fons merit or enjoy a greater thare of parental affection and folicitude.

10. At Wootton under-Edge, Gloucesterfhire, a woman of the name of Lane, who had been in the habit, for years paft, of inftructing poor children who attended the Sunday fchool at the Rev. Rowland Hill's Chapel. She particularly wished that, when it fhould pleafe God to take her, the might die in fome part of the prem fles belonging to that clergyman. She attended the chapel as ufual in good health on Sunday morning, and appeared perfectly well, till Mr. Hill had concluded his ferman; when the was difcovered by fome of the congregation to change colour, and before they had time to take her from the place the expired without a groan.
