1815, June 13. In India, from the effects of the harassing campaign in the Nepaul, Col. Anthony Adams, late commandant of the garrison of Delhi, and the younger son of a respectable family in Meath, Ireland.

The surviving intimates of his youth, who, after an absence of 34 years, still cherished the hope of his return, will receive some consolation from knowing that the officers under his command have erected a monument to his memory, to testify, as far as it can do; their affection and respect for those amiable and honourable qualities that marked every period and action of his life.

July 21. At Ceylon, Capt. W. Dunbar Robertson, 19th foot.

Oct. 18. At Quilon, East Indies, suddenly, in his 40th year, Lieut.-col. J. White, 80th foot, brother of Mr. J. White, Paulsgrove, Hants. He commenced a military life in 1793; had since served twenty years in the East Indies, where he was often intrusted with the command of important posts; and at last (after the regiment had received orders to return to Europe), he fell a victim to the climate.

1816. Feb. 15. At Naples, the Prince of Hesse Philipsthal, captain-general of the Neapolitan army.

March 3. In Sloane-street, Wm. Allan, M. D. lately attached to the Medical Staff of the British Forces in Paris.

Aged 64, the veteran performer, Mr. Hugh Sparks. He was descended from a

most respectable Scotch family, and was intended by his parents for the Church. With this view, he received the education necessary to enable him to assume the clerical functions. He, however, preferred the Stage to the Pulpit; and, in 1769, having quitted college abruptly, joined a company of comedians then per forming at Dundee under the management of Mr. Fisher. With this Thespian corps he remained for some years. While attached to it, the company made a voyage to Denmark and Russia. At Copenhagen they performed before the Danish King and Queen; and, at St. Pe tersburg, the Czarina, Catherine II. did not disdain, for a while, to unbend from the cares of government, and witness their representation of several English plays. Mr. Sparks, it is believed, was one of the last survivors of those who formed this expedition. He subsequently belonged to different provincial companies, and was, for a long period, prompter at the Edinburgh theatre, while under the management of Mr. Digges. In 1797, he made his first appearance at Drury-lane Theatre, as Gibby, in "The Wonder," and, from that time until his decease, remained a member of that company. His powers, as an actor, were not of the first order, but his performances were always distinguished by propriety and good sense. He was an excellent judge of dramatic ability: we have rarely met with an individual whose opinion was more impartial, or whose judgment was more correct, when called upon to state his sentiments of theatrical merit. Although the excellence of Garrick, Barry, Digges, Ross, and of many other emiuent actors of the last century, was familiar to him, he never complained, with that querulous affectation which old men generally manifest for that which gave them pleasure in their youth, that the Stage now presented no ability comparable with that which had passed away he was not a laudator temporis acti-but gave to the Stage, as it is at present supported, that meed of praise which it so justly demands. In private life, no man was more beloved than Mr. Sparks, and no man better deserved the esteem in which he was held by those with whom he was acquainted. The mildness of his manners, the habitual cheerfulness and good-humour of his disposition, and the acute intelligence of his mind, rendered him a most agreeable, companion. His tenacious memory was well stored with amusing anecdotes of all the great performers of his day, which, in his convivial hours, he related with great pleasantry. His intercourse with the world did not, as is too frequently the

case,

case, deaden his feelings; no, it served but to call forth the kindest affections and best sympathies of the heart. Benevolent, without ostentation, he never unmoved beheld the tears of the afflicted he never, as far as his power extended, suffered the unfortunate to pass him unrelieved. The remains of Mr. Sparks were interred in the burying-ground of the New Chapel, Tottenham Court-road, and the funeral was most respectably attended.

At Norwich, Mary, widow of the late J. Norris, esq. Colney-hall, Norfolk, daughter of the late Thomas Havers, esq. of Shelton-hall, in the same county.

March 4. At Ilminster, Somersetshire, Mr. William Hicks, surgeon at that place, and fourth son of the late Mr. George Hicks, many years a respectable surgeon at Shefford, Bedfordshire.

At Scremby Hall, near Spilsby, Charles Brackenbury, esq. in the commission of the peace for the parts of Lindsey.

At the Grange, near Grinstead, P. Birkhead, esq.

March 5. At Brompton, where she went for change of air, one of the most amiable of her sex, whose virtues endeared her to all who knew her, the widow of Majorgen. Haviland, 45th regt. daughter-inlaw of the late General Haviland, and niece of the Right Hon. Edmund Burke. She has left one son (now the only representative of that great statesman.)

At Stanton Harcourt, Oxon, Mr. M. Shayler, near 50 years master of the freeschool there.

March 6. In Baker-street, in his 79th year, J. Tasker, esq.

March 7. In Camberwell-grove, Surrey, in his 71st year, Vice-admiral Sir William Mitchel, K. C. B.

Suddenly, having retired to rest apparently in perfect health, Edward Hawkins, esq. of Court Herbert, co. Glamorgan, deeply and justly regretted, not only by his family and friends, but by the whole neighbourhood. Upright, just, and honourable in all his actions, he was an ornament to human nature; the whole tenor of his life was to promote peace and good will amongst men, and it may be justly said of this most excellent man, that he adorned the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

March 8. In Threadneedle-street, aged 72, Mr. Joseph Hearn, an old inhabitant, and for 23 years one of the representatives of Broad-street Ward in the Oommon Council.

In her 82d year, Grace Countess Dowager of Farnham. She was the youngest daughter of Arthur Burdett, esq.; and married to the late Earl Farnham in 1771; by whom she had two daughters.

Lieut.-gen. Sir Wroth Palmer Acland, K. C. B. colonel commandant of the 1st batt. 60th foot.

At his seat of Terling Place, Essex, in his 89th year, John Strutt, esq. lineally descended from Sir Denner Strutt, of an antient family, residing formerly near Warley, in that County. A commonplace memorial will not suffice, for a character so eminently distinguished in the various stations in life which Mr. Strutt so honourably filled. As a Member of Parliament, he was the very independent Representative of the Borough of Maldon, for a series of years; discharging his arduous duties with a firmness of mind and perspicuity of judgment rarely equalled. His opinion was so much esteemed, in many branches of political economy, as to cause him to be consulted occasionally by the ruling Statesmen of those times. After the memorable 27th of July, when so lamentable a disunion took place be tween the Naval commanders, Keppel and Palliser, Mr. Strutt preserved the credit of the House of Commons, by his manly and disinterested determination to prevent a unanimous vote of thanks on the occa sion. He rose intrepidly in his place, and gave his single negative to such a tribute from the Commons of England; conceiving it to be totally unmerited. How well his good sense and fortitude were rewarded may be clearly known, by the concurrent approbation which he obtained, in the same Session, of a large majority of the very same Assembly. On ali occasions, he acted the part of a loyal subject, and a strict adherent to the princi ples of the Constitution, in Church and State; disregarding every motive of personal favour which could warp his determination. As a magistrate, he was inflexible in the due administration of justice; and the tenor of his life was thus regulated on the basis of social order. He has left two sons, as the succèssors of his ample estates and fortune, vis. Joseph Holden Strutt, a colonel in the Essex militia, a near relative, by marriage, to the Duke of Leinster, and Member for the Borough of Maldon; and William Gooday Strutt, who was severely wounded, with the loss of a leg and thigh, some years since, in the gallant defence of one of our Carribee Islands, a generat in the Army, and lieutenant-governor of Quebec.

At Newington-green, Francis Hepden, esq. late of Lawrence-lane, Cheapside.

In his 77th year, John King, esq. in the commission of the peace, and one of the jurats for Maidstone.

Aged 75, Rev. Henry Crowe, M. A. rector of Wolferton, Burnham Deepdale, and Billingford, all in Norfolk, and in the commission of the peace.

At Edinburgh, Mrs. Joan Warrender, daughter of the late Sir John Warrender, bart. of Lochend.

March 14. At the Manor-house, Hayes, aged 49, Mr. W. Walker, the celebrated Astronomical Lecturer, whose eminent abilities as a practical astronomer, and agreeable delivery as an orator, have instructed and amused the young people of this country for many years. This gentleman was the son of Adam Walker, esq. formerly of Conduit-street, Hanover-square, the inventor of the Eidouranion and Celestina, who has long been equally celebrated for his perspicuous and familiar Lectures on Natural Philosophy; and brother to Dean Wal

ker, esq. who still continues the same course of lectures which his father originally read with so much credit. By the simple and agreeable mode which Mr. William Walker contrived of representing the motions and appearances of the heavenly bodies in his Eidouranion,' an interest was given to this divine science, which could scarcely be created by any other means; also the clearness of his delivery, joined to a selection of those branches of astronomy best calculated to please, and excite the attention of a general audience, were such as must be long remembered with pleasure by all who have ever heard him. His knowledge of the properties of instruments, and of the best principles on which they ought to be constructed, was exceeded by none: the collection too which he has left behind him is, perhaps, the first this day in existence for exhibiting the successive changes and improvements that have taken place in this highly important and ingenious department of the arts, from the earliest period down to the present time he has also collected together a rare and valubble library of books, relating to his favourite science, and always embraced the opportunity of adding to it, whatever was deemed curious or worthy the attention of the learned. By the death of Captain Meudoza y Rios (see p. 372) and of Mr. Walker, both events having taken place within a fortnight of each other, this country has to lament the loss of one of its most able theoretical, and of one of its best practical astrono¬ mers. Mr. Walker's talents were not merely confined to astronomy: he acquired no inconsiderable knowledge of the modern languages, and was well versed in the Greek and Latin Classics. At an early period of life he visited most of the principal cities on the Continent, with his father and another gentleman, and remembered well their most curious exhibitions of art and nature. His conversation was extremely polite and agreeable-and few possessed more general information, or could recite more amusing anecdotes, especially of literary and scientific men. But the qualities for which Mr. W. must have been most admired, were the sincerity of his friendship, bis generous hospitality, and his zealous activity to promote the interest and happiness of those to whom he was attached, especially if they pos sessed the least taste for the science or the arts. Mr. Walker has left an amiable widow and family to deplore his loss.

At Edinburgh, Hon. William Baillie, of Polkemmet, late one of the senators of the College of Justice.

March 15. Aged 71, Mr. Isaac Platt, formerly of the Stock Exchange,

At Beverley, Rev. F.-G. Wynne, LL. D. master of the grammar school there.
