22. On-board the Mary transport, on his passage from Corunna, in consequence of extraordinary fatigue and exertions in the Spanish campaign, Lieut.-col. Michael Symes, of the 76th Foot. He was a gentleman whose civil and military virtues and accomplishments were equally the objects of admiration. He possessed the highest capacity for science, with the most shining talents for action; and was not less endowed with the amiable qualities which embellish private life. He was twice embassador to the Court of Ava; and published an account of his first embassy, which gained him distinguished reputation as a diplomatic and literary character. As a military man he was not less eminent; and, as a husband, a parent, and a friend, he was affectionately beloved, and will be deeply lamented. On the 3d of February his remains were interred at St. Margaret's church, Rochester. On the way from Portsmouth to Rochester, the funeral procession was joined by a long train of relations and friends; the church and churchyard were crowded with the officers of the garrison of Chatham; and a most impressive and appropriate sermon was delivered on the occasion by the Rev. Mr. Menzies.

Among the officers, &c. who were lost this morning in the wreck of the Primrose sloop of war, of 18 guns (outward-bound), upon the Manacle rocks, near Helston, in Cornwall, were, the Captain (Mein), whose body was picked up at Black-head, near Falmouth; Lieut.-col. George and Capt. Nathaniel Tucker, who were passengers in that vessel, and on their way to join the Army in Spain. They were two of eight brothers, all arduously employed in the service, either civil or military, of the Country, and sons of the late President of the Council of Bermuda; a situation which, though it manifestly circumscribed his talents, for which his friends GENT. MAG. February, 1809.

were ever wishing a wider field of action, he long filled with the most distinguished fidelity. Lieut.-col. George Tucker entered the Army in 1790; and was Major of the 97th Regiment, and an officer of the most unquestionable military talent and rapid experience; to which the illustrious Generals Sir Samuel Achmuty, Sir David Baird, Spencer, and Sir Arthur Wellesley, with whom he served in the Indies, at the Cape of Good Hope, in Egypt, at Copenhagen, and in Portugal, have borne ample testimony. Under Sir D. Baird he filled the respectable station of Deputy Adjutant-general at the Cape of Good Hope; and had the glory of filling the same important station in the Army under Sir Arthur Wellesley, in the late ambiguous victories over the French in Portugal. By Sir D. Baird he was selected to be the bearer of dispatches from the Cape of Good Hope; and arrived in England on the same day that his brother, Lieut.-col. John Tucker, landed with intelligence of the capture of Monte Video; and the services of both were acknowledged by Government in their promotion to the rank of Lieutenant-colonels in the Army. Capt. Nathaniel Tucker was of the 32d Infantry, and formerly of the 33d, in which Regiment he had the high fortune of serving under the immediate command of then Lieut.-col. now General Sir A. Wellesley; and, as well as his brother, shared the glory of the late campaign in Portugal, where he was aidede-camp to Major-general Nightingale, whose confidence and regard he possessed entirely; and, as well as his brother too, had compressed what is generally the experience of a length of life into a few years. In the large earnest which Lieut.col. Tucker had given, it is no presumption to say, that his Country has lost the service of one who would have been a great General; and of Capt. Nathaniel Tucker, from the promise of his youth, there would have been nothing irrational in hoping the greatest future excellence. But they are snatched from their Country by a most disastrous death, that affords no consolation to a large family and their numerous friends, by whom they were beloved, for they were of the gentlest manners, and joined to every military accomplishment the practice of every social duty.-Among those who perished in the Dispatch transport, from Corunna, which was lost at the same time, and within a mile of the Primrose, were, the Hon. Major G. W. C. Cavendish (second son of Lord George Cavendish, and nephew of the Duke of Devonshire), whose Lody has since been found near Falmouth Captain S. G. Duckenfield, eldest son of Sir N. D.; and Lieut. the Hon. E. Waldegrave, se

cond

cond brother of Earl Waldegrave. Besides these three officers, the Dispatch had onboard 72 men and 36 horses, all of the 7th Light Dragoons. Every soul on-board perished, excepting 7 dragoons. Eight noncommissioned officers and about 60 privates of the regiment belonging to Capts. Treweeke's and Duckenfield's troops, with 5 women and 32 horses, were lost with them.

At Chesterfield, aged 74, Mr. Charles Kinder; who, by the divine blessing upon his honest industry in the hosiery line, had acquired a handsome fortune, and had long retired from business. Notwithstanding the severity of the weather, he had been twice at church this day; and remarked to some friends at tea, that he had found his voice in singing the Psalms stronger than usual, and appeared to be in excellent spirits. After his company had left him, he read to his family, and joined with them in prayer; at the close of which, when his servants, perceiving his voice falter, rose from their knees, and went to his assistance, expressing their apprehensions that he was not so well as usual, he told them that he found himself very ill, and desired they would raise him up; which with some difficulty they effected, and some time after conveyed him to bed. Medical aid was immediately called in, but without. avail; and he expired about 11, without a struggle or a sigh. The death of this good man may be justly deemed a public loss; as he was a most valuable member of society, and to the poor a most liberal and unwearied benefactor. E. G.

year of his age, Mr. Edward Wold Elvidge; whose talents, industry, and virtues, bade fair to raise him to eminence and distinction, had his 1.fe been spared for a longer period. The reputation which he had acquired for all that detail of knowledge and information which is useful in the conduct. of public accounts occasioned his being employed in the Pay Department upon the Expedition to Monte Video and Buenos Ayres; and, upon his return from thence, he was elected secretary to the Provident Institution; in which, situation he gave entire satisfaction to the Directors, and received every testimony of their approbation. But, preferring employment in the public service abroad, he was induced, in November last, to accept an offer of the appointment of assistant-paymaster to the troops then at Lisben, and was preparing to set out for that place. Illness, however, prevented his undertaking the voyage, and gradually exhausting his strength, put an end to his earthly prospects, by a premature dissolution, in the forenoon of this day. His parents are of Lincolnshire origin, though resident in London; and, besides them, he has left two sisters, as well as numerous friends, to lament his loss.

26. At St. Leonard's Mount, Padiham, co. Lancaster, Maria, wife of the Rev. John Adamson, incumbent of Padiham and Altham. She died of a gradual decay of Nature, induced by a bilious affection, to which she had all her life been subject, after an union of a quarter of a century, aged 52 years. She was the only daughter of John Rhodes, of Liverpool, mer chant, by Mary his wife, and a descendant of the antient and respectable family the Rhodes's of Menstone, in the parish of Otley, co. York; whose place of interment and monumental inscriptions will be found on the back of the church, namely, on the South side, in Otley church-yard, the great bulk of this cemetery lying, singularly enough, on the North side. The immediate subject of this memoir was interred early in the morning of the 29th, in the vestry of Padiham church, and by her own desire privatel; followed by a few old servants and poor tenants, to whom a pecuniary gratuity was administered, and attended by her son-in-law, Joseph Wood, esq. of Sutton, co. Notts, and Biscathorp, co. Lincoln, a captain in the S2d Regiment of Foot, as chief mourner. She left issue six children: Maria-Eleanora, wife of Captam Wood, and Eleanor, Sophia, Charlotte, Frances, and Cyril-John-Sanford, all unmarried. In the Divine mercy her faith was strong; her patience under her sufferings great; and her fortitude at parting with her husband and children, very far from being natural to her, truly extraordinary. And, as the Righteous have hope in their death, and the memory of the Just shall be blessed, her chaste, teinperate, and exemplary conduct demands the following short tribute, as unostentatious as her life: An illustrious pattern of conjugal fidelity and attachment; a tender, provident, and affectionate mother; a warm and sincere friend; of inflexible integrity to her fellow-mortals; and of an

humble walk and tender conscience towards her SAVIOUR and her GOD.

29. In consequence of the fire in St. James's Palace, William Cox, esq. one of his Majesty's pages. His apartments communicated to the King's back-stairs, where it seems probable (from the evidence before the Coroner's Inquest held on the body of the unfortunate young woman who was burnt) that the fire broke out; and, although on the ground-floor, the flames being impelled by the wind in that direction, they were almost the first consumed. In endeavouring to save some little property, which, however, was effected in a very slight degree, he had two narrow escapes for his life. This, combined with his anxiety for the safety of his wife and daughters, so affected the nervous system as to occasion his death in about a week after the fatal catastrophe.
