JOHN HATSELL, ESQ.

Died, Oct. 15. at Marden Park, near Godstone, Surrey, in his 87th year, John Hatsell, Esq. Clerk of the House of Commons, a gentleman of distinguished abilities and strict integrity. Mr. Hatsell sat at the table of the House of Commons, as Clerk Assistant, at the close of the reign of George II., and succeeded to the office of Chief Clerk in 1768. He retired from active service in the year 1797; and, from that time, shared the profits of his lucrative office with Mr. Ley, and subsequently with Mr. Dyson. Mr. Hatsell was educated at Cambridge, and did not forget in old age the use and enjoyment of the classical acquirements of early youth. He enjoyed his faculties, and a comfortable state of health, to the last. After having read prayers to his family (as was his usual custom) on Saturday evening, he was seized in the night by an apoplectic affection,which terminated his life at three o'clock in the morning of Sunday. His volumes of "Precedents of Proceedings in the House of Commons" are well known, and the work will long survive him as the text-book resorted to in all cases of difficulty.

SIR HUGH INGLIS, BART.

Died, Aug. 21, at his house in Queen Annestreet, London, Sir Hugh Inglis, Bart. of Milton Bryant, Bedfordshire, in the 77th year of his age. He went to the East Indies in 1762, and returned in 1775. Having been chosen a Director of the East India Company in 1784, he served deputy-chairman in 1796-7, and chairman in 1797-8; again deputy-chairman in 1799-1800, and chairman in 1800-1801; and was appointed Colonel of the 2d regiment of Royal East India Volunteers. In June 1801, he was created a Baronet; and in 1802, was elected M.P. for Ashburton. Sir Hugh Inglis was a man of singular excellence, and of uniform

consistency of conduct in all the relations of life; of great gentleness of manners, disciplined and improved by many Christian graces. Few men enjoyed better opportunities, and none were more industrious, to rescue useful talent from the shade of indigence, and to assist its meritorious progress in the world. His loss is severely felt by his family, and scarcely less so by an extensive circle of old and attached friends; some of whom have witnessed his upright and honourable principles, and duly appreciated their value, through all the transactions of his life.-His remains were deposited in the family vault at Milton Bryant. On this solemn occasion the impressive looks of the humble cottagers, accompanied with many tears, and indeed those of all descriptions of people, assembled from Milton and the neighbouring parishes, gave interesting proofs, that the unassuming benevolence of this good man and truly pious Christian, had long maintained a powerful ascendancy over the best affections of their hearts.

JAMES FERGUSON, ESQ..

[ocr errors]

Died, Sep. 6, in St. James's Place, James Ferguson, Esq. of Pitfour, M.P. for Aberdeenshire, in his 85th year. He had been engaged in writing his letters, as usual, till within a few minutes of his death, which was instantaneous, and without a struggle. It was caused by apoplexy.- Mr. Ferguson, though the steady supporter of Administration, was most independent in his principles. Through the whole course of his Parliamentary service, he never solicited from Ministers, nor received, either for himself or for any of his relations, the most trifling favour. He was an excellent landlord. For forty years he never moved a tenant nor raised a rent. His great anxiety was to improve the state of the country in his neighbourhood; and he spared no expense in this patriotic labour. He cut a canal, eight miles in length, for the benefit of his tenants; and he left that a garden, which, when he came to his estate, was almost a desert,

PHILIP CIPRIANI, ESQ.

Died, Sep. 17, in Harley-street, Philip Cipriani, Esq. one of the Chief Clerks in the Treasury. He was the eldest son of the celebrated Artist, whose works are characterized by grace, elegance, and beauty. They were the favourite subjects for the graver of his friend Bartolozzi, who derived a great share of his well-merited estimation from the admirable skill with which he copied the beautiful originals. The gentleman who has just paid the awful debt of nature possessed an hereditary taste for the fine arts, as well as for musical excellence. He was a skilful performer on the flute, and his private concerts were admirable treats for his friends. But he was better characterized by worth, knowledge, and good sense, than by accomplishments. His manners were kind, conciliating, and marked by an easy and unaffected

frankness. His health had long been de...clining, and he was subject, to the gout, which debilitated his frame, and at length ... brought him to the grave, though not far beyond the meridian of life.

THOMAS HARRIS, ESQ.

This highly esteemed and universally respected gentleman closed his mortal career on Sunday night, October 1, at his cottage at Wimbledon, His age was far advanced; it was that of our late lamented Sovereign; nor has he long survived his venerated Monarch, who, for so long a series of years, was his most gracious patron and kindest supporter. For more than half a century Mr. Harris most honourably filled the arduous situation of chief proprietor and manager of Covent Garden Theatre: when, some years ago, his corporeal powers sunk under the exertion, still no disease could reach his mind, which, to the last, retained all its active energy. At that period he assigned over all his theatrical property to his son, Mr. Henry Harris; and the chief solace and enjoyment of his declining years, has been to guide by his experience, and assist by his advice, his son, in the exercise of the difficult duties of theatrical management. Few possessed so many qualifications as Mr. Harris for this office. His manners were those of a polished gentleman--his temper was firm, yet mild and conciliatory - his principles steady, and faithful to his engagements-his dramatic taste and judgment pure and correct, as those numerous highly-talented dramatists and performers can testify, who have received the advantage of his critical remarks and suggestions. This record of his death we consider due to his memory, as one of those public characters who adorn any age or any country.

WILLIAM FIELDING, ESQ.

This respectable Magistrate died on Sunday, October 1, at his house in Queensquare. He was the resident magistrate of Queen-square Police-office, and had been in the commission twelve years. He had previously practised at the bar. He long laboured under severe attacks of palsy and gout, together with palpitations of the heart; and when it is recollected that more than forty years ago a paralytic stroke deprived him of the use of nearly one side, it is matter of some surprise that he should have survived to so advanced an age as 73 years. was erroneously stated in some of the papers that he died of the dropsy, and was so years of age. He departed this life, without apparent pain, on the evening of Sunday, Oct. 1, and without a struggle; and that firm belief in the Christian dispensation, which had given an elevation to his mind in his progress through this world, imparted increased comfort and confidence to him in his latter days. He was the son of the celebrated and original writer and novelist, Henry Fielding;

NEW MONTHLY MAG.-No. 82.

It

and in genius, imagination, and wit, he was the worthy descendant of such a sire. He was allowed, by those who knew him most, to have been one of the best conversational men of his time; and amongst those who were wont to honour his table was the admirable Sir W. Grant, the late Master of the Rolls, and with whom he used to travel the circuit.day revak, ale pompy

The remains of this excellent magistrate, and sound lover of the constitution of him who years ago dreaded the troubles and divisions that would be produced by "Reformers"-were on Monday consigned to the grave in St. Margaret's church yard; and while every honest heart must deplore the loss of such a magistrate at such a time, it occasions an additional pang to learn that he has left his widow and a son totally unprovided for. Mrs. F., who had watched over her now departed husband with the utmost tenderness for upwards of 30 years, had four children, but two were still-born. The son and the widow are now exposed to the consequences of a want of worldly prudence, and of constant and severe indisposition, which characterized so considerable a portion of the life of their late support. The funeral was plain and neat: a hearse and four followed by two mourning coaches and pairs. The coffin was attended by several of the officers, by pages with wands, &c.; and it was followed by Mr. Fielding's son and nephew; by Mr. Markland and Mr. Vincent, magistrates, &c. ; the procession being closed by the clerks of the office, all in deep mourning. The crowd collected around the grave was very considerable.

R. A. NELSON, ESQ.

The worthy secretary to the Navy Board died on the 19th September. There never was a more zealous and upright servant of his king and country, and of that service upon which the security of the throne and the grandeur of the country rest, than Mr. Nelson. In him every man in the navy, whose situation, or the accidents of whose life, might reduce him to need assistance, has lost a friend. No station connected with that service was below his attention; and the motives for kindness were but increased by the distress of the object. It was on Sunday, the 17th of last month, that he fell down suddenly in a fit of apoplexy, at NorthCorner, Plymouth Dock, where he was on a visit: he was immediately conveyed to a small house on the quay. Medical aid was no less instantly applied, but in vain; he lingered till Tuesday, the 19th-not unconscious, it is hoped, of the sympathy and attentions of those by whom he was surrounded, but without the power of returning them thanks. He then expired at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, without a sigh or groan. Mr. Nelson had been in the Navy-office nearly 36 years, during 24 of which he had filled the station of secretary.

BERKSHIRE.

A plan is in contemplation for enlarging the market-place at Newbury, by taking down the Pigeons public-house, part of the butcher's market, and the building formerly used as a pron.

An extraordinary meteor was seen on the morning of the 21st of last month at Reading, from about four o'clock till six. It appeared, at first, like a pointed star, rather larger than a crownpiece, and continued so for an hour and a half, seeming stationary over Forbury Hill, when it shot to the southward, after which it gradually passed to northward, diminishing in size, till it was seen no more. About half an hour before this phenomenon, at nearly half-past three, three very brilliant meteors were seen together exactly over the Forbury, producing an exceeding great light.
