7. At Furry Park, the villa residence of his son, near Raheny, co. Dublin, the Right Hon. Sir Charles Kendal Bushe, Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench in Ireland, and a Bencher of the Queen's Inns. He was appointed Third Serjeant, July, 1805, Solicitor-General for Ireland in October of the same year, and Chief Justice of the King's Bench and a Privy Councillor in Feb. 1822. He had not long retired from the Bench, with a pension of 3,0007. The Dublin Evening Mail remarked upon this occasion-" A great light has been extinguished; and the brilliant, the classical, the eloquent-he whose talents shed a lustre upon the Senate and the Bar-whose virtues reflected an honour upon the Bench-whose wit illuminated everything he touchedwhose vivacity gave life, and cheerfulness, and spirit to all within its sphere -is no more;-Bushe, the orator and the statesman;-Bushe, the advocate and the lawyer-Bushe, the scholar and the gentleman, has ceased to be! He was great amongst great men, and shone as a bright star in that galaxy of talent, when competitors for fame had to contend with such as Flood and Grattan-Ponsonby and Curran— Saurin and Plunkett, and others of equal note, with whom it was his fortune to enter the public arena, and by whom it was never his fate to be discomfited. As a public or professional man, the late Chief Justice, perhaps, never had his equal for varied acquirements and literary knowledge and taste. In private life he was warm-hearted, kind, and affectionate; and, by, and in his own family, and within his more immediate circle, he was rather adored

his seat, Kilkenny, only a few days before his death, on a short visit to his son, Thomas Bushe, esq., and was in the enjoyment of as good health as he had for some time, or since his retirement from the Bench. A sudden suffusion on the brain was the immediate cause of his death. His remains were interred, July 14, in the cemetery of Mount Jerome, attended by Lord Plunket and his two sons, Mr. H. Grattan, M.P., the Surgeon-General, and the family of the deceased.

At Newcastle-on-Tyne, in his 73d year, the Rev. James Worsick, forty-eight years Roman Catholic priest in that town.

10. At Tor House, Torpoint, in his 74th year, Sir James Hillyar, K.C.B., K.C.H., Rear-Admiral of the White. This officer was born at Portsea, 29th Oct. 1769, the eldest son of James Hillyar, esq., a surgeon of the Royal Navy; his mother, whose maiden name was Ommanney, was the daughter of a naval officer. Deprived of his mother by death at an early age, his father took him to sea, almost an infant, and he accompanied him from ship to ship; but his first entry into the service was early in 1779, in the Chatham, 50, in the first instance commanded by Sir John Orde, and afterwards by Sir A. S. Douglas. While on a visit on shore from that ship (it is believed at Rhode Island), he fractured his thigh, and on his rejoining, after his recovery from the accident, found that, during his absence, his father had joined another vessel, with his Captain, and had gone to England. In the Chatham he served till the close of the war in 1783; she proved a most fortunate cruiser, and in 1780, captured, off Boston, the French frigate La Magicienne, in which action young Hillyar had the charge of the three after-guns on the lower deck. Upwards of forty other prizes of different descriptions were also made by her, and in this matter he gave proof of all that considerate and kind feeling for which, in after-life, he was so conspicuous, by transmitting the larger portion of his prize-money to his father. At the conclusion of the war, the Chatham was paid off; and Hillyar, now known as an active and useful young officer, had no difficulty in procuring other ships. His first ship in the peace was the Proselyte, on the Newfound

10. At Tor House, Torpoint, in his 74th year, Sir James Hillyar, K.C.B., K.C.H., Rear-Admiral of the White. This officer was born at Portsea, 29th Oct. 1769, the eldest son of James Hillyar, esq., a surgeon of the Royal Navy; his mother, whose maiden name was Ommanney, was the daughter of a naval officer.

He was ap n March, 1794, to the Aquilon, at ship returned to England; commanded at that time by ent Governor of Greenwich - then Capt. the Hon. Robert

Under this highly-distinofficer Lieut. Hillyar served six nd was present in Lord Howe's the 1st of June, 1794, in the being on that day one of the g frigates. In June 1799, he captain were removed to the t, also one of the Channel fleet; May 1800 he was made Comin the Niger troop-ship, the which he conducted, on the 3d llowing, in conjunction with the Minotaur, 74, to the attack Spanish corvettes, lying in the Barcelona, and reported to be for the relief of Malta, then ed by a British squadron. This vas considered one of the most and nobly-accomplished of the He was afterwards employed in

campaign in Egypt, in the immediate confidence of Sir Sydney Smith; and, after the surrender of the Egyptian capital, he succeeded Capt. Curry in the command of the Betsey, an armed djerm. During the ensuing peace he conveyed Gen. Oakes and a number of recruits, for the garrison of Gibraltar, from England to that fortress. On the 20th Jan. 1804, his staunch friend, the immortal Nelson, addressed the following letter in his favour to Earl St. Vincent, who at that period presided over our naval affairs" Captain Hillyar is most truly deserving of all your Lordship can do for him; and in addition to his public merits has a claim upon us. At twentyfour years of age, when I made him Lieutenant for his bravery, he maintained his mother, sisters, and a brother. For these reasons he declined the Ambuscade, which was offered him; because, although he might thus get his rank, yet, if he were put upon half-pay, his family would be the sufferers. From all these circumstances, so honourable to Captain Hillyar, independent of his services, which every one thought would have obtained him promotion in the late war, I beg leave to submit, as an act of the greatest kindness, that, as the Niger is a very fine fast-sailing frigate, well manned, and in most excellent condition, she may be fitted with the Madras's 32 carronades, which are not so heavy as her present 9-pounders; and that your Lordship would recommend her being considered as a post-ship. Captain Hillyar's activity would soon complete the additional number of men, and she would be an efficient frigate. I will not venture to say more; I am sensible of your attention to merit." In consequence of this recommendation the Niger's establishment was altered, and Captain Hillyar appointed to command her as a 32-gun frigate, by commission dated Feb. 29, 1804. On the 2d of May, 1806, Capt. Hillyar captured a Spanish schooner bound to La Guira with dispatches; and at the latter end of 1807, he assisted in escorting Sir John Moore's army from Gibraltar to England. He subsequently commanded the St. George, a second rate, bearing the flag of RearAdm. Eliab Harvey, on Channel ser

vice.

Capt. Hillyar's next appointment was to the Phoebe, a 36-gun frigate, which formed part of the naval

In

Mauritius in Dec. 1810, and sustained a loss of seven killed and twenty-four wounded, in an action with a French squadron near Madagascar, on which occasion Captain C. M. Schomberg, in his official letter, bore the most ample testimony to Captain Hillyar's gallant conduct. The Phoebe likewise assisted in recovering possession of Tamatave, and capturing her late opponent La Nereide, of 44 guns and 470 men. March 1813, Capt. Hillyar sailed from England for the purpose of dispossessing the Americans of their fur establishments upon the banks of the Columbia river, the execution of which service he found it necessary to entrust to another officer, in consequence of his receiving certain intelligence at the island of Juan Fernandez that the United States frigate Essex, of 46 guns and 328 men, had been for some time committing great depredations upon British commerce in the South Seas, and that several of her prizes had been armed in order to assist in doing still further mischief. This frigate he engaged and captured on the 28th March, 1814. Captain Hillyar arrived at Plymouth with his prize, Nov. 13, 1814; and in the following year he received the insignia of a C.B. as a just reward for his long and meritorious services. He was paid off at Plymouth; having held the command for upwards of six years, and having served in the whole, from his first entry into the service, forty-four years, with less than one year's want of employ. He retired at first to Totnes, where his family had for some years been living; but after a year or two went with them to the Contitinent, and they remained abroad until late in 1830, when he was appointed to the command of the Revenge. This ship formed one of the experimental squadron under the command of Sir Edward Codrington, in the summer of 1831, which was afterwards assembled at Cork. On the return of the ships to port, Sir E. Codrington having struck his flag from the Caledonia, Captain Hillyar was appointed to the command of that ship. She lay in Plymouth Sound the whole of the ensuing winter, and in May, 1832, she was ordered to the coast of Portugal, where Captain Hillyar was called upon to deviate from his orders, being required by Lord William Russell to support the British au

Tagus. This was happily approved by the Admiral and the Government at home; and the Caledonia lay in that river the whole of the winter 1832-33. She was ordered home at the expiration of her period of servitude in April, and was paid off at Plymouth the following month. Captain Hillyar was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral in Jan. 1837. On the extension of the Order of the Bath, in Jan. 1815, he was nominated a Companion thereof. On the 1st Jan. 1834, he was named a Knight Commander of the Hanoverian Guelphic Order; and on the 4th July, 1840, he was advanced to the Knight Commandership of the Bath. Besides these distinctions from his own Sovereigns, he had a gold medal conferred on him by the Grand Seignior, for his services in the Egyptian expedition. In 1837 a good-service pension of 3007. per annum was conferred on him, which he held till his death. He married at Malta, July 14, 1805, Mary, second daughter of Nathaniel Taylor, esq., Naval Storekeeper at that island, who survived him, with six children-three sons, and as many daughters.

11. At Richmond, aged 85, the Right Hon. Louisa Greville, Countess of Mansfield, co. Nottingham. Her Ladyship was born in London, July 1, 1758, the third and youngest daughter of Charles, ninth Lord Cathcart, by Jane, daughter of Lord Archibald Hamilton (seventh son of William Duke of Hamilton, K.G.) and Lady Jane Hamilton, daughter of James sixth Earl of Abercorn. She was married May 5, 1776, to David Murray, seventh Viscount of Stormont, a Peer of the kingdom of Scotland, being his second wife. His uncle William, Chief Justice of the King's Bench in England, had been created Baron of Mansfield, co. Nottingham, in the year 1756. In the same year with Lady Stormont's marriage he was raised to an earldom, and because he had no issue himself, the remainder was thenlimited to Louisa Viscountess Stormont; and to her instead of her husband, because the legal doctrine then prevailed, that no English peerage could be conferred on, nor even limited in remainder to a Scotch peer. When a contrary law was established, the Chief Justice was, by another patent in 1792, created Earl of Mansfield in Middlesex, with remainder to his nephew. On the
