1825.] S. Barne, Esq. mious man, and had no illness except the gout during his long life.

He was a pupil of Porpora, at Naples, from 1763 til his preceptor's death in 1767. He came to London in 1774, and in the same year produced an opera entitled "Alessandro nell' Indie;" but his name was not sufficiently blazoned to give his performance much eclat, or indeed to excite the attention it deserved. He settled in Edinborgh, but returned to London in 1788. In that year he published three volumes of English Sungs, with original accompaniments, a work which was moderately successful. In 1796 he entered into partnership with Mr. John Louis Dussek, in the Haymarket, and they were appointed music-sellers to the Royal Family. Mr. Cori published a great deal of his own music; but the works by which he is chiefly known in England, are his opera of The Travellers," the Bird Song in The Cabinet," and a treatise on singing, in two vols. called "The Singer's Preceptor."

He was brother to Natale Corri, a singing-master of reputation at Edin burgh, uncle of Mad, Frances and Rosalie Corri, songstresses, and father of Haydn Corri, pianist and singing-master of Dublin, Montague Corri of Manchester, performer at several theatres, and a fencing-master, and of Mrs. Moralt, late Mrs. Dussek, late of the Opera House.

SNOWDON BARNE. ESQ.

July 3. At Dunwich, aged 68, Snowdon Barne, esq. L.L.B. Lord Treasurer's Remembrancer in the Court of Exchequer, a Bencher of the Inner Temple, and Fellow of Trinity Hail, Cambridge.

He was the third sou of Miles Barne, esq. of Sotterby Hall, Suffolk, was educated at Westminster School, and proceeded thence to Trinity Hall in 1774, where he took the degree of LL.B. in 1781, and in 1786 was elected Fellow. He was called to the Bar in 1781, and for some years went the Western Circuit; but not making that progress in his profession which, from his abilities aud information, might have been expected, he virtually relinquished it in 1798. At the general election in 1796, he was returned to Parliament by the family borough of Dunwich, which he continued to represent during five Parliaments, till the dissolution in 1812. On the formation of the ministry in 1807, which succeeded that of which Lord Grenville was the head, he was offered by Mr. Perceval the place of Secretary to the Treasury; but not considering himself as equal to the exertion which that situation required, after a few hours deliberation he declined the acceptance of it. In 1809, however, on Mr. GENT. MAG. July, 1825.

[blocks in formation]

Perceval's becoming Prime Minister, he was appointed a Lord of the Treasury, and held that office till 1812, when, ON the ever-to-be-lamented 'assassination of that gentleman, who had a high esteem for him, and to whom he was very much attached, he was moved thence to the Board of Customs, of which he was nominated Deputy Chairman in 1819, on the retirement of Messrs. Roe and Luttrell. In the beginning of 1822, he had a stroke of the palsy, from which he in a great degree, but by no means completely recovered, and the effects of which rendered it necessary for him to resign his situation at the Custom House in 1823. His death, though his friends must have been in a degree prepared for it, was sudden, as two days before it took place he was singularly' well; it was occasioned not by disease, but by a general decay of nature.

Without possessing any very splendid' talents or very extensive learning, Mr. Snowdon Barne was universally considered as an extremely sensible and rightminded man, a most agreeable companion, full of anecilote, and intimately acquainted with all that had been passing in the world during the eventful times in which he lived. He was a man of the hghest honour and integrity, and, like the rest of his family, was peculiarly kind and obliging to servants and dependents. In the performance of his official duties at the Treasury and in the Custom House he was steady, diligent, and attentive, and at both places was universally respected and beloved by those who filled inferior stations, for his condescending behaviour, and complete exemption from every thing like arrogance and assumption. His remains were privately interred on the 11th, in the family vault at Sotterby.

'MR. T. WALTERS.

To the brief notice of this gentleman in p. 571, we are enabled to add the following memoir, as a companion to those of his two brothers, which appeared in our numbers for March 1811, and Aug. 1812.

Mr. Walter's father was an officer in the Dock-yard at Portsmouth; respectable in station, and still more respectable in character, as a man of general worth, and of the strictest integrity in his office. He died in early life (while his eldest son, the late lamented Curate of Waltham, was a scholar on the foundation at Winchester › College), leaving his three sons to the care of his widow. By her, and his eldest brother (who, after his father's death, became a father to his younger brothers), Mr. T. Walters was brought up. He was introduced into life at an early age, and settled in London, where he resided, en

gaged in the daily concerns of business, till within two or three years of his death. His commercial transactions brought him acquainted with many persons of respect ability and influence in the metropolis, especially in the Merchant Taylors' Com-. pany, of which he was for many years a member, and once Warden, and in the proceedings of which he formerly took an active part. Educated in the principles of the strictest loyalty, he distinguished himself at an early period of the late war. by strenuous exertions in the formation of a Volunteer corps; retaining for himself, however, only the unobtrusive rank of a private. The writer of this memoir is in possession of a correspondence between him and the late highly-respected Marquis Coruwallis, on the subject of this act of loyalty and patriotism. Thus, employed in a sphere of usefulness, and in the details of daily business, life passed away,

At length, his constitution being broken by acute disease, and his spirits wasted by the toils of an active life, he retired to that quiet for which he had long sighed, and to the country, of which he had always been passionately fond. But his retirement afforded him not that relief and com

fort which he flattered himself would have cheered his declining years. Bodily suffering and mental anxiety pursued him into his retreat, and destroyed much of its anticipated enjoyment.. Still his intellectual vigour and his colloquial powers were unimpaired; and among his friends his spirits seemed yet buoyant; for he had ever been a cheerful, as well as intelligent companion. He had travelled much in various parts of England; and always returned from his tours gratified by the contemplation of the beauties of nature, and replete with fresh observations on men and manners, on the works of art, and the venerable remains of antiquity. Of the latter he was particularly fond; the sight of a castle, an abbey, or a cathedral, often drew him aside from his straight course, while the interest with which he viewed it was heightened by the remembrance of its former history, and the remarkable incidents connected with it, which an accurate knowledge of past times, and a retentive memory, readily, suggested. This was particularly the case with regard to London; there he was. indeed at home, intimately acquainted with the general history and local incidents of that vast city. Often has the writer of this Memoir enjoyed his society, there; often has he been conducted, by his intelligent companion, to objects of historical interest, (some, from their secluded situation, known perhaps but to few,) and has listened to the auimated detail of scenes long since gone by, and

transactions for the most part forgotten On these subjects Mr. Walters' feelings were those of a true Englishman, well read in the history of his native and much-loved country,

But these intellectual qualities of Mr. Walters were secondary to those social, relative, and religious principles by which he was distinguished. He was a warmhearted and sincere friend, a kind husband, an affectionate father, whose chief earthly thoughts and affections were devoted to the welfare and happiness of his children, to promote which he never hesitated at any sacrifices. The death of his eldest son, (the "rising architect," mentioned in p. 571,) was a severe blow; but the faith and hope of a Christian enabled Mr. Walters to meet it with becoming resignation, for he had been early trained in Christian principles. His mother was a woman of strong sense aud exemplary piety; and by her he and his brothers were, led in the right way, and exhibited in their subsequent conduct,

four years in Italy, devoting his time to the public performance of his clerical duties at the English Chapel at Rome, and that of the Ambassador at Naples, and to the study and contemplation of the interesting objects with which those classical shores abound; and having qualified himself for a full and minute examination of those regions, doubly interesting as being the sources of both sacred and profane history, he set out from Malta in August last, on a tour to Egypt and the Holy Land, accompanied by Dr. Bromhead, of Cambridge, and Mr. Lewis, of the Navy. Having penetrated beyond the second cataract of the Nile, the party returned to Cairo, from whence they proceeded to Mount Sinai. The fatigue of this journey, the inclemency of the weather, and the privations inseparable from travelling in those countries, so weakened him (although he left Cairo apparently in perfect health), that after stopping a few days at Mount Sinai to recruit his strength, he was unable to reach Tor, and, under circumstances fraught with the most deep and awful interest, expired on his camel in the Pass Wady Hebram, near Mount Serbal. His remains were deposited by his companions in the burying-ground of a Greek church, near the Wells of Elim, a spot which he had expressed the most anxious wish to visit, and which, to use the words of his friend, Dr. Bromhead, "Could he have foreseen his fate, he would probably have selected as his last earthly abode."

This venerable and well-known divine was educated at Magdalen College, where he proceeded M.A. 1768, B.D. 1788, D.D. 1789, and became a Fellow. He was presented to the Rectory of Over-Warton, with the annexed Perpetual Curacy of Nether Warton, by W. Wilson, esq. and T. Cartwright, esq. of Aynho, in 1771; Berkhampstead in 1789, by the Marquess of Salisbury; and to the first portion of Waddesdon in the same year, by the Duke of Marlborough. In 1792 he succeeded Dr. Hemington as Canon of Christ Church. He married the daughter of Robert Jenner, D.C.L. and Regius Professor of Civil Law; by which lady, whom he survived many years, he had several children; all of whom are dead, except two daughters; one of whom is married to the Rev. Edward Marshall, M.A. late Fellow of Oriel College,

and now Incumbent of Iffley, near Oxford; the other is still unmarried. A brother of Dr. Burton, who is one of the Judges of the Court of King's Bench, in Ireland, and a sister residing in Oxford, still survive him. His urbane, kind, and hospitable disposition rendered him beloved and respected by a large circle of friends. His faculties were unimpaired to the last; and he was remarkable for a most retentive memory, which enabled him to entertain his friends with anecdotes of the wits and eccentric characters of years long past; and the anecdotist is indebted to the Doctor for many tales of Oxford men, which, but for him, would long His since have been buried in oblivion. remains were deposited, on the 7th of July, in the family vault at Fetcham, near Leatherhead.
