This worthy and excellent person was one of the last surviving nieces of the Right Rev. Dr. Lavington, formerly Bishop of Exeter. She was a

Christian in the best sense of the word; whose life and conduct were strictly in unison with the principles she professed. With a mind upright, innocent, and pure, and a temper well regulated, tranquil, and serene, she was ever conscientious in the exercise of those domestic virtues which are essential both to personal and social comfort; and in the practical observance of the great duties of humility, piety, and benevolence. In her declining years, she supported the depressions of age, and the gradual decays of nature, with exemplary patience, meekness, and resignation to the disposals of a wise and gracious Providence; while her growing infirmities were soothed and alleviated by the kindest solicitude and the tenderest attentions of filial duty and affection. She met the aweful approaches of dissolution with calmness and composure of spirit, sustained by humble hope and pious trust in the promises of the Gospel, and the inexhaustible consolations of infinite mercy; bearing testimony to the truth and efficacy of those exalted principles which suggested that instructive and affecting appeal" See in what peace the Christian can die!"

His whole life was a comment on those words of our blessed Saviour, "Wist ye not that I must be about my father's business?"

Feb. 14. In his 22d year, in consequence of being thrown from his horse whilst engaged in a hunting-party in the neighbourhood of Killiney, George-John Frederick Sackville, fourth Dúke of Dorset. This young nobleman, who had been on a visit to Lord Powerscourt, was an adventuFous horseman, and entered warmly into the

spirit of the chace. The lamentable event was occasioned by a leap over a kind of double ditch, about six feet wide, with a wall about two feet high: it was not considered a dangerous leap; but the ditch proved rotten, and gave way. The horse went with it, and the animal, in an exertion to save himself, fell a second time upon the Duke. His Grace attempted to walk, but could not. He was carried to the nearest house. Lord Powerscourt asked him if he was much hurt: he put his hand to his chest, and answered that it gave him great pain; and begged them not to talk to him. Lord Powerscourt sent off to Dublin for Surgeons Crampton and Macklin; but, before their arrival, he had expired.-His Grace was born Nov. 15, 1793. He was unmarried; and, having left no brother, the Dukedom of Dorset, and the title of Earl of Middlesex, descend to Charles Sackville Germaine, Viscount Sackville, eidest son of the celebrated Lord George Sackville (who in 1770 assumed the name of Germaine); and the large property, or the greater part of it, will vest in his Grace's sisters.

Feb. 16. Mr. Mark Lonsdale, a man eminent in his qualifications as a literary character; a man of integrity; a firm friend; and possessed of a liberal and valuable mind. He was a native of Carlisle; and, after having been in the metropolis for some time, he turned his pursuits, both as an author and mechanic, to the most intricate parts of theatrical amusement. His abilities procured his promotion to be manager of Sadler's Wells, under the proprietorships of Messrs. King, Wroughton, Arnold, and Hughes: he was the immediate predecessor of Mr. C. Dibdin. When he gave up his situation at the Wells, he became a part proprietor of the pictures of the Battles of Seringapatam, &c. exhibited at the Lyceum some years since; at which place Mr. Lonsdale projected that elegant and instructive scenic exhibition aud oral description denominated Ægyptiana. This exhibition was too classic: such a mode of rational amusement did not suit the inclinations of the beau monde. The shadows of the Phantasmagoria, though terrific, were attractive! The Publick chose to be terrified, rather than informed; and the Lyceum was, therefore, subservient to all the illusions of a magic lanthorn. It was Mr. Lonsdale's intention, had his first plan succeeded, to have given the peculiarities of the geography, natural history, and manners of the inhabitants of other countries; but a disarrangement of his circumstances was the reward of his first national endeavour! He then retired to Ireland, where he became tutor to a young nobleman, till his dramatic friends, having determined upon drawing him from
