most sincerely attached. He was son of Richard Warren, D. D. Rector of Cavendish, and Arch-. deacon of Suffolk, and brother of Richard Warren, M. D. celebrated for his knowledge and successful practice, and many years Physician in Ordinary to his Majesty. He married Elizabeth Southwell, daughter of Henry Southwell, Esq. of Wisbeach, Cambridgeshire, who, fully sensible of many of his distinguished virtues, has offered this grateful tribute to his memory, with the most unfeigned sincerity and respect. He died on the 27th of Jan. 1800, in the 72d year of his age."

Nearly opposite to that of her husband is another monument, sacred to the memory of ELIZABETH WARREN, daughter of Henry Southwell, Esq. of Wisbeach, in the county of Cambridge, and widow of the Right Rev. John Warren, D. D. late Lord Bishop of Bangor. "She was distinguished for the purity of her taste, and the soundness of her judgment; her prudence and discrimination were in no instance more conspicuous, than in selecting the objects of her extensive charity. The widow and the fatherless were protected and relieved; and the virtuous, who had fallen from prosperity, had peculiar claims to her benevolence. Though mild and gentle in her manners, yet she was remarkable for the firmness and vigour of her mind. Steadfast in the faith of Christ, she lived to illustrate his precepts, and died reposing on his merits and intercession. She departed this life March 29, 1816, aged 83. Her surviving sister, Mary, widow of the Right Honourable Sir James Eyre, Knt. Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, in testimony of her sincere affection, has erected this monument to her memory."

"Westmacot, Sculp."

It represents a distressed female with an infant

in her arms, on a square pedestal, and is placed at the back of Lord Mansfield's monument.

Sir JOHN BALCHEN, Knt.-On this fine monument, in relief, is the representation of a ship perishing in a storm. The enrichments, arms, and trophies, are most admirably wrought; but in fastening the cable to the anchor, the artificer has shewn himself no mariner. The inscription, which is historical, is here inserted :

"To the memory of Sir John Balchen, Knt. Admiral of the White Squadron of his Majesty's fleet in 1744. Being sent out Commander-inChief of the combined fleets of England and Holland, to cruise on the enemy, was, on his return home, in his Majesty's ship the Victory, lost in the Channel by a violent storm; from which sad circumstance of his death, we may learn that neither the greatest skill, judgment, or experience, joined to the most firm, unshaken resolution, can resist the fury of the winds and waves; and we are taught, from the passages of his life, which were filled with great and gallant actions, but ever accompanied with adverse gales of fortune, that the brave, the worthy, and the good man, meets not always his reward in this world. Fifty-eight years of faithful and painful services he had passed, when being just retired to the government of Greenwich Hospital, to wear out the remainder of his days, he was once more, and for the last time, called out by his King and country, whose interest he ever preferred to his own, and his unwearied zeal for their services ending only in his death; which weighty misfortune to his afflicted family became heightened by many aggravating circumstances attending it: yet, amidst their grief, had they the mournful consolation to find his gracious and Royal Master mixing his concern with the general lamentations of the public, for the calamitous

lamitous fate of so zealous, so valiant, and so able a commander; and as a lasting memorial of the sincere love and esteem borne by his widow to a most affectionate and worthy husband, this honorary monument was erected by her. He was born Feb. 2, 1669, married Susanna, daughter of Colonel Apreece, of Washingly, in the County of Huntingdon. Died October 7, 1744, leaving one son and one daughter, the former of whom, George Balchen, survived him but a short time; for being sent to the West Indies in 1745, Commander of His Majesty's ship the Pembroke, he died in Barbadoes, in December, the same year, aged 28, having walked in the steps, and imitated the virtue and bravery of his good, but unfortunate father."

When the Victory was lost, she had on board near 1000 souls, 100 of whom were gentlemen volunteers.

General GUEST.-On a base and pyramid of most beautiful Egyptian porphyry, are the finest enrichments and bust that are to be seen in the whole church. It were an injustice to the excellent artist to attempt a description of this monument, as nothing but a fine imagination is capable of conceiving how highly it is finished. The inscription is short, but manly:→

"Sacred to those virtues that adorn a Christian and a soldier, this marble perpetuates the memory of Lieutenant-General Joshua Guest, who closed a service of sixty years, by faithfully defending Edinburgh Castle against the Rebels in 1745."

CHARLES WATSON, Esq.-Over the north door is a magnificent monument to the memory of Admiral Watson, where you see, in the centre of a range of palm-trees, an elegant figure of the Admiral in a Roman toga, with a branch of palm in his right hand, receiving the address of a prostrate figure representing the Genius of Calcutta, a place

in the East Indies, memorable for the imprisonment of the English garrison in a black hole, where most of them perished, and where those that survived were released by the Admiral, and the town retaken from the Nabob in January 1757. On the other side is the figure in chains of a native of Chandernagore, another place taken by the Admiral the March following. On the front is this inscription:

"To the memory of CHARLES WATSON, ViceAdmiral of the White, Commander-in-chief of his Majesty's naval forces in the East Indies, who died at Calcutta the 16th of August 1757,

THE EAST INDIA COMPANY, as a grateful testimony of the signal advantages which they obtained by his valour and prudent conduct, caused this monument to be erected."

Sir WILLIAM SANDERSON, Knt.-Against the wall, on a small tablet, is a bust with an inscription in Latin, shewing that he was Gentleman of the Bedchamber to Charles I. and wrote the lives of Mary, Queen of Scots, James and Charles I.; that he sustained great hardships from the tyranny of the Rebels; but that, having bravely surmounted all difficulties, he lived to the age of 90, and died July 15, 1676.

GEORGE MONTAGU DUNK, Earl of Halifax.On the left, as you enter the north door, is a state ly monument to the memory of George Montagu Dunk, Earl of Halifax. His Lordship's bust conveys a very striking likeness of the original. It is supported by two emblematical figures, one holding a mirror, supposed to be Truth, with his foot on a mask, trampling on Falsehood; the other Honour, presenting the ensigns of the Garter. It is also decorated with various other emblems, alluding to the different public posts of honour and profit

profit which his lordship held at different times. The inscription is as follows:

"Sacred be the monument which here is raised, by gratitude and respect, to perpetuate the memory of George Montagu Dunk, Earl of Halifax, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, whose allegiance, integrity, and abilities, alike distinguished and exalted him in the reign of George II. and George III. In the year 1745 (an early period of his life), he raised and commanded a regiment, to defend his King and country against the alarming insurrection in Scotland. He was soon after appointed first Lord of Trade and Plantations, in which department he contributed so largely to the commerce and splendour of America, as to be styled "Father of the Colonies." At one and the same time, he filled the united great offices of the first Lord of the Admiralty, Principal Secretary of State, and Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. He was afterwards appointed Lord Privy Seal; on the resignation whereof, he was recalled to the important duties of Principal Secretary of State, and died (in possession of the Seals) June 8, 1771. His worth in private life was eminent and extensive, and was best testified in the honour and esteem which were borne him living, and the lamentations bestowed upon his ashes.

"Among many instances of his liberal spirit, one deserves to be distinctly recorded. During his residence in Ireland, he obtained the grant of an additional £4000 per ann. for all subsequent Viceroys; at the same time nobly declining that emolument himself."

Sir CLIFTON WINTRINGHAM, Bart. is represented visiting a sick and distressed family; underneath is the figure of his lady, kneeling, bewailing her loss.

"Sacred to the memory of Sir Clifton Wintring
