His grace married Elizabeth, only daughter of the late Duke of Montagu, by whom he left two sons and four daughters. He possessed a princely fortune, of which a considerable share was devoted to acts of public and private liberality. He was extremely affable in his manners, easy of access, humane and benevolent. He possessed great political influence.

12. General Sir James Henry Craig, K. B. late Governor-inChief of British North America.

Sir Thomas Co head, formerly M. P. for Bramber, aged 77.

14. Edward Hasted, esq. FR.S. and S. A. aged 80, the historian of the county of Kent. In the

composition of this work he employed 40 years, during which he spared no pains or expense to bring it to maturity; at the same time he acted with zeal and vigour as a magistrate and deputy-lieutenant of the county. Mr. Hasted was the son of Edw. Hasted, of Hawley, in Kent, esq. and barrister at-law, descended from the noble family of Clifford. His mother was of the ancient family of the Dingleys in the Isle of Wight. He was married, and left four sons and two daughters. Having met with adverse fortune in his latter years, he quitted Kent, and for some time lived in obscurity. A few years ago he was presented by the Earl of Radnor to the mastership of Lady Hungerford's hospital at Corsham, 'Wiltshire, a comfortable asylum, to which he removed, and where he died. Having also obtained a decree in chancery for the recovery of his estates in Kent, of which he had been defrauded, he was restored to a state of independent competency.

Rodrigo, Major-Gen. M'Kinnon.
He was descended from an ancient
family in Scotland, and entered at
an early age in the Coldstream regi-
ment of guards. He first served
under the Duke of York in Hol-
land. At the rebellion in Ireland
he was brigade-major to General
Sir G. Nugent, and distinguished
himself equally by his courage and
humanity. He was in the expedi-
tion in Egypt; in Germany with
Lord Cathcart; and at the taking
of Copenhagen. In 1808, he em-
barked for the Peninsula, and fought
with great reputation under Lord
Wellington. He was married to the

engaged in various controversies
and reforming plans which have
rendered his name celebrated. Mrs.
Jebb entered with great spirit and
intelligence into all her husband's
views, and even took up the pen
in their support. She was parti-
cularly the assailant of Dr. Powell,
master of St. John's college, the
chief academical adversary of Dr.
Jebb; and it was on occasion of a
pamphlet against him, under the
signature of Priscilla, that Dr. Paley

earnestness of disposition she united
all the amiable softness of the
female character, and was not less-
estimable for the qualities of the
heart than for those of the under-
standing. Her frame was so slight
and feeble, whilst her manner was
so animated, that she seemed rather
soul than body; and it was a
wonder that the frail tenement of
clay could so long harbour a mind
of such activity.

He had received in his youth a serious injury in the head from a fall into an area out of an upper window, which rendered him unfit for public life, and was doubtless the cause of some of his peculiarities. He lived a bachelor; and on his death his landed property came to the Duke of Devonshire, and his personal estate to his maternal cousins, the Earls of Ashburnham and Bridgewater, and the Hon. F. Egerton.
