 ant of the ancient \isoounts of Fermoiy. 

 Her first husband was S. C. Lcmaistie,

 of Bengal. By this gentleman she had 

 three children, Mis. Rawlins, Mrs. Mac- 

 rae, and J. G. Lcmaistre, esq. (author of

 Kingston, and rector of St. Mary Alder- 

 mary, and St. Thomas the Apostle. For 

 twenty-six years he discharged the office 

 «f an exemplary resident pastor in his 

 parish of Kingston ; and from his general 

 benevolence, uudissembled pitty, and nu- 

 nicrous, though secret acts of charity, was 

 universally beloved and respected by all 

 who were acquainted with his character. 



At Upper Homerton, 65, Nicholas De 

 St. Croix, esq. of the island of Jersey. 



Suddenly, at the advanced age of 84, 

 Dr. Juhit Squire, of Ely-place, Holborn, 

 atenber of ttte Royal College of t'h^sl* 



cians, and for matiy years, until increas* 

 ing infirmities obliged him to relinquisb 

 practice, one of the Physicians of tl»e 

 Lying-in Charity for delivering women »t 

 their own residence. The whole life of 

 this truly venerable gentleman, has been 

 one continued series of charity and bene-* 

 volence, and the loss of none of those 

 great and good characters in tlie medical 

 world, of whom society has been deprived 

 within these few years back, will be more 

 seriously felt or more universally lamented. 

 Twenty-eight years ago, in conjunction 

 with his friend Mr. Chambeilaine, in whom 

 he found a most ready and indefatigable 

 coadjutor; the three branches of the me- 

 dical profession were indebted to thi» 

 worthy and excellent veteran for setting 

 on foot an institution not before attempt- 

 ed in this metropolis, for the benefit of the 

 relatives of members of the medical pro- 

 fession left in distressed circumstances, 

 under the title of The Society Jor Rdief »/ 

 H'idows and Orphans of Medical Mai in 

 London and its Vicinily. By tlie unwearitd 

 exertions of these two individuals, this in- 

 stitution, from a small beginning, has arisen 

 to a state of prosperity that its most san- 

 guine supporters could not have expected 

 in so shot t a period, and has afforded re- 

 lief to many families, who but for its as- 

 sistance, must in many instances, have en- 

 dured the most humiliating succours of a 

 parish workhouse. 



In Portland-place, 62, David Pike IVatfs, 

 esq. one of the most amiable and useful 

 men of his age. in his early years he re- 

 ceived his education from Alexander Cru- 

 den, author of the " Concordance to the 

 Bible," whose favourite pupil he had the 

 happiness of being. His connexion as 

 clerk of the late Benjamin Kenton, esq. 

 a considerable wine and porter merchant, 

 connncnced at an early period of bis life; 

 and Mr. Kenton having an only daughter, 

 the respect and esteem which Mr. Watts 

 felt for her father, led to a .sympathetic 

 affection for her — and this affection met it* 

 due return; but it was not received with 

 approbation by Mr. K. The result was of 

 serious consequence to the fa her as well 

 as his daughter, for it impaired her health, 

 and, by a gradual decline, she sunk in sor- 

 row to the grave. The conduct of Mr. 

 Watts upon that melancholy occasion, and 

 a more intimate acquaintance with his sub- 

 sequent character, so endeared him to hit 

 patron, that unavailing regret accompa- 

 nied the rest of Mr. Kenton's days ! Mr. 

 Kenton died in May, l&OO; by which 

 event Mr. Watts became the master of 

 chief part of his immense fortune. Soon 

 after this event, Mr. Watts retired from 

 business, to the late residence of Mr. K, 

 in Gower-slreet, where he devoted his ac- 

 tive mind to the cares of domestic life, and 

 to the promotion of public welfare; iu
