Sir Thomas Coxhead, formerly M. P. for Bramber, aged 77. 14. Edward Hasted, esq. F. R. S. and S. A. aged 80, the historian of the county of Kent. In the

composition of this work he employed 40 years, during which he spared no pains or expense to bring it to maturity; at the same time he acted with zeal and vigour as a magistrate and deputy-lieutenant of the county. Mr. Hasted was the son of Edw. Hasted, of Hawley, in Kent, esq. and barrister-at-law, descended from the noble family of Clifford. His mother was of the ancient family of the Dingleys in the Isle of Wight. He was married, and left four sons and two daughters. Having met with adverse fortune in his latter years, he quitted Kent, and for some time lived in obscurity. A few years ago he was presented by the Earl of Radnor to the mastership of Lady Hungerford's hospital at Corsham, Wiltshire, a comfortable asylum, to which he removed, and where he died. Having also obtained a decree in chancery for the recovery of his estates in Kent, of which he had been defrauded, he was restored to a state of independent competency.

a

15. Theophilus Jones, esq. the historian of Brecknockshire, gentleman much beloved for his frank, benevolent, and social disposition.

Henry Penton, esq. aged 75, a native of Winchester, which city he represented in several successive parliaments.

Sir Henry Parker, Bart. of Melford-hall, Suffolk.

Colonel Wm. Cavendish, M. P.

for

for Derby, aged 28. He was the eldest son of Lord George Henry Cavendish, and cousin to the Duke of Devonshire. The cause of his death was an overturn from his curricle in Holker-park, Lancashire, as he was returning from ashooting excursion: he pitched on his head, and never spoke more. He married the eldest daughter of Lord Lismore, by whom he has left three or four children.

16. Mrs. Willes, aged 71, niece to Dr. Wilcocks, Bp. of Rochester. 18. Mrs Lindsey, aged 72, relict of the late Rev. Theophilus Lindsey: a lady distinguished for strong sense, firmness, and cultivation of mind, and the worthy partner in all fortunes of her excellent husband.

19. At the storming of Ciudad Rodrigo, Major-Gen. M'Kinnon. He was decended from an ancient family in Scotland, and entered at an early age in the Coldstream regiment of guards. He ârst served under the Duke of York in Holland. At the rebellion in Ireland he was brigade major to General Sir G. Nugent, and distinguished himself equally by his courage and humanity. He was in the expedition in Egypt; in Germany with Lord Cathcart; and at the taking of Copenhagen. In 1808, he embarked for the Peninsula, and fought with great reputation under Lord Wellington. He was married to the youngest daughter of the late Sir J. Colt, bart.

20. Mrs. Jebb, widow of the late John Jebb, M. D. aged 77. This lady was the daughter of the Rev. Jas. Torkington, and of lady Dorothy Sherard, daughter of the Earl of Harborough. She married, in 1764, to Dr. Jebb,

was

then resident in Cambridge, and engaged in various controversies and reforming plans which have rendered his name celebrated. Mrs. Jebb entered with great spirit and intelligence into all her husband's views, and even took up the pen in their support. She was particularly the assailant of Dr. Powell, master of St. John's college, the chief academical adversary of Dr. Jebb; and it was on occasion of a pamphlet against him, under the signature of Priscilla, that Dr. Paley said, "The Lord had sold Sisera into the hands of a woman." When Dr. Jebb removed to London, and adopted the medical profession, his wife was not in the least behind him in the patriotic zeal by which he was animated. Parliamentary reform, and all those principles of government which characterise the warm friends of liberty, were ever objects the nearest her heart, nor did age and infirmities make any abatement of her political ardour. Yet with this earnestness of disposition she united all the amiable softness of the female character, and was not less estimable for the qualities of the heart than for those of the understanding. Her frame was so slight and feeble, whilst her manner was so animated, that she seemed rather soul than body; and it was a wonder that the frail tenement of clay could so long harbour a mind of such activity.

21. At Bath, in his 80th year, Edward Fisher, esq. late of Henbury, Gloucestershire, whose time, and a considerable part of his fortune, from an early period, were spent in acts of benevolence.

24. In consequence of wounds received at the storming of Ciudad Rodrigo,
