Suddenly, aged upwards of 70, George Harriot, esq. lately one of the Magistrates of the Thames Police Office. The melancholy circumstances attending the death of Mr. Harriot, who has been so long known as the Chief Magistrate of the Thames Police, have excited the sympathy, not alone of a numerous circle of that gentleman's friends, but of the pub. lick in general, who have had frequent opportunities of appreciating the value of his public services. For the last nine months it appeared that Mr. Harriott had laboured under the malady which finally led to his dissolution. During that period his sufferings were of the most dreadful description; but latter'y, even to his strong mind, they seem to have been beyond endurance. His increasing indisposition about four months back induced him to retire from public business, which, in consequence of his previous long and meritorious exertions, be was allowed to do upon his full pay; and to the day of his death he continued to occupy his house adjoining the Thames Police Office, where he was visited daily by many of the inbabitants of the surrounding parishes, to whom he had endeared himself by his benevolence and urbanity.-The testimony of Mr. Halloway, surgeon, before the Coroner's Jury, proved the direct cause of the death of Mr. Harriott to have origi nated in the disease with which he was af. flicted; and the Jury, after a short consideration, returned a verdict of Natural Death. Of this gentleman we shall give

some memoirs in our next.

Sir Charles Cave, bart. who succeeded his nephew in the title, and died in 1810, the last male representative, in a direct line, of this antient and respectable family, of which there are several collateral branches. The first-mentioned Sir Thomas Cave was elected M. P. for the county of Leicester in four successive Parliaments; and was much esteem. ed for the general benevolence of his character, and for his intellectual endow. ments. Among other public acts of his life he was chairman of the Committee of the Gentlemen of Northamptonshire, who conducted Mr. Bridges's valuable History of that County through the press; and had himself largely collected, both by the purchase of MSS. and by his own visita

tions, for the County of Leicester; all which were liberally presented by the two last Baronets to Mr. Nichols, by whom they were incorporated with the ample collections of Staveley Carte, Peck, and Farmer, in his elaborate History of that County.

P. for Leicestershire in 1790; married Lady Lucy Sherard, daughter of Robert fourth Eart of Harborough (since remarried to the Hon Paip Pusey); he dying without issue, the title devolved on his uncle Sir Charles; but the principal part of the estates of that antient and respectable family passed, by the marriage of his only sister, to Henry Otway, esq.-Stanford Hall is a delight fully sequestered residence, situate on the confines of the two counties of Leicester and Northampton.

IN the Obituary of your Magazine for

November last, p. 470, it is stated that Sir William Blackert, bart. of Matson Hall, co Northumberland, and of Thorpe Lee, Surrey, died on the 27th of October, at Westoe Lodge, co. Cambridge, aged twelve years, being born in 1806.Now the fact is, that he was in his 58th year at the time of his decease. He has left a widow and six children, the eldest of whom, the present Baronet, will be twelve years of age in the ensuing mouth.

By rectifying this mistake you will oblige one who is nearly connected with this family.
