1815,]

Rev. Dr. Wynne, E. of Newburgh, Ld. Avonmore.

Arts. She never entered into the marriage state, and died, at the venerable age of 77.

At Pimlico, Joseph Bramah, esq. well known for his improvements and discoveries in various departments of the useful arts. There is not a branch of mechanics which has not been advanced towards perfection by Mr. Bramah's genius; his celebrated locks, his pneumatic engines, his invention for uprooting trees, his preventative against forgery in bank notes, and a multitude of useful and ingenious discoveries, prove that in him his country and society at large have lost a very valuable member.-[We should be obliged to any of our readers, who would enable us olay before the public a circumstantial account of the useful life of this gentleman.] In Queen Ann-steeet, Cavendish-square, the Rev. Luttrell Wynne, L. L D. a gentleman descended from, and allied to, several very respectable families. For thirty-two years he held the valuable rectory of St. Erme, in Cornwall, a benefice in his own disposal, as annexed to his manor of Polzue, and which he resigned about eleyen years s nce in favour of the clergyman who had served it as his curate during that period. This was the only ecclesiastical preferment that he ever possessed: for though he was familiar with the great, he had a mind too independent to solicit their patronage. The education which he received at Eton and at Oxford, (where he was for a long time fellow of All Souls College) he improved by subsequent study, and by his travels in various parts of Europe. Having lived chiefly among the higher ranks of society, he acquired a correct judgment, and an exquisite taste in the polite arts. In the Classics, and in every part of the Belles Lettres; he was eminently versed, and he also possessed a general knowledge of the Sciences.-With these accomplishments his powers of conversation were such as to render him the delight of all who knew him, and these were not a few. Nor were the good qualities of his heart inferior to those of his head: in the discharge of his relative duties, he was highly exemplary. His ear and his purse were ever open to the indigent and distressed: and every public charity, that had any fair claim on his attention, experienced his liberality and sup port. Of this he has given proof in his will, having left, among many other legacies, 501. to the Cornwall Infirmary, and 20l. to the poor of St. Erme. Edward William Stackhouse, esq. one of his nearest relations, is appointed his executor, and succeeds him in his estates.

At Slindon, Sussex, James Anthony Earl of Newburgh, last of the house of Radcliffe, one of the most ancient in Great Britain. His lordship was great grandson of Janics Radclyffe, 2d Earl of Derwentwater, by Lady Mary Tudor, natural daughter of K. Charles 11. by whom he left issue two sons, James and Charles. Both these unfortunate noblemen fell victims to their attachment to

the exiled house of Stuart. James, third Earl of Derwentwater, was beheaded in 1715, and Charles, his brother, suffered in the same cause in the year 1745, when he was taken at sea, and executed on Tower-hill, on a former sentence of high treason. This Charles Radclyffe, (titular Earl of Derwentwater,) left issue by his wife Charlotte Livingstone, in her own right Countess of Newburgh, an only son, who succeeded to his mother's peerage as Earl of Newburgh. Out of the large possessions of his family in Cumberland and Northumberland, now considered to be worth upwards of 40,000l. a year, and appropriated to the use of Greenwich Hospital, he was allowed an annual income of 2,500l. married Barbara, daughter and heiress of Anthony Kemp, esq. of Slindon, and in her right become possessed of that estate, the only landed property enjoyed by their son the late earl. His lordship was born in 1767, succeeded his father in 1786, and in 1789 married Anne, only daughter of the late Sir Thos. Webb, bart. He was a man of exemplary charity and benevolence. In him the villagers in the neighbourhood of his residence have lost a father; for with the employment and assistance which he gave them, they have been enabled not only to endure the burdens imposed by the late war, but, as the country people commonly express themselves, to lay up something comfortable for a rainy day. Though his lordship has died without issue, yet as the title (which is a Scotch one) is extended by patent to heirs female as well as male, the honours become vested in Francis Eyre, esq. as the eldest son of Lady Mary Radcliffe, the only aunt of the late earl, who has left issue capable of inheritance.

At Clytha-house, Monmouthshire, William Charles Yelverton, Viscount Avonmore, Baron of Avonmore, registrar of the high court of Chancery in Ireland, and searcher, packer, and gauger of the port of Cork. His lordship's father, the first viscount, was appointed attorney-general of Ireland in 1782, raised to the peerage in 1795, and promoted to be lord-chief baron of the Exchequer in 1804. The late peer was born in 1762, and succeeded his father in 1805. He married, in 1787, Mary, eldest daughter of John Reade, esq. of East Cams, Hampshire, and has left issue Mary, born 1788; Barry John, born 1790; William Henry, born 1791; Louisa Sarah, born 1795; Augustus, born 1802. His eldest son, of course, suc ceeds to the titles and family estates.

At Bath, Sir William Gibbons, bart. L L.D. of Stanwell-place, Middlesex. He succeeded his father, the second baronet in 1776, having previously married, in 1771, a daughter of the late Admiral Wasson. By this lady he has left four sons and four daughters. John, his eldest son and successor, was in 1795 united to a daughter of the late Richard Tayler, esq. of Charlton-house. Middlesex.

The leading gentlemen of Plymouth are forming themselves into companies to purchase vessels to be employed in the trade of that port. It is proposed to have 40 or 50 sail of from 130 to 140 tons, to bring coal from Sunderland and Newcastle. It is also in contemplation to establish a fishery on the Nymph Bank, on the south coast of Ireland. An experiment was made in the year 1802, under the sanction of the Earl of Hardwicke, then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, when in thirty-seven fathoms of water, considerable quantities of excellent cod and ling were taken, but the scheme was suspended in consequence of the war: no doubt is now entertained of the ultimate success, and the proposers flatter themselves with soon rivaling the Dutch fishery on the Dogger Bank. a meeting held at the Exchange on the 3d of Dec. Mr. Woollcombe, in reply to objections respecting the want of capital in the port, contended that there was capital enough to carry into execution any commercial plans that may be deemed desirable, and gave the following estimate of its property :Real property

HAMPSHIRE.

It is with pleasure we call the attention of the public to the "First Report" of the several district eommittees, in aid of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, now happily established in every deanery throughout this county. It appears that upwards of 6,000 bibles, prayer books, and testaments, with a considerable number of the society's tracts, have been distributed among the lower classes of the community since the commencement of the institution in October, 1813, while the total amount of contributions to carry this benevolent work into effect, will be found to be nearly eighteen hundred pounds. Most earnestly do we hope that these district committees, in aid of the venerable parent society, will continue to receive such an increase of sup port as may enable them to meet the demands which are daily made upon them, and that by their united exertions, the "faith once delivered to the saints," may be preserved in its purity, and the church of England maintain that pre-eminence in the opinions and affections of this enlightened country, to which its sound doctrine, its primitive discipline, and its tolerant spirit, so justly entitle it. Considerable pains have been taken by the committees to make known, by circulating several hundred notices, the publication of the cheap family bible by the parent society, adapted, as its name implies, for general use, and illustrated with notes selected from the most eminent

writers of the established church. Besides many procured by the district committees, 120 copies are sold in the city of Winchester.

By the third report of the Hampshire Society, in co-operation with the National Society for Educating the Infant Poor in the Principles of the Established Church, and on the plan of the Rev. Dr. Bell, it appears that 63 schools have been established in different parts of the county since 1811, and upwards of 4000 children are receiving education in them. From the extensive and rapid progress which this system of education is making throughout the kingdom, we may confidently anticipate a very gratifying improvemeut in the religious and moral character of the country, and hope that, under divine providence, these blessings will not be confined to ourselves, but that we shall be the means of conveying the pure doctrines of Christianity, as exemplified in the veneAt Gloucester, Mrs. Tucker, relict of the rable and beautiful fabric of our established
