than 100l."-Mr. Hacket had no child; but his property (we believe) passes to two of his nephews, whom he thus characterizes: "My brother Charles was a valiant foldier at the battle of Minden, with the great Lord Granby, who conferred upon him the commission of an officet, which he never lived to enjoy. He left a fon, Thomas, as valiant a foldier as his father, in the Coldstream regiment of guards, who was put apprentice to a furgeon and apo. thecary at Muffleborough in Scotland. He left his occupation; went a volunteer with Pearfon; and fought Paul Jones in that defperate engagement, when, through a miftake only, Paul Jones effected his escape. He afterwards entered into the guards, and was in every engagement with that corps on the Continent; received two wounds only; one upon the shin-bone by a cannonball fplintering a stone, and driving part of it against his leg; another over his left eye, hacked down in a hazy morning when on the piquet-guard, by a French chaffeur, who had no time to efcape, and was shot dead by his comrade. Hacker's wound, though very bad, would never permit him to go into an hospital, but got perfectly well, and he now bears his honourable scar as his beft reward. He would never accept of any promotion; and, when he returns to his native country, fhall find an afylum from his uncle. He is a brave fel. low, about 31 years old."-The other nephew (fon of his brother Thomas) he thus defcribes: "As fine a youth, and as neat and well-difciplined a foldier, as any in the army; was seven years in the first footguards, and now 24 years, old. He was at the attack of Dunkirk, and in the engagement on the Continent when Col. Earle was killed at his fide; afterwards, at the fiege of Valenciennes, and then canie home unhurt, but fick. On the application of Major Drummond and Sir George Cooke, colonel of the West York militia, by great exertions he was obtained out of the guards, I giving my confent. Two of the best men were given in his room, and a large fum of money; and was immediately made ferjeant-major, at a guinea per week, gl. per annum arrears, and an annuity fettled upon him for life. I have had feveral petty commissions offered me, but refufed them all. When this removal occurred, the miliția was very much in diforder, and wanted ftricter difcipline. He has reft ›red the regiment, and all the officers are become his protenfed friends. He will make his own way; his fobriety and steady condut are unexceptionable. When in the guards, he taught numbers of the affociated gentlemen their difcipline in the court of the Foundling-hofpital and their own houfes, from whom he received great favours, and promifes of affiftance in future promotion, GENT. MAG. June, 1801.

if he would continue in the corps where he was. By this employment he cleared about 501. in a few months, which he carries off with him undiminithed into Yorkthire. He is a very faying!ul, and a good œconomist in the army, and I intend to make him, ia part, my heir of what little I leave behind me!"

To the memory of
WILLIAM WILSON, efq.

His meritorious fervices

were the genuine offspring of his virtues and abilities:

rage can perform, when directed by profeffional knowledge and ability. From the Suffolk, Capt. W. was appointed to command the Pitt, a fifty-gun fhip, as convoy, and was granted double privilege as an officer. In 1766 he made the difcovery of a new paffage to China, which he then alfo first proved to be practicable at all feafons of the year for this fervice he again received the thanks of the East India Company. On quitting the fea, he relinquithed entirely all further active parfuit, at a period when his exemplary conduct had prepared the way to fituations of confiderable truft and emolument. But the allurements of ambition could biafs with no temptations a mind, generous and difinterested in the greatest degree, apparently regulated through life by the fecret conviction, that all fervices in proportion to their value ought to be voluntary, and fhould be rendered without a view to any other reward than that which alone is a compenfation to the worthy and the good, and is afforded by the confcioufnefs of having exerted every endeavour in the difcharge of duty. When in his profetion, and when his credit gave him the best means, he had in many instances befriended modeft worth, and been the active means of drawing depreffed merit from obfcurity. In private life he potteffed the amiable and focial qualities of the friend, the gentleman, and the Chriftian. His edeavours were ever prompt in comfort ing the miferies, and in relieving the diftreffes of his fellow creatures. With the weight of years he preffed nearer to another and a better world, by the most exemplary piety and by a devotion no lefs warm than it was rational and fincere. His hopes, his anxieties, and his fears, were referred to the Almighty Father of light and life, by fentiments of gratitude, confidence, and refignation. In the domeftic relations of hufb.nd and parent he was peculiarly attentive and amiable; he pofiffed uncommon humility, modefty, and
