The tears of the widows, orphans, and poor of Kingswood, to whom her heart and her house were ever open, speak louder than any testimonies of her friends, and painfully prove the very serious loss they have sustained. At his house at Twickenham, after a long and severe illness, in his 76th year, George Brooks, esq. of Chancery-lane, banker, who employed a long life in the active discharge of his duty to God and man; a pious and faithful servant of Christ; a kind and affectionate husband, father, and friend; a man of strict honour and integrity, of a clear and sound judgment, a liberal and humane disposition.

He was born at Nice May 8, 1758. After having served three years at sea, in his youth he entered the army of France in 1775, being at. tached to the Royal Italian regiment, in which he had an uncle a captain. He be came, successively, chief of the 2d battallion of the Var, colonel of the ci-devant regiment of the Sarre, general of brigade and division in 1793. He already, in 1794, enjoyed the command of a corps of 20,000 men, destined to the expedition against Oneille and the siege of Saorgio. He commanded there constantly the ad vanced guard of the army of Italy, took a principal share in all the great affairs of that army, and acquired the name of the favourite child of Victory. Hostilities having recommenced in 1799, he conducted, in quality of General in Chief of the army of the Donake, that memorable campaign of Switzerland, which the battle of Zurich rendered so decisive and so glorious: 70,000 prisoners were the frui's of this campaign, where he had to contend against two great captains, Prince Charles and Marshal Suwarroff. He immediately afterwards assumed the command of the wreck of the army of Italy in the campaign of 1805; and at its head penetrated into Germany. He was afterwards charged with the conquest of the kingdom of Naples, and subsequently sent to Poland, whence he returned to France at the peace of Tilsit.-The war called him again into Germany in 1809. There, after several honourable combats, he received, in the plains of Esling, the title of Prince, after ́ having sustained the shock of the enemy's right, and saved the French army by his able conduct and invincible courage. He afterwards acted a brilliant part in the battle of Wagram, in which he was seen, though sick and suffering, advancing at the head of his troops, and animating them by his example. He ended his military career by the command of the army of Portugal in 1810 and 1811. He here displayed anew the firmness of his character in the midst of difficulties of all kinds with which he was surrounded, and which he had to surmount. He has left behind, inconsolable at his loss, a wi dow, two sons, and a daughter married to Lt.-gen. Count Rielle, his pupil, his first aid-du-camp from 1793.-Moniteur. April 5. In his 81st year, Wm.

After a long and most painful illness, John Elwes, esq. of Fingest Grove, co. Bucks, and Portman square, London. He was one of the two sons of the late muchrespected member for Berks, whose eminent and singular nobleness of mind, as well as his immense property, he jointly with bis brother inherited. And here we cannot but notice the ungrateful and unjust history of his life which was published. Ungrateful, we say, because the author was entirely bred up, protected, and fed at his table: and unjust, because his many virtues were unnoticed. The few foibles of his patron were exaggerated, which a generous and independent mind would have committed with his body to the grave. The gentleman, whose death we deplore, died as he lived,-planning and promoting the welfare and happiness of others. His bequests of charity, therefore, are many and great. To all his old and faithful domestics, independencies for life; to his acquaintances and friends, tokens of regard and friendship; and as every honest man who has property to dispose of ought to do, he has given and bequeathed the whole of his immense property (after paying all legacies and charitable bequests to the different parishes in which he had property), to his two children, to the amount, as is supposed, of 500,0007. and upwards! At Bath, aged 67, Mrs. Susanna Young, daughter of the late Adm. Young. At Lincoln, advanced in years, J. Hayward, esq. Mayor of that city. He served the office of Mayor in 1807, and again in 1816.

Massingberd, rector of that parish, and prebendary of Lincoln. April April 15. At Bath, in his 75d year, Rt. Hon. Sir A. Thomson, Lord Chief Justice of his Majesty's Court of Exchequer. He was in point of years the Father of the Bench, having sat as one of the Judges many years longer than any of its present occupants. His reputation as a Judge was of the highest order, in point of legal knowledge, of perspicuity, and strict integrity of decision.-A few years back the longevity of our judges was proverbial, and a vacancy on the bench was a rare occurrence. Death, however, has lately made a great sweep in a quarter which he had previously so much spared. He has taken away not only Heath, Rooke, Grose, Ashhurst, and others of the old school, and lastly, Chief Baron Thomson; but also made free with their junior brethren before their ermine had lost its freshness. Chief Baron Thomson was the intimate friend of Lord Thurlow, by whom his talents were highly esteemed. April 17. In Langham-place, William Price, esq. formerly Equerry to the King, and Vice Chamberlain to the Queen. April 18. At Mauldslie Castle, in his 60th year, the Right hon. Thomas Carmichael, Earl of Hyndford. He succeeded his cousin James in the Earldom, Dec. 21, 1787. The greater part of his time was devoted to agricultural pursuits at Westra, and to the embellishment of his princely seat at Mauldslie. He was one of the most skilful farmers in a district particularly distinguished for the excellence of its farming. Mauldslie, his patrimonial inheritance, is now separated from the Hyndford estate. It has fallen to his Lordship's sister, Mrs. Nisbet of Carfin. Sir John Anstruther, bart. succeeds to the entailed estate. The title is extinct. April 20. After a short illness, Mrs. Tegart, wife of Arthur Tegart, esq. of Pall Mall, deeply lamented by her surviving family and friends. In Litchfield-street, Soho, Mr. Andrew Thompson, aged 72. April 22. At his friends at Worcester, in the bloom of life, after a severe illness during many months of a pulmonary disease, to the sincere regret of his acquaintance, and the heartfelt affliction of his young family and relatives, the Rev. John Wall, M. A. rector of Quat Wolstaston and Stoke St. Milburgh, co, Salop, younger son of the late Col. Wall of Tewkesbury Lodge, co. Gloucester, and grandson of the late celebrated and truly benevolent John Wall, late of Worcester, M. D. At Ashted, near Birmingham, in his 68th year, Mr. Francis Wheeley. P. 189, a. The late Francis Gosling, Esq. was a character whose definition is comprehended in "Humani Generis Decus." The Gentleman and the Scholar, of refined, elegant, suavity of manners; of liberality of heart and hand, of diffusive charity to an extent proverbial. Thus shone his character expanded to the world. In his domestic scene, the sacred depôt of tender and endearing sensibilities, he was the perfection of example, conjugal and paternal. The lenient hand of Time can alone be looked to to sooth the affliction of that suffering circle. They have, however, to enjoy in alleviation the Epicurism in reflection, that his memory and meritorious deeds will be perennially vital.-When such a man is called to Heaven by the fiat of his Maker, he leaves a void on earth rarely ever filled by commensurate aggregate of moral virtues.
