In Lower Grosvenor street, the Dowager Lady Hamilton, widow of Gen. Sir Robt. H. Bart. and aunt to Sir Gilbert Heathcote, 90. In St. James's place, Sir JOHN LUBBOCK bart. This gentleman, a banker in London, son of Wm. Lubbock esq. of Lamas, Norfolk, was born in 1744, and created a baronet in 1806, with remainder to his nephew John Wm. Lubbock esq. He married in 1771, Elizabeth Christiana, daughter of Frederick Commerell esq. of Hanwell, Middlesex, by whom he has left one daughter married to (though now separated from) Sir Wastell Briscoe, bart. In Princes-street, Hanover-square, GusTAVUS HAMILTON, Viscount BOYNE and Baron Hamilton, of Stackallan, in the County of Meath, Ireland. He was born in 1749, succeeded his father Richard, the late Viscount in 1789, and married in 1773, Martha, only daughter of Sir Quaille Somerville bart. by whom he had issue two daughters and two sons, the elder of whom Gustavus succeeds to his titles and estates. At Dunster castle, Somersetshire, JOHN FOWNES LUTTRELL esq. M. P. for Minehead, which he had represented in eight successive parliaments. He was descended from the fourth baron Irnham, and related to the noble family of Carhampton. He married in 1782, Miss Drew, of the Grange, Somersetshire. In the discharge of the duties of husband, father, master, landlord and friend, he was surpassed by none. At Terling place, Essex, JOHN STRUTT, esq. 91. He served in Parliament, as an independent representative of the borough of Maldon, for several successive sessions, displaying in the discharge of his legislative duty a clearness of conception, and solidity of judgment which caused his opinions to be not unfrequently appealed to in branches of political economy, by the ruling Statesmen of those times.--On the lamentable disunion between the Admirals Keppel, and Sir Hugh Palliser, when, overawed by the licentiousness of party, the House were about to discredit themselves by an unanimous vote of thanks to the former, for his conduct on the memorable 27th of July, Mr. Strutt rose in his place, and gave his single negative to such a tribute of thanks from the commons of England, which he conscientiously considered to be unmerited. Before the close of that sessions, he had the satisfaction to find, that this act of singular fortitude, was sanctioned by the concurrent approbation of a large majority of that very assembly. Оп all other occasions, he manifested himself a loyal subject to his sovereign, and a firm adberent to the pure principles of the Constitution in church and state, from which no motive of personal favour, or self-interest, could induce him to depart. As successors [April 1, to his ample estates, and fortune, He has left two sons, Joseph Holden, Colonel of the Essex militia, M. P. for Maldon; and Gooday, who was severely wounded with the loss of a limb some years since,in the gallant defence of one of our Caribbee Islands, and is now a General in the army, and Lieute nant-governor of Quebec, The Rev. NATHANIEL THORNBURY, 37 years rector of Avening, Gloucestershire. This gentleman was born at the Hague, of English parents, and educated at the University of Oxford, where he took his degree of LL. B. His erudition was extensive, his mind strong, original, and comprehensive: he was not only an elegant classical scholar, but well skilled in natural history, and pos sessed also a correct and scientific taste in the fine arts. Having travelled over the most interesting parts of Europe, he spoke many languages with fluency, and by the aid of a memory almost unparalleled, he had the happy gift of rendering himself an instractive and amiable companion in all societies, His manners, which were derived from an affectionate and grateful heart, were polished and engaging, and he enjoyed the innocent pleasures of life according to the maxims of reason and religion. Sincerely attached to the orthodox doctrines of the church of England, Mr. Thornbury's loss, as her very zealous defender and supporter, will be felt in these times of danger and division by all, whose sentiments were in unison with his own, as well as by many of the literati, both in this country and on the Continent, to whom he was well known. It is to be regretted, that with such brilliant and rare talents, he should never have entered the list of candidates for literary fame, by diffusing through the medium of the press that knowledge with which his mind was so abundantly stored On Sunday the 10th March: this excellent man was seized with apoplexy in his parish church, just before the commencement of the morning service, and expired the next day in the 70th year of his age." At his seat in Ireland, CHICHESTER SKEFFINGTON, Earl of MASSAREENE, Barn of Loughneagh. He was the youngest of four brothers, all now dead without issue male, was some time representative in parlament for Antrim, and married Harriet, eldest daughter of the Earl of Roden, by whom he has left an only daughter, married to the Right Hon. Thomas Henry Foster. His Lordship held since 1791, the valuable place of collector of the port of Belfast, and dying without male issue, the title is extinct. At St. Andrew's, Scotland, ADAM FERGUSON, LL.D. formerly Professor of Moral Philosophy in the University of Edinburgh, 92, This gentleman, the last of those writers of the last century, whose works have reflected honour on their age and country, was the youngest of the nu 1816.] Account of Dr. Adam Ferguson, &c.. merous family of the minister of Logierait in Perthshire, where he was born in 1724. After acquiring the rudiments of education at the school of Perth, he removed in 1739 to the university of St. Andrew's, and thence proceeded to Edinburgh. Here he became a member of a small society for literary improvement and philosophical disquisition, in which were enrolled among others, the distinguished names of Robertson, Blair, Home, Carlyle, and Wedderburne, since better known as Lord Loughborough, and Earl of Rosslyn. After passing through his academical studies with great credit, he became in 1745 chaplain to the 42d regiment then recently raised, in which he remained till 1757. On leaving the regiment, he accepted the situation of private tutor in the family of Lord Bute. In this capacity he continued till 1759, when he was appointed to the chair of natural philosophy in the University of Edinburgh, which he exchanged in 1764 for that of moral philosophy. In 1707 he published his "Essay on Civil Society," which obtained for the author a place among the first literati of his country, and the degree of Doctor of Laws. In the same year he married Miss Burnet, a niece of the celebrated Dr. Black. His "In stitutes, or Synopsis of Lectures," published soon afterwards, served as a text book to his pupils, and presented to others a general chart of science preparatory to the particular delineation of human nature and moral philosophy. In 1773, the literary renown of Dr. Ferguson procured for him an applica tion from the friends of Lord Chesterfield, to go abroad with that nobleman as tutor, on a settlement of 200l. per annum for life. After an absence of a year and a half, he returned to the professor's chair. In 1776 Dr. Ferguson answered the tract on Civil and Religious Liberty, by Dr. Price, from whom he differed chiefly on the ground of the inapplicability of his doctrines to society and to imperfect man, as known from experience. In 1778 he was appointed to the honourable post of secretary to the Commissioners sent out for the purpose of offering 269 terms of peace to the Americans, and on the failure of that mission resumed his former functions. The grand work by which the name of Dr. Ferguson will be handed down to posterity, his "Progress and Termination of the Roman Republic," appeared in 1782. Two years afterwards he resigned the chair of moral philosophy, and retired on the salary of the mathematical. He now applied himself to prepare for the press his instructive lectures, which he published in 1793, under the title of "The Principles of Moral and Political Science," and afterwards made a tour in Italy, with a view to collect in the libraries of that country, such materials as might be useful for a new edition of his Roman history, to which he made considerable additions. This was his last literary effort for the public benefit, and indeed his very advanced age justly entitled him to an exemption from farther toils. Dr. Ferguson was not merely a speculative philosopher, but a practical moralist. He was distinguished for integrity, benevolence, and the other qualities of the heart which render the possessor amiable and estimable. Although the salaries of the Edinburgh professors are but small, yet in order to stimulate exertion, his generosity often bestowed gratuitous admission. His income, therefore, was less than it might have been; but a pension from government, together with the returns from his works and other emoluments, rendered him easy in his circumstances, though not opulent. At the Manor House, Hayes, WILLIAM WALKER, esq. lecturer on astronomy, 49. He was the son of Mr. Adam Walker, lecturer in natural and experimental philosophy, and was born at Kendal in Westmorelaud, in 1766. He was educated first at York and afterwards at Eton; but at the age of 16 commenced lecturer on the Edouranion, or transparent orrery, invented by his father. He was the author of "An Epitome of Astronomy, with the New Discoveries," 8vo, 1798, and of some articles in Young's Annals of Agriculture, and Nicholson's Philosophical Journal," 270 Bucks-Cambridge-Cheshire-Cornwall Cumberland.

We know not whether the public prints have libelled the University of Cambridge, or whether the heads of that celebrated seat of science have libelled themselves by fraternizing with the French general Sebastiani, who is said to have been introduced into the Senate House while the Caput was conferring degrees, and to have afterwards dined in the Hall of Trinity College. We are farther told, with the most provoking gravity, that "he is said to be a good Greek and Latin scholar." For a statement of his other accomplishments, we beg leave to refer to the last volume of the Travels of Dr, CLARKE, of this university. The sur chosen for the Museum to be erected at Cambridge, pursuant to the late Lord Viscount Fitzwilliam's will, is to be on a spacious piece of ground contiguous to the new grand wing of King's College, and nearly adjoining to the river Cam.

At the close of the poll on the seventh day the numbers were, for the former 1950; for the latter 1310; when sir Philip declined any farther opposition, at the same time declaring his resolution to come forward on the first occasion against any candidate whatever. During this contest Mr. Curwen was accused by a friend of his opponent, of having an iron beart, and being insensible to the calls of humanity. In refutation of this charge Mr. Curwen stated, among other circumstances, that during the great scarcity of corn he expended 30001, in buying that necessary article, for the purpose of selling it out at a very reduced price; and that 300 children, were, educated at Workington, and 200 at Harrington, at his, sole expense.
