18. At Windsor Castle, the right rev. Dr. Douglas, lord bishop of Salisbury, and chancellor of the or der of the garter, in his 85th year. This venerable prelate was one of the first literary characters of the age, and the last surviving member, except Mr. Cumberland, of the Beef Steak club, celebrated by Dr. Goldsmith, in his poem of Retaliation

"And Douglas is padding, substantial and plain."

He was at that time canon of Windsor. The literary talents of bishop Douglas were first evinced in detecting the attempt of Lauder to depreciate the merits of Milton. He vindicated the originality of our illustrious bard, and covered hi opponent with confusion. His next performance possessed such merit, as highly to recommend his character, both as a literary man and an advocate, a judicious advo

cate for revealed religion. It was intitled The Criterion; in answer to Mr. Hume's Essay on Miracles. He succeeded Dr. Law in the bishopric of Carlisle, in 1783, and, upon the translation of Dr. Bar. rington to the see of Durham, was appointed his successor. The lords of the Admiralty requested bishop Douglas to superintend the splendid edition of Cook's Voyages, which his lordship executed with uncommon judgment. The death of this bulwark of our church-of a prelate so firmly attached to our ecclesiastical constitution, is a subject deeply to be lamented. The church has lost one of its firmest pillars-the republic of letters, one of its brightest ornaments-society, one of its best friends-literary men in distress, a generous patron-the poor of all descriptions, a father. To sum up, in a very imperfect man. ner, his lordship's character-he was one who, like the illustrious Titus Vespasian, thought he had lost a day, when he had not performed a good action.

ter of the third duke of Devonshire, by whom he has left two children; the countess of Bandon, and viscount Boyle, now earl of Shannon Before the union, no man possessed greater parliamentary interest than the earl of Shannon; insomuch, that no vicc-regent felt easy on his throne, until he had secured his lordship's friendship, who was considered a sound politician, but no

orator.

By honest industry he supported a large family, and for the last thirty years had been in the constant habit of appropriating the profits of four hours labour every day to the use of the poor. Whenever this singu lar character felt disposed to yield a to the ebullitions of anger, or the murmurings of discontent, it was his constant practice to retire into a private apartment, where he kept for the purpose a coffin, in which he used to remain till he had sub. dued the irregularity of his passions by the efforts of his reason.

June 1. Suddenly, William Kitchener, esq. of Bunhill-row, Finsbury-square. He was seized with an apoplectic affection, and expired in the course of a few hours, leaving his relatives and numerous friends to lament a loss not easily repaired. He was a man whose excellent qualities fully entitled him to that respect which was constantly paid to his character. In him were centered all those virtues which embellish social life and adorn the human heart. Humanity, generosity, benevolence, were engrafted on the most amiable disposition; and among his numerous acts of bene. ficence, those were not the least in value which were least known, Nor must this be deemed the lan. guage of extravagant panegyricthose who were acquainted with

him will readily bear testimony to its truth.

At Hitchin, Herts, James Whittingstall, esq.

Nicholas Bond, esq. of the Pub. lic-office, Bow-street, aged 64. His character is thus drawn by one who appears to have known him well:

"He was an active, vigilant, and able magistrate. Initiated in the school of the celebrated sir John Fielding, he possessed, in an un. common degree, the best qualities of his master. Endowed with a good natural understanding, his legal knowledge and sound judgment were eminently conspicuous. He was a warm and zealous friend ; had the affections of the mind with the glow of sincerity; and with those whom he respected and loved, could unbend to the free participa. tion of the social virtues. Always befriending the honest poor in opposition to the tyrannic rich, the former viewed him with admiration and gratitude. In his professional pursuits, his memory was surprizingly tenacious, never forgetting a circumstance that was worthy of remembrance. His conversation was therefore fertile in anecdotes ; and his life filled a great space in the eye of the public. A stranger to the refinements of the world, he was simple and unaffected in his man. ners; and although the spirit and

004

even

even austerity of his conduct, might to some men appear censurable, yet they were by no means unbecoming the character or deportment of an upright magistrate. In cases of a common or trivial nature, he at times seemed to eyince a laxity of attention; but although he might be supposed to slumber over what was unworthy of the exercise of his great powers, yet justice was never asleep. With an excellent fund of manly eloquence, with a mind for. cible and vehement, when roused into an extraordinary display of his penetrating vigour, he shone most when combating the subtleties or genius of a counsel for a prisoner. Thus, in the words of a distin. guished actor, like a great performer on the stage, he reserved himself, as it were for the last act, and after he had played his part with dignity, resolved to finish it with honour." 3. Lieutenant-colonel John-Harris Cruser.

4. At Cheltenham, suddenly, captain Lawrence Bruce, of Isling ton.

Aged 46, Mr. Robert Butler, editor and proprietor of the Blackburn Mail.

5. Sir Boyle Roche, created an Irish baronet November 30th, 1782. He was the descendant of a respectable family, said to be a ju. nior branch of the ancient baronial family of Roche, viscount Fermoy. He entered carly into the military service, and distinguished himself in America, particularly at the taking of the Moro Fort, at the Ha vannah. On leaving the army he obtained a seat in parliament, where he was constantly in his place; and we have heard it stated, that, such was his humour and drollery, he could at any time change the

temper of the house. Through his pleasant interference, the most an, gry debates have frequently concluded with peals of laughter. Sir Boyle Roche was master of the ce remonies at Dublin castle, where he was beloved and admired for his po. liteness and urbanity. He married Mary, the eldest daughter of admi, ral sir Thomas Frankland, bart. but had no issue, He died at his house in Eccles-street, Dublin.

At York, aged 69, Mr. John Blanchard, brother to Mr. W. Blanchard, proprietor of the York Chronicle, and father to Mr. Blanchard, of the theatre royal, Covent-garden: making the third death in that family within a month. At Baynton Hall, Wilts, in his 73d year, William Long, esq.
