FRANCIS DUGDALE ASTLEY, Esq. April 26. Died at Everley House, in the county of Wilts, to the inexpressible grief of his sorrowing family and friends, Francis Dugdale Astley, Esq.; venerable in point of, years, but infinitely more SO in virtuous actions. Gentleness and amiableness of manners, joined with unaffected piety, and unrivalled goodness of heart, had long secured him the esteem of all who knew him. Blessed with an ample fortune, it was the chief pleasure of his life to impart the comforts he himself enjoyed to those who were less affluent. He passed his time almost entirely upon his property, paying strict attention to the care of his estates, which he vastly improved to the comfort and ease of his dependants, whose narrow joys it was the delight of his heart to enhance and adding at all times, by the cheerfulness of his temper, and the mildness of his deportment, to the happiness of all around him. It would be impossible to do justice to the numberless virtues of this truly excellent man, but in no light was his character more distinguished than in the observance of religious aud moral duties-in piety towards his Creator, and benevolence towards every human creature. His ear was ever open to the cry of the needy and the prayer of the unfortunate, and his hand never withheld relief. To mention all his acts of generosity, even were it possible, would be only offering an unacceptable tribute to his memory, as they were often secret, and always unostentatious. Through life it was his aim to do good in private next to the commission of a kind and liberal deed, it was his greatest satisfaction to conceal the hand of the donor. Many there are now living who can bear ample testimony to the truth of every word here written; and such inflexible integrity of heart, and unbounded benevolence of mind, can never be forgotten. He was a Magistrate, a Deputy - lieutenant, and for many years Lieut.-colonel of the Yeomanry Cavalry of Wiltshire.

He

served the office of Sheriff in 1776, and was first married in that year to Mary, the youngest daughter (and co- heiress with Dame Lady Lethbridge, of Sandhill Park, in the county of Somerset) of William Buckler, Esq. of Boreham House, in Wiltshire, and niece of Doctor Benjamin Buckler, Fellow of All Souls College, aud Custos Archivorum in the University of Oxford. She died, after a painful and long protracted illness, borne with truly Christian fortitude and resignation, on the 23d of September 1804, at Everley. By this GENT. MAC. May, 1818.

lady he had six children, four sons and two daughters; of the former three only remain, it having pleased the Almighty to terminate the earthly career of Benjamin, the youngest, at Bombay, in the East Indies, in October 1814, whither he had proceeded to join his Majesty's 17th regi ment of dragoons, by whom he was as much beloved in life, as he was deplored at his death by his afflicted family. The daughters neither of them survived their ever-honoured parents: the eldest died at Bath in Jan. 1798, young indeed in point of years, but rich in virtues; and the youngest survived its birth only a few days. He married secondly Anne, the daughter of Geast, Esq. and niece of Richard Dugdale, Esq. of Blythe Hall, in Warwickshire, the descendant of Sir William Dugdale. By her he had no issue, and she died in 1813. Mr. Astley was descended from the Patshull branch of the very antient and highly respectable family of Astley, formerly of Astley Castle, in the county of Warwick; and succeeded to the Everley and some other estates of his cousin Sir John Astley, Bart. who died at Everley in January 1772. The mortal remains of this good man were deposited in the New Church at Everley, which his own munificence had erected, on Monday May the 4th. F. B. A.

DR. HENRY CLARKE. April 50. Died at Islington, in his 76th year, Henry Clarke, LL. D. late Professor of Philosophy at the Royal Military College. He was the son of Mr. Thos. Clarke, of Salford, near Manchester, and was born in that town in 1743. At the age of 13 he evinced extraordinary talent and a propensity for mathematical and scientific knowledge: even when in his ninth year, from slight reading, he constructed a 9 inch terrestrial globe; and in his 10th year, while under education in the Grammar school at Manchester, it appears by a MS. of his compilation now in possession of his family, that he made an attempt on an History of the English Church, from the earliest account of Christianity to the Norman Conquest, extending to two books. Towards his future support in life he commenced his station in the world as an assistant at the Academy of Mr. Aaron Grimshaw (of the Society of Friends) at Leeds, in Yorkshire, where he cultivated and extended most favourably his scientific and literary acquirements, and obtained the acquaintance and friendship of several eminent literary characters, among whom was the late Dr. Priestley.

He

He shortly after entered into partnership in the establishment of a Seminary with Mr. Robert Pulman, of Sedbergh, who united the mathematician with the elegant penman, and also Mr. Frederick Williams, (from Berlin) a celebrated classical scholar; and during this connexion, he commenced his "Tabula Linguarum,” “Rationale of Circulating Numbers;" and "Practical Perspective;" which a few years after he published: but a short time elapsed before he separated from his partnership, for the advantage of travelling about in his own country, and part of the Continent. He afterwards practised (for his temporary support) land-surveying, but from the personal labour of the employment, he returned to what was more congenial to his mind, an academical establishment, and was appointed Prælector in Mathematicks and Experimental Philosophy at the New College of Arts and Sciences at Manchester, in which institution Dr. Barnes, in Biblical and Oriental Literature; Dr. Thomas Bew, in the Belles Lettres; and Dr. Thomas Henry, in Chemistry, were his colleagues; Lord Derby, President, and Dr. Percival, Vice-President; but these combined duties being too much for his constitution, which was not of the strongest nature, he resigned the Manchester prælectorship. At this time he was extending his purchases towards a complete collection of philosophical instruments. He afterwards changed the station of his academical establishment in philosophical lecturing, from Manchester to Bristol, where he met with the greatest success, by uniting the arrangement of a philosophical museum, and lectures, with that of public and private tuition. He there continued till the year 1802, when a proposal from Government was made to him, to be appointed a professor and lecturer of history, geography, and experimental philosophy, at the New Royal Military college, first instituted at Marlow, in Buckinghamshire, and afterwards removed, and now established at Sandhurst, near Bagshot. At this period he had honourably presented to him, by the University of Edinburgh, the degree of Doctor of Laws; and having completed his engagements for the term of fifteen years, (in the above station) terminating on the 5th of July last, he was pensioned, but very inadequately, with a small annuity.-On the day preceding his death, while at a friend's house in London, he was seized with a fit of apoplexy, and continued both in a speechless and senseless state till the following evening, when he gently breathed his last, He was a man of uncommon exertion and unremitting assiduity, with the quickest preceptive faculties. He was acquainted with the Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Oriental, and other languages;

6

he completely understood mathematical branches of the highest nature; he was both an excellent penman and draughtsman, with an extraordinary knowledge of perspective, an expert mechanic, an author, compiler of, and contributor to various respectable, scientific, and literary works. As a father, he was kind, intuitive, and indulgent; as a friend sociable, faithful, and affectionate; and as a Christian sincere, uniform, and unassuming. He bas left a widow, to whom he was married 52 years, and a family of two sons and four daughters. His elegant and extensive apparatus, and select library, will be offered by sale to the publick. Besides other works of minor importance, he was the Author of the following: "The Summation of Series, translated from the Latin, with Reply and Remarks to Mr. Landen on the same subject," 4to; "Treatise on Perspective," 8vo; "Treatise on Circulating Numbers,” 8vo; "Treatise on Short hand," 12mo; "An Essay on the Usefulness of Mathematical Learning," 8vo; "Tabula Linguarum, or concise Grammars of the Latin, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, and Norman ;" "The Seaman's Desiderata, or new and concise Rules for finding the Longitude at Sea ;" A new and concise Operation for clearing the Lunar Distances from a Star or the Sun;"" Virgil re-vindicated, in reply to Dr. Horsley's Virgil's two Seasons of Houey ;" and "An Introduction to Geography."

CAPTAIN WILLIAM INCE.

Died on the 19th March, Captain William Ince, 3d son of James Piggott Ince, esq. of Ramsgate. To deplore the loss of a relative or friend, is a task which few have escaped, but the regret which such an infliction entails, receives a severe aggravation when the blow falls unexpectedly, and the tenderest ties, to which every circumstance had promised permanence, are in a moment destroyed. Capt. Ince belonged to the 38th regi. a corps, whose services it would be superfluous to name, were it not to tell how far he had participated in its career; and the friend who now details that participation, ventures to do so from a conviction that the progress of merit, however humble its rank, is seldom passed over with impatience, or perused with indifference. In 1808, Capt. Ince accompanied the regiment to Portugal, and was immediately engaged in the battle of Roleia, an action always illustrious from the gallantry with which it was fought, but doubly memorable inasmuch as it was the fundation of that series of victories, which our History records with pride, and the latest posterity must admire.

After serving through the campaign under Sir John Moore, which terminated with the battle of Corunna, he returned to Eng

land,

land, and very shortly afterwards accompanied his regiment on the ill-fated expedition to Walcheren, where his constitution was impaired by the lamentable pestilence of the country in a manner from which he never entirely recovered. Having been subsequently sent to Cork, the 38th, in 1812, was again ordered to embark for the Peninsula, and advancing by rapid marches immediately on its landing, joined the Duke of Wellington's army on the night before the memorable battle of Salamanca, in which Captain Ince was wounded; at Villa Moreal, on the retreat from Burgos, at the pass of Osmar, and in the battle of Vittoria, he was also engaged with his detachment. The conduct of the 38th regt. in the two sanguinary assaults which terminated the siege of St. Sebastian, it is well known, was of the most gallant description; Capt. Ince, participating in it throughout, was one of the officers who entered the breach when the fortress was captured, and was immediately afterwards promoted to a Company. Having subsequently joined the column under Sir John Hope (afterwards Lord Niddry, and now Lord Hopetown), Capt. Ince was engaged at the crossing of the Bidassoa, the three actions of the 9th, 10th, and 11th of Dec. 1813, and finally at the siege of Bayonne, on the raising of which at the peace, he returned with his regiment to England; and in 1816 married the only daughter of William Whittington, Esq. of Broadwater, near Stevenage, Herts. His death, which was awfully sudden, was occasioned by an effusion of blood on the brain, while at the residence of his fatherin-law. His widow survives with one child, and the expectation of shortly giving birth to a second.. In Capt. Ince were united many of the best qualities of a soldier, a gentleman, a friend, and a companion; the esteem which such qualities create among the ordinary connections of society, he enjoyed, and by them deservedly is his memory respected. In the closer relations of life, his death has inficted a shock which will long be remembered, and a loss, which, in many respects, can never be repaired.

REV. WILLIAM MOUNSEY. April 30. Died at Sproxton, Leicestershire, after a severe illness of a paralytic tendency, the Rev. William Mounsey, vicar of Saltby and Sproxton; of whom it may be truly said, that he was a most couscientious Parish Priest, and an Israelite without guile. Of his literary talents abundant specimens may be seen in the description of his two small Parishes in Mr. Nichols's History of Leicestershire; in which is also a valuable and scientific account, by Mr. Mounsey, of the petri

factions, strata of stone, and fossil bodies, found in the Vale of Belvoir.-Of his mechanical talents and patient perseverance, the complete reparation of the fine monuments of the Earls of Rutland in Bottesford Church will be a lasting memorial and it is hoped that they will at some time be engraved from the exquisite drawings of Mr. Blore. For that matchless industry Mr. Mounsey was presented, in 1792, to the two small Vicarages of Saltby and Sproxton, at which latter place he constantly resided; and in 1811 had the satisfaction of presenting to his Noble Patron, the Duke of Rutland, a small urn, found that year at Sproxton, containing exactly 100 silver coins. - Mr. Mounsey has left a widow, and one daughter.,

They observed her stoop as if to pick something from the ground, when she lost her balance, and fell into the river. Her feeble frame rendered her unable to contend with the stream, which was a little swelled, and she had floated a short way down before the female relative who fol. lowed to join in her walk heard the alarm from the opposite side, and procured the help of workmen who were near.
