fhip was born Aug. 17, 1723, and was elected M. P. for Norwich 1-4, which he continued to reprefent until he fucceeded to the peerage, on the death of his father, in 1756. He fucceffively enjoyed the honours and emoluments of comptroller of the household to King George II. a lord of the bed-chamber to his prefent Majefty, and fenior of his moft honourable privy-council. He was declared ambaff dor-extraordinary and plenipotentiary to Peter III. Emperor of Ruffia; but that prince departing this life about that time, ie was continued in the fame quality to the pre fent Emprefs. He was appointed lord-lieuteant and viceroy of Ireland in 1776, and Continued in that station till 81. He mar ed, first, Mary-Anne, daughter of Sir Thomas Drury, bart.; by which lady, who died Dec. 30, 1769, he had iffue, 1. Henrietta, married to Lord Belmore, of the kingdom of Ireland, and fince, being divorced, to the Earl of Ancram, fon of the Marq. of Lothian; 2. Caroline, on whom the old family feat and eftate at Blickling are fettled, married to he Hon. Mr. Harbord, eldest son of L. rd SufSeld; 3. Sophia, married to V.fcount ValleJort, fon of the Earl of Mount Edgecumbe. His Lordfhip married, fecondly, Sept. 24, 1770, Caroline, daughter of Wm. Conolly, 1q.of Stratton-hall, co. Stafford; by which lady, who furvives him, he had iffue three fons, who all died young, and Amelia-Anue, born Feb 20, 1772, now unmarried. By his death, his cleft half brother, Mr. Geo. Hobart, formerly a conductor of the opera-entertaiments, and Mrs. Hobart, whofe celebrity cannot be increafed by a title, become Earl and Countefs of Buckinghamshire. Their income will far exceed that of the late Farl, to whofe eftates will now be added the col ateral poffeffions of Mr. Hobart, generally fuppofed to be better than thofe attached to the earldom. Their joint amount will probably be not lefs than 16,ocol. a-year. Major HoEart, the Irish fecretary, becomes Lord Hobart; and Mrs. Cumberland, Mrs. Sullivan, and Mrs. Defborough, the daughters of Mr. Hobart, become the Ladies Albina Cumberland, Henrietta Sullivan, and Charlotte Def-. borough.-Private fociety has feldom experienced a greater lofs than It has fuffered by the death of this amiable Nobleman. Placed in a moft arduous fituation, at the critical period of 1779-80, his adminiftration forms an important epoch in the Hiftory, and Confitution of Ireland; where few, if any, of his predeceffors conducted themselves with more propriety, or encountered greater difficulties. Conciliatory manners, elegant national hofpitality, without intemperance or profufion; generofity, founded on its true bafis, juftice and economy, were the fair characteristicks of Lord Buckinghamshire's administration; and he poffeffed, in an eminent degree, the qualities of a man of rank and fashion,-politenels with eale, and dig ity without pride. 4. Rev. Arthur Dawes, rector of St. Michael, Cornhill. While fitting in a carriage with his wife, at Egham races, he fuddenly complained of illness and dimness of fight, and defired to get out and take a walk, and, while the fervant was aflitting him, expired. At his lodgings in Deptford, the native of Otaheite, lately arrived in the Providence.He was fubject to pulmonary affections, had been frequently ill during the voyage, and twice recovered from imminent danger by the unremitting attentions of his friends, who were ever ready to contribute whatever had a tendency to promote his health and comfort, particularly his patron, Cant. Bligh. This unfortunate young man was feized, fhortly after his arrival, with intestinal complaints, and became much better, when a violent recurrence of his fymptoms, on the morning of the 3 th ult. tended to accelerate his diffolution. His native fuavity of manners hd endeared him to all who knew him, and his death is fincerely lamented by every individual engaged in the expedition, in whofe memory he will long exist.

He was rector of Cockfield in the fame county, and of Woodham Waler in Effex; a man no lefs venerable for his virtues than his years; who, without any extrordinary brilliancy of intellect, had plain good natural parts, which he had digently cultivated. In divinity his reading was conftant, almost to the laft moment of his life. He was rich in the knowledge of the Scriptures, and happy in his manner of expounding; a neat compofer, a grave and dignified preacher; but he was chiefly diftinguished by the more rare and valuable qualities of the heart, by his unaffected picty and unbounded benevo lence. Mildness and condefcenfion, humility and gentleifefs, beamed from his countenance, and influenced all his demeanour, rendering him very amiable in common life, and much regarded by all who knew him. Of the fick he was a diligent and confcientious vifitor; to the poor and needy a liberal benefactor. By his parishioners, among whom he had been abundant in labours more than half a century, he was greatly beloved; and, no doubt, the," Good old Par Jon," as they used affectionately and reverently to ftyle him, will long live in their remembrance. "He was fimple, grave, fincere, In doctrine uncorrupt, in language plain, And plain in manner, decent, folemn, chafte, And natural in gesture. Much impress'd Himfelf, as confcious of his awful charge, And anxious mainly that the flock he fed Might feel it too.

At Fairfield-head, near Longnor, in Staffordshire, at the great age of 114, William Billings, a foldier. He travelled through this extenfive length of time without experiencing a ht of fickness, and at last expired without a groan. Gen. Cadogan, who died a few years fince, was one of the laft of Queen Anne's officers that furvived the great Marlborough, and Billings the laft private in England that ferved under that great commander. His life and death were equally extraordinary: he was born under a hedge, in the year 1679, not an hundred yards from the cottage where where he died. 7. Killed in a fally made by the French from Dunkirk, Col. Moncrieff, a brave and experienced officer of the corps of engineers. The batteries which he directed againit Valenciennes were found, after the furrender of the place, to have done the most damage of any that played upon it. The mortal wound was inflicted by a grape fhot, of a large size, which carried away part of the bone behind the ear, fiadured the ikull above it, and immediately deprived him of his fenfes. He was the eldest fon of James M. efq. of the county of Fife, who, upon the produce of a fmall eftate, fupported, with the greatest integrity and the most independent fpuit, a numerous fan ily. The talents of young Moncrieif obtanied him a recommendation from Sir Harry Erfkine, the father of the prefent Sir J. Erikone St. Clair, to thẻ miltary academy at Woolwich, where he received his education, and whence he was regularly introduced to the corps of engiacers. His fift opportunity of diftinguift ing himself was at the fiege of Savannah, and he used it well; for, by his advice, the furrender of the place to the French was postponed, and finally prevented. By this and other fervices he obtained, in the most honourable way, a confiderable property, which was invested partly in Weft India plantations and partly in Scotland, where he purchafed the estate of Airdrie of Sir John Anftruther. He was not married, fo that his five fifters, of whom two are married and one is a widow, will probably have his property difperfed among them. His body was carried to oftend, and buried on the roth, with military pomp, the Prince and General Ainflie, with all the officers there, attending. Capt. Moncrieff, of whom Sir Keith Elphinftone makes fuch honourable mention in the affair at Toulon, is nephew to the deceased. Suddenly, much refpected, aged 81, Tho.
