In his 72d year, Rev. W. Wyatt, A. M. F. R. S. rector of Framlingham-cum-Saxted, and of Theberton, Suffolk, and many years a fellow of Pembroke-hall, Cambridge.

Feb. 2. In Upper Berkeley-street, in her 12th year, Andelusia, eldest daughter of Col. Dalzell.'

In St. Swithin's-lane, after a short illness, aged 77, Major J. Bland, many years in the 46th regiment; who, in the course of his long services in all parts of the world, had been in 42 engagements, among which was the memorable battle of Quebec.

Feb. 3. At the Tavistock-hotel, aged 51, W. Broughton, esq. of the East India Company's service, late military paymaster-general of Bombay.

At North Perrot, Somerset, Wm. Hoskins, esq. one of the receivers-general of that county, and brother-in-law to Viscount Sidmouth.

At Wanlip, after a long and afflicting illness, aged 59, Rev. John Anderson, rector of that parish, vicar of St. Nicholas, Leicester, and chaplain to the County gaol. He was distinguished by his good-nature, and unoffending and unassuming manners, which endeared him to those to whom his modest merit was known. He was a sound and orthodox minister of the Church of England, both with respect to its discipline and doctrine, and distinguished himself, throughout life, by his Christian benevolence and amiable attention to the charities of domestic life.

At Clifton, the Hon. Caroline Powys, fourth daughter of the late Right-hon. lord Lilford, of Lilford, co. Northampton.

Feb. 5. In Grosvenor-square, after a short illness, Edward Hartopp, esq. of Dalby-house, co. Leicester. To enumerate his virtues would be superfluous: his excellencies were of that unobtrusive kind which attract not the admiration of strangers, but which will remain indelibly engraved on the hearts of all who knew him. In performing the duties of husband, father, and friend, few equalled, and none surpassed him, Actively benevolent, he was the friend of man; and, if a life of undeviating rectitude may claim so glorious an appellation, "the friend, too, of his 'God."

Feb. 8. At Shaftesbury, aged 64, Mr. James Lush, one of the aldermen, and formerly a mercer in that town, after sustaining, with becoming resignation and fortitude, nearly 20 years unremitted affiction and pain from rheumatic gout. was much esteemed and respected.

and from Madras and Bengal, in the years 1811-2. Few readers of sensibility will withhold a generous sigh, as they notice the death of an amiable man, thus prematurely laid low. The hand of affection that pens this short tribute, is held up to draw closer rather than to tear aside the pall overshadowing the remains of the departed. It is not fitting, it is not desired, that the public gaze should behold with apathy and idle wonderment all that could here with fidelity be stated. Suffice it to observe, that the gentleman whose loss is here recorded, was the eldest representative of a very reputable family. At his father's decease, Mr. K. (with his brother and sisters) was taken under the protection of an uncle of the same name, a WestIndian, resident in the parish of Chisleburst. At that excellent man's death, on the 5th January 1808 (for our account, see Gent. Mag. for Jan. 1808, p. 90), a will was found, the only one that has yet appeared, in which a very handsome legacy was left, unaltered, to the father of the subject of this article, to his heirs, his executors, and his assigns for ever. bequest, in strict interpretation of law, was declared lapsed; and this branch of the family merely shared in the property, in common with more fortunate relatives!! The spirit of honourable enterprize blazed still; although water, instead of oil, was thus thrown upon it, by the permission of Heaven. Instead of domestic arrangements, foreign speculations were now anxiously adopted. To make himself honestly and honourably independent, to prove himself not unworthy of his race, to set a meritorious example to his only brother, and to provide, as far as possible, for the comfort and happiness of several worthy sisters, Mr. K. consented to embrace a mode of life in every point of view irksome and uncongenial with his previously-acquired habits: Hope deferred maketh the heart sick!" The truth of this remark was here fatally exemplified, after a voyage of no successful result; and the sudden death of a highlyvalued friend on Sunday, August 30, 1812, Robert Boog, esq. (see our Obituary for September, p. 299), blasted the blossoms of industry, and chilled it to the very roots. A rapid decay of corporeal powers was the natural consequence of broken spirits and disappointed wishes. Never, perhaps, did a milder or a more inoffensive temper adorn a manlier frame. To the last the sufferer bore his pains without a murmur, and he died, as he had lived, universally beloved by all who knew him.

Feb. 11. At Stowe, Bucks, the Rt.-hon. Geo.-Grenville Nugent Temple, Marquis of Buckingham, Earl Temple, Viscount and Baron Cobham, in Great Britain, aud Earl Nugent in Ireland, knight of the

Garter,

Garter, lord lieutenant and custos rotulorum of the county of Bucks, high steward of Buckinghain and of Westminster, and one of the tellers of the Exchequer, &c. His Lordship was born June 17, 1753; succeeded, on the demise of his uncle Richard Earl Temple, in 1779, to the title of Earl Temple, and was created Marquis of Buckingham in 1784. His lordship twice filled the distinguished situation of Lordlieutenant of Ireland. He married, April 16th, 1775, Mary, eldest daughter and heiress to Robert Earl Nugent of Ireland (to whose earldom he succeeded on the death of that Nobleman in 1788, in consequence of a limitation of the patent). By this lady (who was created an Irish Peeress in 1800, by the title of Baroness Nugent, with remainder to her second son Lord George) his Lordship has issue Richard Earl Temple, born March 16th, 1776, now Marquis of Buckingham, and Lord George Grenville Nugent Temple, by the demise of his mother, Baroness Nugent, now Baron Nugent of Carlanstown, born Dec. 30th, 1788; and Lady Mary, born July 8, 1787.

Feb. 21. At Richmond, Surrey, in his 79th year, Henry Baldwin, esq. formerly an eminent Printer, first in White Friars, then in Fleet-street, and finally in New Bridge-street, in a house built purposely for him; but he had for several years wholly relinquished business, whilst in the full enjoyment of his health and mental faculties, to his eldest surviving son; and wisely retired, to enjoy, in the bosom of his family, the merited rewards of honourable industry. He was (except one) the oldest member of the Company of Stationers, of which he had been a Liveryman 57 years, and was Master in 1792. About three years ago he lost two brothers, one older, the other younger than himself, and an only sister, all at a good old age; but their loss had a very visible effect on his usually cheerful spirits; (see LXXIX. 887. 893.; LXXX. 394.) - As a Printer, he was of the old school; bred under Mr. Justice Ackers of Clerkenwell, the original Printer of the "London Magazine;" and he commenced business for himself under the most promising auspices. Connected with a phalanx of the first-rate wits, Bonnel Thornton, Garrick, Colman, Steevens, &c. &c. he set up, with the success it so

well deserved, a literary Newspaper, "The St. James's Chronicle," on the foundation of a very old paper of nearly the same title; and had the satisfaction of conducting it to a height of eminence unknown to any preceding Journal, nor exceeded by any of its successors-with whom sheer Wit and Literature are no longer the prominent features. From early association with men of eminence both in the literary and fashionable world, Mr. Baldwin had acquired elegant habits; and, without any profound stock of Literature, had sufficiently cultivated a mind naturally strong, to render his company and his conversation in the highest degree acceptable. But the firm rectitude of his mind, the real tenderness of his heart, and the sincerity of his attachments, were best known in his domestic circle, and by his choice friends, who regret in him the loss of one, who in a rare and peculiar manner united the sometimes opposed virtues of justice and generosity. If he had a failing (and who is without?) it was a sort of affectation of being occa sionally cynical and morose; qualities totally different from his natural disposi tion, which in reality overflowed with the milk of human kindness; nothing being so truly gratifying to him as the conferring of a favour without appearing to do it, and this more particularly in transactions of a pecuniary nature. There are still living a few of his old and intimate friends, who, like the writer of this article, having passed many a happy day with him for more than half a century, can testify the truth of a character dictated by sincere regard, and written warm from the heart, at the moment of hearing of his death. Two sons and three daughters survive, to comfort, a worthy and afflicted mother.

Feb. 23. Aged 5 months, John, the infant son of Mr. Charles Lush, of Charles's-squ. Hoxton,

Mrs. Howard, wife of Mr. James Howard, farmer at Westfield in the parish of St. Michael near St. Alban's, and one of the six daughters of the Rev. Mr. Ekins, formerly rector of Pebmarsh, Essex. She was sitting after dinner, when a blood-vessel suddenly burst (as it had done several times before), and by the excessive hæmorrhage that followed she was suffocated in a few minutes.
