SUFFOLK. Married Mr. William Rose, of Boxford, to Miss E. Wright, youngest daughter of William W. esq, of Coshall. Died The Rev. John Brand, M.A. rector of St. George, Southwark, and vicar of Wickham, Skeith, in this county. He was formerly of Caius College, Cambridge, where he proceeded A.B. 1766. A.M. 1769. When he had obtained the latter degree, he wrote an ethical essay, entitled Conscience," intended as a candidate for one of the Seatonian prizes; but an accidental delay which it met with upon the road, occasioned its being presented to the vice-chancellor two days after the appointed time, and on that account, it could not be admitted to the competitions. Mr. Brand, however, published his poem in a quarto pamphlet, in 1772, and it met with applause for some bold and poetical passages which it contains. His subsequent publications have been: Observations on some of the probable Effects of Mr. Gilbert's Bill, (with Remarks deduced from Dr. Price's Account of the National Debt);" a pamphlet, 8vo. 1776. "The Alferation ofthe Constitution of the House of Com mons,and the Inequality of the Land-tax Con sidered conjointly," a pamphlet 8vo. 1793. A Sermon, on Luke xix. 41 42. preached on the occasion of the Fast, Feb. 28. 1794," 4to. and Considerations on the Depression of the Funds, and the present Embarrassments of Circulation; with Propositions for some Remedies to each," a pamphlet, 8vo. 1797. The profundity and ingenuity of Mr. Brand's political pamphlets, gained him very distinguished credit. He was an excellent calcuTator, a powerful reasoner, and a very acute, and able writer. Of the pamphlet on the Alteration of the Constitution of the House of Commons, and the Inequality of the Land-tax, it may be said in particular, that the press has seldom produced a more masterly production. At Saxmundham, C. Bell, esq. 77. At Bury, Mrs. Hubbard.-Mrs. Plumb, wife of Mr. P. schoolmaster.--Mrs. Rogers,71. At Eye, Thomas Nash, esq. surgeon, 59. By whose death the public have to regret the loss of an eminent and skilful practitioner, his friends a most generous and convivial companion, amongst a large circle of whom He was sincerely respected. He served the office of bailiff of the borough of Eye six months, with the greatest integrity. At Stradbrook, Mr Simon Borrett, 75. At Cretingfield, Dr. Rodbard, formefly an eminent physician at Ipswich, 84. At Yoxford, Ms. Howard, daughter of the late T Sismey, esq. of Leicester. At Oakley, Mrs. Gudgeon. At Newmarket, Miss Fisher, only daughter of Mr. F. of the theatre of that town, 18. Mr. Jonathan Poulter, At the Parsonage, Wetherden, the Rev. Richard Shepherd, D.D. formerly of Corpus Christi-college, Oxford, rector of Wetherden, and Helmingham, in this county, and archdeacon of Bedford, 78.-He was an instance of very considerable erudition, united with rare condescensión; and though he filled an office of dignity in the church, he was not the less attentive to the humbler, but equally important duties of a parish-priest. In him the poor will long deplore the loss of a kind benefactor, and all of a zealous pastor. His publications, which are various, all breathe the spirit of a mild benevolence; and evince the liberal and enlightened divine, added to the pious and rational philosopher. At Palgrave, Mrs. Lloyd, the wife of the Rev. C. Lloyd. The situation in which she had been for many years placed, was arduous and important. In addition to the care of a young, numerous, and increasing family of her own, she bad to superin end the domestic concerns of a flourishing school of the first respectability. The accurate judgment, unremitting care, and maternal kindness, with which she performed her duty in this capa city, secured the esteem, and excited the gra titude of all concerned. As a wife, her memory will always be revered by him who knew her by that endearing name. Her loss to him is the loss of a steady, faithful, and affectionate, friend, and of a calm, dispassionate, and judicious, monitor. As a mother,. her affection for her children, though ardent and uniform, was always tempered by pru-, dence and judgment. Too wise, too compassionate to sacrince their future interests to the gratification of the humours and fancies of childhood, her aim was to check, as it rose, every improper feeling, and rectify, in its birth, every wrong idea peculiar to this age; to inculcate and exact obedience to precepts which had reference to the whole of their existence, which contemplated their usefulness and respectability here, and their eternal happiness hereafter. In forming an opinion upon any subject, she exercised the most mature deliberation; but when once her conclusions were drawn, when the course, of conduct which she ought to follow was clearly ascer tained, she pursued it with a perseverance. which nothing could abate. In her were happily united firmness of mind and suavity of manners. 1o all the trials and dangers of life, she was perfectly calm and collected; an entire stranger to every boisterous and angry passion. A character so amiable, so eminently and steadily virtuous, could not fail to obtain universal respect and esteem. Every tongue is eloquent in her praise. Poverty blesses her memory, and bedews her grave with the tear of gratitude. The powerful principles of rational religion were the seed from which sprang such an abundant harvest of good works. Her God was her father, and her brethren mankind. The first alarming symptoms of the fatal disorder which termi nated pated the life of this excellent woman, appeared in August last, and soon deprived her friends of the least hope of her recovery. From its commencement to its close, every day witnessed the gradual progress of her malady, and afforded proofs, from within and from without, that her dissolution was fast approaching. To her a scene of trial was a scene of glory. Sufferings unveiled the beauty of holiness which adorned the saint. For bidden to indulge the dearest hopes which animate the breast of a parent, those of seeing her offspring rise up to be blessings to the world, expecting every moment, amidst the pains and sorrows of a lingering illness, to close for ever her eyes on the objects of her fondest affection, though Long at her couch Death took his patient stand, And menaced oft, and oft withheld the blow." The days of her affiction passed away, and not a murmur escaped the lips of the dying Christian. With patience she ran the race that was set before her. However dark and rugged the path which conducts to the valley of the shadow of Death, she trod it with a firm and unhesitating step. She has arrived at her destined goal, and her reward is sure.

The Anniversary Meeting of the Bath and West of England Society, held at Hetlinghouse, Bath, was most numerously attended by nobility, members of Parliament, and principal gentlemen of the Society, from various parts of the West of England, and of the kingdom at large. The Duke of Gloucester was present, and condescended to become an honorary member. The exhibitions of Live Stock were deemed better than for several years past. The samples of manufacture in broad cloth, kerseymere, corduroys, shawls, stockings, &c. were numerous, and most excellent, evincing the growing importance of the Anglo-Merino wool, from which they were were made, and which, so far from degenerating, evidently increases in firmness of pile, to the great satisfaction of the Society, and with every prospect of permanent advantage to the community. Carcasses, also, of this mixture of sheep were exhibited in a slaughtered, state, the mutton of which appeared very fine. Several useful implements in mechanics were produced for the Society's approbation. The Committee of Superintendance reported on the progress and result of their labours during the past year, and, in particular, in connection with the Committee of Staple Regulation, on the further arrange ments they had made to perfect the views of the Society in respect to the growth, manufacture, and sale of improved British Wool. The Committee of Chemical Research reported, that the few samples of Soils, &c. which had been sent to the Society, had been" carefully analyzed by their Chemical Professor Mr. Boyd; and that their funds had been sufficient for every purpose. With a view to overcome a “prevailing prejudice, by demonstrating the possibility, by proper selection, of uniting form and quality of carcase with a fine fleece, Mr. Gordon Gray exhibited two one-thear Wether Sheep, from a Ryeland Ewe; a second cross from Dr. Parry's AngloMerino Ram, These sheep, before and after slaughtering, were very much admired. Mr. Gordon Gray's fat Sheep was deemed by the judges the best as to form and qualify, but he was precluded from the premium by a standing rule of the Society. The Meeting, fully satisfied with the perfection to which the Wools of this county have been brought, resolved, that a Premium be offered for the Snest Piece of Navy Blue Cloth, made from Wool grown in any county. The thanks of the Meeting were given to Sir JC. Hippisley, bart. for a Copy of the Second Report of the Committee of the House of Commons on the Highways of the Kingdom and at his request a large Committee of the Society was appointed to receive and digest information respecting the Highways of the Western Counties-Dr. Parry having read to the Sosiety an account of the symptoms and cause of the disease in Sheep called Giddiness, ilu lustrated by dissections and anatomical prepa rations, and of an operation performed on a living animal with a view to the cute, by Mr. George Norman, the thanks of the Society were unanimously voted to Dr. Parry and Mr. Norman; and a request made to them that they would continue to favour the Society with communications on similar subjects. — The thanks of the Meeting were also - to Sif Húgh Inglis and Sir Charles and Robert Barclay, esq for their cumtion on the subject of Barley Wheat; Boyd and Dr. Wilkinson, for their nal&amistance; and to the Rev.

DEATH ABROAD. At Corunna, in his 24th year, the honourable major Charles Stanhope. This young man was second son of earl Stanhope, by his lady Louisa, the only daughter of Mr. Henry Grenville, Several branches of the Stanhope family have been illustrious in arms, and have displayed, in various periods of our history. an energy of character, and a devotion to their country's cause, which have rendered the name illustrious in the annals of Britain, The youth, whose loss we now deplore, chose, at a very early period, the military profes sion, as that in which he hoped he might be usefully employed. He had been assiduous in forming his character, and in attaining thorough knowledge of the duties attached to several degrees of military service, through which he had passed. From the high opinion formed of his courage and talents, he was, about two or three years since, appointed by General Moore tobe one of his aide-de-camps. Nothing could be better adapted to his wishes, he was anxious to be the witness of, and participator in real and active service. could not bear the idea of being raised step by step in the army, without having, at the same time, the opportunity of proving to his friends and his country, that he was worthy of the rank and honour conferred upon him. It was a source of extreme mortification 19 Majer Stanhope that he returned from Sicily, and Sweden, without being able to justify, by his conduct, the expectations which his friends had naturally formed of his character. In Spain he was no longer aide-de-camp, to the General under whom he served, and whom he loved with a filial affection, but was appointed with major Napier, his particu lar friend, to the command of the fiftieth re giment. Never were men more attached to officers than the soldiers of this regiment to their noble-minded and heroic majors. This body is distinguished by General Hope, as have ing borne the brunt of the action; and the. efforts of the officers and soldiers from its very commencement, claimed the applause of their general, who, witnessing their prowess, and highly approving of the judgement by which their exertions were made, rode up to. them, exclaiming, "Well done, my 50th, well done, my majors of the 50th." To their energy a large portion of the regiment, and both the majors sacrificed their lives. The body of Major Napier was not found; but, that of Major Stanhope was carried to his tent till the battle was wan. His younger brother. Captain James Stanhope, who had shared, in the dangers of the day, as aide-de-camp to general Moore, paid the last tribute of respect and sincere affection to the remains of |
