The death of this excellent and admirable woman, can neither be passed over in silence, nor mentioned in the common terms of regret; for there were traits in the character of her goodness, which rendered her virtues remarkable among the virtuous. Her understanding was solid, yet capacious-her heart firm, yet tender; uniting all that is great in man, with all that is endearing in woman. There was in her judgment, sagacity, penetration, energy, and decision; a majesty of intellect, which appeared given by nature for the express purposes of guidance and government; yet such was the compassionate sympathy of her feelings, the considerate kindness of her friendship, and the glowing warmth of her benevolence, that her power was ever grateful to all who owned its influence :-- it sus→ tained and delighted the circle in which she moved. Liberal, hospitable, and charitable, this excellent steward of the gifts of Providence combined economy with munificence, and generosity with prudence Her taste was elegant, her mind enlightened; and, in the variety and activity of her pursuits, there appeared a concentration of wisdom and genius, which, without assuming their names, yet displayed their powers, and awoke admi ration not less than her virtues insured es teem and affection. To the most undeviating integrity and high-souled sense of duty, she 172 Account of the Earl of Buckinghamshire, &c. [March 1, and Infidelity, is some account of the late joined that gentle tenderness, and even play ful kindness, which are so peculiarly engaging in the female character, and which rendered her the charm of youthful society. As a wife and a mother, her conduct was beyond all praise, as her love was beyond all description -it gave zest to the hour of body, who has been at all conversant with joy, soothed the day of sorrow, alleviated the the practice of the courts for the last thirty pangs of sickness, and watched over the bedars, will be ready to bear witness to the of disease, with the skill and kindness, the patience and consolation of a ministering angel. Deeply were all her virtues engraven on the heart of a husband, who needed not the grave to teach him her inestimable worth; who loved and valued her in life, as he laments her in death, but whose sorrows are too sacred for the hand of friendship to unveil, as they are far beyond the power of friendship to heal. abominable falsehood of this assertion: for in truth no judge on the bench in his time, was more patient in attending to the causes that came before him, or more lenient towards the side of mercy in criminal cases. His integrity, indeed, was inflexible; but his disposition was mild and generous to a degree that commanded the esteem an: admiration of the persons best qualified to judge of his merits. In a capital conviction, on which the writer of this note entertained some doubts, he communicated the same to the learned judge, who, instead of taking the interposition amiss, condescended to make particular inquiries into the circumstances, the result of which was, a full persuasion on both sides, that the verdict was just, and the culprit was executed." At Compton Verney, Warwickshire, JOHN PEYTO VERNEY Lord WILLOUGHBY DE BROKE, LL.D. a lord of the King's bedchamber. He was born in 1738 succeeded his uncle Richard, the late lord, in 1752, and married in 1761, Louisa, daughter of Francis, first Earl of Guildford. By this lady, who died in 1798, he had a numerous family of In children, most of whom died in early infancy. The title now devolves to his eldest son John Peyto, born in 1762. In Hamilton-place, ROBERT HOBART, Earl of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, President of the Board of Controul for the Affairs of Indía, Clerk of the Pleas in the Exchequer in Ireland, and a member of the cabinet. His lordship, the eldest son of George, the third earl, was born in 1760, and bred to the military profession. In 1793, he was appointed governor of Madras, and held that situation till 1797. He was called up to the house of peers by writ, as Baron Hobart, in 1798, during the lifetime of his father, whom he succeeded in 1804. In 1801, he was placed in the importan: office of secretary of state for the war department, made a commissioner for the affairs of India, and in 1806 appointed joint post-master general. these various situations, his lordship uniformly proved himself a faithful and up. right minister of the crown: in truth, his country has seldom had to lament the loss of a man more confided in by his sovereign, more honoured by his colleagues, or more respected by all political parties. He married, in 1792, Margaretta, relict of Thomas Adderley, esq. of Innishannon, Ireland, who died in 1796, and by whom he had one daughter (the first wife of the late Lord Gardner); and secondly, the Hon. Eleanor Agnes Eden, daughter of the late Lord Auck land, by whom he had no issue. His lordship's last illness originated in a fall from his horse two or three months ago. He is succeeded by his brother, the Hon. and Rev. Henry Hobart, prebendary of Canterbury, and rector of Chipping Warden, Northamptonshire. At Hayes, in his 83d year, John HEATH, esq. one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas. He was of a highly respectable family at Exeter, and for many years filled the office of town-clerk of that city. He was afterwards called to the degree of sergeant at law, and promoted to the bench in 1780. On the character of this venerable minister of the law, a correspondent has transmitted the following remarks:-" In the last number of the Magazine of Sedition At Richmond, Surrey, RICHARD FITZWILLIAM, viscount and baron FITZWILLIAM, vice-admiral of Leinster. He was born in 1745, succeeded his father in 1776, and having never married, his titles devolve to his next brother, the Honourable John Fitzwilliam. His lordship possessed one of the most valuable cabinet collections of pictures in Europe, more than 10,000 proof prints by the first artists, a very copious library, and a scarce and curious collection of the best ancient music, including several favourite pieces of Queen Elizabeth, and many of the works of Handel, of whom he was an enthusiastic admirer, in the hand-writing of that great master. These valuable collections his lordship has bequeathed to the university of Cambridge, where he pursued his studies, and likewise the sum of 100,000l. stock in the funds, for the purpose of erecting a building for their reception. All his real and personal estates, except the seat of Mount Merrion, near Dublin, he has left to his second cousin the Earl of Pembroke, for life, with remainder to the earl's eldest son by his second wife. Jan. 27, at his house in Queen Square, Bath, aged 02 years, the Right Honourable SAMUEL Viscount Hoop, admiral of the 1816.] Account of Viscount Hood. red squadron of his majesty's fleet, governor of Greenwich hospital, elder brother of the Trinity House, and knight grand cross of the order of the Bath. His lordship was the elder of the two sons (the late Lord Bridport being the younger) of the Rev. Samuel Hood, vicar of Burleigh, in the county of Somerset, He was born in the year 1724, and commenced his naval career in 1740, as midshipman in the Romney, of 64 guns, then commanded by Commodore Thomas Smith, commander in chief on the Newfoundland station. Having distinguished himself in this situation he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in 1746, when Commodore Smith commanded a squadron on the coast of Scotland. Soon after this he was appointed to the Winchelsea frigate of 20 guns, which in the winter of 1746, engaged and captured a French frigate of superior force. During the action, which was very severe, Lieut. Hood was wounded. In 1748, he was removed to the Princess Louisa, then bearing Admiral Watson's flag, in which ship he sailed to Louisbourg. In 1754, he was further promoted to the rank of commander, and appointed to the Jamaica sloop, then stationed at the Bahama Islands; and the year following joined Admiral Keppel in Hampton road, Virginia, who commanded the naval part of the expedition in which General Braddock was defeated. In 1756, having been appointed by Commodore Holmes, his captain in the Grafton, and being present in the action cff Louisbourg, with a French squadron, he returned with him to England at the close of the same year, and found on his arrival that he had been made post during his absence in July, 1756. -Captain Hood having thus passed through the first gradations of his profession, prepared to increase the honours of that rank to which he had been deservedly raised. His first brilliant action was in the Antelope, of 50 guns. In this ship, in 1757, he engaged and totally destroyed in the bay of Audierne, near Brest, a French ship of 50 guns, and 450 men. In the following year, he was appointed to the Vestal frigate, of 32 guns, and in 1759, sailed with Admiral Holmes in the expedition against Quebec. During the remainder of the year 1759, Captain Hood's ship was attached, with other frigates, to Admiral Rodney's fleet, sent to bombard Havre de Grace. He was afterwards employed for two years on the coast of Ireland, and the remaining three years of the war, he served in the Mediterranean under Sir Charles Saunders. After the peace of 1763, Captain Hood hoisted his broad pendant in the Romney, as commander of his majesty's ships on the Boston station, in the year 1768. -In 1778, Captain Hood succeeded the late Admiral Gambier as commissioner of Portsmouth dock yard, and was also created a baronet. In 1780, he was advanced to the rank of rear-admiral of the blue, and in the winter of that year hoisted his flag on board the Barfleur, and soon sailed with a squadron to the West Indies, to join Sir George Rodney, who then commanded in that quarter. The year 1781 was employed in naval manoeuvring with the French fleet under Count de Grasse. We have not room to give a etailed account of the persevering courage and superior seamanship displayed by this brave officer, against the more numerous fleet of the enemy. On the glorious 12th of April, 1782, Sir Samuel Hood had the good fortune to behold the Ville de Paris, Count de Grasse's flag ship, strike to the Barfleur, when the Count surrendered his sword to an enemy whose uncommon merit he was ever ready to acknowledge. This distinguished officer, on this memorable occasion, received a fresh mark of his sovereign's esteem, being created Baron Hood of Catherington, in Ireland. The peace concluded in 1783 suspended for a time the services of the Admiral. In 1784, Lord Hood was elected one of the members for Westminster, and in April, 1786, appointed portadmiral at Portsmouth; in the following year he was made Vice-Admiral of the blue. On the appointment of the Earl of Chatham to be first lord of the Admiralty, Lord Hood took his seat as one of the members of that board; and on the armaments being fitted out against Spain and Russia in 1790 and 1791, his lordship was appointed to the command in chief of squadrons destined for particular services; but the differences with those powers being adjusted before he sailed, he struck his flag on each occasion. On the commencement of the revolutionary war, in 1793, Lord Hood was called forth to command a powerful fleet in the Mediterranean, and in the same year entered into negotiations with the royalists of Toulon and Marseilles for the surrender of the former place, with its forts and the ships of war in the harbours, which accordingly took place in the month of August. His lordship returned to England in 1794, on account of ill health. In 1795, Lord Hood was elected an Elder Brother of the Trinity House, and in April, 1796, on the death of Sir Hugh Palliser, he was appointed Governor of Greenwich Hospital. At the time of his death he was second senior admiral on the list. His Lordship married, in 1749, Susanna, daughter of Edward Linzee, esq. of Portsmouth, which lady was created a peeress of England, by the title of Baroness Hood of Catherington, in 1796. By her he had issue Samuel and Thomas, who both died young, and Henry, who succeeded on the death of his mother to the title of Baron Hood, and who is now on the decease of his father Viscount Hood. At Bath, HENRY HARRINGTON, M.D. an alderman of that city. He was descended 174 Berks-Bucks-Cambridgeshire-Cheshire-Cornwall. from an ancient and honourable family, who long possessed considerable influence and property at Kelston, near Bath, where he was born in 1727. After receiving a suitable education in his father's house, under the tuition of the Rev. Dr. Fothergill, he was entered of Queen's College, Oxford, in 1745. In 1753 he commenced the practice of his profession at Wils, in Somersetshire, but in a few years removed from that place to Bath, where he ever since resided. On quitting the university he married a Miss Musgrave. His eldest son Sir Edward, who adopted the military profession, and was knighted on presenting an address to the King, in his official capacity as chief magistrate of his native city, died some years since. The doctor was particularly attached to the kindred pursuits of poetry and music, and had the honour of being the founder of the Harmonic Society of Bath. In the musical world his name stands deservedly high as a composer, and without being a performer on any instrument he thoroughly understood the science of music. His productions, whether humourous or grave, whether light or sacred, alike display the refined taste [March 1, of a connoisseur, and the powerful concep tion of a master. Perfectly familiar with classical literature, Dr. H. was equalled by few as a general scholar, and his Latin compositions were distinguished by their purity and elegance. Some exquisite specimens in his native tongue prove that he possessed, in no mean degree, the requisites of a poet. In 1769 he published under the title of Nuge Antique, a collection of original papers in prose and verse, written by his ancestors and their correspondents in the 16th and 17th centuries, which in 1775 he enlarged from one to two 8vo. volumes. He also published a Geometrical Demonstration of the indivisibility of the Tri-Unity under the title of "Symbolon Trisagion," and a "Treatise on the, Use and Abuse of Music." In Dublin, JOSHUA ALLEN, Viscount and Baron ALLEN of Stillorgan. His lordship, born in 1728, succeeded his brother John, the late viscount, in 1753, and married, in 1781, Frances, eldest daughter of Gayner Barry, esq. of Dormstown, co. Meath, by whom he had issue Joshua William, his successor, and two daughters. PROVINCIAL OCCURRENCES, IN THE COUNTIES OF ENGLAND, ARRANGED ALPHABETICALLY. BERKSHIRE.

At Exeter, Mr. Robert Trewman, for many years printer and proprietor of the Exeter Flying Post, 49. The uniform mildness of his manners, and respectability of his conduct, gained him, as a public character, numerous and fervent friends; while none could be his enemy without being an enemy to truth; nor were the more endearing ties that united him to the closer connexions of private life less to his honour. He was justly beloved and revered in his family, and by all who had the happiness of his acquaintance. Mr. Trewman was high in civic honours; and would have been chief magistrate next year, had his valuable life been so far prolonged.-The Rev. Wm.
