consequence was, that about 300 more of Mr. Dunlop's men in his lime and iron works were thrown out of employment, exclusive of their families.

LONDON AND ITS VICINITY.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

The Gazette of Sept. 13 contains a notice, that application will be made to Parliament in the ensuing Session, for leave to bring in a Bill to form a new street, so as to continue Pall-Mall-East eastward from the King's Mews as far as St. Martin's Church, and to widen the communication between Cockspur-street and Craven-street, between the south front of the Union Club House in Cockspur-street and the north side of the Strand opposite Craven-street; also to form streets on the north and south sides of St. Martin's Church till they intersect the Strand nearly opposite the end of Villiersstreet; also to widen St. Martin's lane on the east and west sides thereof south of Hemming's-row and Chandos-street; and also to form a square or open space opposite Charing-cross, which said square or open space is to have the Union Club House for its boundary to the west, and west side of St. Martin's lane for its boundary to the east; also giving powers to form a new street from the south end of Spring-gardens to Whitehall and Charing-cross, in the line of the court yard called Buckingham-court; also giving powers to widen the south side of Downing-street, and to improve and alter the south side of Downing-square and the north side of Fludyer-street; and also to alter and widen such parts of the present streets as will form entrances into the said intended new streets.

Sept. 14. A public meeting was held at the Horn Tavern, Doctors'-commons, to take into consideration a plan proposed by James Elmes, esq. architect, to render St. Paul's church-yard regular throughout its whole extent, to form a new street from New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, in a direct line to the west grand front of the Cathedral, and two lateral streets to open full views of the north and south porticoes. The Chairman, Mr. Slade, said he was in possession of the original plan of that great architect, Sir C. Wren, which was to make a street from St. Dunstan's church to Whitechapel, by which they might see St. Paul's and Whitechapel, and quays from London-bridge upwards. These, however, had been frustrated by petty and partial jealousies, and he trusted, that would not be the case with the present project. Letters were read from the Abp. of Canterbury, the Earl of Liverpool, the Dukes of Devonshire and Bedford, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, &c. &c. some consenting to become Vice-Presidents, and others declining, but all approving of the plan. Mr. Elmes then explained his plans; he pro

[Sept.

posed a square about the size of Chathamplace, at the west front of St. Paul's, in the centre of which, the committee for erecting the statue of the late King had consented the statue should be placed. A series of resolutions were then agreed to, to the effect that it was desirable to throw open the view of St. Paul's Cathedral.

The workmen are employed in raising a new back to Buckingham House, by which the depth of the structure will be increased. The projections in front of the Palace will form a colonnade of Corinthian pillars. Nothing but the external walls of the old Palace are standing.

The grand front erecting at Whitehall, begins to shew the plan of the architect. That part of Whitehall, near the Banquetting-house, will soon form a stately avenue to the British Senate. The building now raising, promises not only to become a public ornament, but to benefit the nation, by forming a sufficient number of Government Offices, in which the more important duties of the State will be conveniently discharged. The Secretaries of State have been for years packed up, as it were, in Downing-street, with offices not larger than the room of a Police Magistrate.

The vast increase of building about Regent's Park, has suggested the necessity of constructing a reservoir for the supply of water to the new neighbourhood. A work of this kind has been going on for some months, and being now near its completion, attracts a good deal of curiosity. It is advantageously situated on Little Primrose Hill, from which elevation, being 175 feet above the level of the Thames, the liquid body will flow from a point higher than any building in Maryle-bone, and be enabled, consequently, to invade the topmost chamber in the parish with ease. The fluid will be brought from the Thames above Hammersmith, a distance of not less than seven miles. The increase of houses in the parish of Mary-le-bone has been from 9,000 to 14,000 within the last two years. The cost of the work has been computed at 25,000/.

Sept. 3. A dreadful explosion took place on the premises of Mr. Brock, fire-work maker, in Baker's-row, Whitechapel. Mr. B. and his men had quitted the factory to go to breakfast, leaving two apprentices at work filling rockets, when by some accident a spark, caused by friction, communicated to the combustible materials around them and to the Powder Magazine, when the whole premises were blown up, the two boys were much injured, the roofs of the factory and of an adjoining house were blown up a great height, and the falling materials hurt a great number of persons: many persons sitting at breakfast were shaken from their seats, and the tables upset and tea-things broken to pieces. Upwards of 70 houses had their windows demolished.

DUKE OF ST. ALBAN'S.

July 17. At his house in St. James'ssquare, in his 60th year, the most noble William Beauclerk, seventh Duke of St. Alban's, Earl of Burford, Baron of Heddington, and Baron Vere of Hanworth, co. Middlesex. Hereditary Grand Falconer of England, Hereditary Registrar of the Court of Chancery, and Lieutenant of the Royal Navy.

He was the second son of Aubrey fourth Duke of St. Alban's, by Catharine, daughter of Wm. Ponsonby, Earl of Besborough; was boru Dec. 18, 1766. On the 20th of July, 1791, he married first Charlotte-Carter, daughter of the Rev. Robert Carter Thelwall, of Redbourn, who died Oct. 19, 1797, without issue. He martied secondly, March 4, 1799, MariaJanetta, only daughter of John Nelthorpe, esq. of Little Grimsby-house, co. Lincoln, by whom, who died Jan. 17, 1822, he had issue 12 children.

On the death of his nephew, Aubrey, the 6th Duke, who died an infant, Feb. 19, 1816, the late Duke succeeded to the titles; and is himself succeeded by his eldest son Wm. Aubrey de Vere, Earl of Burford.

The remains of the Duke were removed on the 25th from St. James's-square, for interment in the family vault at Lincoln. The procession consisted merely of the hearse and six horses, followed by one mourning coach, containing the butler and housekeeper of the deceased. The funeral was private, that having been tue wish of the deceased nobleman.

DUCHESS OF Dorset.

Ang. 1. At Knole, in Kent, the Duchess Dowager of Dorset. Her Grace was Arabella-Diana Cope, daughter of Sir Charles Cope, of Orton Longueville, bart. by Catharine 5th daughter of Sir Cecil Bishop, of Parham, co. Sussex, bart. (who afterwards married Charles first Earl of Liverpool). She married on the 4th of January, 1790, Joho-Frederick Sackville, 3rd Duke of Dorset, nephew of Charles, 24 Duke, and son of John-Philip Sackville (24 son of Lionel-Cranfield, 1st Duke of Dorset) by Frances, 4th daughter of John Earl Gower. By this nobleman, who died July 19, 1799, her Grace had issue George John-Frederick, 4th Duke, and two daughters, both nobly allianced.

On the 7th of April, 1801, her Grace married Charles Earl Whitworth, G. C. B. D. C. L. the distinguished diplomatist, who died recently. See p. 79.

There is hardly to be found a couple

Her

more generally and deeply lamented than her Grace and his Lordship-kindness, humanity, and benevolence marked every action of their private lives; while his Lordship's public services had obtained for him, honours, rank, and titles. Grace was inconsolable for the death of her husband, to which may in a great measure be attributed her own dissolution. The poor in the neighbourhood of their late residence, have now to deplore a double loss, which will be long and deeply felt by the innumerable objects of their bountiful charity.

The expenses of the funeral of the Duchess of Dorset were estimated to amount to 2,000. The interior of the Churches of Knole and Sevenoaks, in Kent, were hung in black; and, besides 160 of the tenants, by whom her Grace was well beloved, 22 horsemen attended the remains of this distinguished lady to the grave.

EARL OF CRAVEN.

July 30. At his lodgings, West Parade, Cowes, Isle of Wight, after a lingering illness, occasioned by rheumatic gout, in his 55th year, the Right Hon. William Craven, Earl of Craven, co. York, Viscount Uffington, Baron Craven of Hempsted Marshal, Berks, Lord Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum of Berkshire, Recorder of Coventry, Trustee of Rugby School, and a Lieut.-general in the Army.

His Lordship was the eldest son, but third child, of William sixth Baron Craven, by Elizabeth, second daughter of Augustus, fourth Earl of Berkeley; was born Sept. 1. 1770.

His Lordship having taken a passion for a military life at an early period, obtained a command in the Berkshire Militia; but resigning his situation, entered soon afterwards the regular army.

On the death of his father, Sept. 26, 1791, he succeeded to the family title; and his mother (a lady celebrated for her taste and accomplishments) in the following mouth married the Margrave of Anspach and Bareuth.

In 1793 his Lordship was appointed to an Ensigncy in the 43d foot; and the same year to a Lieutenancy in an Inde pendent company, and to a company in the 80th. In the following year he was appointed Major of the 84th and Lieut.colonel, for which last he is said to have given a larger sum than was ever paid before. In this year he served in the campaign in Flanders, and was present

at

OBITUARY.-Admiral Lord Radstock.

at the siege of Nimeguen, and some less important affairs; he subsequently served in the West Indies, and was present at the capture of Trinidad. He was also removed from the 84th to the Buffs, aud from the latter to the 40th foot.

On the first of January, 1798, he was appointed Aid-de Camp to the King, and received the Brevet of Colonel. In 1799 he served at the Helder, was in most of the general actions; and subsequently served in the Mediterranean. On the eighteenth of June, 1801, he was elevated to a Viscounty and Earldom by the titles of Viscount Uffington, co. Berks, and Earl of Craven, co. York. In 1803 he was appointed Colonel of the 9th battalion of Reserve; on Jan. 1, 1805, received the rank of Major-general, and served on the Staff of Great Britain from the commencement of the war till 1809. He received the rank of Lieutenant-General June 4, 1811.

Lord Craven appears to have been équally fond of a nautical, as of a military life, for in 1806 be launched a fine new pleasure-yacht, the Louisa, from the docks at Shoreham, brig-rigged, carrying two twelve and six-pound carronades. He may be said to have originated the Yacht Club, which now forms so delightful and serviceable a portion of our national amusements; at least he was one of its principal early munificent patrons.

On the 12th of December, 1807, his Lordship married Louisa *, second daughter of John Brunton of Norwich, gent. an elegant actress of Covent Garden Theatre. [See vol. LXXVII. 1172.] By her he had issue the present Earl, born July 18, 1809, and three other children, two sous and a daughter.

In November, 1815, his Lordship had the honour of entertaining his present Majesty, then Prince Regent, at his house, Coombe Abbey, in Warwickshire, whence he visited the Marquis of Anglesea, at Beaudesert, and Lichfield; but returned to Coombe Abbey on the eleventh.

When his death was known, all the yachts and vessels in Cowes Harbour and roads carried their flags and burgees halfmast high, out of respect to his Lordship's memory, and the usual salute which was to have been fired on the arrival of their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on a visit to Mr. Nash at East Cowes Castle, was, from a similar feeling, dispensed with.

His remains were received at the Quay, Southampton, on their way to his family

mausoleum at Coombe Abbey, by a bearse and six, and two mourning coaches and four; the hearse was preceded by mutes, and the coronet of the noble Earl was borne on a cushion by a man on horseback: the procession moved through the town about eight o'clock, and arrived at Oxford, Aug. 6, where the body lay in state at the Star Inn.

His Lordship's will was proved in the Prerogative Office, Aug. 29, grant of probate being made to the Right Honourable William Philip, Earl of Sefton, his Lordship's brother-in-law, as one of the executors, power being reserved for the like purpose to the Hon. Henry Augustus Berkeley Craven, and the Hon. Richard Keppel Craven, the brothers, the other executors, whenever they apply for the same. The estates in Berks and Wilts are made subject to debts and legacies, but not so as to exonerate personal property. The testator confirms the settlement of 2000. per annum made to the Countess subsequently to their marriage, and bequeaths to her besides an additional 2000l. per annum for life. Also a priocipal sum of 4000 and the house, furniture, and the grounds at Hampstead Park, for life, the wine, &c. there, and all her jewels. The real estates in Wiltshire and Berkshire are devised to the testator's eldest son, Lord Uffington; those in Middlesex to his second son; and to his third son, charged on the Middlesex estates, 1500l. per annum, and a separate sum of 10,000. The pictures, plate, and furniture at Coombe Abbey, and at Ashdown Park and Hampstead Lodge, are to be considered as heir-looms, and to accompany the devise of those estates accordingly. To Lady Georgiana Craven, his Lordship's sister, he has left 500l. per annum while she continues unmarried; and to Dr. Eden, "for his attention and kindness during his residence in my family, 3001. per annum for life." The Countess is appointed sole guardian of the children during their minority, and Lord Uffington residuary lega. tee. The will is dated the 26th of July, 1825. The personal estate is sworn under 70,000%.

ADMIRAL LORD RADSTOCK.

Aug. 20. In Portland-place, of apoplexy, aged 72, the Right Hon. William Waldegrave, Baron Radstock, of Castletown, Queen's County, Admiral of the Red, K. G. C. B.; President of the Naval Charitable Society, Commissioner of the Church and Corporation Land Tax; a Vice President of the Asylum, and of the Mary-le-bone General Dispensary; and also a Vice President of several other benevolent institutions.
