tleman, firmly attached to our glorious Constitution in Church, and State, and always anxiously wishing his powerful interest in the Borough of Shrewsbury should tend to its support. RICHARD LOVELL EDGEWORTH, ESQ. June 13. At Edgeworth's-Town, aged 74, Richard-Loveli Edgeworth, esq. author of many interesting works, well known in every part of the civilized world as a philanthropist and practical philosopher; and father of Miss Edgeworth, whose genius has augmented the literary reputation of the age. His gentleness, affection, and fear of giving trouble, continued till the last moment of his existence; and he was perfectly master of his mind till it quitted his body for ever. He died as easily and as happily as possible, his understanding being clear and bright, and his affections strong to the last. The day before he died, he said, "I leave this world with the soft sentiment of gratis tude to my friends, and of submission to the God who made me." He was formerly a Member of the Irish Parliament, aud distinguished himself by his warm attachment to the interests of Ireland, and by his opposition to what he looked upon as abuses of the administration. His labours in perfecting several mechanical inventions, in reducing to a science the construction of roads and wheel-carriages, and in spreading improvements, agricultural and social, through his neighbourhood, were incessant, and crowned with success. He was also the author of many valuable papers in the transactions of the Royal Irish Academy, and other Dublin societies; and of many interesting papers spread through the series of the Monthly Magazine; and he published at different times the following works:-Rational Primer; Harry and Lucy, part I.; Explanations of Poetry; Readings on Poetry; Essays on Practical Education (by Mr. and Miss Edgeworth), 2 vols.; Professional Education; Essay on Buils (by Mr. and Miss Edgeworth); Letter to Lord Charlemont on the Telegraph; Speeches in Parliament; and an Essay on the Construction of Roads and Carriages. He was four times married: once to Miss Ellers, the mother of Miss Edgeworth; secondly, to Honoria Sneyd; thirdly, to her sister, Elizabeth Sneyd; and fourthly, to Miss Beaufort, daughter of the Rev. Dr. Beaufort, who survives him. He bas left children by each of these ladies; and, as no man could be more devoted to his family, or more beloved by them, so the state of affliction in which his death has left them, can only be conceived by those who were intimately acquainted with the domestic happiness which resulted from his amiable character, REV. JOHN LAND, M. A. April 17. In his 74th year, the Rev. John Land, rector of Hemyock, within the archdeaconry of Exeter. As long as classic taste, varied erudition, and sound Divinity are held in estimation, the me mory of Mr. Land will be beloved and venerated. Mr. Land was the son of a very worthy clergyman, the Rev. Tristram Land, vicar of Brent and Furneaux Pelham. After having passed through Merchant Taylors' School with much credit, he succeeded to a fellowship in St. John's college in Oxford. During his residence in the University he was caressed by men of distinction, especially those who, like himself, successfully cultivated the Fine Arts. A more active pursuit, however, soon called Mr. Land from the University, for he undertook the arduous duties of lecturer and curate of St. Magnus the Martyr, which he discharged for some years, much beloved and esteemed by his parishioners. He left London, on obtaining the rectory of Hemyock, in 1775. The duties of the pastoral life now demanded his constant care: whatsoever he undertook be entered upon with zeal, and performed with effect. The refined pur suits of the University, and the full tide of existence, as it dowed around him in the metropolis, were now exchanged for the improvement of moral and religious sentiments, in a populous, and not then very enlightened parish. Men of acquire. ments like Mr. Land's were but spar ingly scattered over the neighbourhood of his new residence; yet his search was not altogether unsuccessful, for he knew well how to select and to preserve those whose sentiments harmonized with his own. also preserved a very considerable intercourse with the Literary World, by ob. taining from the London and Bath Libraries the valuable productions of the day. He The object of the writer of this Sketch is to give to men of the rising generation, and especially to such as are intended for the Church, a model for the due distribution of time. Instead of reading through a great portion of the night, and thereby sacrificing to sleep a considerable part of the day, Mr. Land rose at a very early hour, "to indulge (to use his own term) with his Greek and Roman friends." He read part of the best Classics every morning; but his greatest delight was in the devo tional study of the Greek Testament. High in spirits, and full of information, he met his family at the breakfast table, from which time he dedicated the day to the active duties of his people, or in acts of friendly intercourse. Thus did he combine, as it were, two valuable lives in one; and was able to afford the most de licate and assiduous attentions to the invalid and literary object of his affections. When the moderation of his rents was pointed out to him, he used to reply, that, had he been blessed with children he must have acted differently, but now his people were his family. He was, indeed, both their spiritual and temporal benefactor; the comfort of the sick, and the consolation of the wounded spirit. He was a most able defender of the doctrine and discipline of the Church of England; evineing, at the same time, the most delicate sentiments as to religious liberty. He always argued with the greatest candour, and was never heard to mix acrimony with disputation: he was playful in his language, but serious in his positions. An extraordinary portion of valuable anecdote and classic illustration enriched his familiar and instructing conversation. It was most interesting to witness the manner in which he passed the last three weeks of his life. There was to him no sting in death, he welcomed it with a visible joy; and this not to escape from a world which offered him no happiness; for he said to the last, "his cup had been always full of blessings." The true reason, however, was, the fear of losing his faculties, and becoming a burthen to himself and others, of which, from the nature of his complaint, he was in constant apprehension. But in this, as in every event of his long life, he was particularly and highly favoured, as the last stroke restored what the former had in a small measure impaired a very singular termination of paralytic affection. "Multis ille bonis flebilis occidit." In the year 1770 he married Anne the daughter of James-Stuart Tulk, esq. by whom he had one son, who died in his infancy. DEATHS. 1816.

A very short time since, he celebrated, in very animated animated verses, the battle of Fontenoy, at which he was present as an officer of ordnance, under the command of Marshal Saxe. He wrote several fugitive pieces of poetry, and two tragedies, entitled "Amalazonte,' and "Epicharis." Voltaire praised many of the verses in this latter work. The venerable Marquis was not a Member of the Academy. At Nice, in Piedmont, Rachel, daughter of Joseph Gurney, esq. of Lakenham Grove, Norfolk. June 2.

At Smedmore House, Dorset, suddenly, aged 62, William Claveli, esq.' whose house was the abode of hospitality, and whose charities to the poor were un bounded. This gentleman was the eldest son of William Richards, esq. by Margaret, daughter of Edward' Clavell, of Smedmore, esq. whose family have been seated there since the reign of Edward the Fourth. The late Mr. Clavell took the name and arms of Clavell by his Majesty's royal license and authority; and served the of fice of High Sheriff of the county of Dorset in 1797. Mr. Clavell married in the same year Sophia, daughter of Col. Bingham, of the Dorsetshire Militia, but we believe has left no issue. A good view of Mr. Clavell's elegant seat at Smedmore, delightfally situated on the shores of the Isle of Purbeck, was contributed by its worthy owner, to the new edition of Hutchins's "History of Dorsetshire." At Clifton, Alexander Longlands, esq. June 16. At Knowsley, Right Hon. Lady Stanley. June 17 Of an atrophy, which for many years gradually assailed the digestive system, died, in the hope of a blessed June 7. At Clifton, Rev. William Fara- eternity, Fanny, the beloved wife of day, of Birmingham. At Hull, aged 36, Mr. W. H. Ward, surgeon, late of Epworth, Lincolnshire, and formerly of Hull. James Ross, of Saint Martin's, Worcester; who for prudence, temperance, patience, fortitude, uncommon sensibility, and every Christian virtue, bas, perhaps, left few superiors. A rare example! Constant in her attention to the exercise of her religious duties, in her own parish Church, for more than 42 years, the term of her matrimonial union,she paid her devotions to her God, and professed her faith in Christ; the best title to the sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life. Blessed with an only child, born alive (for she had others still-born), and that a son who died in his infancy, maternal sorrow for some years emaciated her delicate frame; but at At Arbroath, Mr. David Braick, student of Divinity. Besides several legacies to his friends and acquaintances, he bas bequeathed 1007. to the poor of the parish of Arbroath; 501. to the Indigent Sick Society; and 50%. to a fund for an assistant Minister. He has likewise left to the Subscription Library a collection of valuable books, with this restriction, that all students in divinity in the town and neighbourhood, shall have the use of the said books gratis. June 8. In his 69th year, Rev. Alexander Macadam, minister of Nigg, Ross-length gave way to the pious resignation shire. June 9. At Brechin, in his 80th year, J. Lowe, M.D. June 11. At Oakly, co. Down, Hon. and Very Rev. William Annesley, Dean of Down, fourth son of William, first Viscount Glerawly. of the Christian: while her domestic concerns were managed with exemplary frugality and moderation. Can her sincere altachment ever be forgotten by him who, in her last intervals of reason, received the assurance that the sting of death to her was the parting from him; for concerning cerning her hope of eternal life she was not afraid to die? She did not trust her salvation to the procrastinated and perilous issue of a death-bed repentance, for ber life was a continued series of moral and religious practices; never censorious on the frailties of others, but ever rejoicing at the recovery of a lost sheep, and affable in her deportment to all. Confined to her bed about a month, though no hope could be entertained of her recovery, her dissolution was unexpectedly sudden; but her lamp was trimmed, and she expired without a groan. "Pardon!" was the last word she ever spoke in this world, which she pronounced with joined hands, such pious solemnity, and such a petitioning eye to Heaven, as the eyes of the be. holders never before beheld, and which could not, would not, be rejected! Her inconsolable survivor, who kissed the last breath from her lips that gave up her soul to God, unwilling that so much virtue should pass in silence to the grave, after having religiously discharged every mournful duty, pays this eulogy as the last tribute of affection to the memory of a faithful wife and most endearing companion; conscious that all his earthly comforts are lost in her and utterly extinguished. At Portsmouth, Jn. Godwin, esq. banker. At the Lodge, Malton, Yorkshire, aged 46, S. H. Copperthwaite, esq. agent to Earl Fitzwilliam. He served the office of Sheriff of the City of York in the year 1815.

In his 33d year, Lieut.-col. Flaker, son-in-law of the late Gen. Lloyd. At Dumfries, Eleanor, wife of Rev. J. Kirkpatrick. June 19. In his 828 year, Charles Digby, esq. of London Fields, Hackney. At Hampton, in his 75th year, T. Chadwick, esq. At Cheltenham, in his 65th year, William Walter Viney, esq. of Gerrard's Cross, Bucks. At Abingdon, aged 49, Mr. Johu Miller, solicitor. The esteem in which he was justly held was most fully shewn by the attendance of a very numerous circle of friends at his funeral. At the time of bis death he was Lieutenant of the Abingdon troop of cavalry, who, as a testimony of their respect and esteem, also attended his remains to the grave. Caroline Rainhardina, eldest daughter of the Rev. D. Evans, rector of Llanvigan, Breconshire. This melancholy event occurred in passing a ford, in consequence of the horse on which she rode in company with her father, getting its feet entangled in the concealed root of a tree, by which the animal was thrown down, and both were precipitated into the water. Mr. Evans was providentially saved, but his daughter unhappily perished. June 20. At Bath, in her 79th year, Mrs. Susan Franklyn, At Leamington, aged 70, Mrs. Darvall, relict of Roger Darvall, esq. formerly of the East India Company's civil service. At Plymouth, in the prime of life, Capt. Nathaniel Cooper, late of Bristol. At Prees, in Shropshire, aged 75, T. Hill, esq. third son of the late Sir Rowland Hill, bart, of Hawkstone Park, and uncle of the present Lord Hill. Suddenly, at the Leeds Theatre, while performing the character of Dumont, in Jane Shore, Mr. Cummins, who had held an elevated rank in the York Company for nearly half a century. He had for some time laboured under ossification of the heart; and to this circumstance, added to the strength of his feelings in the mimic scene, his death is to be attributed. The shock inflicted upon the feelings of the audience soon spread throughout the town; and so general a tribute to departed worth has seldom been witnessed. In Dublin, in his 44th year, William P. Lefanu, esq. M. R. I. A. June 21. In Brunswick-square, John Jones, esq. In Berwick Place, Grange Road, Bermoudsey, aged 65, James Moore, esq. At Brighton, George Leith, esq. of Overhall, Aberdeenshire, and of Bladud'sbuildings, Bath. Paying a morning visit at the house of R. Aberdein, esq. of Eaststreet, he fell from his chair, and expired. Aged 50, J. T. Brown, esq. of Batb. Of hydrophobia, Mr. William Clarke, cattle-doctor, of Wyberton, near Boston. Ten weeks ago he was severely bitten just about the heel, by a strange dog on the public road, near his place of residence. Suspicion being entertained that the animal was mad, medical advice was resorted to: the wound healed, and Mr. Clarke remained in apparent good health till Thursday the 19th, when he complained of a pain in his leg; and on the next day strongly manifested the characteristic and dreadful symptoms of hydrophobia, which increased in violence till the following Saturday night, when he expired. June 22. At the Vicarage, Greatham, near Hartlepool, deeply regretted, aged 57, Mary, second daughter of the Rev. Richard Brewster, M. A, formerly Vicar of Heighington, in the county of Durham, and lecturer of St. Thomas's and of St. Anne's Chapels, in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Though the language of panegyric should rarely be trusted on the first impression of sorrow, a character of active piety, dis interested benevolence, and pure religion, such as is justly attributable to the excellent female female here deplored, should not pass -away in mournful silence. In a feeble frame, she possessed a cultivated mind, a strong understanding, and a warm heart; her judgment was sound, and her deportment always cheerful. The last quality indeed was only the expression of that uniform principle of Christian faith, which was so deeply rooted in her breast as to influence and illumine every period and every action of her life. It will readily be believed that a character thus formed on "the doctrine of God our Saviour," afforded abundant materials of happiness to herself, and the amiable diffusion of that happiness to all around her. Those who knew her best have most reason to deplore her loss: but those who knew her best have, at the same time, most reason for consolation, in the assurance, that those who sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. On board H. M. S. Florida, on the Yarmouth station, after an illness of two days, occasioned by bathing after severe exercise ashore, the preceding Thursday, in his 22d year, Mr. Charles Philpot, eldest son of the Rev. C. Philpot, rector of Ripple, near Deal. He was an Admiralty Midshipman, had served eight years, five of them on foreign statious, and has left behind him a most exemplary character. Devotedly attached to his profession, he was diligent and active in the discharge of its duties and discipline, and exhibited in his whole conduct those traits and rudiments, which develope themselves in the great and good officer. He was, besides, of a most conciliating temper, and cheerful disposition, with the utmost kindness and affability of manners, and was universally beloved by his comrades and companions. For attention and humanity to the seamen he was particularly distinguished; and in the winter of 1815, when off Gibraltar, leaped from the deck of the Calypso to the rescue of an unfortunate marine, who had fallen overboard. loss of this amiable youth was deeply felt, and when he was lowered down into the boat, which received his remains, not a dry eye was seen in the ship. The In Chesterfield-street, May Fair, William Cecil Chambers, esq. At Edmonton, Mrs. Hammond, widow of the late Mr. Thos. Hammond, surgeon. At Goosey, near Wantage, aged 61, Laurence Spicer, esq. June 23. At the house of her daughter, Mrs. Collius, Montague-square, in her 75th year, Mrs. Wrangham, widow of the late William Wrangham, esq. At her son's, the Rev.

A.; who had been 45 years Minister of St. Mary the Virgin, at Dover. He was a writer of some notoriety on the subject of Electricity; and a strenuous advocate in favour of the permea bility of glass to electricity, and against the direction of the electric fluid to negatively electrified bodies. His publications were, "Experiments and Observations in Electricity," 1780, 4to.-" Farther proofs that glass is permeable by the Electric Effluvia," 1781, 4to."
