He was born December 31st, 1738, succeeded his father Charles, the late Earl, June 23d, 1762, and is succeeded by his only son, Charles, Viscount Brome, (who married Louisa, daugh ter of the Duke of Gordon,) now Marquis Cornwallis.

His Lordship sailed from England in April last, in the Medusa frigate, to take upon him the Government of the extensive territories of the East India Company, being appointed successor to the Marquis Wellesley, who had resigned the government, after eight years of arduous service. Lordship arrived, after a very fortunate voyage, on the 30th of July, at Calcutta, and immediately assumed the Government.

His

His Lordship's death was not occasioned by any particular disease. He was far from well when arrived; but thinking that the aspect of affairs in th Upper Provinces demanded his immediate presence, instead of waiting until he should recover from the effects of his voyage, he set out on the 7th of August, by water, to take the personal command of the army. By being confined in a boat, he was preven ted from taking his usual exercise, and this circumstance, aided by the great heat of the weather, had the effect of depriving him of his appetite. The consequence was, that he was reduced to extreme debility, which daily increased. He, however, still pro. ceeded forward, but was at last obliged to be put-a-shore at a place called Ghazeepore, about 6c0 miles above Calcutta, where he expired, to the infinite regret of the whole Indian community.

- At Litchfield, at an advanced age, Andrew Newton, Esq. brother of the late pious and learned Bishop Newton. His property, which was considerable, was employed to a liberal extent in private acts of charity and beneficence. The noble institution which he founded and endowed some years ago, at Litchfield, for Widows of Clergymen (and for their unmarried daughters above the age of 50), will distinguish his name and perpetuate his memory. He enjoyed a gratification which charity has seldom ventured to taste, and affluence has seldom lived long enough to afford; he gave, for the purpose above-mentioned, 20,000l. during his own life.

30. At Edinburgh, suddenly, while transacting business in his office, Alex. Thomson, Esq. Deputy Cashier of Excise, greatly regreted.

He fought afterwards under Lord Nelson at Copenhagen, but never recovered from. the fatigues of that memorable engagement.

11. At London, in his 75th year, Mr Thomas King, the celebrated comedian. He first appeared at Drury Lane Theatre, in 1748, having exchanged the attorney's quill for the tragic truncheon. His first essays being passed over without notice, and the characters in his view being preoccupied by veteran performers, he repaired to Bath, and afterwards to Ireland, where he rapidly accomplished himself in his profession. He was recalled to Drury 1 ane Stage in the year 1759, where he was received as one of the first comic performers of the day. For forty years he was then constantly before the public, and the favourite Toм KING ever continued to meet with high and deserved approbation.-Those who recollect his Lord Ogleby, Sir Peter Teazle, Tom, Brass, and Lissardo, must acknowledge he had no rival in those parts. He was a proprietor of the Bristol Theatre, and of Sadler's Wells, both gaining concerns; but unfortunately his daily industry experienced sad defalcations from his nightly hazard!-He was manager of Drury-Lane Theatre for six years, during which he acquitted himself with great credit; but on some difference between him and the proprietors in 1788, he relinquished that situation, and finally quitted the stage

ia

1801. In private life he was full of whim, anecdote, and pleasantry; and his general conduct bore, even on the most trying occasions, the stamp of the strictest integrity.

20. At Edinburgh, after a short illness, Mrs Duff, wife of Lieut. Col. James Duff, of the Inverness-shire Militia, daughter of Lady Louisa Manners, and sister to the Duchess of St Albans and Lady Heathcote. The example of a person cut off so suddenIy, in all the bloom of beauty, and in the prime of youth, would alone excite sensa

tions of deep concern; but, when to that description we have to add the most polished urbanity of manners, the most excellent heart, and a disposition the most active in fulfilling all the charities' of life, the sorrow for her loss must be profound in the breasts of all who knew her.

A fever of unexampled rapidity, which never for a moment yielded to the efforts of the most skilful physicians, deprived society of one so highly qualified to be its ornament and boast.

21. At Dryden, the Rev. Archibald Scot, minister of Pettinain, son of the Rev. James Scot, D. D. minister of Carluke. Few men have met so early a fate, possessed of more varied accomplishments, more inflexible integrity, more ardent and pure affections.

28. At his seat at Muntham, in Sussex, aged 84, William Frankland, Esq. the only surviving brother of the late Admiral Sir Thomas Frankland of Thirleby Park, near Thirsk, Yorkshire. The early part of his life was actively employed in the East Indies, and in travels through Arabia and the Holy Land; but in his latter years his habits were recluse and studious, and his attentions principally directed to improvements in science, and the application of mechanics to the purposes of manufactures.

30. At London, Mrs Skene, of Scotlandyard, wife of G. Skene, Esq. chief clerk of the Police-Office, after languishing for a fortnight in the most severe pain. It appeared, that on the 14th of Dec. the deceased went to meet her daughter on her return from Scotland, and accompanied her home to her house in Scotland-yard-They sat together till a late hour at night, when the daughter retired to rest, but in a short time was awakened by the shrieks of her mother, whom she found in a blaze of fire, her cap having taken fire and communicated to her clothes. Miss Skene did every thing in her power, by putting blankets over her to extinguish the flames, but it was too late, the vital parts being affected, and a mortification afterwards took place in her right arm.

Jan. 2. At Edinburgh, aged 81, Miss Mary Stewart, daughter of the late George Stewart of Tannachy, Esq.

Earl Temple, and of the celebrated George Grenville, and aunt to the present Marquis of Buckingham, and Lord Grenville. He was born at Hayes, in Kent, on the 28th of May, 1759. He was never married

The death of this great man is deeply lamented by men of all parties. In a nation of freemen, where talent is appreciated, where it has its usefulness and its scope, the decease of eminent ability must always be regretted. But when to a commanding genius are joined the powers of a cultivated mind, supported and enhanced by purity of principle, and by unsullied integrity, no narrow bounds can be prescribed to the measure of our grief.

To the transcendant abilities and the unblemished integrity of Mr Pitt, the most bitter of his political opponents have ever borne testimony. In his death, these islands have sustained a grievous, an irreparable loss, while civilized Europe has to mourn her boast and ornament. His conduct as a statesman, orator, financier, the aggregate of 20 years devotion of all his mind, all his strength, and all his soul, to the interests and prosperity of his country, are engraven in the grateful recollection of his country. He will be recognized by future generations as the founder of the United Kingdoms; he will be hailed as a man who had foresight and firmness enough in clamorous and burdensome times, steadily to provide for the extinguishing of our debt from its own increase; he will be ve nerated by our children, as the guardian spirit that stood between us and the horrors of revolution and anarchy; while in succeeding times it will even be held honourable to have lived in the age and country which he adorned and protected.

His death was remarkably sudden. He was taken ill while walking on the street, and was carried home, where he expired in half an hour after without a groan. His funeral was accompanied to his burial place in the Canongate church-yard, by all the Judges, and a number of private gentle. men, who occupied no less than forty carriages.

31. At Bowling Bay, much regretted, Mr Walter Colquhoun, Collector of Canal Duties there.
