Samuel Turner, esq. F. R. S. in his 43d year, formerly in the service of the East India company. Capt. Turner had distinguished himself at the first siege of Seringapatam, and had likewise the honour to be appointed on the embassy to Tipoo Saib, where he not only acquired' fame and profit, but established himself in the opinion of the company, as a person of superior talents, and was appointed in consequence at the head of the embassy to the Grand Lama, which furnished him with materials for compiling a very curious and interesting account of that country, together with a narrative of his travels through Bootan and part of Thibet. For this work, which had an extensive and rapid sale, the company gave him, as a mark of their approbation, 500 guineas. During his stay in India he amassed considerable wealth., His death was occasioned by a stroke of the palsy, which entirely deprived him of the use of one side, and which attacked him about twelve o'clock, on the night of the 21st of December, in passing through Church-yard alley, Fetter-lane: he was from thence conveyed to St. Andrew's watch-house, and the next morning taken to the workhouse, having remained all the time in total insensibility. Here with some difficulty his name and connections were ascertained. The latter were immediately dispatched for: on their arrival they were very solicitous to have him removed thence, but doctors Marshall and Reynolds, who were now called in, did not think it expedient, and there he expired on the morning of January 2. He has left a valuable estate in Gloucestershire. His heirs are his sisters, one of whom is married to professor White, of Oxford. 3d. At Edinburgh, Dr. William Spence, late of Farnichirst, in his 78th year he was of great eminence in his profession of physician, and was the first who discovered the great: efficacy of the bark in malignant fevers and putrid disorders. In Ireland, capt. P. Chapman, of the R. N. He was one of the officers who went with lord Macartney on the embassy to China, and was first lieutenant of the Triumph, in Jord Duncan's action off Camperdown, where he was wounded. For his good conduct that day he was made captain. The dowager lady Northcote, at her son's seat at Piue. of Middlesex, and vicar of the parish Tollesbury, Essex he had attained the great age of 82, nearly fifty of which he had spent in the most useful and laborious discharge of the sacred duties committed to him.. He married the daughter of William Paggen, of Eltham, esq. by whom he has left two sons, PaggenWilliam, M. D. physician at Doncaster, and Charles, of St. John's college, Oxford, late Saxon professor, and two daughters, 6th. At Wadley-house, Berks, the right hon. William Flower, viscount Ashbrooke, and baron of Castle-Durrow, in Ireland. He was born in 1767, and received his education at Eton, and afterwards at the university of Oxford: at the age of 13 he succeeded to the peerage by the death of his father, William. Dying unmarried, his titles devolve on his only brother the hon. Henry Flower, captain in the 58th regiment of foot. The Flowers of CastleDurrow (originally of Oakham in Rutlandshire) have flourished in Ireland since the time of queen Elizabeth, where that branch was fixed by sir William Flower, who was knighted for his services in the reduction of that kingdom. Of a paralytic stroke, at his house near Kingston, aged 83, sir Thomas Kent. Lady Wright, in her 70th year, at Bath, wife of sir James Wright, of Hoy-house Essex, and only daughter of sir William Stapleton, bart. of Grays-court near Oxford. 7th. William Brown, esq. aged 70: he served the office of high sheriff of Cumberland in 1790. 8th. In Basinghall-street, justly and deservedly lamented, aged 76, Gabriel Leekey, esq. who was upwards of 53 years an inhabitant, and for 37 years one of the com mon mon-council of the ward of Bassi4 and the keenness of his raillery. So shaw. justly were his merits and his patriotism appreciated in Ireland, that, on his final departure from that country, the governinent bestowed upon him, in a manner highly creditable to it, a pension; and gave The rev. father Arthur O'Leary, aged 73, indubitably, for his singular powers of mind, and the great influence he possessed with his Countrymen the Irish of his own persuasion, one of the most extra-him the strongest recontinendaordinary men of his day. He was the first Roman catholic clergyman who dared to argue, much less to write, against a person of a different religion, since the enaction of the popery laws. His first literary production was directed with amazing success against a Dr. Blair of Cork, who attempted to revive the heterodox doctrines of Servetus. He next established, by his very learned and eloquent writings, the important and now uncontroverted doctrine, that the Roman catholics of Ireland might, consistently with their religion, swear that the pope possessed no temporal authority in that country; which was the only condition on which any relaxation of the penal statutes was granted to them. He was about this time, 1787, attacked by Dr. Woodward, the protestant bishop of Cloyne; and his reply, which confounded his antagonist, is allowed to be a masterpiece of wit and argument. His other productions were of a miscellaneous and various nature. In nothing was he more conspicuous than in his abhorrence of popular tumult, or of the fatal consequences to be apprehended from the interference of the multitude with the legislature: in the same spirit did he rebuke the White Boys of the south of Ireland, and the associated protestants of the capital of the empire. Mr. Wesley, the defender of lord George Gordon and his infuriated znob, felt the force of his reasoning tions to this country, where he totally resided for many years previous to his decease. And here a new career of usefulness opened upon him. Before his arrival, the wretched inhabitants of St. Giles's and its neighbourhood, mostly catholics and of the lower order, were immersed in every species of immorality and irreligion, doubtless arising in a great, measure from-the want of a place of public worship and proper pastors. With the most unwearied zeal, and after enduring numberless mortifications and disappointments, he succeeded in establishing St. Patrick's chapel, Soho, and may indeed be said to have consecrated it by his virtues and talents. From this period, the amelioration in the manners and habits of these poor wretches was extremely visible, and the very best consequences have already arisen, and may be confidently looked to, from the institution. He had lately been in France for the recovery of his health, and returned only two days previous to his death, which took place at his lodgings in Great Portland-street. His obsequies were celebrated in a magnificent manter at St. Patrick's chapel; and he was followed to Pancras, the place of his interment, by nearly 2000 real mourners! John Cockburne, esq. aged 89: he was paymaster-general of the forces at the battle of Dettingen, and upwards of 50 years storekeeper of of the orduance at Woolwich, where he died.

She had been frequently wounded during that period, and was interred, as she desired, with 18th. The hon. Miss Primrose the honours of war. Elphinstone. 19th.
