formerly master of the Hotel called by his name in Solo-square. He had retired from business for some years past; and has in private life been no less respectable than in his public character. He was social and festive in his disposition, but temperate in all his enjoyments, and rational In all his habits. Born with sensibilities that made him quick and alive to all that passed around him, he preserved them unimpaired to the last hour. It was a sin. gular and interesting spectacle to behold a man who had passed so large a portion of his life in the Metropolis, with such pure disinterestedness. and such perfect simplicity of character. With a taste, too, for the beauties of Nature, of which he was an enthusiastic admirer, so fresh and unabated: the bud and blossom of the Spring, the expanded flower of Summer, the tinted leaf of Autumn, the hoar frost and spangled icicles of Winter, were seen by him with ever new delight. At the same time his sound understanding, improved by conversation, cultivated by reading, and strengthened by reflection, supplied him with a variety of resources in retirement, to which the minds of ordinary men, who have spent their lives in business, are usually strangers. He knew nothing of the weary hours which so frequently arise from want of occupation and vacuity of mind, and make many a man look back with regret to the business he had quitted.

This excellent woman, of high birth and connexions, was daughter and heiress of Henry Monck; esq. (uncle to the Viscount Monck, of the family of the memorable Duke of Albemarle) by Lady Isabella Bentinck, second daughter of Henry, first Duke of Portland, by Lady Elizabeth Noel, eldest daughter and co-heiress of the Earl of Gainsborough. Although the lustre of her descent was great, her virtues far outshone this distinction: in the performance of every religious and moral duty through life, she was a bright example to the world. Since the death of her lamented Lord, to whom she was fondly attached, from a delicate state of health she withdrew herself from the world, and dedicated the remainder of her days to her children, who deeply deplore the irreparable loss they have sustained by the deprivation of a parent, whose beloved society was one of their greatest blessings in life.
