Aged 69, John Edwards, esq. of Dartmouth-place, Blackheath. early part of his life, he proposed marriage to Miss Pelham, the daughter of Mr. Pelham, then secretary of state, and the niece of the Duke of Newcastle, then first lord of the treasury; but, whether his fortune was not at that time thought sufficient, or his general habits disapproved, his suit was rejected. The circumstances of this proposal and rejection were, at the time, a very general and interesting topic of consideration among the higher circles, The lady preceded her lover but a few years, and unmarried, to the grave.— This Nobleman has been more generally known, and for a much longer period, than any of his contemporaries: and though he has not displayed those talents which naturally attract the attention of mankind, he has never ceased, from his first appearance in the world to the moment when he left it for ever, to be an object of comparative notoriety. There has been no interregnum in the public course of his existence. His first distincEdtion was that of the Turf: his knowledge of which, both in theory and practice, was considered as equal, if not superior, to the most acknowledged adepts of Newmarket. He rode himself in all his principal matches, and was the rival, in that branch of equitatio of the most professional jockies. His famous match with the Duke of Hamilton, the father of the last Nobleman of that titie, and that of the Machine which bore his own name, were long distinguished articles in the annals of Newmarket, and are not yet forgotten. He blended, however, his pursuits of the turf with the more elegant attainments of high life, and was long considered as the first figure in the brilliant circles of fashion. He was the model in dress, equipage, and manners, for all those who aspired to a superiority in exterior appearances. After he had qunted the turf, and had succeeded to the Queensberry titles and estates, his life was distinguished by little else but his, Enjoyments, in which he continued to indulge himself while the faculties of receiving gratification from them remained. His constant residence, and the scene of his pleasure, was London or its vicinity. Scotland he seldom, if ever, visited. His house at Amesbury in Wiltshire, the work of Inigo Jones, and the classical mansion of a former period, he has let, if it be not sold; and his country pleasures were found in his villa at Richmond, which he had fitted up in a style of superior elegance. There he occasionally lived in When' At Mr. Drew's, in Bermondsey-street, Southwark, aged 85 years and six months, Mary Burgis, a single woman. about 12 years old, she went as an assistant servant into the family of an inhabitant of the same parish, with whom, and whose descendants, she continued till her death, an attentive, careful, and faithful servant, a period of 73 years in one family. Dec. 10. In his 27th year, Wm. Boyd, jun. esq. of Mark-lane. At his house in the Circus, Greenwich, Wm. Wheatley, esq. late apothecary and dispenser of the Royal Hospital. At Cowbridge, Glamorganshire, Hugh Wallace, esq. formerly Lieut.-col. of the 16th reg. of foot. Dec, 23. At his house in Piccadilly, in his 86th year, the Right Hon. William Douglas, Duke of Queensberry. His Grace had been for some days afflicted with a severe flux, which all the powers of medicine conld not check. He was appointed Lord of the Bedchamber to his Majesty on his coming to the throne; but, in consequence of the part he took in the question of the Regency in 1789, his name is not to be seen in the Royal household after that period. He was invested with the Green Ribbon in 1764; and at the time of his death was the senior knight of the or-splendour, till the folly of the inhabitants, der, of the Thistle, He succeeded to the dukedom of Queensberry in 1778; and was created an English peer by the title of Baron Douglas of Amesbury, August 8, 1786. He was never married, the by making a vexatious claim at law to a few yards of ground, which, unconscious. of any invasion of parochial rights, he had taken into his inclosure, determined him to quit a place where he considered himself himself as having been grossly insulted, and to which, in various ways, he had been an ample benefactor. Latterly, he lived altogether in Piccadilly, where his figure was daily visible in his balcony, and had become familiar to every one who was in the habit of passing through that great metropolitan thoroughfare. The Duke of Queensberry has obviously been for many years a subject of continual remark, Anecdotes without end have been disseminated about him, many of which are false, and most of them exaggerated; but no man ever contrived to make so much of life as he appears to have done. When his eye-for he had but one was grown dim, and his hearing almost gone, he did not lose his spirits, or fail in making efforts to enjoy what little was left him. He had long lived secundum artem; and the prolongation of his life may, be attributed to this precautionary practice. The predominant feature of the Duke of Queensberry's character was, to use a common phrase,to do what he liked, without caring who was pleased or displeased at it. His wealth was enormous and accumulating; but little is known of any private disposition of it. His charities at Richmond were, indeed, considerable, and his occasional contributions for national purposes were noble ones; and that is all we have ́heard of his private or public benevolence. We can, therefore, conclude this article with no other observation, than that he reached an age beyond the common allotment of man; and was one of the most wealthy subjects of the British Empire. His Grace dying without issue, the titles of Duke of Queensberry and Earl of March are extinct; but his other titles descend, and his immense estates are divided. He is supposed to have died worth more than a million in ready money. The Earldom of Queensberry descends to Sir Charles Douglas of Kilhead, bart. (who married in 1803, Lady Caroline Scot, daughter of the Duke of Buccleugh); with estates amounting to about 12,000%. a year. The Duke of Buccleugh succeeds to the estates of Drumlanrig, and to the title of Earl of Drumlanrig. Lord Douglas succeeds to estates of less consideration, amounting however to between 6 and 70002. a year. Lord Yarmouth succeeds to the greatest part of his disposable property, A legacy of 50,000, is left to the Duke of Somerset, and the same to the Duchess. Dec. 26. Rey, Richard Stubbs, D. D. rector of Fryerning, and vicar of Eastwood in Essex. He was formerly Fellow, of Wadham-college, Oxford; and took the degree of M. A. 1770, and that of D. D. 1783. * Character of the late Mrs. Hill, whose She death is briefly noticed in page 290. Mrs. Hill, the wife of Mr. John Hill, and daughter of the late Dr. Maddox, of Rotherhithe. The cause of the disor der, to whose subtle and too sure, progress of decay she fell a victim, was a cold caught at church, by sitting opposite to an open window in a current of air. bore a lingering illness of 15 months with the most exemplary patience, and contemplated the gradual approaches of death with an entire resignation of spirit and undeviating fortitude of soul, supported by an humble, yet firm confidence in her God, that a life spent in the uniform exercise of piety and virtue would be accepted in his mercy, for the sake of the merits of her Redeemer. If a heart bleeding with regret for her loss may be allowed to add its testimony to her unassuming excellence, it would speak its sorrows, not in the measured language of studied panegyric (for this would ill accord with the meek simplicity of her life or the tranquil submissiveness of her death) but in those words of truth and sympathy, which, while they are sanctioned by the afflictive feelings of an aged mother, a disconsolate husband, and eleven children, left to lament their sad privation, are also justified by the mournful recollections of her friends, and of all who had the happiness of her acquaintance; for to all who knew her, her amiable disposition and engaging manners had justly endeared her.In all the relations of life her conduct exemplified the purest consciousness of duty that could give interest to the Christian and social character-impressed with a due sense of the importance of religion as connecting the duties of this life with the hopes of the next, she preserved to herselfTM the best excitement to the practice of the one by a pious and rational dependence upon the other. Hence she lived the most filial of daughters, the most affectionate of wives, and the most tender of mothers; and she died the good and faithful servant of her God, whom she thus best glorified on earth, by sanctifying her virtues to the higher purpose of attaining the bles sedness of Heaven.
