In the neighbourhood of Perth, the hon. Capt. Francis Hay Drummond, of Cromlix, only brother of the earl of Kinnoul. In attempting to cross the river Earn, by a ford, on which the water had been deepened by the rain of the preceding evening, he was thrown from his horse into the river, where he perished. From the report of a boy who was in the neighbourhood, it is conjectured, that the horse having got beyond his depth, Capt. D. kept his back while he swam across, but was unseated in the violent struggles of the terrified animal to get up the bank at a steep and unfavourable place. He had spent the preceding day with Lord Ruthven at his seat of Freeland, and was prevented by the badness of the evening from returning, as he intended, to Dupplin castle, where he lately arrived on a visit to his brother, after escaping the dangers of war both in Walcheren and Portugal. In the morning he was anxious to get home betimes, that he might accompany his brother to church. His body was found in the Earn, Oct. 30, at nine o'clock, 48 hours after its submersion. It was nearly half a mile, by the course of the river, below the ford which he had attempted to pass.

His Lordship succeeded his grandfather, Henry Earl of Sussex, as 18th Lord Grey of Ruthyn, on April 22, 1799; and afterwards took the name of Yelverton. He married, in June 1809, Maria, daughter of Wm. Kellam, esq. of Ryton, by whom he has left an infant daughter, who succeeds to the titles and estates. His Lordship held some time a commission in one of the regiments of foot guards.

Aged 85, Mr. Thomas Turner, collector of the Dock Dues at Hull. The early part of Mr. Turner's life was spent at sea, he having entered into the service as clerk onboard a King's vessel, in 1735, when only 10 years old. He was eighteen years clerk, on-board different vessels; and afterwards purser, seven years in the Sapphire, and fifteen in the Juno, of 32 guns each. He went into the William and Mary yacht, as clerk, in 1740, and was on-board her when the mother of his present Majesty was brought over and landed at Greenwich. In July 1755, he went clerk in the Royal Caroline yacht, which in the succeeding May took his late Majesty on-board, at Harwich, and landed him at Helvoetsluys, and in September brought him back to England, being the last time his Majesty visited his continental dominions. was also on-board the same yacht when she brought over her present Majesty to England. In 1771, being then purser of the Juno, he, sailed in that vessel at the time she went to take possession of Falkland islands, and returned in her to Plymouth. At the commencement of the works for a dock at Hull, in 1774, Mr. Turner was appointed Collector of the Dock Dues, an office which he filled up to the time of his death, in a manner highly honourable to himself, and satisfactory to his employers.

Oct. 31. In his 75th year, Rev. Alexander Cromleholme, rector of Sherington and Reachampton, both in the county of Bucks, and diocese of Lincoln. He went

out into life as domestic chaplain to the late bishop of Durham, and to lord chancellor Thurlow and though from such connexions he might, without any imputation of unreasonable ambition, have looked forward to a much more elevated situation in the church; yet, when by the sudden and premature death of his Patron, every expectation of this kind was done away, he retired contentedly to his parsonage at Sherington; happier, as he frequently observed to his friends, in a release from the anxieties of dependence, than mortified by the disappointment of his hopes. Here for the space of 26 years he discharged, with conscientious fidelity, the various duties of a parish priest, inculcating by his doctrine, and illustrating by his example, the blessed effects of pure and undefiled Religion. In his public capacity as a Magistrate, he was cautious and temperate, equally free from corruption and partiality. In his private capacity, pious without enthusiasm, devout without hypocrisy, and charitable without ostentation. But it was in the circle of social and domestic life, amidst his family and his friends, that his worth and virtues were most duly appreciated. Endeared to them in no common degree by cheerfulness of temper, simplicity of manners, and the most studious attention to their comfort, a deep and lasting regret for such a loss will live in their hearts, when this short memorial of respect from one who was honoured with his friendship, shall be no longer remembered.

At College-green, Bristol, Lieut.-col. Frith, of the North Hampshire Militia, deeply regretted by his regiment, and a very extensive circle of military and other friends. His hospitable, cheerful, friendly, and humane disposition, gained him universal affection; and his benevolence to those under his command, particularly in the lower ranks, will be long remembered in the regiment, as he was the constant visitor of the sick, nor could the malignity of their disorder prevent his being a daily

attendant at their bedsides. Anxious in the discharge of his duty, he was the friend of every good soldier, and watched unremittingly over their comforts and their wants. His remains were solemnly interred on the 4th, at two o'clock, in St. Augustin's church with military honours, attended by all the Officers in the garrison.

At Kentish-town, aged 93, Charles Grignion, who flourished in this country, as an Historical Engraver, upwards of half a century. He passed a portion of his early youth at Paris, in the study of the celebrated Le Bas; and, though his stay with that Artist was but short, was of sufficient duration to enable him to imbibe such sound principles, as laid the foundation of a style at once energetic and elegant. Having commenced his career in this school, he could draw, as well as engrave; and, as he possessed that rare talent in his art, the power of giving a free and faithful translation of a picture, the quality and cast of his productions were bold and original. His engraving was not an imitation of Audran, of Edelinck, or of Froy; it was the emanation of a natively-vigorous mind, skilfully directed by a familar study of the ablest models. His best works not only possess, in an eminent degree, whatever constitutes character and expression (as the print he engraved from one of Hogarth's series of Election Pictures abundantly proves) but they partake of that curiosa felicitas that happy carelessness of execution, which is as much a characteristic beauty in the style of painting or engraving, as it is in that of poetry. As Mr. Grignion advanced in life, his pure old-fashioned style was superseded by a more imposing, a more finished, but a less intelligent manner. This revolution in Engraving threw him into obscurity, and reduced him to poverty; but a few Artists and lovers of Art, to whom his virtues and his talents were equally dear, by a prompt and efficient subscription, smoothed the path of his declining age, and enabled him to close his days in the bosom of his family, with a contented and grateful mind. The above venerable Engraver resigned his life without any pain or struggle, and rather like one insensibly falling into a soft sleep, than by the unerring hand of "the King of Terrors." The vital oil, which supplied the lamp of life, was exhausted merely by old age. Of the elegant art of English Engraving he first planted the seed, which has risen to such luxuriance and maturity under the more accomplished hands of our chief Engravers, either of whom he would have equalled, had he, in conjunction with his knowledge of drawing, and his various taste, been competent to a more powerful production
