out the fruits of expenditure, and slow without the benefits of caution." Early in the spring of the ensuing year, he demanded a Parliamentary committee, to inquire into the circumstances and result of the last campaign in the Spanish Peninsula; the motion was, however, negatived by a majority of 96. The next occasion upon which Lord Wellesley took an active part in the business of Parliament was in the year 1815, when he condemned in unqualified terms the disregard to commercial interests that prevailed in the treaties by which the peace of Europe was then consolidated. The transition from war to peace, and the consequent want of employment, led to much discontent and tumult throughout the country; this was followed by the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, and other restrictive measures. On these occasions the Ministers of the day found in the Marquess an active and formidable opponent. Lord Wellesley once more came into power as Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland in 1822, Sir Robert Peel being the Home Secretary. The known sentiments of his Lordship upon the subject of Catholic claims, made his appointment to the vice-regal government of Ireland extremely unpopular with the Protestant party in that country. The expectations of the Roman Catholics were proportionably raised, and his arrival was converted into a signal for the renewed jealousy and rancour of both parties. The Noble Marquess pursued what was called a conciliatory policy, but this did not protect him from very evident manifestations of public odium, and a daring personal attack was made upon him on his visit to the Theatre in Dublin. This led to judicial proceedings, in which the Orange party considered that they obtained a signal triumph; and the reader need hardly be reminded, that these events gave rise to several long discussions in Parliament, which were carried on with much heat and animosity. His Lordship's government of Ireland commenced with disturbances, insurrections, and conflagrations in the southern counties, which almost reached the suburbs of the capital itself; and these were necessarily followed by the operation of the Insurrection Act, and other coercive measures. There never was a period of his life in which Lord Wellesley had greater difficulties to overcome than

while governing his native country; and though his Irish Administration was not attended with the same brilliant success which marked his Indian career, yet it cannot be denied, that on most occasions during this period, he evinced great wisdom, discretion, and impartiality. The illness and consequent retirement from public life of the Earl of Liverpool had no effect upon the position of the Noble Marquess as LordLieutenant of Ireland; for neither Mr. Canning nor Lord Goderich (now Earl of Ripon) were adverse to the claims of the Roman Catholics. The Duke of Wellington was the next Prime Minister. Whatever might be the hopes and intentions of his Grace, he certainly did not think it expedient to begin his Administration by making an announcement which he knew must be unpalatable to the King, which he afterwards found the utmost difficulty in prevailing on His Majesty to adopt, and which at that moment, he might have found it impossible to render acceptable to the country. The Noble Marquess was then withdrawn from the vice-regal government, and continued out of office till the accession to power of Earl Grey, when a second time he became LordLieutenant of Ireland, having previously for a short period filled the office of Lord High Steward. During the Administration of Sir Robert Peel, 1834-5, Lord Wellesley was of course out of office; but on the formation of the second Melbourne Ministry, in April, 1835, he accepted the appointment of Lord Chamberlain. His Lordship, however, resigned it in the course of the same year, and never afterwards filled any public employment. He had at that period attained the very advanced age of 77; his health began to decline; with the exception of his brothers, the friends of his early years had withdrawn into retirement, or sunk into the grave; and the venerable statesman, who had devoted half a century to the service of three successive Sovereigns-who had lived to see the wisdom of his Indian government gratefully acknowledged, not only by his early contemporaries, but confirmed by subsequent events, and ratified by a succeeding generationthought the time had at length arrived for that season of repose which it is so desirable should intervene between the cessation of active pursuits, and the close of human existence. Although

occasionally differing from his brother, the Duke of Wellington, on political matters, no interruption of fraternal affection ever took place between these distinguished members of a distinguish ed family; and his Grace is well known to have been a frequent visitor at Kingston House, where the Noble Marquess resided for many years previous to his decease. His Lordship is the author of "Substance of a Speech in the House of Commons on the Address, 1794;" "Notes relative to the Peace concluded with the Mahrattas," in which he has given a succinct history of Indian affairs; "Letters to the Government of Fort St. George, relative to the new form of Government established there;" "Letters to the Directors of the East India Company, on the India Trade," &c. As his policy led him to lay great stress on the influence of the public press, he is believed to be author of many other publications of a temporary political character. A collection of his dispatches has also been recently published. Although the title and the surname of the deceased Marquess was Wellesley, yet the family from which he was paternally descended was the ancient house of Cowley or Colley, a member of which was Walter Cowley, Solicitor-General for Ireland, in 1537. The first Baron Mornington, on succeeding to the estates of his cousin, Garret Wellesley, esq., assumed the name of that family, which has ever since been borne by his successors in the Peerage. The Wellesleys, or, as it was formerly spelt, the Wesleys, were of Anglo-Saxon origin; but the Irish branch was founded by a gentleman who was standard bearer to Henry II., and who accompanied that monarch to Ireland, in 1172. He there obtained for his military services large grants of land in the counties of Meath and Kildare, a considerable portion of which bis descendants enjoyed up to a recent period. With the Marquess all those titles which were conferred on himself become extinct; but the Earldom of Mornington, the Viscounty of Wellesley, and the Barony of Mornington, in the Peerage of Ireland, descend to his next brother, Lord Maryborough, because these were honours which their father had enjoyed. By the death of the Marquess, a stall in the order of the Garter, and the office of Custos Rotulorum of the county of Meath become vacant.

The Marquess was a Knight of the Turkish Order of the Crescent, and of the Persian Order of the Lion and Sun.

The following is a brief statement in chronological order of the offices held by the Noble Marquess, the public proceedings in which he participated, and the chief events of his Parliamentary and private life: Born, June 20, 1760. Succeeded his father in the Irish honours, May 22, 1781. Elected a Knight of St. Patrick, 1783. Sworn of the Irish Privy Council, 1793. Returned to the British House of Commons for Beeralsston, 1785. Returned for New Windsor subsequently; created a British Privy Councillor, 1793. Married his first wife, November 29, 1794. Appointed Governor-General of India, 1797. Created a British Peer as Baron Wellesley, October 20, 1797. Created Marquess Wellesley, Dec. 2, 1799. Returned from India, 1805. Appointed Ambassador to the Supreme Central Junta of Spain, July 28, 1809. Returned, Dec., 1809. Appointed Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Dec., 1809. Elected a Knight of the Garter, and resigned the Order of St. Patrick, 1810. Resigned the office of Foreign Secretary, June, 1812. Appointed Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland for the first time, Dec., 1821. Married his second wife, Oct. 29, 1825. Resigned the Lord-Lieutenancy, March, 1828. Appointed Lord Steward, 1831, Resigned, 1833. Appointed Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland for the second time, Sept. 1833. Resigned a second time, Dec., 1834. Appointed Lord Cham berlain to the Household, April, 1835. Resigned the Lord Chamberlainship the same year. Died, Sept. 26th, 1842. On the 2nd of November, 1837, the East India Company came to a resolution to the effect, that they had reason to believe, that the Marquess Wellesley was involved in pecuniary difficulties, and that, therefore, they deemed it to be their duty to offer to him some further acknowledgment of his distinguished services. The resolution proceeded to state that, on the fall of Seringapatam, the sum of 100,0007. was set apart for the Marquess Wellesley-a grant which, on his suggestion, was abandoned to the army. It was afterwards determined to vote to him an annuity of 5,000/., which had ever since been paid; but the Court of proprietors believed, that the Noble Marquess derived very little benefit from the grant; and, under these

circumstances, it was resolved that the sum of 20,000l. be placed in the hands of the chairman, the deputy chairman, and two other persons as trustees, to be applied for the use and benefit of the Marquess Wellesley, in such manner as they might think fit. This grant was accepted, and acknowledged by his Lordship, in a letter addressed to the chairman. The Marquess enjoyed a pension of 2,6931. as Chief Remembrancer of the Exchequer in Ireland.

26. At the Rectory, West Monkton near Taunton, aged 77, Robert Kinglake, esq., M.D.

At Seaton, aged 77, Lieut. Wm. Collins, retired full pay, R.N., son of Major-Gen. A. T. Collins, Col. Commandant Plymouth Div. R. Marines. He accompanied Governor Phillips on the first expedition to New South Wales in 1787, and unfurled the first British flag at Sidney Cove; being invalided home, he was entrusted with the first despatches from Governor Philips, and with the last ever received by France from her celebrated navigator, Adm. De la Perouse.

Sir

28. In George-street, Hanover-square, aged 53, Sir Michael O'Logblen, Bart., Master of the Rolls in Ireland. Michael O'Loghlen was the fourth son of Coleman O'Loghlen, esq., of Portco. Clare, by his second wife, the daugh ter of Michael Finnucane, M.D., of Ennis. Being a member of the church of Rome, his promotion commenced after the accession of the liberal party to power, when he was appointed Third Serjeant Jan. 18, 1831, and Second Serjeant Feb. 1832. In the latter year he was admitted a Bencher of the King's Inns. On the 21st Oct. 1834, he was appointed Solicitor-General, which office he held until the resignation of the Whigs in Jan. following. On the 31st Aug. 1835, he became Attorney-General; on the 12th Nov. 1836, Baron of the Exchequer; and on the 28th Jan. 1837, Master of the Rolls. He was created a Baronet of the United King dom in 1838. In his judicial character, Sir Michael O'Loghlen earned the esteem and admiration of all parties. The Irish papers have contained various eulogies upon his character since his decease, but we shall content ourselves by quoting some remarks made by the present Lord Chancellor on the 8th of

Nov. "Mention having been made of the name of the late Master of the Rolls, I cannot omit this opportunity of stating how much I deplore his decease, and how sincerely I sympathise in the general feeling for his loss, and in the admiration entertained for his virtues. His kind disposition and pleasing manners ensured the regard of those over whom he presided, and his great attainments as a lawyer, his practical knowledge, his untiring industry, and, above all, his earnest desire to promote the ends of justice, demand the respect of all; and in him the judicial bench has indeed lost one of its brightest ornaments." The remains of Sir Michael O'Loghlen were conveyed to Ireland for interment. Sir Michael married in 1817 Bidelia, daughter of Daniel Kelly, esq., .of Dublin, and has left a family of several children. His son, now Sir Coleman O'Loghlen, was called to the Bar in 1841.

At her seat, Bonnington Castle, near Lanark, Lady Mary Rebecca Ross, eldest sister of the Duke of Leinster. She was married in 1799 to Gen. Sir Charles Ross, Bart., Col. of the 37th Foot, who died in 1814, and by whom she had several children.

The Rev. David Dickson, D.D., Minister of St. Cuthbert's, Edinburgh.

At Birmingham, Richard Howley, esq., a gentleman of eccentric habits, and a cousin of the Archbishop of Canterbury. His death was caused by enlargement of the heart.

At Birmingham, the Rev. Adolphe Gabert, D.D., one of the Judges of the Consistory Court of the Principality of Waldeck, and Rector of Mengeringhausen, in Germany.

Aged 72, the Rev. William Jones, Minister of St. Arvan's, Monmouthshire, to which church he was presented in 1802 by the Duke of Beaufort. He was a very active promoter of the cause of missions, and the conversion of the Jews. His funeral was attended by more than 400 persons.

OCTOBER.

2. At Burtington, Vermont, United States, in his 62nd year, the Rev. William Ellery Channing, D.D., late Pastor of the Federal-street congregation in Boston. Dr. Channing was born at Newport, Rhode Island. His grandfather was William Ellery, one

of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. His father was an eminent merchant of Newport. During the early part of his collegiate course at Harvard College, his friends expected that young Channing would pursue the study of medicine, but his attention was turned to divinity by the Hollis Professor at that college. In 1803 Mr. Channing was ordained over the congregation in Federal-street, Boston. The lines between the orthodox and Unitarian denominations were not then so distinct as they have now become; in fact, the term Unitarian was not in general use. Mr. Channing was considered a serious-minded young preacher, of blameless morals, of cultivated taste, strong eloquence, and leaning to evangelical views in theology. Circumstances subsequently gave rise to a more marked division of theological teachers, and Mr. Channing's preaching and writing assumed a more decided character. His congregation, which became more numerous, built him a church, and his reputation in his own school of theology gained ground. Dr. Channing's published sermons during the war of 1812 brought him into general notice. Subsequently, his review of the writings of Milton, his character of Napoleon Buonaparte, and other able performances, established his reputation among the eminent scholars and belles lettres writers of his country and the world. The taunt of the Edinburgh Review," at an early period, that Dr. Channing "touched lofty keys, but with no very great force," was not echoed by the numerous readers and admirers of his writings. Dr. Channing's publications on the subject of American Slavery have attracted no little attention both at home and in Europe. He belonged to no Anti-Slavery Society-he even doubted the wisdom of these Associations-but he was an uncompromising enemy to slavery, and thought, spoke, and wrote accordingly. One of the latest, if not the last performance of Dr. Channing, was on the 1st of August, the anniversary of Emancipation in the British West Indies, when he delivered a discourse in Berkshire county, Massachusetts. A report of it was published, and attracted the admiration even of those who do not espouse the cause in behalf of which Dr. Channing directed so much labour and sympathy. Dr. Channing was a

man of great independence of mind. He was never swayed by popular applause to do an act which his principles condemned. He paid no respect to men on account of their wealth or office. He honoured moral worth wherever he found it. His preaching and his writings were corroborated by a life of high moral character. He loved the cause of peace, and by his tongue and pen did all he could to avert the calamities of war. He spoke out, in intelligible terms on conjugal infidelity and licentiousness. In the pulpit his gravity and solemnity exceeded that of most preachers, and many who boast of more correct theological principles might have taken useful lessons from him, not only in the pulpit but in all his social relations.

2. In St. James's-square, Lieut.-Col. George Thornhill, C.B., formerly of the 13th Light Infantry, and late commanding the 14th Foot. He was made Ensign 1796, in 13th Foot 1797, Lieut. 1798, Capt. 1805, brevet Major 1819, Lieut.-Col. 1828.

In Curzon-street, Mayfair, aged 56, Capt. Joseph Blyth.

In Upper Brook-street, the Hon. Caroline Montagu, daughter of the late Lord Charles Greville Montagu, and grand-daughter of Robert third Duke of Manchester.

At his seat, Higher Hall, near Leigh, Lancashire, in the 59th year of his age, John Hodson Kearsley, esq., a Magistrate and Deputy Lieutenant for the county palatine of Lancaster, and late M.P. for the borough of Wigan. Mr. Kearsley was in politics a staunch Conservative; but, although his political sentiments differed from those of several of his constituents, it is admitted by all that whilst he sat in Parliament for their borough, no one could more faithfully have watched over or more zealously protected the local interests of the town of Wigan. His death will be a source of deep and lasting regret to all, and he has left behind him a good name which will be fondly cherished.

At his seat at Chartley, in the county of Stafford, in the 82nd year of his age, the Right Hon. Washington Shirley, eighth Earl Ferrers and Viscount Tamworth (Sept. 3, 1711), thirteenth Baronet of the Shirleys of Staunton Harold, in the county of Leicester (May 22, 1611).

--

Aged 42, Thomas Butler Chinn, esq., of the Close, Lichfield.

At Castle House, Wivesliscombe, aged 59, Major-Gen. Charles Augustus Walker, of Whetleigh House, near Taunton.

3. At Bath, aged 84, Lieut.-Gen. James Price, of the Bengal army.

Suddenly, after only about an hour's illness, at his seat, Highfield Park, near Hartford Bridge, Hants, aged 70, General the Hon. Sir Galbraith Lowry Cole, G.C.B., K.T.S., Colonel of the 27th Foot, Governor of Gravesend and Tilbury Fort, and a Commissioner of the Royal Military College and the Royal Military Asylum. This dis tinguished officer was the second son of William first Earl of Enniskillen, by Anne his wife, only daughter of Galbraith Lowry Corry, esq., and sister of the first Earl of Belmore; and was therefore uncle of the present peer. He entered the service at an early age with a high and gallant spirit, well fitted for military enterprise, and having passed through the different gradations in rank was, in 1794, appointed to the Lieut.Coloneley of Ward's Foot, and in the January of 1801 was gazetted a Colonel in the Army. He was engaged in action throughout the whole of the Peninsular war, and received the repeated thanks of both Houses of Parliament for his distinguished services throughout that campaign, more particularly at the battles of Salamanca in 1812, Vittoria and the Pyrenees the year following, and at Orthes in 1814. He was second in command at the battle of Maida, and wore a medal for that splendid victory. He received also a cross and four clasps for his gallant services in command of the fourth division at Albuera, Salamanca, Vittoria, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Orthes, and Toulouse. He was present also at the capture of Bordeaux. Sir G. L. Cole was for some time Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, and has been since 1818 to the time of his death Governor of Gravesend and Tilbury Fort. He was also Governor of the Island of Mauritius, and Colonel of the 27th (Enniskillen) Foot, to which he was appointed 16th Dec. 1826. In 1825 he was advanced to the rank of Major-General, and on the 22nd July 1830 he was gazetted General. In the year 1812 he sat in Parliament as Member for the co. of Fermanagh, which was subsequently represented by his nephew, the present Earl of Enniskillen, prior to his succession to the peerage. Sir Lowry Cole

married, June 15, 1815, Lady Frances Harris, younger daughter of James first Earl of Malmesbury; and by that lady, who survives him, he has left issue a son, Arthur Lowry, born in 1817, a Lieutenant in the 43rd Foot, and two daughters, Florence Mary Georgiana and Louisa Katherine.

At Dunkeld House, aged 80, the Most Noble Marjory Duchess of Atholl. She was eldest daughter of James sixteenth Lord Forbes, by Catharine, only daughter of Sir Robert Innes, of Orton and Balvenie, Bart.; was married first in 1786 to John Mackenzie, Lord Macleod, eldest son of the attainted Earl of Cromarty, who died in 1789, without issue; and in 1794 became the second wife of John fourth Duke of Atholl, K.T., who died in 1830.

At Cassel, aged 77, the distinguished German sculptor Ruhl. He was the preceptor of Rauch, of Berlin, and held the appointment of professor at the Academy of Arts at Cassel.

5. At sea, aged 46, Robert Hughes Treherne, esq., many years in the maritime service of the Hon. East India Company.

8. At St. John's, New Brunswick, aged 29, the Hon. Capt. John Hartstonge Pery, of the 30th reg., on that station. He was the third son of Henry late Lord Glentworth, and grandson of the Earl of Limerick.
