G. Thus he was only fourth in descent from King Charles the Second, his maternal grandfather having been that monarch's grandson. In early life he served in the army, and was member for the family borough of Orford, in the parliament of 1784-90, and in 1796 he was returned for Totness. In 1801 he was appointed one of the Commissioners of Excise, and was chairman of that board for many years. He was also Deputy Craner and Wharfinger on the Irish establishment.

In the early part of his military career, he served with the army before Seringapatam, in the reduction of the Dutch settlements in Malabar, at the capture of CoJumbo, and also throughout the course of the Cingalese war. In a later period of his service, he had the merit of suggesting

and organising a most efficient plan for recruiting the army,-a plan adopted by the government, and acted upon with extensive and important results. He was subsequently engaged, during the arduous war in the Deccan, in collecting and forwarding supplies for the army under the command of Sir Arthur Wellesley, and received an expression of the high satisfaction of that illustrious commander. He was created a Baronet of the United Kingdom, Aug. 28, 1821. In 1829 he was elected a Director of the East India Company.

On his return in the following year he entered upon his career of literary labour, and produced many volumes of memoirs, translations, and novels. He was appointed editor of the Courier, which he conducted with consummate ability during a most trying period of our history. For the last fifteen years he conducted The Kentish Observer and the Canterbury Journal, and latterly was the editor of the John Bull, which he conducted with distinguished ability and suc

cess.

In 1807 Mr. Clive entered Parliament as Member for Ludlow, and he continued to represent that borough until 1818, when he became Member for Montgomery, which latter seat he occupied until the passing of the Reform Bill. In the spring of 1818, at the period of the resignation and death of Mr. Hiley Addington, Mr. Clive accepted the office of

Lieutenant of the Bedford in Hotham's action, commanded the Cyane, under the orders of his uncle, the late Sir Henry Harvey, in the West Indies, and was present at the capture of Surinam in 1799.

22. At his seat, East Court, Cosham, near Portsmouth, aged 72, Frederick Warren, esq., Vice-Admiral of the Red. Admiral Warren was a son of Dr. Richard Warren, physician to King George III. He entered the royal navy in 1789, and in 1792 was appointed to the Lion, Capt. Sir E. Gower, and proceeded in her to China with the celebrated embassy of Earl Macartney. Having during this service been appointed acting lieutenant, this promotion was confirmed on his return. From this period his career was a series of active services, in which he was highly distinguished, and not less by his firmness during the mutiny of 1797, when in command of the Latona. In 1806, in the Dædalus frigate, he proceeded to the Jamaica station, where, in April 1808, he removed to the Meleager frigate, which in July following, having been actively employed against the enemy in successful cruises off St. Domingo, was unfortunately wrecked on Barebush Key, near Port Royal; but the court-martial fully acquitted Capt. Warren of all blame, and complimented him upon his exertions subsequent to the wreck. He was on shore a few months only; for in April 1809 he was appointed to the Melpomene, 38, and proceeded in her to cruise in the Baltic, under the orders of Rear-Adm. Sir Manley Dixon. The service on which Capt. Warren was despatched was one of great importance. During the early portion of his cruise he was day by day engaged with the Russian gun-boats, several of which he captured, and in cutting out, capturing, and destroying the rich merchantmen of the strongly fortified seaport of Revel, and in scouring the whole coast of Finland; but subsequently in the Great Belt, on the 29th of May, 1809, he fought a most gallant and determined action in the night with no less than 18 powerful gun-boats, in which the Melpomene sustained a loss of 5 men killed and 29 wounded. This action and its successful results called forth the warmest encomiums from the gallant and distinguished flag-officers in command. Captain Warren continued his active services until the peace. Having been promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral in July 1830, he hoisted his flag for about six weeks in the Talavera, 74, on "particular service," and on the 5th of August,

1831, was appointed commander-in-chief at the Cape of Good Hope and West Coast of Africa Station for three years. It was during this period that the disturbances at the Mauritius took place, when British interests were so ably protected by the judicious arrangements of the Admiral and Captain Harvey. In Jan. 1837, Rear.- Adm. Warren was once more selected for service, and was appointed Superintendent of Devonport Dockyard, which office he retained until his promotion to the rank of Vice-Admiral, in Nov. 1841.

He was made lieutenant Feb. 2, 1803, and, when serving under the command of Sir Thomas Livingstone, bart., assisted in the capture of the Spanish national brig of 18 guns, on the Mediterranean station, April 4, 1806, and on the 4th of the following month commanded the boats of the Renommée and Nautilus in the capture of the Spanish schooner Giganta of 9 guns.

He was advanced to the rank of Commander Nov. 29, 1810, and appointed to the Rinaldo brig of 10 guns, Feb. 1, 1812. On the 4th of May following, he assisted at the recapture of the Apelles brig, which had been driven on shore near Boulogne. His next appointment was May 21, 1813, to the Fly, 16, in which he continued until his advancement to post rank, June 6, 1814.

In 1813 he was Secretary to the Legation, under Lord Heytesbury, to the Barbary States; and having, when so employed, made himself acquainted with the plan and strength of the fortifications of Algiers, he was appointed, in July 1816, to accompany the expedition of Lord Exmouth against that town, the result of which was so successful in humiliating that maritime tyrant.

For his ser

vices on this occasion he was nominated a Companion of the Bath, and was permitted to accept the Neapolitan order of St. Ferdinand and Merit. In 1828 he was appointed to the post of Secretary to the Master-General of the Ordnance. He was afterwards selected, in 1829, to fill the office of Private Secretary to the Marquess of Anglesey, then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, from whom he received the honour of knighthood in the year 1830, after being appointed Under-Secretary of State. From that office he was removed, on the vacancy occurring, to that of Serjeant-at-Arms to the House of Commons. In 1831 he was nominated a Knight Commander of the Hanoverian Guelphic Order.

He was taken prisoner in October 1798, in the action between the fleets of Bompard and Admiral Warren. He commanded the Pomone in 1811, when the French division to which he belonged was attacked in the Adriatic by an English force, and bravely defended his ship for three hours; and it was only after he had lost 57 men, when his masts were overboard, and himself dangerously wounded, and with five feet of water in the hold, that he struck his flag.

He was made Captain of the Imperial Navy in 1814, and occupied, during two years, the post of Major-General of the Navy at Cherbourg. He subsequently made several cruises in the Mediterranean and elsewhere, and was promoted in 1823 to the rank of Rear-Admiral, with the command of the South American station. In 1828 he took the command of the Levant squadron, in the absence of Admiral de Rigny; and in 1830, after assisting at the expedition to Algiers, he was sent to Tripoli to demand satisfaction from the Bey, which he obtained in 48 hours. He was appointed in Nov. 1830 Maritime Prefect at Toulon; Vice-Admiral on the 1st of March, 1831; and Minister of Marine on the 6th Sept. 1836, a post which he filled until the 30th of March, 1838.

31. At Brompton, aged 83, Madame Guizot, the venerable mother of the great French author and statesman. She had no pretensions to extraordinary intellectual cultivation or subtlety of talent; but she was unsurpassed in strength of character and intensity of will. Her piety and attachment to the faith of the Protestant Church of France were the strongest principles of her mind; and, whilst the creed of a Puritan had moulded the stern simplicity of her life, the graces of

Christian affection poured with inexhaustible abundance from her heart.

31. At Richmnod-hill, Lady Katharine Halkett, daughter of Dunbar, fourth Earl of Selkirk,

APRIL.

1. At Bath, aged 94, Lady Francis Trail, and relict of the Rev. William Trail, LL. D., Chancellor of the Cathedral Church of Connor. She was the fourth daughter of Francis, fifth Earl of Wemyss.

2. At Edinburgh, aged 67, the Right Rev. Michael Russell, LL.D, D.C.L., Oxon., Bishop of Glasgow and Galloway. Bishop Russell was an able and extensive writer. His earliest publication, “A View of the System of Education at present pursued in the Schools and Universities of Scotland," which appeared in 1813, excited much attention. For twenty-five years he was a regular contributor to the Encyclopædia Metropolitana. The "History of the Church in Scotland," in Rivington's Theological Library, "Sermons on Doctrinal Subjects," and many minor works written for the Cabinet Library, and other serial publications, as well as many articles of great research and sound judgment, which appeared in the British Critic, with which he was connected for twenty years, during its earlier career, attest the learning, taste, and elegance of mind for which he was distinguished. His chief work, however, and that which gained for him the reputation of a learned and accurate writer, both in England and on the continent, was the "Connection of Sacred and Profane History," which was published in 1827 and 1837. In testimony to his high merits the University of Oxford conferred upon him the degree of D. C. L. by diploma-an honour which had never before been bestowed on a Scotchman not educated at Oxford.

Peterborough House, Fulham. Sir Samuel graduated at Oxford, being a member of Queen's College, Oxford. By an early marriage, in the year 1803, he offended his father, who, in consequence, so arranged the inheritance of his property that it should in great measure pass over his son, and go to the next generation. From the early death of his only son, in the year 1837, Sir Samuel survived this disposition. Having adopted the profes sion of the law in the Ecclesiastical and Admiralty Courts, Dr. Meyrick practised for many years as an advocate; but his real study and pursuit was that of Antiquities and Archæology, and in his residence he gradually accumulated a very large collection of armour, which not only filled the garrets, the staircase, and the back drawing-room, but even encroached upon the bed-rooms. In 1810he published "The History and Antiquities of the County of Cardigan." Having been engaged in collecting materials for the early history of Britain, in 1814 he joined Captain Charles Hamilton Smith in the production of a work on the Costume of the original Inhabitants of the British Islands, which was published in quarto, with coloured plates. His great work on Arms and Armour was formed on the same plan. This was published in three quarto volumes, 1824, under this title:"A Critical Inquiry into Antient Armour, as it existed in Europe, but particularly in England, from the Norman Conquest to the Reign of King Charles II.; with a Glossary of Military Terms of the Middle Ages." About 1825 Dr. Meyrick contributed assistance to Mr. Fosbroke's "Encyclopædia of Antiquities," on the subject of ancient armour. quently promoted the publication of Mr. Joseph Skelton, F. S. A., who undertook the production of a series of engravings of the Meyrick collection of arms and armour. The descriptions were all written by Dr. Meyrick himself, and the work is consequently one of equal authority with his former book. It was completed in two volumes quarto (on large paper, folio) in 1830. These works are of great beauty, and were published only at a vast expense. About the year 1827 Dr. Meyrick, having vainly endeavoured to purchase the ruins of Goodrich Castle, on the banks of the Wye, was induced to buy the opposite hill, and to erect thereon a new mansion, which he styled Goodrich Court. His architect was Mr. Blore, and the first stone was laid on St. George's Day, 1828.

He subse
