lowing Quartermaster - general to the army in the Mediterranean. In September 1795, he succeeded to a Lieutenantcoloneley in the 66th regiment of foot. In December 1796, he received the local rank of Colonel in Portugal, and was appointed Quartermaster - general to the army which was soon after sent to that country, under Sir Charles Stuart. In January 1798, he received the brevet of Colonel; and in September following that of Brigadier-general in the army destined for the attack of Minorca, where he commanded a brigade, and was present at the taking of that island in November following. In 1799, he returned to England, and went again the following May to Minorca; from whence he joined, in 1800, the army in the Mediterranean under Sir Ralph Abercromby, and served with distinction during the campaign in Egypt. He was present in the different actions that took place there, and was wounded in that of the 21st of March. In March 1802, he returned to England, and was appointed Brigadier-general on the Staff at Malta, where he continued till August 1804, when he was recalled to England; and on the 10th of November following appointed to the Lieutenant-government and command at Portsmouth, in which he remained till June 1805, when he was appointed a Commissioner of Military Inquiry. In 1803 he received the Colonelcy of the 1st garrison battalion; the rank of Major-general in January 1805. was appointed, in July 1805, Major-general on the staff, and Quartermaster-general to the army in the Mediterranean. In December 1807, he returned home with the troops under the late Sir John Moore; in March 1808, he received the command of the garrison of Malta; on the 25th of January 1809, he was appointed Colonel of the 52d light infantry; on the 30th April, 1810, he obtained the local rank of Lieutenant-general at Malta; and on the 4th June, 1811, the rank of Lieutenantgeneral in the army. He had been personally present at three sieges, seven battles, thirteen inferior actions, and in seventeen important services. MADAME BONAPARTE. He At Marseilles, Madame Letitia Bonaparte, the mother of the late Emperor of France. The evening preceding her death, she called together all her household. She was supported on white velvet pillows; her bed was crimson damask, and in the centre hung a crown decorated with flowers. The whole of the apartment was lighted in grand style. She called her servants, one after another, to her bedside, who knelt, and kissed her extended hand, which was skinny, and covered with a profusion of rings. To her chief director of finances, Juan Barosa, she said, "Juan, my blessing go with thee and thine!" To Maria Belgrade, her waitingmaid, she said, "Go to Jerome, he will take care of thee. When my grandson is Emperor of France, he will make thee a great woman." She then called Colonel Darley to her bed-side; he had attended her in all her fortunes, and, in Napoleon's will, had assigned him a donation of 14,000l.-" You," said she, "have been a good friend to me and my family; I have left you what will make you happy. Never forget my grandson; and what he and you may arrive at is beyond my discerning; but you will both be great!" She then called in all her junior servants, and with a pencil, as their names were called, marked down a sum of money to be given to each. They were then dismissed, and she declared that she had done with the world, and requested water. She washed her hands, and lay down upon her pillow. Her attendants found her dead, with her hand under her head, and a prayer-book upon her breast. Thus perished the mother of one who had been a meteor on earth, and a blazing star to direct others! Her chief heir is her grandson, the young Napoleon, who it is said will ultimately receive an immense fortune. To her eight children now living, to wit, Joseph Bonaparte, Lucien, Lewis, Jerome, Elisa, Pauline, Caroline, and Hortensia, she bequeaths to each and every one the sum of 150,000 scudi (37,5007. sterling,) making in the whole three hundred thousand pounds. The four daughters of Lucien are to have each a marriage portion of 25,000 scudi. And to her brother Cardinal Fesch, who already rolls in wealth, she bequeaths a superb palace, filled with the most splendid furniture and rarities of every sort. M. ZEA. Last month, at Bath, Don Francisco Antonio Zea, the Columbian Minister. His disorder was dropsy, which had increased upon him latterly so much, that his legs, thighs, and body were swelled to an enormous size. M. Žea was between 50 and 60 years of age. He was a native of the province of Antioquia, in New Granada, now part of the republic of Columbia. Great part of his life had been spent in Europe. Under the former Government of Spain, and previous to the Revolution breaking cut in South America, he held at different times several offices under the Spanish Government. The Revolution in his own country drew him to the side of Bolivar, whose constant companion and assistant in the great work of liberating his country, he was for many 1823. M. Zea―Duchess of Newcastle-Lord Kinneder. years, until his mission to Europe in 1820. At the time of his quitting Columbia he was Vice-President of the Republic, and he had the satisfaction, before taking his departure, of presenting to the Congress the project of the Constitution of his country, which was afterwards adopted in all its leading particulars. M. Zea was a man of considerable talent, and of scientific and literary attainments of a very respectable class. He possessed great natural acuteness, and a countenance into which he could at times infuse a degree of penetration that few could escape. In his address to the Congress of Columbia, shortly before his leaving that country for England, he has left a memorial of eloquence of no ordinary cast. His manners were those of a gentleman, which, together with the personal considerations due to him on all accounts, procured for him the society and the attentions of some of our most distinguished nobility. His Government and his countrymen cannot but have been flattered with the distinguished mark of attention paid to M. Zea at the public dinner given to him on the 8th of July last, at the City of London Tavern, at which the most eminent men of all parties joined in shewing the cordial satisfaction with which the establishment of another temple of freedom, in a beautiful, a rich, and an interesting part of the universe, is viewed in this land of constitutional liberty. DUCHESS OF NEWCASTLE. At Clumber, Nottinghamshire, Sept. 27, Her Grace the Duchess of Newcastle. Her Grace was delivered of twins, a boy and a girl, the latter still-born, on the Tuesday before. She was afterwards considered better, and in a favourable way, but a sudden change for the worse took place. Her Grace was daughter of Edward Miller Munday, of Shipley, in Derbyshire, Esq. born 1st of June, 1789, and married July 18, 1807. There was issue of this marriage 16 children, viz. eleven sons and five daughters, of whom there are now living nine sons and three daughters; of these four were born at two births. The eminent virtues, and exalted qualities of mind, which she so conspicuously possessed, can never be forgotten by those who had the happiness of her friendship; all must feel for, and deeply deplore the irreparable loss the Duke and his family have sustained; the poor in the vicinity will long have cause to lament her death. On Oct. 7th, the remains of her Grace were buried, with those of her infant daughter, at Bothamsal Church, near Clumber Park. LORD KINNEDER. 43 Lately, Lord Kinneder, the eldest surviving son of the Rev. William Erskine, an Episcopal Clergyman at Muthill, Perthshire, and of Miss Drummond, of the house of Keltie. He was born in 1769, and was educated chiefly at Glasgow, Andrew Macdonald, author of Vimonda, being his tutor. He spent some time in chambers in the Temple, as if intended for the English bar. He entered advocate at the Scottish bar, in 1790; and, through the friendship of Mr. R. Mackintosh, advocate, and an able appearance which he made as counsel for the York Buildings Company, he got rapidly into practice. He was appointed a depute-advocate under his brother-in-law, Mr. Colquhoun, in 1806. Some years previously he had been named principal commissary of Glasgow, an office which he afterwards exchanged for that of sheriff of Orkney and Shetland. In 1800 he married Euphemia, only daughter of the late professor John Robinson, who, after bringing him nine children, (six of whom are still alive) died in 1819. Domestic in his habits, much attached to his lady, and constitutionally sensitive, this was a blow from which he never recovered, though promoted to the bench, on the resignation of his friend, Lord Balmuto, in January 1822. To this deprivation, and to the effects of a groundless rumour touching his character, Mr. Hay Donaldson, W. S. (who has since followed his friend to the grave) ascribes that irritability, which ended in nervous fever and death, in August last. These facts have been extracted from an interesting character of Lord Kinueder, drawn up by Mr. Donaldson shortly before his death. "In general society (says Mr. D.) Lord K. was rather reserved and silent; but in more select circles, few brought so much to be enjoyed; none came more willing to be delighted. But his character was to be known fully only in the bosom of his family. was in that sanctuary of the heart that his amiable qualities were indeed most conspicuous." In literature, the taste of Lord Kinneder was refined to fastidiousness. This made him too chary of coming before the public as an author, nothing of his being printed, we believe, but some additional stanzas to Collins's ode; and it also gave something of almost a finical air to his mode of pleading, which was otherwise elegant and oratorical. By his death the bench has lost a scholar and a gentleman. Who shall be his successor, is a question of no inconsiderable monent to the country. No single judge is of so much consequence in Scotland as the lord ordinary on the bills. It PROVINCIAL OCCURRENCES IN THE COUNTIES OF ENGLAND, ARRANGED ALPHABETICALLY. BEDFORDSHIRE. Married.] Mr. H.

The report of Mr. Moneypenny, a very respectable engineer, gave general satisfaction; and his designs of the bridge, exhibited at the meeting, received the unqualified approbation of all persons present.—The estimated expense of completing the intended bridge and causeway at the Haw Passage, exceeds that of the Tewkesbury Severn bridge and roads by no less a sum than 14,000l.

They will here be taught some useful employment, and be more effectually initiated, than the discipline and character of a prison can admit of, into habits of order, temperance, and industry, so as to be gradually fitted to resume their places in society.

About 150 years ago, this curious receptacle of mouldering mortality was accidentally discovered; many hundreds of human bones were found piled up in immense heaps, with every appearance of order and regularity. Not less than 10,000 human remains are deposited in this vault; but at what period they were placed there remains a mystery. From its contiguity to the famous field at Naseby, many have supposed them to be fallen warriors at that memorable epoch. But their antiquity is evidently much higher than that period; although from the mutilated appearance of many of the scull bones, it would seem that death had dealt its arrows amongst them prematurely. There have been philosophers who have contended that the race of mankind has degenerated from its pristine stature, through the effeininating effects of luxury; and from the magnitude of some of these bones, the conjecture would appear plausible; as it is an unquestionable fact, that there are bones in this vault of very unusual size. It has been remarked as a circumstance very singular, that these bones consist entirely of the sculls and the upper and lower extremities, there not being either ribs or vertebræ discoverable. Their general appearance (except at the entrance, which, since their discovery, has been most subject to the decomposing qualities of the atmosphere) is in a perfectly equal state of preservation, and would really lead to the supposition, that they were deposited in this place at the same period.

A meeting of the trustees of the turnpike-road from Bridge ford-lane, in the county of Nottingham, to the Bowling-green at Kettering, in the county of Northampton, was held on the 28th, for taking into consideration the draft of a Bill for continuing the term of an Act passed in the reign of his late Majesty, and for other special purposes. Some propositions for diverting the course of this road, and for otherwise altering and improving the same, have lately been discussed; but it is feared the funds are not adequate to the object.
