erected at Felbrigge Church, Norfolk, in memory of the Right Hon. William Windham. It is decorated with his bust, and bears the following inscription: "Sacred to the Memory of the Right Hon. WILLIAM WINDHAM, Esq. of Felbrigge, in this county; Born the 14th of May, O. S. 1750, Died the 4th of June, N. S. 1810. He was the only son of William Windham, Esq. by Sarah, relict of Robert Lukin, Esq. He married, in 1798, CECILIA, third daughter of the late Commodore Forest, who erects this Monument in grateful and tender remembrance of him. During a period of twenty-six years, He distinguished himself in Parliament by his eloquence and talents, And was repeatedly called to the highest Offices of the State. His views and councils were directed more to raising the glory than increasing the wealth of his country. He was, above all things, anxious to preserve,untainted, the National Character, and even those National Manners which long habit had associated with that character. As a Statesman, He laboured to exalt the courage, to improve the comforts, and ennoble the profession of a Soldier. As an individual, He exhibited a model of those qualities which denote the most accomplished and enlightened mind. Frank, generous, unassuming, intrepid, compassionate, and pious, He was so highly respected, even by those from whom he most differed in opinion, that though much of his life had passed in political contention, he was accompanied to the grave by the sincere and unqualified regret of his Sovereign and his Country." Vol. LXXXVI. ii. 286. The ancestors of the late Sir T. Miller, bart. were originally seated at Chichester, and three of them in succession represented that city in parliament. During the American war, Sir Thomas, who succeeded bis father in 1772, sat for Lewes, in Sussex. He was first chosen for Portsmouth in 1806, and bas continued to represent that borough ever since. In his parliamentary conduct he manifested an uniform attachment to what are called Whig principles, and maintained the genuine character of an independent English gentleman. The infirmity of his health for the last two years, prevented his strict attendance to his public duties; but the last occasion on which he appeared in his place in the House of Commons, exemplifies that energy of spirit which always characterized his conduct in matters of great political interest. At the last discussion of the property-tax, although in a feeble state of body, he could not be restrained from attending to give his vote against that measure, and he was accordingly led into the house supported by a friend, and remained there during a great part of the debate, until, in the technical language of parliament, he was able to pair off, and withdrew one member from the ranks of the ministers. Sir Thomas was twice married; one of his daughters, married to Sir John Gilman, died in 1803, and his eldest son John ja the following year. METEOROLOGICAL TABLE for December, 1816. By W.
