On Sept. 1, in the 68th year of his age, the Right Hon. David Murray, Earl of Mansfield, Viscount Stormont, Baron of Scoon and Balvaird, and Knight of the Thistle. His Lordfhip married, first, Henrietta Frederica, daughter of Henry, Count Bunan, of Saxony, and by her, who died March 6, 1767, had a daughter, Elizabeth-Mary, married Dec. 10, 1785, to George Finch Hatton, efq. He married, fecondly, May 6, 1776, Louifa, the third daughter of the late Lord Cathcart, and had iffue, David William (now Earl of Mansfield), born March 7, 1777; George, born April, 1780; Charles, born Auguft 21, 1781; another fon, born Auguft, 1784; a daughter, born Dec. 14, 1789.

The late Earl of Mansfield fucceeded his father, as Viscount Stormont in 1748, and his uncle, the celebrated Chief Juftice of the King's Bench, as Earl of Mansfield, in 1792. At the time of his death he held the offices of Prefident of the Council, Juftice General of Scotland, worth 2000l. per annum, conferred upon him in 1778. Keeper of the Palace of Scoon, an hezeditary office, Chancellor of Marechal College, Aberdeen, Joint Clerk of the Court of King's Bench, valued at 6cool. per ann. and LL.D. conferred upon him at the inftallation of the Duke of Portland as Chancellor of the Univerfity of Oxford in 17793.

His Lordship came early into public life. He has been one of the reprefentatives of the Scotch peerage during the whole of the prefent reign, and has been employed in fundry political stations. In 1763, he was appointed Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Court of Vienna, and nearly about the fame time was Envoy Extraordinary at the Court of Drefden. In 1772, he was an Ambaffador at the Court of France, which he left on the breaking out of hoftilities in 1778. In 1779, he was promoted to the office of one of his Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, which he retained until March 1782, when a total change of Miniftry took place. He came into office again, as a member of the Coalition Ministry in 1783, when he held the office of Prefident of the Council. That miniftry being turned out, he joined the oppofition phalanx, and diftinguished himself on many occafions by taking their fide, particularly during the debates on the Regency in 1788-9. On the death of the venerable Eal Camden, in 1793, he was again appointed Prefident of the Council. In his political pri ciples, with the exception of the period juft mentioned, he was a decided fupporter of the Court; in early life a fluent and intelligent fpeaker, but lately rather tedious and dry in his manner. He was in private life rather parfimonious, and not lefs fo, when he came to inherit the princely fortune of his uncle, There are nevertheless inftances of his generous patronage of men of merit. He was a very accomplished Icholar, and well verfed in polite Mterature. He understood the intrigues and

relative interests of the feveral courts of Europe, though it may be doubted whether the ftrenuous fupport he gave to the prefent war, be a proof of his applying that knowledge to the beft purposes. In converfation he was affable, polite, and entertaining. He fpoke moft modern languages with great fluency, and to the latest period of his life, feemed defirous of knowledge, often attending courses of lectures on the different branches of philofophy, with all the affiduity of a tyro.

During the last four years his health began to decline. Several times, when speaking in the House of Lords, he was attacked with a kind of apopletic fits, and fell down apparently dead. Of late, therefore, he seldom a tempted to debate, or, at leaft, at no great length. He was, however, a firm fupporter of the meafures adopted during this war. His death was supposed to have been occafioned by a gouty spasm in his stomach. He had been fo well for fome days, as to be preparing to depart from Brighthelmftone, where he died, to aflift at the Privy Council at Weymouth. On diffection, -water was found in the head.

On the Friday following, his remains were brought in funeral ftate, and interred with the ufual folemnity next the corpfe of his uncle, in the north aisle of Westminster-Abbey.

On the arrival of the cavalcade at the church, two of the bearers having got the coffin on their fhoulders, the horfes of the hearfe took fright by the preffure of the multitude; by which means, the other men not being prepared, the weight became too preponderant for those in front, and the coffin fell with great violence on the ground; the foot part of which bulged, part fell out with a number of the nails and embellishments; the concuffion was fo great that the leaden receptacle was much shattered, and a quantity of water proceeded from it.

[The late Dr. Turnbull, of Wellclose-square, (whofe death we lately noticed) died, after an illness of thirty-fix hours, May the 29th, 1796. He was born in the year 1729, at Hawrick, in Roxburghthire, and was the representative of the ancient family of B.drule, who were bereaved of confiderable domains and haraffed by the perfecuting pirit of the hierarchy of Scotland. Dr. Turnbull received the rudiments of his education at the grammarschool at Harwick, and afterwards removed to Edinburgh, where he pursued his ftudies, and graduated at Glasgow in 1759. He practifed medicine at Wooler, in Northumberland, for many years with confiderable fuccefs; re moving to London, he was chofen phyfician to the Eastern Difpenfary, (a ftation, which, fince his decease has been fupplied by Dr. Haighton, a gentleman juftly celebrated for his anatomical and phyfiological skill) where the philanthropy and the knowledge of Therapeutics, which Dr. T. difplayed, will be long held in grateful remembrance. His probity and piety had been fo confpicious in the North ef England, that the Dittenters in Northum

berland, appointed him their delegate, to act with other gentlemen, nominated by their general body, to petition Parliament to put an end to the prostitution of the Lord's fupper, which is countenanced by the Teft and Corporation Acts. Dr. T. who had been fome years a widower, had by his lady four fons and two daughters, the latter, and one fon (Mr. William Turnbull, who has been several years furgeon to the Eastern Dispensary) only furvive him. Dr. T. fuffe.ed a lofs that touched his heart with the most poignant grief, by the illness and premature death of his fon, Dr. John Turnbull, an accomplished fcholar and an elegant poet, who was born January 21st, 1754, and after studying 8 years at Glasgow, and 3 at Edinburgh, graduated as a physician; but having been put into a damp bed at Tunbridge, was feized with a paralytic diforder, of which he languished 3 years, dying the 4th of August, 1789. The fubject of this memoir, was a gentleman fo eminently zealous for the best interefts of mankind, that, befdes the funeral fermon, preached, and fince published by the Rev. Mr Knight, at the Meeting-house, in Nightingale-lane, where the Dr. conducted himself honourably for feveral years, in the character of a deacon. his death was also announced from the pulpit, as a public lofs, by the Rev. Mr. Rutledge, at Old Gravel-lane, and by Dr. Hunter, at the Scots' church, London-wall. Dr. T.'s fincere belief of the great truths of Christianity, was evinced not only m the general tenor of his life, but during the fhort and fevere illness which occafioned his death. To batlle the rapid approaches of the king of terrors, Mr. Cline, Dr. Saunders, Dr. Lettiome and feveral other skilful practitioners, exerted their utmost efforts in vain, while their patient, ferenely refigned to his destiny, declared his confidence in the merits of his divine Redeemer.
