[blocks in formation]

This amiable Princess departed this life on Sunday the 6th August, a few minutes after nine o'clock. In another part of our Miscellany will be found some particulars of her decease (see p. 343). She was the eldest daughter of the late King of Prussia, by his first consort, Elizabeth Ulrica Christiana, Princess of Brunswick Wolfenbuttel. She was born May 7, 1767, and was married to his Royal Highness Sept. 29, 1791. Her Royal Highness was a most excellent and exemplary character. Her charities were numerous, though not ostentatious; and the poor of the neighbourhood, as well as many other objects of her benevolence, will have ample reason to lament her loss. Her Royal Highness did not mix much in general society, but in the select circle in which she did move, she was most sincerely esteemed. Among her numerous beneficent acts, not a servant of her household was married but a home was provided for the couple by the Princess; and the estate and its neighbourhood abounded with cottages so tenanted. Her Royal Highness also founded two Benefit Societies for male adults: the one in Weybridge, and the other at Walton-upon-Thames; and not only did she endow them liberally at the outset, but she unceasingly watched over their progress, and fostered their interests by her care. sides this, she had a long list of infirm pensioners, both male and female, in London, who were regularly paid out of her Royal Highness's funds, some five pounds, some ten, and some twenty pounds a-year. The lists of public charities likewise bear testimony to the zeal of her humanity, and afford ample proofs of the interest which she took in every thing calculated to proinote the happiness, or to alleviate the sufferings, of her fellow-creatures.

Be

Her Royal Highness in stature was somewhat below the common height, and her figure was formed in proportionate delicacy and softness. Her countenance was pleasing, and shone resplendent with the real benevolence of her mind. Her complexion was fair, and the general contour of her face not unlike the other branches of the Royal Family. Her accomplishments were those which usually adorn the fair sex; and although not attached to the fine arts as a student, she was remarkable for the excellence of her judgment, and the general correctness of her taste.

THE MARQUESS OF ORMONDE. Died on the 10th August, at his seat, Ulcombe Place, Kent, in the 51st year of his age, the most Hon. Walter, Marquess and Earl of Ormonde in Ireland, and Baron Butler in England, K. P. and Governor of the county of Kilkenny. He is succeeded by his next brother, James, now Earl of Ormonde and Ossory. This distinguished Nobleman was the head and representative of at least the second, if not the first, noble and illustrious family in Ireland. He was the Premier Earl of that part of the United Kingdom; and the Marquisate of Ormonde (which, as well as the Dukedom thereof, was long held by his Lordship's ancestors) was a few years since revived in his favour. The family name was originally Fitzwalter, but was changed for the official one of Butler, in consequence of a grant from Henry II. to Theobald Fitzwalter, of the place of Chief Butler of England. This grant was afterwards extended, particularly in 1372, by Edward III., who confirmed the duty granted on wines imported into Ireland to James Le Botilier, Earl of Ormonde, and his heirs. It has accordingly been vested in this family during an interval of nearly seven hundred years, with an exception of time between the execution of Charles I. and the restoration of Charles II. In consequence of a patent for the prisage of wines in Ireland, the Butlers have sometimes levied the duty by means of their collector, and sometimes permitted it to be farmed by Government, at the rate of 4,000l. per annum. In the Spring of 1807, Mr. Kingston, a merchant of Dublin, resisted the claim, and an action having been brought, a verdict was found for the plaintiff, by which it was estimated the family revenue would be increased from 12 to 15,000l. per annum. Not long after this decision in favour of the family took place, it was purchased by the Irish Government for a considerable sum.-The late Marquess was born early in 1770. In January 1801 he was created a Peer of the United Kingdom, as Baron Butler of Llanthony, in the county of Monmouth. In March 1805, his Lordship married Anne, sole daughter and heiress of Joseph Hart Pryce Clarke, esq. formerly of Cork, in Ireland, but then of Al

had no academical education, but was bred to physic in a very humble line, though afterwards he contrived to obtain orders, and for some time officiated as a curate in and about London. In 1771 he started a project peculiar to himself, that of abridging the sermons of eminent divines, and printing them in the form of manuscripts, so as not only to save clergymen the trouble of composing their discourses, but even of transcribing them. Dr. Trusler next established a printing and bookselling business, upon an extensive and very lucrative scale, the profits of which enabled him to retire with a competence. He resided several years at Bath, and latterly at his estate on Englefield Green in Middlesex. This wholesale dealer in compilations manufactured the following works, several of which have the merit of utility:- Hogarth moralized, 8vo. 1766.
