OBITUARY.

EARL OF ROSCOMMON.

May 15. At his residence, Fitzwilliam Lodge, Blackrock, near Dublin, in his 52nd year, the Right Hon. Michael James Robert Dillon, Earl of Roscommon (1822), and Lord Dillon, Baron of Kilkenny West (1619).

His lordship was born on the 2nd Oct. 1798, the posthumous son of Michael Dillon, esq., Captain in the County of Dublin Militia, who was killed by the rebels in the battle of Ross, June 5, 1798, having married Mary, daughter of the Rev. Richard Griffith, Chaplain of the 17th Light Dragoons. Capt. Dillon was fourth in lineal descent from Patrick Dillon, of Rath, in the Queen's county, seventh son of the first Earl.

On the death of Patrick the eleventh Earl, in 1816, he claimed the peerage; but the House of Lords did not confirm his title to the dignity until the year 1828.

He married, Aug. 19, 1830, Lady Charlotte Talbot, daughter of John Joseph Talbot, esq. and half-sister to the present Earl of Shrewsbury. She was raised to the precedency of an Earl's daughter in 1835, and died Nov. 4, 1843, having had issue an only child, James, who died on the day of his birth in 1831.

The next heir male of the family, Peter Dillon, esq. uncle to the deceased, died near Malaga, in Spain, in the year 1847; and we are not aware whether there is any other surviving person in remainder to the peerage.

It is stated in the Dublin Evening Mail that the rightful claimant to this barren title--for there is no property attached to it-enlisted as a private soldier, and went with his regiment to America, where he is now residing. He is the son of the late Mr. F. Stephen Dillon, who opposed the claim of the late Earl before the House of Lords in 1828, and who died some time afterwards in very embarrassed circumstances. The peerage is now indeed a barren honour, without a single acre attached to it; although in former times the family possessed an immense territory, known as Dillon's Country, which included the whole counties of Westmeath and Longford.

HON. JOHN SIMPSON.

June 5. At Babworth near East Retford, in his 88th year, the Hon. John Simpson, a deputy-lieutenant and magistrate of Nottinghamshire: uncle to the Earl of Bradford and grandfather of the Earl of Yarborough.

This gentleman was the third son of the

Right Hon. Henry Bridgeman, first Lord Bradford, by Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of the Rev. John Simpson, M.A. of Stoke hall, co. Derby. He was born on the 13th May, 1763; and shortly after coming of age succeeded to the estates of his uncle Lindley Simpson, esq. of Babworth, who died Feb. 8, 1785; whereupon, in the same year, he took the name and arms of Simpson by Act of Parliament. A few years after, in 1797, on the death of Miss Addison of Bilton, the only dau. and heiress of the illustrious Addison by Charlotte Countess of Warwick and Holland, he was also made her heir: her mother the Countess having been the only dau. of Sir Thomas Middleton, of Chirk castle, co. Denbigh, Bart. by Charlotte daughter of Sir Orlando Bridgeman, Keeper of the Great Seal.

The estate of Bilton is near Rugby. It was purchased by Addison in 1711 for 10,000l. It now produces an annual revenue of 2,2007. and it is understood that Mr. Simpson has bequeathed it to his daughters.

In 1794 Mr. Simpson served as High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire, and in the same year, on the elevation of his father to the peerage, he succeeded to his seat in the House of Commons, as member for Much Wenlock, which borough he continued to represent during six parliaments, until the dissolution in 1818. In politics Mr. Simpson was of the old Whig school, or, more properly speaking, belonged to the party represented by such men as the late Sir George Saville and the late Earl FitzWilliam. He was for several years Lieut.Colonel in the Derbyshire militia, under the command of Lord George Cavendish.

Mr. Simpson was distinguished by his practical attention to agriculture. In consequence of the sandy soil of his estate at Babworth he resorted to bone tillage, and after some perseverance he transformed a dead and almost barren waste into one of the best cultivated and most productive estates in the county of Nottingham. His drainage of low lands was attended with equally beneficial results, and he was also very successful in the breeding of cattle and sheep. He encouraged improvements in his farms with the greatest liberality; was a stedfast friend to his tenants, and ever accessible to the calls of public business. In all the relations of private life he fulfilled the character of the good old English gentleman.

Mr. Simpson was twice married: first, in 1784, to Henrietta-Frances, only daugh

ter of Sir Thomas Worsley, Bart. of Appuldercombe park in the Isle of Wight, by Lady Elizabeth Boyle, daughter of John Earl of Cork and Orrery. By that lady, who died in 1791, he had issue an only child, Henrietta - Anna - Maria - Charlotte, who was married in 1806 to the Hon. Charles Pelham, afterwards Earl of Yarborough, and died in 1813, having had issue the present Earl, the Hon. Dudley Worsley Pelham, Capt. R.N. and Lady Charlotte (a Bedchamber Woman to the Queen), married in 1810 to Sir Joseph W. Copley, Bart.

Mr. Simpson married secondly, in 1793, Grace, daughter of Samuel Estwicke, esq. formerly of Barbados, and M.P. for Westbury. That lady died in 1839, having had issue seven sons and six daughters: 1. Henry Bridgeman Simpson, esq. who married in 1830 Frances-Emily, youngest daughter of Henry Baring, esq. but has no issue; 2. Charlotte; 3. Orlando, who died an infant; 4. John; 5. Louisa-Elizabeth, married in 1820 to her cousin the Hon. and Rev. Henry-Edmund Bridgeman, and has a very numerous family; 6. and 7. George and Charles, who died in infancy; 8. Caroline, who died in 1839; 9. Isabella; 10. Georgiana, married in 1841 to Lieut.Col. William Eyre, 73d Regt. second son of the late Vice-Adm. Sir George Eyre, K.C.B.; 11. Emily; 12. Arthur, who died in 1812 a midshipman in H.M. ship Tweed; 13. Emily; and 14. the Rev. William Bridgeman, Rector of Babworth, who married in 1837 Lady Frances Laura FitzWilliam, fourth daughter of Earl FitzWilliam, and has issue three sons.

His body was deposited in the family vault at Babworth on the 13th of June, attended by the greater part of his family of both sexes.

SIR THOMAS CARTWRIGHT, G.C.H.

April 17. At Stockholm, in his 56th year, Sir Thomas Cartwright, G.C.H. of Aynhoe, Northamptonshire, her Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Sweden.

Sir Thomas Cartwright was born on the 18th Jan. 1795, and was the son and heir of the late William Ralph Cartwright, esq. M.P. for Northamptonshire, by the Hon. Emma Maude, daughter of Cornwallis, first Viscount Hawarden.

Sir Thomas Cartwright entered upon public life immediately after leaving Christ Church college, Oxford, and, with occasional absences on leave, spent upwards of thirty-five years on the continent at Brussels, Frankfort, and Stockholm, much esteemed everywhere by the diplomatic body to which he belonged, and the courts to which he was accredited. During his

experience abroad he gradually became a great admirer of the foreign policy of Lord Palmerston, to whom, also, as his patron and friend, he was personally much attached.

He was created a Knight Grand Cross of the Hanoverian Guelphic Order in 1834. He succeeded his father in his large landed property on the 4th Jan. 1850 (see a memoir of Mr. Cartwright in our vol. XXVII. p. 428).

Sir Thomas had latterly devoted himself to agricultural pursuits, and the improved breed of cattle, on a farm of no less than eight hundred acres. So great was the interest taken by him in that farm that, by means of weekly reports transmitted by his bailiff, from Aynhoe to Stockholm, he made himself regularly acquainted with every process, even to the work done day by day, and by whom, on every field of the farm. Had his life been prolonged, the neighbourhood and county would soon have seen the head of the Cartwright family again the resident country gentleman, again respected and beloved, like his father, and, like his father, regarded as the friend of everything British, benevolent, and good.

Sir Thomas Cartwright was married at Munich, Nov. 4, 1824, to Mary-ElizabethAugusta, daughter of the Count of Sandizell, in Bavaria. That estimable lady lives to lament his loss, together with two sons, the eldest, now travelling in Italy, William-Cornwallis, born abroad, and bap. tized in England, Jan. 12, 1828, and Thomas-Robert-Brooke, at this time an undergraduate of Merton college, Oxford.

SIR G. W. PREscott, Bart.

April 27. At Caen, in Normandy, aged 49, Sir George William Prescott, the third Bart. (1794), late of Theobalds Park, Hertfordshire.

He was the eldest son of Sir George Beeston Prescott, the second Baronet, by his first wife, Catharine-Creighton, second daughter of Sir Thomas Mills, Kut. Governor of Quebec. He succeeded to the baronetcy on the demise of his father, who died at Paris on the 25th October, 1840, having previously sold Theobalds Park to the late Sir Henry Meux, Bart.

Sir George William Prescott married, first, July 10, 1827, Emily, daughter of Colonel Symes, of Bally Arthur, co. Wicklow; and that lady died without issue Jan. 3, 1829.

He married secondly, July 26, 1845, Eliza, youngest daughter of Henry Hilliar, esq. by whom he has left issue an infant heir, now Sir George Rendlesham Prescott, born in 1846.

SIR WILLIAM KAY, BART.

May 16. At his residence in Pall Mall, aged 73, Sir William Kay, the second Bart. (1803).

He was the son of William Kay, esq. of Montreal, by Anne, daughter of Richard Webber, esq. of Plymouth. He succeeded to the dignity of a Baronet, Oct. 2, 1807, on the death of his great-uncle Sir Brook Watson, alderman and some time M.P. for the city of London, and commissarygeneral of England, who was created a Baronet, with special remainders to his grand-nephews successively, who were the sons of his sister's daughter.

Sir William was some time a deputy commissary-general.

Having died unmarried, he is succeeded in the baronetcy by his brother Brook, who has been an officer in the maritime service of the Hon. East India Company.

SIR JAMES FLOWER, BART. May 17. At Mill Hill, Hendon, Middlesex, aged 55, Sir James Flower, the second Bart. (1809) a Deputy Lieutenant of Herefordshire.

He was the only son and heir of Sir Charles Flower, of Lobb, co. Oxford, and Woodford, Essex, the first Baronet, and an Alderman of London, by the eldest daugh. ter and coheir of Mr. Joseph Squire of Portsmouth.

He succeeded to the baronetcy on the death of his father, Sept. 15, 1834. He served the office of High Sheriff of Norfolk in 1838; and was appointed DeputyLieutenant of Herefordshire in 1843. In 1841 he was returned to Parliament for Thetford, by a double return, together with the Earl of Euston, and was declared on petition in 1842 to have been duly elected. He retired at the dissolution in 1847.

He married Jan. 2, 1816, Mary-Jane, eldest daughter of Sir Walter Stirling, Bart. of Faskine, but had no issue.

The Baronetcy has become extinct; but Sir James had six sisters, five of whom were married.

SIR WILLIAM FIELDEN, BART. May 17. At Feniscowles, Lancashire, in his 79th year, Sir William Fielden, Bart.

He was descended from a respectable family, which has been settled for three centuries in the county of Lancaster, and was uncle to the present Joseph Fielden, esq. of Witton. He was born March 13, 1772, the third son of Joseph Fielden, esq. of Witton, and brother to John Fielden, esq. of Mollington hall, who served the office of High Sheriff of Cheshire in 1803. He was a manufacturer and merchant at

Sir William Fielden was raised to the dignity of a Baronet on the 26th July, 1846; and he retired from Parliament at the dissolution in 1847.

He married, March 30, 1797, MaryHaughton, daughter of the late Edmund Jackson, esq. member of the House of Assembly in Jamaica; by whom he had issue four sons and five daughters. eldest son is now Sir William Henry Fielden.

SIR C. E. CARRINGTON.

His

Nov. 28, 1849. At Exmouth, aged 80, Sir Codrington Edmund Carrington, Knt. a Bencher of the Middle Temple, D.C.L., F.R.S., and F.S.A.

This gentleman was called to the Bar at the Middle Temple, Feb. 10, 1792, and soon afterwards repaired to Calcutta, where he was admitted an Advocate of the Supreme Court of Judicature, and enjoyed the intimate friendship of the great oriental scholar, Sir William Jones.

Ill health obliged him to return to England in 1799, and he was then called upon to prepare a charter of justice for Ceylon. On the 19th March, 1801, he was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Judicature, and Judge of the Vice-Admiralty Court of that island; and he was knighted on the 24th June following. While he held the office of Chief Justice he compiled from the Hindoo, Mussulman, and Dutch codes, the system of laws for Ceylon, by which the island is still governed.

In 1805, ill health having compelled him to resign his appointment, he returned to England, purchased an estate in Buckinghamshire, and became a magistrate and

deputy lieutenant of that county, where he acted for many years as chairman of the quarter sessions.

He published various occasional pamphlets, the most important of which, entitled "An Inquiry into the Laws relative to Public Associations of the People,' " had great influence in prompting the energetic measures adopted by Government in repressing the riots in 1819.

In 1826 he was elected M.P. for St. Mawes, and sat until 1831. He soon afterwards quitted Buckinghamshire, and, during the latter years of his life, he resided principally at St. Heliers in Jersey.

He married, first, Paulina, daughter of John Belli, Esq. of Southampton; and secondly, Mary-Ann, daughter of John Capel, esq. His eldest son is Edmund F. J. Carrington, esq. of Park Hill, Paignton, in Devonshire, and his second son, the Very Rev. H. Carrington, is now Dean and Rector of Bocking in Essex.

GENERAL JAMES ORDE.

General in 1814, to that of Lieut.-General in 1830, and to the full rank of General in 1846.

He married first, in 1811, MargaretMaria Elizabeth, eldest daughter of William Beckford, esq. of Fonthill, Wiltshire, by the Lady Margaret Gordon, daughter ofCharles Earl of Aboyne; she died Sept. 17, 1818; and secondly, Nov. 11, 1829, Lady Elizabeth Susan, widow of Lord Edward O'Brien, Capt. R.N. (brother to the present Marquess of Thomond,) and sister to the present Duke of Beaufort. Her ladyship survives him. We believe he had no issue by either marriage.

LIEUT.-GEN. SIR JOHN BUCHAN, K.C.B.

June 2. In Upper Harley-street, after a lengthened and painful illness, Lieut.General Sir John Buchan, K.C.B. Colonel of the 32d Foot.

Sir John was a native of Kelloe, in Berwickshire. He entered the army as an Ensign in 1795, and the same year obtained his Lieutenancy in the Scotch bri

May 21. At Bushy Park Cottage, Ted- gade. He was actively employed in the dington, General James Orde.

He was the third son of John Orde, esq. by his first wife, Rosamond, only child and heir of James Daglish, esq. of Weet. wood in Northumberland. His eldest brother was Lieut.-Gen. Leonard Shafto Orde, who died in 1820; and his second brother, the Rev. John Orde, Rector of Wensley in Yorkshire, died in January of the present year (see our March magazine, p. 332, where we were in error in stating that he was the son of his father's second marriage).

He was made a Captain in the army, Feb. 6, 1795; appointed to the 91st Foot on the 29th April following: Lieut.-Colonel in the 4th Foot, Aug. 13, 1802, and in the 99th Oct. 17, 1805. He attained the rank of Colonel in the army Jan. 4, 1811.

In 1812, whilst serving with the 99th regiment at Halifax in Nova Scotia, he was subjected to a Court Martial, on charges of flogging without trial and other acts of tyranny and oppression, (the particulars of which will be found in the Royal Military Calendar, 1820,) and being pronounced guilty was sentenced to be cashiered; but in consideration of the disorderly state of the 99th regiment, and of the high and irreproachable character which the prisoner had invariably borne in public and private life, H.R.H. the Prince Regent was pleased to award him his gracious pardon, and command that he should be restored to the functions of his commis. sion.

He was subsequently a member of the Consolidated Board of General Officers, and was promoted to the rank of Major

Mysore war against Tippoo Saib, and was present at the battle of Mallvalley and the assault upon Seringapatam in 1798 and 1799. In the two next years Lieut. Buchan served in the operations against the southern Poligars, on which occasions he relinquished a staff appointment to join his regiment in the field. He subsequently held detached commands in the island of Ceylon during the Kandian war. Afterwards he proceeded to the West Indies, and held a command at the assault and capture of Guadaloupe in 1810. The following year he served with the Portuguese army, and from 1811 until 1814 was employed in Spain and Portugal; during this period he was present in the battles of Vittoria, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Nive, Orthes, and Toulouse. He had received a gold cross and one clasp for his services as Commander of the 7th Portuguese Regiment at Guadaloupe, Vittoria, Pyrenees, Nivelle, and Nive; and the silver medal for Orthes and Toulouse. He had also the medal for Seringapatam. For his services he was in 1831 nominated a K.C.B.; in 1838 appointed Colonel of the 95th Regiment; and in 1843 he was removed to the Colonelcy of the 32d.

LIEUT.-COL. PATRICK CAMPBELL, C.B. May 31. At his residence at Orientalplace, Brighton, Lieut.-Col. Patrick Campbell, C.B. formerly of the 52d Light Infantry.

Lieut.-Colonel Campbell was an officer of very distinguished service. He accompanied the 52d in the expeditions to Ferrol and Cadiz in 1800; he was employed in
