12. At his seat, Dropmore, Buckinghamshire, aged 74, the right hon. William Wyndham Grenville, baron Grenville, D.C.L. and F.S.A.; uncle to the duke of Buckingham. He was born on the 25th of October, 1759, and was the third son of the right hon. George Grenville prime minister in 1763-1765, and of Elizabeth, daughter of sir William Wyndham, bart. He received his early education at Eton, and then removed to Christ Church, Oxford, where, in 1779, he gained the chancellor's prize for a composition in Latin verse, the subject being is Electrica. He took the degree of B.A., and entered one of the Inns of Court, with the view of being called to the Bar. His attention however, was quickly diverted to the business of politics. In February, 1782, he was returned to Parliament on a vacancy for Buckingham: and in September following, when his brother, earl Temple (the late Marquis of Buckingham) was for the first time sent to Ireland as lordlieutenant, he accompanied him as private secretary, and was sworn a privy councillor of that kingdom The period of earl Temple's vice-reign terminated in the June of the following year; in December following, Mr. Grenville ac

cepted office at home, being appointed to succeed Mr. Burke as paymaster of the army. His active senatorial career now commenced; and his industry and acquirements, added to strong natural talents, soon made him of consequence in the House of Commons. At the general election of 1784 he was chosen one of the county members for Buckinghamshire, after a very severe contest. He was re-elected in 1790, He had not completed his thirtieth year when he was chosen to preside over the House of Commons, being elected speaker January 5th, 1789, on the death of the right hon. Charles Wolfran Cornwall. Before four months, however, had elapsed, he was summoned from that station to the still more responsible, if not more arduous, one of secretary of state of the home department. He was removed to the House of Lords by a patent of peerage, dated November 25th, 1790, and thenceforward became the representative and echo of Mr. Pitt in the upper House. In the following May he exchanged the seals of home secretary for those of the foreign department; the latter he retained until the resignation of Mr. Pitt, in February, 1801. In 1791 he was appointed ranger of St. James's and Hyde-parks; which post he exchanged in 1795 for the lucrative office of auditor of the exchequer. He filled the important situation of foreign secretary during one of the most arduous and gloomy periods of our history, with industry, talent, and skill. He was skilled in the detail of the politics of Europe; he had studied deeply the law of nations; he was ac quainted with modern languages; he could endure fatigue; and had not an avocation or a pleasure to interrupt his attention. He loved business as bis father did; it was not merely the result of his ambition, but his amusement; the flowers of imagination, or the gaieties of society never seduced him astray. There was nothing to dissipate his ideas, and he brought his mind to bear on the subjects before him with its full force. Lord Grenville's talents as an orator were more than usually distinguished in 1795, on occasion of the attack which had been made upon the king during his passage to open Parliament. He brought in a bill to provide for the safety and protection of the royal person, which gave rise to a long and stormy debate, and afforded ample opportunity to Lord Grenville for the most loyal exertion of

his rhetorical abilities. He had the satisfaction of seeing his motion carried by a large majority; and he followed up his success by another bill to suppress the formation or continuance of seditious societies. In promoting the union with Ireland he took an active part with Mr. Pitt, and shared with him in giving the intimations on which the Roman Catholics of that country founded their claims to emancipation. When it appeared that there were obstacles to emancipa. tion which could not be overcome, the Ministry felt themselves obliged to resign their offices. When application was shortly after made to Mr. Pitt to join the parties then in power, he refused to accede, unless Lord Grenville was included in the arrangements; which proposal being rejected, the negociation ended. But no long time elapsed before Mr. Pitt found himself obliged to yield to the urgent necessities of the state, and he again took his seat as first lord of the treasury, in May, 1804, without having stipulated for Catholic emancipation. Lord Grenville, with Mr. Windham, refused to join him; and from that time, until the death of Mr. Pitt in January, 1806, lord Grenville took a prominent part in the ranks of the opposition. On Mr. Pitt's death, the administration was formed which is known by the name of “All the Talents." It was not a little extraordinary that when lord Grenville was the prime minister, Mr. Fox should be his secretary of state. It was an important obstacle to the duration of this ministry, that the religious principles of the monarch were directly opposed to the measures to which lord Grenville considered himself pledged; and a party, equally zealous as the sovereign in their resistance to the claims of the Roman Catholics, proved too powerful for the continuance of the Ministry beyond the brief period of thirteen months. During that time lord Grenville suffered not a little in his popularity by obtaining an Act of Parliament enabling him to hold, together with the premiership, the profitable, but nearly sinecure, office of auditor of the exchequer, which had been conferred upon him in 1795, and which he retained until his death. His lordship did not subsequently accept any more prominent office. When the resignation of lord Castlereagh and Mr. Canning left lord Liverpool the only secretary of state,

performing the business of the three departments, official letters were addressed to earl Grey and lord Grenville, proposing the immediate formation of a combined ministry. They were both in the country when these communications reached them. Earl Grey at once declined all union with Mr. Percival and lord Liverpool, and did not come to town. Lord Grenville, who was in Cornwall, came immediately to town, but the next day declined the proposed alliance, because he could not view it in any other light than as a dereliction of principle. At the close of the same year, his lordship was chosen chancellor of the University of Oxford. He continued in opposition to the government during the war; but on the final defeat of the French in 1814, he heartily congratulated the country on the prospect of an immediate peace, and in the following year supported ministers in their resolution to depose Napoleon. From that time he ceased to take a prominent part in parliamentary discussions, except during the debates on Catholic emancipation. In 1804, lord Grenville edited the letters which had been written by the great earl of Chatham to his nephew, Thomas Pitt (afterwards lord Camelford) when at Cambridge. Besides several speeches, &c., he also published a "New Plan of Finance, as presented to Parliament, with the tables, 1806." "A Letter to the earl of Fingal, 1810." He also defended his Alma Mater in a pamphlet, against the charge brought against her of having expelled Locke. He enriched an edition of Homer, privately printed, with valuable annotations; and translated several pieces from the Greek, English, and Italian, into Latin, which have been circulated among his friends under the title of "Nuge Metricæ." His lordship, as well as his brother, the right hon. Thomas Grenville, bad collected a very valuable library. In July 18, 1792, he married the hon. Anne Pitt, only daughter of Thomas, first lord Camelford, and sister and sole heiress of the second lord, who was slain in a duel with Mr. Best, in 1804. Her ladyship survives him, and as they never had any issue, the barony of Grenville has be

come extinct.

12. At the house of his sisters, in Leman-street, aged 72, Aaron Cardozo, esq. late of Gibraltar, Knt. of the Legion of Honour, &c.

12. At Stockwell, aged 73, Josiah Taylor, esq. for many years an eminent bookseller in Holborn, particularly for works on architecture.

At Boulogne, aged 38, the right hon. Sarah-Garcy lady Lyndhurst. She was a daughter of Charles Brunsdell, esq. and was married first to lieutenantcolonel Charles Thomas, who was killed at Waterloo. She was married secondly, March 13, 1819, to sir John Copley, now lord Lyndhurst, and has left three surViving daughters. Her ladyship's remains were brought to England, and deposited in the new church of St. John's, Paddington, attended by lord Lyndhurst, lord Henley, Mr. Shepherd, &c., followed by the private carriages of the lord Chancellor, the earl of Carlisle, lord Holland, chief-justice Tindal, the Master of the Rolls, baron Bayley, baron Bolland, baron Vaughan, baron Gurney, judge Alderson, &c.

17. At Oxford, George Williams, M.D. late fellow of Corpus Christi College, in the University of Oxford, Regius Professor of Botany, keeper of the Radcliffe Library, and one of the Delegates of the University Press. Dr. George Williams was the son of a clergyman, beneficed in Hampshire, who was the author of a very valuable little work, entitled "Education of Children and young Students in all its branches, with a short Catalogue of the best books in Polite Learning, and the Sciences, and an Appendix concerning the usefulnesss of Natural Philosophy to Divinity, taken out of the celebrated writers on that subject." He was admitted upon the foundation at Winchester. From Winchester, at a very early age, and after the usual severities of examination, he was elected to a Hampshire scholarship at Corpus Christi College, Oxford. In 1788, he was admitted to the degrees of M.B. and M.D.; he then became a fellow of the College of Physicians, but continued to discharge various important duties within the walls of Corpus

Christi College, as a resident fellow, practising, at the same time, as a physi cian in the University and City of Oxford. In 1789, he was elected one of the physicians of the Ratcliffe Infirmary. In 1796, on the death of Dr. Sibthorpe, he was elected by the fellows of the College of Physicians, according to the terms and conditions of Dr. Sherard's benefaction, Sherardian Professor of Botany, to which appointment is annexed the Regius Professorship in that Science. In 1811, upon the death of the rev. Dr. Hornsby, Dr. Williams was elected Keeper of the Radcliffe Library by the ten distinguished individuals to whom Dr. Radcliffe has, by will, assigned the right and power of election. This appointment may, with propriety, be represented as a new era in the history of that Library, not merely because he was the first physician who had held the office of librarian, nor because he was the first who had any active and urgent duties to perform in the library, but specially by reason of the important change which then took place in the course pursued in the purchase and collection of books, and the general character of this repository. Before Dr. Williams's appointment, no particular rule or principle appears to have been observed, in furnishing the cases and shelves with literary stores. No particular branch or branches of science or literature seem to have fixed the attention and determined the choice either of the trustees or the librarian. Butviscount Sidmouth, with his co-trustees, resolved to distinguish this library from the Bodleian, by dedicating it exclusively to Physiological and Medical science. In carrying into effect these great national as well as academic purposes, the trustees found in Dr. Wil liams's extensive reading, retentive memory, and comprehensive views, the very talents and accomplishments which were necessary to ensure the successful execution of their design. As far as it has been carried into effect, it has been ably executed. The shelves, which present to the student's eye all the best productions of the French, German, and Italian, as well as British press on general physics, or particular branches of natural science, bear witness to the assiduity, as well as ability, with which the work has been conducted. The volumes are all philosophically distributed (as far as possible) under general and particular heads, or subjects.

- Drowned by the upsetting of a boat on the South American ¡coast, lieut. John M'Clindock Clive, of H. M. S. Challenger, together with the purser's steward and two boys. He was son of Theophilus Clive, esq. of the Isle of Wight, and nephew of Edward B. Clive, esq. M.P.

23. At York, Mr. George W. Todd, bookseller, author of a "Description of York, containing some account of its Antiquities, public Buildings, and particularly the Cathedral."

At St. Lucia, major-gen. James Alexander Farquharson, of Oakley, governor of that colony.

24. At Bath, Edward Upham, esq. F.S.A. late of Dawlish, and formerly of Exeter. Mr. Upham began life as a bookseller, at Exeter, and was for many years one of the most eminent in that city. Having acquired what he esteemed a sufficient competence, he retired some years ago from business, and devoted the remainder of his life to his favourite literary pursuits. In 1824, he published anonymously, "Rameses," an Egyptian tale, in three volumes; a work exhibiting considerable research, but more remarkable for the curiosity and value of the notes than for the ease or interest of the story. His "Karmath," an Arabian tale, brought out in one volume in 1827, is written in a more agreeable manner. Between the publication of these two productions of his more leisure hours, he had engaged in the very laborious task of completing the Index to the Rolls of Parliament, which had been left unfinished by the late rev. John Pridden, F.S.A. after that gentleman had been employed upon it for thirty years. Mr. Upham completed the task in 1832. But during the same period, he was engaged on another recondite, if not more laborious work. This was a History of Buddhism, published in 1829, containing many curious illustrations of that faith, from original drawings procured in Ceylon, by sir Alexander Johnston. During the last year he edited translations of the three principal Buddhist histories of Ceylon, which threw much light upon the character and principles of the native sovereigns of that fair and beautiful territory, on their sys. tems of law and government, and on the condition of the people subjected to their authority. He was also the author of a concise History of the Ottoman Empire, in Constable's Miscellany; of some papers in the Asiatic Journal, and other periodical publications.

In Dover-street, William Mellish, esq. This gentleman, it is supposedl has left property nearly amounting to three millions sterling, acquired chiefly by contracts for provisioning the navy during the war; and also in extensive business as a shipowner. His fortune devolves on his two daughters, the eldest of whom, Elizabeth, was married, July 8th, 1830, to lord Edward Thynne, the fifth son of the marquess of Bath; and the younger has, since her father's death (Feb. 22), been married to the earl of Glengall.

30. At Paris, of a wound received in a duel with general Bugeaud, M. Dulong, member of the Chamber of Deputies for the arrondissement of Verneuil. M. Dulong was the reputed son of M. Dupont de l'Eure, leader of the Republican party. He was exercising his profession, as an advocate, at Evreux, when he was called upon, after the revolution of July, to fill an important office under the minister of justice. He was elected deputy by the arrondissement of Verneuil. "6 Being restrained," says the Messager des Chambres, "in the independence of his votes, by the claims of the subsequent minister of justice, M. Barthe, he threw up his place, in order to remain, like M. Dupont, above all things, faithful to his duties of deputy. Recently inscribed on the list of advocates of the Cour Royale of Paris, he made himself voluntarily the defender of the unfortunate. Only a few days ago

2. At his seat, Serlby Hall, Not tinghamshire, in his 52nd year, the right hon. William George Monckton Arundell, fifth viscount Galway and baron of Killard, county of Clare (1727).

He succeeded to the title on the death of his father, July 23rd, 1810. He was fond of literature; he had collected a valuable library; and was a patron of topogra phical and antiquarian works.
