At Ewell, Mrs. Smith, wife of Richard Carpenter, S. esq. 69.

At Epsom, the Rev. J. Thomas.

At Kew, Mr. Wall, of Richmond. He suddenly fell down, and instantly died. Mr. Wall had come from Richmond to Kew, with two of his young children and a female servant, purposely to see the Prince Regent pass. He felt down between his children, and was carried lifeless into a neighbouring public-house. Mr. Wall was a very worthy man, very much respected at Richmond, and has left a widow and nine children to lament his premature death. His family has been known at Richmond for upwards of 120 years, as booksellers, stationers, and newsnien, and keepers of the circulating library, since the commencement of that institution.

At his house at Stockwell Park, after a long season of bodily suffering, in the 65th year of his age, Thomas Woodrouffe Smith, an eminent merchant. With an extensive knowledge of the world and its concerns, of which his success in business afforded an ample proof, he possessed, what was much more meritorious, a benevolence of disposition, which, under the guidance of great experience and strict integrity, induced him to render important services on many occasions, to nu merous individuals in the conduct of their affairs. Whilst his body lingered under painful and long-continued infirmity, his mind was vigorously intent opon objects connected with the improvement and well-being of human society, and in this trying period of his existence, his perception seemed to be as alear as his benevolence was ardent. His connection with the religious Society of Friends, was at a period of life, when his judgment might be supposed to confirm his choice upon the stable principle of rational conviction; and, with a strong attachment to the profession he had adopted, he maintained a liberality of sentiment worthy of the enlightened Christian. The loss of such a man must be feit by the community, and is sincerely regretted by the poor in his neighbourhood, who were constant partakers of his bounty.

SUSSEX.

The fate of the Grand Southern Canal Bill (says the Editor of the Lewes Journal) has given general satisfaction; particularly to the landed interest on the proposed line of the canal. It was thrown out at the second reasing in the House of Commons, upon a division, by nearly six to one. The project for cutting the above intended extensive canal, was according to the printed case of the land owners, &c. who successfully opposed the bill, one of the numerous class of speculative projec's set on foot by persons, whose principal object it is to make advantage by the sale of shares in the infancy of an undertaking; and this project would have affected landed property of the value of mil

lions of money! The professed object of the Bill was to convey commodities by water from London to Portsmouth; this was ro have been effected by a cut of about 96 miles in extent, between Portsmouth and Tusbridges from whence the remaining transit to London, was to depend on other navigations, the first of which would have been thirty miles up the river Medway, (a most defective navigation) private property, the owners of which might have refused admittance of craft, unless upon their own terms: the further part of the transit was to have been through the Thames and Medway canal, an unfinished work, and then up the Thames, from below Gravesend to London, making a circuit of more than double the distance from London to Portsmouth, by land! To effect this work, fourteen hundred acres of land, (the greatest part of it in the highest state of cultivation) woeld have been consumed by the canal and reservoirs, and some of the first estates in the country have been literally cut to pieces. The estimated expence of this undertaking was 741,4901. and this would in all probability have been swelled to upwards of a million sterling! How could the interest of such a sum have been raised, in a country without manufactures, and in which manure is at present procured at a much cheaper rate than it could have been by the proposed canal. We have on former occasions ex pressed ourselves good wishers to a canal from London to Portsmouth; and are still of opinion, that a properly chosen line, (and such a one it is said is now in contemplation) ra mifying, by the rivers Adur and Ouse, to the ports of Shoreham and Newhaven, would be found not only convenient, but very advantageous to the kingdom at large.

The commissioners for Newhaven Piers, with a laudable attention to the public cons venience, bave not only caused lights to be exhibited at proper hours in the night, on the Pier-head, but have also placed buoys in such situations, as to mark the channel inoss distinctly in the day-time. The lights are. upon the most simple construction, pointing out the direction of the channel by being kept

in one.

HAMPSHIRE.

That noble pile, Winchester Palace, which was erected by King Charles II. from a design of Sir Christopher Wren, was used in the American war, as a French, Dutch, and Spanish, prison, afterwards formed the reception of French eniigrants, and, till of late, served as military quarters, until from dilapidations, the too great height and size of some of the rooms, and other causes, it was condemned as such.. It is now converted into a permanent barrack for the reception of 1,800 infantry, in comfortable lofty rooms, to contain twelve men each, with some convenient bedsteads (so constructed as when turned up to afford a good seat), large stovegrates, tables, forms, arm-racks, shelves, closets, &c. &c. for the comfort of the soldiers; and excellently ventilated, by means of a simple tube periorated with holes; and what is particularly convenient, in bad wea ther, the whole of the troops may be paraded with ease under cover, in the different ex. tensive galleries. The wings are fitted up in a very superior manner for the officers. The extent of the building from East to West is 216 feet, from North to South 328 feet.

At Bishop's Waltham, the Rev. Charles Walters, curate of that parish. 63. He had for many years, jointly with his brother, the Rev. John Walters, and alto latterly with his son, the Rev. Charles Walters, conducted the grammar-school at Waltham, which has produced masy respectable persons in the army, the navy, and in trade, and whe, from a respect to their tutor, and from friendship formed at school, instituted an anniversary in the town commemorative of past events. He went off from Winchester-college to Trinity. college, Oxford, having lost his election for New-college; and, on quitting school, Dr. Warton took him by the hand, and, with tears at parting said, he had not left his su perior for good morals or orderly conduct. When in deacon's orders, he obtained the chaplaincy of Newport in the Isle of Wight, where he established a school; and after tea years residence there, he, on the death of the Rev. Mr. Evans (who succeeded the Rev. Mr. Gibson, at Bishop's Waitham), removed to that place, carrying many of his pupils with him, and where he raised by his cha racter a respectable seminary, in which he was assiduously assisted by his brother be. fore-gamed, and also by his son. The Sun. day preceding his death, he preached an ani mated discourse to an attentive audience on repentance. On Tuesday he went to the extremity of his parish, to administer the sacrament to a sick gentleman. The next morning, in school, he found himself unwell, and went home to breakfast, became chili, and added to his dress; could not attend

morning

morning prayers, which his son did for him at church; was seized at noon with a pain in his side, was bled, grew rapidly worse, and at midnight peacefully resigned his spirit to his Maker, without pain, struggle, or groan, dying as he had lived. The following Sunday, the worthy rector preached from the Revelations, "I heard a voice from Heaven," &c. to a congregation in tears; and, when he had finished, sat down in the pulpit and wept himself. The funeral, it is competed, was attended by about 1500 persons, whose behaviour expressed their feelings: the parish may be sixteen miles in circumference, and in it 1700 souls. The procession was led by the rector and the two medical gentlemen bare-headed, from the house to the church, through a crowd of spectators, with many of the French aud Dutch prisoners in town, who uncovered as it passed. Opposite the school, the pupils, having formed themselves into two lines, of their own accord, permitted the procession to pass between them, and then fol lowed in the rear of the mourners, and, by their attentive, affectionate, and orderly, conduct, gained the esteem of the whole auditory. The service was read by the rector, and thus terminated the earthly career of a faithful parish priest. These particulars exemplify almost the primitive ages of Christianity, from the mutual love and esteem subsisting between ministers and people. It is mentioned to shew, where such harmony exists, what an excellent tendency it has to promote the happiness of a parish. The se paration was as affectionate as the Apostle Paul experienced, when the church wept at his departure, on his saying, They would see his face no more.

He was going up stairs at an inn in Devizes, where he had arrived on business an hour or two before; 'when he unfortunately missed his hold of the balusters, and fell backward, by which one of his arms was broken, and he was much bruised in the side. He was conveyed home, with faint hopes of his recovery; but medical and surgical skill were unavailing, he lan guished a week, and then expires, in bis 48th year.

At Wedhampton, T. Noyes Lewis, esq.

of the faithful services and attachment of an amiable young woman to his beloved daughter,

whom she survived only three months.

She died 19th of February, 1811. The following is a correct account of the royal sepulchre now constructing in Wolséy's tomb-house at Windsor:This building adjoining the east end of St. George's chapel, was erected by Henry VII. as a mausoleum for himself and his successors; but this monarch having determined on a more noble design at Westminster, this structure remained neg. leeted till Cardinal Wolsey obtained a grant from Henry VIII. The prelate intended it for his own burial place, and with a profusion of expence began a most sumptuous monument, but his disgrace prevented its comple tion. During the civil wars it was despoiled of all its splendour; James I. having converted this building into a Popish chapel, the religious zeat of the populace was exercised in the destruction of its windows and internal decorations. In the ruinous state in which it was. then left it remained till the year 1800, when by order of his Majesty the exterior was in part repaired. Various were the conjectures as to the future appropriation of the building, when in November last the determination to convert it into a royal ceme tery was carried into effect. The workmen employed in removing the earth then discovered two coffins in a stone recess, about three feet below the surface; one containing the remains of Elizabeth Wydville, Queen of Edward IV. the other that of George, the third son of the said king and queen. From this time the work has rapidly proceeded. An excavation has been formed in the dry ruck of chalk, of the whole length and width

of

of the building, to the depth of 15 feet from the surface. In this the sepulchre is constructing. The dimensions of the tomb are 70 feet in length, 28 in width, and 14 in depth. The receptacles for bodies on the sides of the tomb are formed by massive Go❤ thic columns, of an octagon shape, supporting a range of four shelves, each of which in the space between the columns will contain two bodies, the whole range of each side admitting 32 bodies. At the east end are five nicles for the reception of as many coffins. In the middle it is intended that 12 low tombs should be erected for the sovereigns. The sepulchre will thus contain 81 bodies. The columns are of a fiue Bath stone, and the shelves of Yorkshire stone. A subterraneous passage will be carried from the vault to the floor of the choir of St George's cha. pel, in which an aperture will be made for the bodies to descend. From the columns will spring a vaulted roof over the tomb. The building itself is intended for a Chapter-house for the service of the Order of the Garter. la completion of this design, the present cieling painted by Verrio, which is much defaced, will be taken away; and a Gothic roof, in unison with the general character of the building, will be substituted. The whole will undergo a complete repair, many internal decorations are now preparing. pulchre, which is distinguished by a simplicity, elegant and grand, incites the spectator to a solemn consideration of the purposes to which it will be appropriated. The holy places in which the ashes of departed greatness rest, are ever conteniplated with a sacred awe; nor is the impression less powerful, when, in the observation of a mausoleum destined to receive the last remains of existing and unborn grandeur, the mind wanders in the abyss of futurity, and pursues a long succession of monarchs and their progeny who may here sleep, until the tombs render up their dead. The sepulchre is from the desiga of Matthew Wyatt, esq.

Married.] A. J. Croft, esq. eldest son of James Croit, esq. of Greenham Lodge, to Mrs. J. F. Nicholls, relict of J. F. Nicholls, esq. and daughter of H. Mount, esq.-Mr. Thomas Cowceroy, of Woolhampton, to Miss Lovelock, daughter of the late Edward Lovelock, esq. of Newtown.

At Marcham, Mr. Wright, to Miss Osborne.

Ded] At Windsor, aged 79, John Lyster, serjeant and drum-major in the Stafford militia. He had served his country from his "youth up," having fought under his late Majesty George 11. in Germany; with Wolfe, at Quebec; he was likewise at the battle of Bunker's Hill, and was actively and zealously engaged during the greatest part of the Ame

rican war.

He was the senior drum-major in the army, having held that station forty-six years; the last thirty in the above regiment. Lie was highly distinguished in the service by

the peculiar elegance of his salute, and re spected for the integrity of his character. At West Hanney, near Wantage, Mr. John Wicks, 73.

At Marcham, James Symands, esq. At Abingdon, Mrs. Frances Thorpe, 57. At Hurley, near Reading, Edward Shef wood, esq.

At her father's house at Greenham, near Newbury, in the 233 year of her age, Ann Eliza Bicheno, elder daughter of the Rev. J. B. Her death was occasioned by a singular and long protracted constipation of twenty-sevea months! and for two years of which time her general health and good spirits were such as to prevent all alarm, or even suspicion, of the enemy that was silently d positing the materials of death. As a warning buth to such as may be afflicted with this deceiving and dreadrul disease, and to those from whom medical assistance may be sought in similar cases, farther particulars will probably be published in some physical work. But, in recording this melancholy event, it would be injustice to the amiable virtues of the deceased, not to add, that very few leave behind them such traces of female excellence. One chief beauty of her character was, that she shone most in the discharge of the duties of that particular station in which Providence had placed her; kind, open-hearted, and cheerful, she enlivened all around her, and her place in the domestic circle and among her triends, will often be viewed with that meiting reflection, "The place that knew her will know her no more!" But the grief which we suffer for the loss of such valuable friends, is always mingled with a balm to soften its anguish. When we look back and contemplate their lives, what consolation can be greater than to know that they were pious, benevolent, and worthy to be loved? The thought of the death of such cannot be unconnected with that of their immortality; and selfish indeed must that heart be that gives itself up to immoderate sorrow, and obsti nately rejects that comfort, which a wellfounded hope of their arrival at perfection presents. And, in the affliction, which we here record, it is an unspeakable consolation to the parents and friends of the departed, to reflect that, whilst she lived in health, she delighted in doing good, and that when by, the most distressing of diseases, she was called to encounter death, she was able to triumph over his terrors, and to comfort them whe sought to comfort her.

attempts to extinguish them, so that in the course of about four hours nothing was let of the houses but the bare walls.

We are happy in being enabled to correct an error in regard to Sydenham Teast, esq. of Bristol, whose name was included in the obituary of our last Number; having the authority of that respectable gentleman himself, for assuring his friends that he is in good health. If he will take the trouble to refer to the files of the Bristol or Bath papers, he will most probably find the source from which this statement was derived. If resident persons on the spot are often imposed upon in such particulars, it cannot appear surprizing that mistakes of this kind should sometimes creep into the pages of the Monthly Magazine.

At Frome, Sparks Martin Phelps, esq. of Llangwarren, Pembroke, second son of Jolin Martin, esq. of Withybush, to Mary, second daughter of John Douglas Middleton, esq. banker.

Died.] At Bath, in his 84th year, Sir William Addington, who for upwards of twentythree, years was a magistrate of the Public Office, Bow-street, in which situation he evinced a spirit, fidelity, and zeal, for the pub. lic good, highly honourable to his character. In the year 1795, at a meeting in St. PancrasBelds, he was particularly active, and in the suppression of many riots, (especially in those of the year 1780) no magistrate ever stood more conspicuously distinguished. In the memorable affair of Hadfield, he acted with that penetration and firmness, unshaken by popular ferment, for which he was remarkable; and although his judgment at the time was questioned, and conduct severely commented upon, the correctness and integrity of both, were afterwards sanctioned, en the trial of that unfortunate man; by the verdict of a jury, under the direction of Lord Kenyon. Sir William withdrew from his public situation, but the treatment he experienced in this affair, was a source of disquietude to him during his remaining days. In him were united the utmost generosity of disposition, and liberality of sentiment, with accomplishments particularly characteristic of the gentleman and scholar. His elaborate Abridgment of the Penal Statutes,' is a work, which, for utility, and remarkable perspicuity of arrangement, has been greatly admired.-Mrs. Chetwynd, relict of William Henry C. esq. of Grendon, Warwickshire, and aunt to D.
