A. formerly of Peter-house, in the University of Cambridge, afterwards vicar of Swinderby, and rector of Panton, in the county of Lincoln; and, after having relinquished his preferments and his prospects in the Church, from the most honourable motives, was for some years Minister of the Unitarian Chapel in Essex-street, London. He sustained a painful and lingering illness with a fortitude and dignified composure, founded on the principles of that system of Christianity which he had adopted upon deliberate investigation and mature conviction, with the manly decision and disinterestedness which strongly marked his character. Of those principles he was an able, strenuous, powerful advocate, as his writings, various, useful, and important, abundantly testify. A native energy of sentiment and vivacity of manner, gave an unusual interest and spirit to his conversation, which animated all around him. Distinguished by his rank in society, and adorned by the nobler distinction of his virtues, he was justly eminent in the several departments of Theology and Literature, and highly esteemed and respected in the neighbourhood in which he was resident, in the circle of his numerous and respectable friends, and by all who were competent to judge of the strict honour, purity, consistency, and integrity, which governed all his actions; who knew how to appreciate the ingenuousness, the dignity, and elevation of his mind, the characteristic candour, sincerity, and benevolence of his heart. death of such a man will be long and deeply regretted as a loss to the world, to which he has left a bright and striking example of exalted merit and of genuine excellence.

The booty gained by this atrocious act consisted only of a few bank-notes, a gold-watch, the Colonel's pistols, and the clothes worn the preeeding day. He was a gentleman of the most mild and conciliatory manners, indulgent to his tenantry, and always ready to relieve the distressed.

At Conches, Normandy, Gen. Turreau, who was for some years French Ambassador to the United States.

At Norfolk, America, P. Forde, a native of France, well known for his penurious habits, and strong attachment to the precious metals. During a residence in that place of about 20 years, he continued in the occupation of a retail grocer, upon the most limited scale; his stock in trade never exceeded 200 dollars; yet in this inconsiderable way, he accumulated upwards of 50,000 dollars! The manner in which he lived may in some degree account for an accumulation so disproportionate to the means he employed. He denied himself all the comforts of life, kept no company, and employed no servants, except occasionally a negro boy to stay in the shop when he went out. One room served him for his store, parlour, bed-chamber, and kitchen; and the whole expense of his household would be overrated at 100 dollars a-year. The acquisition of money constituted his only source of enjoyment; for this he gave himself up to a life of wretchedness in other respects, that he might have challenged the compassion of meudicity itself; and be yond this his ideas of happiness neverwandered. About 20,000 dollars were: deposited in the banks, 15,000 dollars he

Near York, Pennsylvania, Mr. Michael' Baird. He was of German extraction, and his father left him a valuable farm of 500 acres, with some farming and household articles. He kept a tavern many years, married, and raised four children. He accumulated an immense property, which he preserved so tenaciously, that he afforded not a dollar for the education of his family. He was never known to lay out one dollar in cash for any article he might be in want of; he would do without it, or would find some person who would barter with him for something he could not sell for cash. He farmed largely, and kept a large distillery, which he supplied entirely with his own grain. kept a team for the conveyance of his whiskey and flour to Baltimore, which, when he could not sell for money at a price that would suit him, he bartered for necessaries for his family and tavern. In this way he amassed an estate of 400,000 dollars. Such was his attachment to money, that he was never known to lend, or credit, a single dollar to any man. Upon the best mortgage or other security that could be given, he would not lend a cent. He never invested one dollar in any of the public funds; neither would he keep the notes of any bank longer than till he could get them changed. He deposited his specie in a large iron chest, until it would hold no more. He then provided a strong iron hooped barrel, which he also filled. After death his strong boxes, "from whose bourne no traveller had ever returned," yielded 230,000 dollars in gold and silver.-The cause of his death was as remarkable as the course of his life. A gentleman from Virginia offered him twelve dollars per bushel for 100 bushels of clover seed; but he would not sell it for less than thirteen dollars, and they did not agree. The seed was afterwards sent to Philadelphia, where it sold for seven dollars per bushel, and brought in the whole 500 dollars less than the Virginian offered for it.-On receiving an account of this sale, he walked through his farm, went to his distillery, and gave various directions to his people. He then went to his waggon-house, and hanged himself.

VOL. LXXXIV. PART II. P. 678. Sir Henry Edwin Stanhope was the only son of Edwin Francis Stanhope, esq. cousin of the Earl of Chesterfield, and gentleman usher to the Queen, and was educated at Winchester College, and afterwards entered at the University of Oxford. He had not been long there, when evincing an unusual activity of mind, he was at the suggestion of the late Earl of Besborough equipped, in 1768, for the naval profession; and, after serving three years on the American station, returned home, and took his degree. The breaking out of the American war again called him into active service, on the coast of New England, till, being ordered to go on shore at Newport in quest of some deserters, he was taken prisoner by the Americans, and after a close confinement for several months, found means to

effect his escape. In 1781, he was promoted to the rank of Post-captain, by Admiral Rodney, in the West Indies, and, from 1782 to 1786, commanded the Mercury frigate, on the American station. He then passed some years in retirement, till 1794; and after serving in various ships, but without any opportunity of acquiring military distinction, he was in 1801, promoted to a flag. In 1805, he was appointed to his last professional employment, the command in the River Thames, at the expiration of which, in 1807, he was advanced to the dignity of a Baronet of the United Kingdom. He married Peggy, daughter of Francis Malbone, esq. of Newport, Rhode Island, by whom he bas left Edwin Francis, bis successor, born in 1793, and four daughters. The deceased Baronet is said to have retained, through life, a strong relish for literary studies, to which he devoted his intervals of leisure. Being desirous of reading the Old Testament in the original, he applied himself to the acquisition of the Hebrew language, "and we have been informed," says the Editor of the Naval Chronicle, in the biographical account of him, (Vol. XV. p. 101.)" that he has nearly completed a Bible with the accented pronunciation of the proper names, according to their derivations from the Hebrew and Greek."

P. 93. The Earl of Lothian accompanied Elliott's Light Horse to Germany, where it acquired such high distinction under the command of the late Duke of Brunswick, and afterwards assisted in some of the expeditions to the coast of France. In 1761 he was promoted to the lieut.-colonelcy of the 12th light dragoons; in 1767, in consequence of the demise of his grandfather, be exchanged the title of Lord Newbottle for that of Earl of Ancram; and by the death of his father in 1775, he became Marquis of Lo

thian. About this period the family sus tained a great loss in consequence of the destruction by fire of Newbotile Abbey, a venerable and antient pile, which recalled the memory of past ages, the magnificence of the monastic institutions, and the for mer grandeur in which the House of Lothian was accustomed to live in Scotland, In 1777, while a major general, the mar quis was appointed to the command of the 1st regiment of horse guards; in 1782, he was promoted to the rank of lieut.-general, and in 1796 to that of general. In 1775 and 1784, he was elected one of the sixteen representative Peers of Scotland; but during the agitation of the Regency question in 1788 and 9, having voted against the Ministry, bis Lordship was dismissed from the command of his regiment of guards, and be has not since been returned to Parliament. He obtained, however, in 1798, the colonelcy of the 11th light dragoons. His Lordship married, in 1760, Elizabeth Fortescue, daughter of Chichester F. Esq. of Dromisken, in Ireland, and niece, by the mother's side, of Lord Mornington, the grandfather of Marquis Wel lesley. By this lady he had issue1. William, Earl of Ancrain, who, in 1793, married Lady Henrietta Hobart (whose marriage with the Earl of Belmore had been dissolved by Act of Parliament), by whom he has a family; and, secondly, ja 1806, Henrietta, youngest daughter of the late Duke of Buccleuch, 2. Charles Beauchamp. 3. Mark Robert, a captain in the royal navy, married to the second daughter of the Marquis of Antrim Robert, a captain in the army, married to Miss Roberts. 5.

Since the death of the Marchioness in 1787, his Lordship has resided almost eutirely in the country of late years he fixed his abode at Farnham, where he lived in great privacy. The vir tues of charity, benevolence, and goodwill towards all men, were never more conspicuous than in the character, and habits of this Nobleman, to whom deserving objects never applied in vain; but his Lordship's means were far from being propor tioned to the goodness of his heart.
