Capt. James Walker, of the 17th Foot, for a length of time past senior officer on the recruiting service stationed at Leicester; who, to a strict and honourable discharge of military duty during a period of 22 years, added so just a sense of honour and propriety in all his transactions with others, that the officers of his own regiment, and those who were most intimate with him, have best learned to appreciate his worth, and to revere his memory.

5. Mrs. G. E. Williams, of Lambeth. At his apartments in Southampton-str. Strand, William Burrows, esq. eldest son, by his second marriage, of the late Sir Kildare Dixon B. bart: of Gilltown, co. Kildare, and nephew to Joseph Higginson, esq. of the house of Bell and Higginson.. Sarah, wife of Mr. John Price, jeweller and toyman, Little Maddox-street.

Very suddenly, Elizabeth, wife of Peter Rigby, esq. of Roath-court, near Cardiff; a truly worthy, benevolent woman.

At Segrave, co. Leicester, in his 47th year, the Rev. R. A. Ingram, rector thereof, to which he was appointed by the Master and Fellows of Queen's college, Cambridge, of which he was a member. He was deservedly esteemed as a gentleman and a scholar; some of his writings have already been before the Publick; and the last, on the "Causes of the Increase of Methodism and Dissention," has passed the ordeal of the Edinburgh Reviewers; who give him great credit for his zealous endeavour to check the progress of Methodism. At Edinburgh, Capt. James Farquharson, of the Royal Navy.

6. In Oxford-street, Capt. Anning, who fell from his horse in an apoplectic fit. In Battersea-fields, Surrey, Mrs. Rowley, wife of Mr. James R.

Of a consumption, aged 29, Eliza, daughter of Mr. Ariss, of Pailton, Leicestershire. The dreadful effects of this prevalent ma

lady have been in no case more severely felt than in this family; the surviving parent having followed to the grave his wife and 9 children, all victims thereto.

8. This morning, at four o'clock, at his seat, Grimsthorpe castle near Bourn, his Grace Brownlow Bertie, Duke of Ancaster and Kesteven, Marquis and Earl of Lindsey, Lord Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum of the county of Lincoln, and Recorder of Boston. His Grace entered into the 79th year of his age on the 1st of May last: he succeeded his nephew,, Robert, the preceding Duke, in July 1779. In 1762 he married Harriet the daughter and heir of George-Morton Pitt, esq.; but by her (who died in April 1763) he had no issue. He married secondly, Jan. 2, 1769, Mary-Anne the daughter of Major Peter Layard; and by her (who died Jan, 13, 1804) had issue one daughter, Mary Elizabeth, married in 1793 to Viscount Milsintown, eldest son of the Earl of Portmore, by whom she had issue a son (Mr. Colyear, at present at Grimsthorpe, a young gentleman about 13 year's of age), and died Feb. 10, 1797. His Grace having no male issue, by his death the dukedom is extinct; the marquisate is also extinct; but the title of Earl of Lindsey devolves upon Goneral Albemarle Bertie, late M. P. for the Borough of Stamford; unaccompanied, however, by any estate, unless it shall be determined that that of Uffington, near Stamford, descends with the title. Grimsthorpe castle and park descend to Lord Gwydir, by right of his wife, Lady Willoughby d'Eresby, and, it is believed, will be made the residence of his Lordship's son, the Hon. Peter Burrel, who lately married the heiress of the house of Perth.-The personal property of the Duke (amounting, it is said, to a sum exceeding 200,0007.) is chiefly bequeathed to his Grace's grandson, Mr. Colyear, the heir in abeyance of the earldom of Portmore. The executors of his Grace's will are, Mr. Greathed, Mr. Montague Matthew, General Layard, and Mr. Dent (the banker), The family burial-place of the former possessors of the titles has been at Edenham; but the remains of the now-deceased Duke were interred, agreeably to his directions, at Swinestead, where his Grace caused a vault to be made some years ago, and where his wives lie. The. death of the Duke of Ancaster is a subject. of real sorrow to hundreds, His Grace was the common benefactor of whomsoever lived around him; and, as a landlord, was regarded as indisputably the best in England. Very few of those who held farms on the extensive domain of the Duke have had their rents advanced during the 30 years in which his Grace was their landlord. The estates to which there

there is a doubtful title between the Earl of Lindsey and Lord Gwydir, are those of Uffington, Tallington, and West Deeping. The funeral of his Grace took place on the 17th, at Swinestead. The assemblage of sorrowing friends on this occasion was very considerable. About 12 o'clock the funeral cavalcade set out from Grimsthorpe castle. The pall-bearers were, the Earl of Arundel, Sir John Trollope, bart. Sir Samuel Fludyer, bart. Jacob Reynardson, esq. Charles-James Packe, esq. and the Rev. Mr. Foster. The chief mourners were, Gen. Layard, the Rev. Mr. Layard, Greathead, esq. Montague Matthew, esq. M.P, Sir Montague Cholmeley, bart. Arundell, esq. Dr. Willis, Dr. Arnold, the Rev.
