on the staffof the British army in Portugal. 
At Andover, Mr. Charles Heath, many 
years a brewer and banker in that town: a

At Millbrook, Mr. Thomas Clark, ‘and a

At Portsea, aged 73, William Bayly, esq. 
late first master of the Royal Academy, 
Portsmouth. He was a man of acknowledged 
abilities, possessing strong natural talents, 
anda large portion of scientific and acquired 
knowledge : as a mathematician and astrono- 
mer by profession, he was of considerable 
eminence, and highly esteemed by some of 
the first astronomers of the age. Other cir- 
cumstances of his life rendered him equally 
worthy of respect, having twice accompanied 
Captain Cook round the world, and shared 
his dangers, though he escaped the fate of 
that enterprising and celebrated navigator. He 
was born at Bishop Cairngns in Wiltshire, 
and in the early part of his life followed the 
pursuit of his father, who lived upon a small 
farm in that parish ; and, during this period, 
whilst in the capacity of his father’s plough- 
boy, he acquired from the exciseman of the 
neighbouring village, the rudiments of his 
Subsequent attainments. Having in this man- 
ner obtained a competent knowledge of arith- 
metic, and by his rapid progress evinced the 
abilities he possessed, throwgh the recommen- 
dation of Mr. Kingston, of Bath, by whom 
they were first noticed, he became at an early 
age usher of a school at Stoke near Clifton. 
After filling the situation of a mathematical 
teacher at another seminary for some time, 
he was made known to Dr. Maskelayne, the 
atsronomer royal at Greenwich, by whom he 
was engaged as an astronomical assistant. In 
1769, under the patronage of Dr. Maskelayne, 
Mr, Bayly was sent outbythe Royal Society 
tothe north Cape, to observe the transit of 
Venus ; his account of which was subsequently 
published inthe Philosophical Transactions. 
In 1772, he was associated with Dr. Wallis as 
one of the astronomers to attend Captain Cook 
on his second voyage of discovery, to resolve 
the question concerning a southern con- 
tinent. And in 1776 again set out in the 
voyage which unfortunately terminated the 
Jaborious and useful life of that brave and 
excellent commander. After returning to 
England, having by the several voyages he 
had undertaken, rendered the mest essential 
tervices to his country and the world, in 
accurately determining the latitude and 
longitude of the several places discovered by 
his various surveys and astronomical obser- 
vations, Mr. Bayly was, in the year 1785, on 
the decease of Mr. Whitkell, appointed by 
the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, 
head master of the Royal Assademy at 
Wilts—Berks—Somersets 93 
Portsmouth, which situation he held witt 
great creditto himself and equal advantage to 
the institution until the new establishment 
of the Royal Naval College in 1807, when 
his Majesty in council, in consideration of 
Mr. Bayly’s long, meritorious, and eminent 
services, granted him a handsome pension, on 
which he retired from public service. 
Off the Isle of Wight, Mr. Thomas 
Dwyer, of the commissariat department. 
He was on the eve of sailing to join the 
army in Portugal, when, returning from 
the Isle of Wight in a boat to join his ship 
off Cowes, the sail jibbed, and the boat most 
unfortunately upset, by which accident this 
gentleman perished inthe 25th year of his 
age. His various information, and excellent 
disposition, justly endeared him toan extensive 
circle of relations and friends by whom 
his loss will be long sincerely and deeply 
lamented. He was a son of the late Mr. 
Dennis Dwyer, of Stanmore, Middlesex.
