În Kingston poor-house, Portsea, John Harcomb. He was originally articled to a soliciter; but, on considerable property falling to him, he launched forth into all those improprieties which soon reduce the most extensive patrimony, and the possessor to comparative misery. When his money was spent, he entered as a private in the 10th Hussars. After serving in this capacity some time, another occurrence placed him again in affluence. He now figured as an officer, kept hunters, &c. spent all bis money, sold his commission, and again enlisted as a private in his former regiment, in which capacity he breathed his last, without a single friend to soothe his last moments.

At Hadleigh, Suffolk, aged 34, Henry Reeve, M. D. of Norwich, member of the Royal College of Physicians in London, and F.L.S.; one of the physicians to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, to Bethel, and to the Lunatic Asylum. steady application to his profession for several of his earlier years, he graduated at Edinburgh in 1803; continued his studies at London; and visited the Continent, with the view of improving himself in the science of medicine, to which he was warmly devoted. His exertions were most successful; for, besides his acquisitions in classical and other literature, he became well versed in the primary object of his pursuit, and was far from a mean proficient in the collateral studies of chemistry and natural history. In 1806 he fixed at Norwich. In 1809 he published a short but instructive " Essay on the Torpidity of Animals ;" and in 1811 he delivered, with great credit to himself, a course of physiological lectures, portions of which his kindness had prompted him to communicate, at stated periods, to an audience of young students of physic in that city. The talents and acquirements of Dr. Reeve were rewarded by a practice, which was quickly increasing, till the unfortunate period at which he was incapacitated from attending to it by the lingering and paisful disease which finally terminated his life.

Mr. Tanch, Vicar of Ormesby, and of Normanby

Normanby in the same county, for nearly half a century. He was an eminent classical scholar; and highly respected for the excellency of his understanding and the amiable qualities of his heart. He will be long and deservedly lamented by his parishioners; for, the amiableness of his disposition, and bis unaffected simplicity of manners, gained him the good will of all: he was content with his situation and income, having never raised his tithes from the presentation to his living by Archbishop Drummond to the day of his death. It is not often that any one is seen to recede from the distinction to which he has a claim seldom can the man of learning forego the satisfaction of making his associates sensible of their inferiority; but nothing of that sort was visible in the subject of this short account.

At Guisborough, in his 80th year, John Arderson, one of the last survivors who fought and conquered with the brave Wolfe, on the heights of Abram, near Quebec. Old John's heart beat high for the honour of his country. He was a native of a village near Stockton, in the county of Durham, whence he removed to London, where he shortly after entered into the army, and was ordered to the West Indies and America. After serving faithfully for many years, he was discharged, and settled in North America at Pensacola in West Florida, where he had land allotted him. The war breaking out again, John preferred the honour of his country to his own personal ease; and being possessed of an ardent disposition, he entered a second time amongst the "Loyal Americans," so called, and was in all the actions and sieges fought in those times; the siege of the Havannah, Quebec, &c. &c. He possessed a great fund of anecdote; and his manly heart dilated with pleasure, in relating the many hair-breadth escapes he had with his beloved Commander Wolfe; with whom he was out on a reconnoissance the evening prior to his lamented fail. After serving his country for 28 years, John retired into private life, without either place or pension.

Though her parting moments were very distressing to herself and husband, each bore the conflict with resignation and submission to the Divine Will.

De

Dec. 9. At Pimlico, Joseph Bramah, esq. It is always a most gratifying task to have to place upon record the merits of those who have been in any degree distinguished for their useful talents or moral worth but how to draw a just picture of his deserts, whose whole career (whether as regards his public or private actions) has been marked by an overflowing and laudable desire to be useful to his fellowcreatures, we confess ourselves to be at some loss. The name of Mr. Bramah, as an engineer and mechanist, is so well known to the whole world, as to render it almost a matter of supererogation to offer any comment upon the profound abilities which he has displayed in the line of his profession: suffice it to say, that the productions of his genius are duly appreciated, and will ever remain a theme for unqualified admiration and unbounded applause, while the Arts and Sciences are patronized and sought after. Intuitive talent in the way of invention and discovery, however, was not the sole distinguishing trait which belonged to Mr. B. : he had an acute, comprehensive, and discerning mind, which made him almost immediately master of the most difficult subjects; and he had a peculiar facility and force of expression, which gave him a vast superiority in all matters under discussion, however diffuse: thus gifted, his arguments seldom failed to convince; and his mode of reasoning being always liberal and un sophisticated, served to stamp them with a character of uncommon value. His integrity and love of principle were, perhaps, the strongest features which marked all his actions; and hence it followed that his society was courted by persons of the highest talent, and of all conditions. Of his religious habits we will briefly observe, that his practical piety and morality, his humanity and active benevolence, will always entitle him to a place in the hearts of good men, who must regard his loss as a public calamity. The deep affliction of his amiable widow and children will of itself speak for him as a husband and a father; and it is at once pleasing and consolatory to know that his death was as easy as his life had been exemplary, and that he sunk into eternity, serene and happy, loving and beloved, surrounded by his whole family, and sincerely lamented by a large and respectable circle of friends and acquaintances.

Dec. 10. At Turnham Green Terrace, Elizabeth, wife of Dr. Moody, of that place, at an advanced period of life, but young to the last in her faculties, brilliant as they were. Blessed with genius by Nature, she took up at an early age a passion for taste in literature, for poetical ingenuity, for wit, and for the charm of style, whether in verse or in prose: a

passion which formed the innocent happiness of her life, and sustained itself against the weight of years.-But it was no barren impulse; for she acquired in her own talents the distinction which in others had interested her youthful attachment and preference: her Muse, in jeux d'esprit, and what are called vers de société, was gracefully animated by wit, in elegant and flowing numbers. But her prose was above all power to admire it enough. Her letters to numerous correspondents had a variety of talent in that branch of written eloquence, which has been seldom equalled in our language by either sex. They reminded her friends of Madame de Sévigné: she had, like her, the talent so well described by Horace Walpole, as the magic of his favourite, that "of spreading leaf-gold over all her subjects." Whatever she wrote, whether serious or comic, was original, flowing, and beautiful, polished off-hand by taste and good sense. To a husband who deserved her, she was an admirable wife. He is himself a person of excellent capacity, improved by no common share of learning and of critical discernment.-She was loved and revered by her servants: their interest was her own; their attachment was filial, and their gratitude enthusiasm. She was pious at heart; not in the exterior alone, but in the conduct and spirit of her lifein every social and moral virtue.-The unshaken constancy of all her affections was a most interesting feature of her character in that view, her loss will be so deeply felt that even Time, the merciful comforter, will be interposed in vain. — But may not the Mourners hope to meet her again, where Death shall part them no more?

Dec. 11. Right. hon. William Hanger, Lord Coleraine. He succeeded his brother John in 1794; and, his Lordship having died without issue, the title and estates devolve on his only brother, Col. George Hanger, of the Waggon Train, who makes the fourth inheritor of the title, which was created in 1762. The first Lord Coleraine purchased the estates of Driffield and Kempsford, co. Glouces ter, which now net 20001. per annum, and, with those in the North of Ireland, make a total rental of 3000%; but, should the incumbrances be removed, in four years hence the rental would be doubled.

In Montague place, in his 79th year, William Strong, esq.

Suddenly, in his 17th year, James Augustus Des Barres Ashfield, second son of Mr. Thomas A. solicitor, Mark-lane, a youth of amiable manuers and rare endowments. It is supposed the recent death of his mother, on the 17th ult. (see p. 606,) brought on the excessive grief of which he died.

At Hackney, aged 39, Elizabeth, wife of Robert Hennell, esq.

At Clifton, Sarah, wife of Archibald Armstrong, esq. late of the Island of Grenada.

At Clifton, in her 15th year, Antoinette, youngest daughter of A. Meertens, esq.

P. 400. a. Lieut.-col. Drummond.--It is some consolation to the surviving relatives, as well as common justice to the memory of an honourable man, who, in the strenuous exertions in his military profession, has fallen in defence of his King and Country, that a faithful narrative of his services should be transmitted to posterity. Upon this laudable princi

Day of

ple, we are gratified in recording, that the late Lieut.-col. William Drummond, of his Majesty's 104th Regiment, and Quarter - master - general, who was killed by the explosion of a mine at Fort Erie, in America, after having gloriously led the central column of the Forces to the attack on the 15th August, 1814, was an officer whose life had been uniformly marked by brilliant actions. At St. Vincent's, when a lieutenant in the 2d West India Regiment, he received the most flattering testimonials from Lieut.-gen. Hunter, under whom he then served.-At the capture of Surinam, he was aid-de-camp to Lieutgen. Sir Charles Green, Commander of the Forces, and was distinguished in his public Dispatches as an officer of the greatest promise.-In the year 1804, the Committee at Lloyd's voted him a sword of one hundred guineas value, for their just appreciation of his talents and intrepidity, in animating by his example the crew of the merchaut-ship Fortitude, onboard which he was a passenger, to a de termined and valorous resistance against the united attacks of two French privateers off the Island of Barbadoes, thereby successfully maintaining the lustre of the British flag.-At the attack on Sackett's Harbour he was severely wounded; and his zealous and meritorious conduct was marked in the public Dispatches as entitling him to the highest approbation.— At Chippawa, and subsequently in every engagement, he invariably exhibited the most eminent qualities of the soldier ; and, in private life, his benevolence and urbanity were equally conspicuous. He was the fifth son of the late John Drummond, esq. of Keltie, in the county of Perth.
