 At Hammersmith, Dr. Charhs Tuijhr,

 sued the arduous and important duties 

 of his office, for sixteen years, with a 

 tieeree of zeal and ability highly honour- 

 able to himself and beneficial to the So- 

 ciety. Reared in the bosom of our manu- 

 factures, his mind received an early bias 

 in favour of science and the arts; and he 

 pursued them with unabated ardour to the 

 turmination of a long live, devoted not 

 only to their improvement, but to every 

 other species of public utility. Such was 

 the sincerity of his attachment to the pa- 

 triotic body of which ho was the official 

 organ, that within a few hours of his disso- 

 lution he expressed the most lively wishes 

 for its prosperity, and a fervent hope that 

 his successor would be animated by a zeal 

 superior to his own. By his death the 

 Society has lost an invaluable officer, and 

 mankind a friend. The acquirements of 

 liis head, and the sensibilities of his heart, 

 did him equal honour, and will be long re- 

 membered by the extensive circle in 

 which he moved. He was the author of 

 Remarks on Sea Water as conducive to 

 Health, and of various interesting articles 

 in the Transactions of the Society to 

 which he belonged, in this Magazine, in 

 the Philosophical Alagaxiue, and in otiier 

 miscellaneous publications. His remains

At his house, Hiahbury Terrace, 76, 

 Joseph Hiiddavt, esq. F.li.SS. and an elder 

 brother of the Tniuiy House. — He was 

 born at AHenby, in Cnmberlanl, in 174], 

 and in 1773 entered into the service of the 

 East-India Company, in which he attained 

 the rank of commander in 1778, but quitted 

 that employment in 1788, and retired to 

 enjoy the fruits of his industry. Captaia 

 Huddart distinguished himself as a nau- 

 tical surveyor both in ilie East Indian Seas 

 and on our own coast. He also obtained 

 a patent for the manufacture of cordage, 

 for which purpose he erected maclmiery at 

 Maryport. The proprietors of East-In- 

 dia Stock were so sensible of the value of 

 his seivices, and of iiis integrity, that they 

 elected him one of their directors. He 

 was a valuable contributor to the Transac* 

 tions of the Koyal Society, and published 

 several valuable charts. 



In Btlgiave place, Pimlico, 80, Mr, 

 Thomas Ca k, proprietor of Exeter 

 'Clian;;e ; who occupied, with the sale of 

 cutleiy, turnery, &c. about one half of 

 that extensive "range of building. His 

 dealings were marked with the utmost in- 

 tegiity, and he realised a fortune said to 

 be immense. Every day he dined with his 

 plate on liie large board, in his little 

 closet; and the expence of his meal, with 

 liis pint of porter included, never reached 

 one shilling. Thus, from an humble 

 oriijin he raised himself by perseverance to 

 a splendid fortune: and, though in private 

 Lfe he had the appearance of being parsi- 

 monious, yet the liberal provision given to 

 his family in his lifetime, his private chari« 

 ties, and the liberality of his sentiments, 

 left proofs of the benevolence of his heart* 

 His property is estimated at three hun- 

 dred thousand pounds, to be divided be- 

 tween his son and grandchildren.

 in the Artillery, and knight commander of 

 the Order of the Bath. His death was oc-. 

 casioned, while on duty as field-officer of 

 the day, by his endeavour to .slop a bro- 

 ther officer's carriage, the horses of which 

 had taken fright. He was struck in the 

 breast by the pole, and the carriage passed 

 over his body. He lingered in great 

 agony until three o'clock the following 

 morning, leaving a widow and four chil- 

 dren to lament their irreparable loss.
