This gentleman had, by the exercise of his own talents, raised himself to rank in the fashionable and commercial world. He was the second son of a respectable merchant of London, and was himself designed for business; but, owing to his father's acquaintance with Garrick, Foote, and other dramatic characters, his mind received a bias towards theatrical composition. He was the author of 1. "The Election," a musical interlude, 1774, 8vo. 2. "The Conjuror," a farce, 1774, (not printed.) 3. "Belphegor; or, The Wishes," a comic opera, 1778, (not printed. 4.

On the death of his elder brother, he succeeded to his share in the celebrated and lucrative manufactory of gunpowder at Dartford; and on the commencement of the present war, became Lieutenant-colonel of the St. Martin's or Prince of Wales's volunteers. He purchased, some years since, the noble mansion built by Lord Grenville, facing the Green Park; and the fashionable parties which he was some years since in the habit of giving, were not eclipsed by any in the circle of the great world. The property left by him is estimated at about 110,000l. which he has charged with an annuity of 2,000l. per annum to a lady for life, which reverts to the family of Mr. Pigou, who is residuary legatee. To each of his executors, Sir Walter Stirling, and Messrs.

July 25. In Arlington-street, Camdentown, Mr. Charles Dibdin, the celebrated song-writer, in which character he had few equals, for the number and merit of his compositions. They amount to upwards of 1200; and it may truly be said, that though a great portion of them are in praise of love and festivity, not one passage can be found, in the whole number, of a licentious tendency. On the contrary, they are calculated to support the interests of virtue, and to exercise the best affections of the heart, as well as to enforce the duties of loyalty and patriotism. The influence of his songs upon our gallant Tars has long been known, and probably Das strongly contributed to stimulate their heroism, and inculcate submission to the hardships of their profession, and to the will of Providence. His "Poor Jack" is a striking and popular example. He was possessed of considerable merit as a Dramatic Writer, and several of his works will for ever be what are called “Stock-pieces" on the English Stage. In the earlier part of his life he possessed considerable merit as an actor. His Mungo has never been equalled; and his Giles, Ralph, and many other characters, were marked by genuine simplicity, truth, and humour. His conduct manifested the too frequent improvidence of genius; and this chiefly appeared in too hospitable a style of living; for he was never a gámester, nor addicted to the bottle.--He has left an amiable wife and daughter, with nothing but the regret of his loss; though, indeed, his long-continued illness, and the helpless bodilystate to which he was reduced, must render his death a relief to all who held him in regard, as well as to himself, under such severe suffering and hopeless privation. At Barn Elms, Surrey, aged 22, Frances Second daughter of Henry Hugh of his domestic chaplains. After the death,

esq.

At Mrs. Hill's, Blackheath, aged 64, Sarah, only remaining daughter of the late Geo. Grey, esq. of Lancaster.

He

At Brightwell, the Rev. Tho. Wintle, B.D. His parents were in trade at Gloucester, where he was born 28th April 1737. was educated chiefly in his native city, and distinguished by his thirst after knowledge, and his diligent application to school-exercises. Obtaining an exhibition at Pembroke College, Oxford, he there became Scholar, Fellow, and Tutor. In 1767, Archbishop Secker made him rector of Wit-, trisham in Kent, and called him to be one

of his Grace in the following year, he resided at Wittrisham, or on the small living of St. Peter, in Wallingford; until, in 1774, relinquishing these preferments, he was presented by the late Bishop of Winchester to the rectory of Brightwell, Berks. At Brightwell he lived constantly forty years, and at Brightwell he died, leaving a widow, two sons, and one grand-daughter. That in early life Mr. Wintle was unremitting in the attainment of useful learning, and in the practice of religion and virtue, the honourable distinction conferred on him by that eminent Divine and excellent man Archbishop Secker, gives ample proof. That in his more mature

and

and later years he ceased not, by precept and example, to set forth the expediency and advantages of a religious and virtuous life, all who had communication with him can testify.. Not that the world at large has to learn what were his pursuits; for, with a desire that his honest and pious lahours might be productive of good beyond the small circle of his parish, he pubTished, 1st," An improved Version of Daniel attempted, with a Preliminary Dissertation, and Notes critical, historical, and explanatory." 2. "A Dissertation on the Vision contained in the second chapter of Zechariah." 3. "Eight Sermons on the Expediency, Prediction, and Accomplishment, of the Christian Redemption, preached at the Bampton Lecture." 4. "Christian Ethics, or Discourses on the Beatitudes, with some preliminary and subsequent Discourses, the whole designed to explain, recommend, or enforce, the Duties of the Christian life." 5. "A Letter to the Lord Bishop of Worcester, occasioned by his Strictures on Archbishop Secker and Bishop Lowth, in his Life of Bishop Warburton." The two first of these publications will class Mr. Wintle with the most distinguished Biblical Scholars. The Bampton Lectures and Christian Ethics contain a form of sound words, adorning the doctrine of Christ, and provoking his followers to good works. The Letter to Bishop Hurd has already been recommended to the Reader as one of the few pamphlets which should be preserved*.It had been well for society if Mr. Wintle's sphere of daily action had been less circumscribed. If his study accurately to know the will of God, and his delight punctually to perform it; if his orthodox Christian faith, his extensive knowledge, his right judgment, his well-disciplined understanding, his gentle and cheerful disposition, his instructive and entertaining conversation, his sound and practical doctrine, his meekness, his equanimity, his temperance; his inflexible integrity; if these, and other talents and graces, with which the head and heart of this learned and good man abounded, had been exercised in more public life, might not thou- sands, seeing his faith by his works, have been led to follow his example of giving glory to God, and doing good to men?
