Much lamented, Mr. G. Venables, an old inhabitant of the Tower. Since his retirement from business, during a space of 30 years, the principal part of his time has been devoted to the exercise of charitable pursuits: to him the sufferings of distress were never recited in vain, the habitations of poverty were by him frequently explored, and the afflicted, as far as restricted means would admit, were invariably relieved: he was often seen following poor labouring persons on Saturday nights going to market, and as often enabled them to rejoice in the enjoyment of a comfortable meal the ensuing day; but the primary object of his delight consisted in the education of children: few men have made equal sacrifices for the attainment of his benevolent wishes, and his exertions have been crowned with the most animating success, having been made the honoured instrument of founding a noble edifice at Guisbrough, Yorkshire, called Providence School, in which are constantly educated ninety poor children. To accomplish this great and important work, he travelled upwards of twenty thousand miles at his own expence, and has been favoured with the patronage of many distinguished characters. He was also well known to many charitable institutions in the metropolis, and by them often solicited to take a leading part, but which he was compelled to decline on account of his anxious desire to serve the school in the North. He was, however, many years a trustee of the Middlesex Protestant School, and an active and zealous advocate for the Missionary and London Societies.

He was the third Lord in descent from Sir Robert Barnewall, created Baron of Trimlestown, March 4, 1461, by King Edward IV.

At his seat, Green Mount Lodge, near Castle Bellingham, Ireland, Turner Macan, esq. a gentleman of inestimable worth; as universally lamented in death, as he was beloved in life, by a very numerous circle of friends in England, Ireland, and wherever he was known. Mr. Macan passed many years in a high official situation in the civil department of the East. India Company's service in Bengal; with honour to himself and credit to his station; and he was distinguished alike by zeal in public as in private life, and also for bearing with an almost unequalled fortitude the frequent, and for the past ten years the almost incessant, attacks of the gout, which gradually bore down every thing but his domestic virtues, and the socially endearing qualities of relative, neighbour, and friend. Mr. Macan married the only daughter of Mr. Pratt, author of the "Gleanings," and various other publications, who, with Miss Fanny Macau, and the only son and heir to the estates, (who gives the fairest promise of inheriting likewise the virtues of his father,) are left to mourn his loss, and reverence his memory.

At Bath, Henry Clifford, esq. barrister, of Lincoln's Inn, second son of the Hon. Thos. C. of Tixall, co. Stafford, brother to Hugh fifth Lord Clifford, who married Barbara, youngest daughter and coheir of James, fifth Lord Aston, and niece to Thomas and Edward Dukes of Norfolk, and to George Earl of Shrewsbury. He possessed consummate talents, and a great depth of legal knowledge; and in sound

judgment

judgment and acuteness in determining a difficult point of law, was not surpassed by any in Westminster-Hall. No one was more conversant in the law of elections, or more thoroughly understood the management of electioneering concerns. He was at all times a warm and undaunted advocate of the rights and liberties of the people; and his personal exertions in the extraordinary O. P. contest will not soon be forgotten. His attachment to the Roman Catholic religion, in which he was born and educated, debarred him from rising to the higher honours and emoluments of his profession; and this disappointment of a laudable ambition was perhaps the cause of his indulging too freely in the pleasures of the table, by which he shortened a very active life. Through his exertions he had the satisfaction of seeing, in the course of last year, a Catholic Chapel established at Chelsea, by which the comforts of their religion were administered to hundreds of infirm and gallant veteran soldiers, who have been disabled in fighting the battles of their Country. He had a clear head and a warm heart.

About three months

before his death, he married Anne Teresa, youngest daughter of Edward Ferrers, of Baddesley-Clinton, co.

By the death of Mr. Nicholas Schiavonetti, the lovers of the art of Engraving have sustained a loss of one of its most distinguished ornaments; while his private friends have to deplore the untimely death of one of the most amiable of men, and society itself has much reason to regret the premature fate of an upright and benevolent individual.

At Canonbury, of a fit of apoplexy, in her 58th year, Mrs. Anne Sutton.

At Marham, aged 54, Mr. W. Altmore, land-surveyor.

At Slaidburue, co. York, aged 85, Mrs. Parker, relict of the late E. P. esq. of Brownsholme.

The General was younger brother to the Earl of Upper Ossory,secretary to the duke of Portland, when Lord-lieutenant of Ireland, in 1782; and secretary at war to the ministry of 1783, to which situation he was again appointed in 1806, in the administration of Lord Grenville. He was distinguished for his attainments as a scholar, and his talents as a poet. Gen. F. was presump

tive heir to his brother's titles.

April 26. At Baguley, in Cheshire, in the 76th year of her age, Mrs. Jane Houghton, eldest daughter of the late John Houghton, esq.; a lady of unaffected piety, and real charity to the various wants, both temporal and spiritual, of the necessitous poor. She was perfectly acquainted with that admirable system of Short-hand writing invented by her uncle, the late John Byrom, A. M. and F. R. S. who died at Manchester, his native place, Sept. 26, 1763, aged 72. Mr. Byrom first studied the Classics under the tuition of that once eminent schoolmaster, Mr. Francis Harper, of Chester, and was afterwards entered of Trinity-collége, Cambridge, where he took his Bachelor's degree in 1711, and that of M. A. in 1715, with distinguished

distinguished applause. Whilst at the University, he held a correspondence with mány of the Literati of that time, and wrote some papers in the Spectator, on Dreaming, signed "John Shadow." He was also the author of that much-admired pastoral,

"My time, O ye Muses, was happily spent,"

which appeared in the 8th volume of the sameWork.-The late Mrs. Jane Houghton had in her possession various unpublished pieces in the hand-writing of Mr. Byrom, besides some original and truly valuable short-hand MSS., which the Writer of this article has frequently seen and perused with great pleasure, as they afford a striking proof of the beauty and perfect legibility of a system of rational Shorthand, the celebrity of which, for more than half a century, Kas increased, is increasing, and, in all probability, will never be diminished, by any of the more fanciful, but less practical, schemes of modern Stenographers.

In Wimpole-street, aged 26, the wife of F. Hartwell, esq.

After a long-protracted suffering from disease, which he bore with manly fortitude and Christian resignation, Beriah Botfield, esq. of Norton-hall, in the county of Northampton. His earlier years were distinguished by the most exemplary filial piety; and the short period during which he had resided on his principal estate, by the encouragement of virtue and industry among his poorer neighbours. Consistent with a life of active usefulness, and a firm reliance on the sacred truths of the Holy Scriptures, was that pious confidence in the beatitude of a future existence more particularly manifested during his latter days. By the power of such exalted sentiments was he enabled, without repining, to relinquish, in the forty-fourth year of his age, and the seventh of his marriage, (with Charlotte, the only daughter of the late Dr. Withering) the choicest blessings

of human life-the wife whom he most tenderly loved, the child on whom he doated, and the favourite residence but just completed. His remains were interred amidst a most respectable attendance of the neighbouring gentry, and his own tenants and villagers, in a cemetery, the construction of which he had himself recently superintended.-Nor, in recording the estimable qualities of the master, should the merit of the faithful domestick, John Darroll, pass unnoticed. He was a native of Shropshire, who, after having maintained the character of an honest man during a service of more than half a cen tury in the family, was laid to rest in the same church-yard, only one short month before him, who directed every mark of respect to be paid to his memory.

April 28. At Richmond, Surrey, after a few days illness, of a paralytic stroke, in his 75th year, John Clarke, esq.

At Worcester, in his 43d year, Rev. John Maunde, curate of Kenilworth. The living of Abberton, near Evesham, was lately given to him; and as he was travelling, much indisposed, on his way to take possession of it, at the Crown-inn, in Worcester, he was seized with a violent fit of coughing, burst a blood-vessel, and within an hour expired. He was born at Montgomery, received his education at the Royal school of Christ's-hospital in London, and at an early period of the French Revolution went to Paris. During his stay there, that bloody and detestable tyrant, Robespierre, attained the summit of his power; when, with the rest of the English, he was seized and thrown into prison, where he remained for the space of four years. By the kind interference of a Frenchman, he was liberated from his confinement, and shortly after returned to England, when he entered himself a member of Oxford University, and removed to Birmingham, where he took orders. 1812, he went to Kenilworth, as curate. At the time of his death he was engaged, at the request of Lucien Buonaparte, in translating into English his long-expected Poem, in which he had advanced as far as the 8th canto,

In

At

At Buntzlaw, of a nervous fever, which defied all the efforts of the celebrated physician Hufeland, to the inexpressible regret of all who knew him either as a soldier or a man, iu his 70th year, his Highness Prince Kutusoff Smolensko. His fame could not reach a higher point; his name will endure for ever; for it was his distinguished fate, as well as supreme satisfaction, to have been the instrument of delivering Germany as well as Russia. He was a friend of the Germans, and of their literature. A few hours previous to his death, the gallant Veteran recommended Count Wittgenstein as his successor.

In his 75th year, Mr. Jas. Bowling, formerly proprietor and editor of "The Leeds Mercury." In 1767, he revived "The Leeds Mercury," which had been originally established by Mr. Lister, and which, after having been continued by that gentleman upwards of 12 years, had been discontinued.

LATELY-Major-gen. Sir Barry Close. This eminent Officer was forty-two years in the service of the East India Company. He went abroad when very young, but the commencement of his career was marked by the same ardent passion for knowledge, and entire devotion to his duty, that distinguished his riper years. There never, perhaps, existed a man who was more wholly public; and this habit of his mind was indeed so strong, that he could hardly tolerate in others any feelings that had a tendency to withdraw them from the performance of public duties. In every situation in which General Close was placed during his progress through the service to which he belonged, he was pointed to as a model for others to form themselves upon. He held for many years the station of Adjutant-general of the army of Fort St. George, and acquired in it very high military reputation. At the last siege of Se

ringa patam, his conduct was the admiration of all ranks; his established character obtained on that memorable occasion the entire confidence of the Commander. in Chief (Gen. Harris); and that confidence gave a scope to his efforts, which entitled him to a very distinguished share in all the glory which attended that brilliant and important achievement. When the House of HYDER was overthrown, and British justice restored the imprisoned heir of the antient Rajahs of Mysore to the throne of his fathers, the GovernorGeneral (Marquis Wellesley) appointed Sir Barry Close Resident at the Court of the young Prince, and confided to his care and wisdom all those arrangements that were necessary to give full effect to this politic and important measure. Where temper, experience, and judgment, were combined with the most complete knowledge of the languages, the manners, and the history of the natives of India, success in the performance of such duties must follow of course; and General Close, by his conduct as resident at Mysore, and in other high diplomatic stations to which he was afterwards called, became as distinguished for the qualities of a statesman and politician as he had been before for those of a soldier. The character of Sir Barry Close was very marked; his manner and expression were as mild and unassuming as his purpose was firm, and his judgment decided. He had a shade of reserve about him that only gave way to habits of long and intimate friendship; his advice to others was never intruded, but it was never refused; and when sparingly given, it proceeded less from caution than a conviction in his own mind that a fuller communication of his sentiments would have been attended with no real benefit. The heart of this able man was as warm as his principles were pure, and his head unclouded. In that country in which he passed the greatest part of his life, he was regarded with feelings of the sincerest affection by many,-with those of respect and esteem by all. These feelings were not confined to his countrymen ; for his name was, if possible, more be loved and revered by the Native than the European subjects of Great Britain in In dia. His death will be felt in that quarter of the globe as a misfortune to an empire -for the impression was universal, that his character was such as must ensure his returning to them in an elevated rank'; and their regret will be proportionate to the good they had a right to anticipate from a measure that would have placed power in hands so fitted for its exercise. The eminent services of General Close in India were not rewarded by auy honours but some time after his arrival in England he was promoted to the dignity of a Baronet; a distinction which he is said to
