on the 15th of December, and acquitted; Revell was found guilty, and executed on the 17th. On the morning of his execution, having particularly requested the attendance of Mr. Gamble, the Sacrament was administered to him by that gentleman, affiited by Mr. Stubbs, chaplain of the county prifon; they were joined by Mr. Archer, the infpector; and with thete perfons he remained in converfation until the theriff's arrival was announced. One expreffion of his indeed was peculiarly forcible: "Had my mafter," faid he, "been a religious man, I fhould not have felt a tenth part of my prefent forrow; but, wretched murderer that I am, I have fent him into the prefence of God without a moment's preparation." When called on to prepare for the final fcene, he attended with a degree of compofure equally diftant from confidence and defpondency, afcended to the place of execution, and, after 3 fhort exhortation from one of the clergymen, and a few minutes paffed in prayer, he asked permiffion to addrefs the people, and, advancing to the front of the fcaffold, fpoke audibly and firmly to the following effect: "The only reparation I can make to the unfortunate woman who has fuffered fo much by my crimes is, to declare that she is entirely innocent of Mr. Barry's murder; thefe hands fpilled his blood; the guilt is entirely my own. I fhall make one farther obfervation, and I befeech you, for God's fake, to attend to it: let old and young refrain from drinking to excefs, particularly in the forenoon, or elfe the terrible curfe of Almighty God will undoubtedly be the confequence; it is to this practice I owe my deftruction." He then turned with a placid countenance; obferved, that he felt his heart unufually light; prayed fervently to God to shower bleffings on thofe perfons whofe inftructions had contributed to bring him to a fenfe of his fituation; and, after uttering the publican's ejaculation, fubmitted to the fentence of the law, evincing the influence of Chriftianity in fo confpicuous a point of view as would have put Infidelity out of countenance. The unfortunate and lamented Mr. Barry was of a respectable family in the county of Meath, and had been brought up, it is faid, a wine-cooper in Dublin; his property, which is fuppofed to amount to upwards of 80,oool, was the acquirement of his own induftry. Previous to the late war, he was one of the firm of an eminent houfe at Bourdeaux, viz. Barton, Barry, and Johnfon. Being a zealous loyalift, he quitted the partnerthip at the breaking out of the war, from fome difference he had with his partner Mr. Johnfon, placed his property in the English funds, and came to Dublin; fome very refpectable citizens of which city mention that Mr. Barry, when in Bourdeaux, was

distinguished for hofpitality to his countrymen, and was much regarded; but, on his return to Ireland, changed his ufual difpofition, chuling a rectufe life, neither with ing to vifit or be visited. He expreffed an intention, a Mort time before his death, of returning to France. A will was found in his houfe by Major Swan, who, at the inftance of his relatives, made a frict search for that purpofe. The following are fome of its contents: He bequeaths to Anne Africana, born at Tunis, in Africa, 1778 (fuppofed to he now in Leghorn), daugh. of his late brother, David Barry, 30,000l. ftock, with an injunction to take care of her mother and fifter Caroline for life, who are now at Hythe, near Southampton, or to pay them an annuity of 200l. a year for their lives. To his nephew, Thomas Barry, 2000l. with a paternal estate. To his nieces, Catharine and Martha Barry, 2000l. each. After ftating feveral other legacies, he devifes the refidue of his for tune to be divided between Simpson's hofpital and the house of industry, Dublin; and it is remarkable that he had also bequeathed rol. each to the two fervants then living with him, one of whom has fince been his murderer.

13. At Malta, Capt. Pearce, principal commiffary for the foreign army late under the Prince of Condé. On his paffage from Egypt to Malta he was attacked by a fever, which, in a few days after he landed, proved fatal.

It is ftated that the woods on the Caitle-Hyde demefne would fell for 100,000l. Arthur Hyde, efq. of CastleHyde, was the reprefentative, in the male line, of the antient Hydes of Cheshire, from whom proceeded the Earls of Clarendon,

rendon, and which intermarried with the royal family of Great Britain, in the per fon of Anne Hyde, Duchess of York, mo ther of Queen Anne. From this house, in the female hne, is alfo defcended the Earl of Darnley, through the Lady Theodofia Hyde, Baronefs Clifton in her own right, to whom Queen Anne gave (on her mar riage with the first carl) a dowry of 10,000l. in acknowledgement of their near affinity. The Hydes of Cattle-H de in IreJand, of the fame original, have flourished for fome centuries in that kingdom; and, on Q. Anne's afcending the throne (being maternally defcended from the Hydes), the then heir of the family being prefented at court, as her relation, is faid to have experienced fignal marks of her regard..

She excelled in all the accomplishments of modern education, but had learnt to confider them as the orna ments, not the employment, of life; and poffcfled extenfive information on more important fubjects. She was one of the happy few that blend politenefs with_fimplicity, chearfulness with reflection, fuperority with humility, knowledge with mnocence, compliance with refolution, and unoftentatious benevolence with unaffe&ted piety. Long conscious of her approaching end, the endured great fufferings with moft admirable compofure and refignation. Though the was bleffed by the affection, and conftituted the delight, of her family, enjoyed the esteem and admiration of her friends, and was at the age when life is most alluring, the quitted it, if not without regret, without repining; fupremely happy in being early removed from a world of temptation and disappointment, her heart unwrung by mifery, and her mind unblemished by vice.

25. Mr. William Lucas, formerly an eminent brewer; a man well known and

greatly refpected in that line, and an inftance that integrity and indefatigable attention are not fufficient to fhield against the shafts of adverfity. Confiderable losses, from various concurring circumstances, determined him to quit the brewery; and, fome time after, he opened a circulating bhraty at Knightsbridge, where he died. A feries of difaftrous events, it is fuppofed, preyed on his fpirits, and undermined his conftitution. In the meridian of life, when his profpects were flattering, he married a very young woman, who has chearfully accommodated herself to the viciffitudes of his fortune, and who is now, after a long and painful attendance on the bed of ficknefs, left a widow in great affliction.

In his 43d year, in confequence of a paralytic feizure, Samuel Turner, efq. F.R.S. and formerly in the fervice of the E. India Company. In 1785 Capt. T. was fent, by Governor Haftings, on an embaffy to the Grand Lama; and fince his return to this country, about two years ago, published a very curious and interesting account of his miffion, together with a narrative of his travels through Bootan and part of Thibet (reviewed in our vol. LXX. p. 965)The circumstances attending this gentle man's death are fomewhat fingular: "On Monday, Dec. 21, about 12 o'clock at night, as a gentleman was paffing through Churchyard-alley, in Fetter-lane, he was obferved, by a woman on the spot, to make a fudden stop, and, after staggering a fhort way, to fail to the ground. On going to his affittance, it was thought, from the diftortion of his features, that he was in a fit of apoplexy; but, on waiting fome time, and finding that he ftill remained in a state of infenfibilety, further help was procured, and it was deemed neceffary to take him in a coach to St Andrew's watch-houfe, where he renamed till about 7 o'clock in the morning of the 22d, and thence conveyed to the workhoufe in Shoe-lane, Holborn, where his pockets were fearched, in hope that fome papers might be found about him to lead

A

to a difcovery of his name and place of abode, but not the leaft circumftance appeared to trace him. It was then thought neceflary to fend for the overfeers of the parith, in order that proper affittance might be rendered him, ho procured him every necellary attention that Humanity coul! fuggeft, or the fituation of the houfe would afford, there not being the leaft doubt of his being a perfon of reipectability, having a gold watch in his pocket, a pair of gold fleeve-huttons, &c. and his appearance in every other relpect indicating the gentleman. On his boots being drawn off, that he might be put to bed, it was obferved that the name of Capt. Turner was written in the infide of one of them. This circumitance coming to the knowledge of a perfon in the employ of Mr. Whittingham, pru ter, in Dean-street, Fetter-lane, he faid he recollected a gentleman of that name and defcription, who had written a book about two years ago, intituled "Turner's Embatly to Thibet," and that he then lived in St. James's place. Application was directly made there, when this information proved correct, as his manfervant had been long in fofpence, waiting the return of his master, who was a gentleman of great property and connexions. His country-feat is in Gloucefterthire, where he had a valuable eftate, and likewife confiderable property in the East Indies. One of his fitters is married to an alderman of Glovcefter, and another' to Profeffor White, of Oxford. Capt. T. had been in the fervice of the Eaft India Company in the late war in India, where he diftinguithed himself at the ficge of Seringapatam; and had hikewife the honour to be appointed on the embaffy to Tippoo Sab, where he not only acquired fame and profit, but established himself, in the opinion of the Company, as a perfon of fuperior talents, who appointed him to the head of their embaffy to Thiber, which furnished him with the materials for compiling the work above alluded to, and, as a mark of their approbation and esteem, voted him 500 guineas. During his tay in India he amafled a large property. One of the first steps taken by his friends in town, on his being difcovered as above, was, to write to his friends in Oxford and Gloucefter, who immediately repaired to town to via their unfortunate relative. They added to the medical aid and advice of Dr. Marshall that of Dr. Reynolds. The calamity proved to be a ftroke of the pally, which entirely deprived him of the ufe of en fide. It was not until the morning of the 30th that he recovered his fpeech, when he uttered a few words to his fervant, who constantly attended him at the workhoufe. His friends were very defirous to have him removed thence; but the phyficians thought it would be attend

ed

ed with dangerous confequences, and there he expired on the morning of Jan. 2" He was buried in St. James's church.

5. At Cheshunt, the Rev. Herbert Mayo, D. D. rector of the parish of St. George, Middlefex, and vicar of the parish of Tollefbury, Effex. He was born in the month of October, 1720; admitted of Brazenofe college, Oxford, where he proceeded M. A. 1745, B.D. 1762, and D.D. 1763; and was prefented to the rectory of St. George in 1764, by that Society, of which he was then fellow, and to the vicarage of Tollefbary in 1799, by Mr. Rufh, the patron. The long and valuable life of this moft worthy member of fociety has

afforded abundant matter of inftruction to the confiderate part of mankind. Under the defcriptions of a citizen, a Christian, and a clergyman, in all the domestic and focial relations, his character was strictly irreproachable and highly meritorious. His rectitude, fteadiness, and liberality of principle, his perfect command of temper and felf government, the firmnefs of his at-' tachments, and placability of his refentments, the fincerity and openness of his manners, and, above all, the extenfiveness, impartiality, and economy of his benevolence, are qualities which, it is hoped, have not vainly fhed their luftre, though amidft a licentious and a fattidious age. But, not to diverge too far into general panegyrick, it is meant to enlarge upon this exemplary character, with regard to its most appropriate excellence, as it exhibits a fingular fpecimen of the good effects refulting to fociety from a plain and vigorous' understanding, actuated by right principles, and applied to practicable and benencial objects. Unambitious of celebrity, and incapable of affectation, he made it his chef aim to be useful; and in that aim he mot perfectly fucceeded. Though poffeffed of a very competent fhare both of profeffional and general knowledge, be thought it no degradation to his mental powers to direct them principally to thofe less thining but most importent offices of the clerical function which are too frequently configned to the care of deputies, or elfe performed in a fpiritlefs, perfunctory manner. The curacies of two very extenfive and populous parithes, St. Mary, Whitechapel, and Christ church, Spitalfields, in which he was fucceffively engaged for nearly 20 years, afforded him full fcope for thefe exertions during the prime and vigour of life, and excellently qualified tum for that preferment, which he accepted from his college, in preference to the rectory of MiddletonCheney, in Northamptonshire, which, in many respects, appeared more eligible. With what propriety and ability he difcharged his miniftry in these three feveral parishes the furviving inhabitants can bear the most convincing teftimony; among whom the decorous gravity of his appearance and deportment, the willingness and punctuality of his attendance upon every call of duty, the plain, but earnett and impreffive manner in which he performed the facred offices, are even yet the topicks of respect and admiration. One peculiar commendation thould not be here omitted, as applying to him in each relation of rector and curate: that, as no fubftitate ever more faithfully confulted the intereft of his employer, fo never was beneficiary more kindly attentive to the cafe, the comfort, and credit, of his afliftants, on whom indeed he devolved no farther employment than what was neceHary to render himself
