Deaths in and near London! 



is fuccccded by Lis brother, the Hon. John 

 Reginalil Pindar, 



At Lexiiif^ton, Kentucky, 33, H'ilUam 

 iNossim Bentlnj, esq. son of Mr. B. of 

 Highbury, by this event his family and 

 friends are thrown into heavy affliction, 

 for he was much respected, and deeply 

 regretted, by all who knew him. At the 

 time of iiis death he was eni;aged in 

 writing an account of liis travels, with a 

 view to publication, and in which he had 

 made considerable progress. He was 

 eminently qualified for the task, and for 

 which he had abundant materials, having 

 travelled ( by land and water) about twen- 

 ty-five thousand miles, including in this 

 (icconnt no journey of less than one thou- 

 sand miles. He had traversed the prin- 

 cipal parts of the United States, and 

 coursed along the grcal rivers Wabash, 

 Ohio, and Mississippi, down to New ()r- 

 ieans : no doubt his description and obser- 

 vations upon the ncwiy-settled Western 

 States, in particular, would have been ac- 

 ceptable to the public. His literary, 

 astronomical, and scientific, attainments, 

 in general, were considerable; and, had he 

 lived, it is probable mankind would have 

 been benefited by his labours.

 General Vere iVarner Husscy. 



In Mortimer-street, CavetKlisli-square, 

 66, Jvsepli Nolteldii!<, est/, the eminent 

 sculptor. He was for many years at the 

 head of his piofrssion in Kn-land; and has 

 produced works, for grace, beauty, and 

 fe'<nins, little, if at all, inferior to the 

 liest of any artist since his " prime of 

 days." But a lew years ago there was 

 liardly a bust seen but from his chissel ; 

 and his monumental designs and subjects 

 of fancy were very numerous, and justly 

 admired. The Vtrnts with the Suiidal, 

 npon which he was employed twenty 

 or thirty years ago, may be said to be his 

 citefd'esuvre. In private life Mr. Nolle- 

 kins was rather of penurious habits ; and 

 the consequence has been the accumula- 

 .tion of perhai)s the largest fortune ever 

 acquired by an artist, amounting to a quar- 

 ter of a million sterling. He has bequeath- 

 ed three Icgaeioa of 60,OIW/. each; one to 

 the Iving, tlie others to l\'r. Douce, the 

 well-known conmientator oi; .SliakFpeare, 

 und Dr. Ktrrick, public librarian at 

 Cambridge, 



At Cheltenham, 80, Lnrd Glenhen-k. 

 He was the son of John Douglas, esq. of 

 Fechil, Aberdeenshire; was educated at 

 tlie university of A berdeen, and, originally 

 intended for a physician. But he changed 

 Itis intention, came to London, studied the 

 Iliw, and was called to the bar. Likemost 

 yonng banisters, lie applied himself to a 

 particular branch of the profession ; he af- 

 .leuded the committees of the House of 

 Coinuiont ou election atfaiis, conetitnted 



[June 1, 



by Mr. Grenville's bill; and In 1777 pnb* 

 lislicd a '' History of the Cases of contro- 

 verted Elections determined during the 

 Fourteenth Parliament of Great Britain," 

 4 vols. 8vo., which reached a second edi- 

 tion in 1802. This work brought him into 

 note, and some practice in election con- 

 cerns. He then relinquished those reports 

 to youn:;er barrlstere, and published " Re- 

 ports of Cases determined in the Court of 

 Kmg's Bench in the lOlh, 20th, and i!lst, 

 George III, folio, 1782." Mr. Douglas 

 continued at the bar till he married Lady 

 Ann North, daughter of the prime minister 

 Noith, which introduced him into political 

 life, lie was made a king's counsel, nomi- 

 nated to a variety of offices in succes- 

 siun, introduced into parliament, and ap. 

 pointed, by the interest of his father- in. 

 law, chief secretary in Ireland, and after, 

 wards a commissioner of the treasury. He 

 ri sided some years in Ireland, and in J 801, 

 was created a peer of that kingdom, by 

 the title of Baron Glenbervie. After this 

 elevation he enjoyed several lucrative 

 places : he became joint paymaster of the 

 army; then, in 1803,SHrveyor.general of the 

 king's woods and forests, which he resigned 

 in 1803, and was re-appointed in 1807. 

 He next was appointed a commissioner for 

 the affairs of India, and acted for some time 

 as vice-president of the Board of Trade. 

 By Lady Ann, who is deceased, he had 

 one Sim, who distinguished himself by wri- 

 ting " A Comparison between the Ancient 

 and IModern Greeks," and .'at in pailiament 

 for rhe family borough of Banbury, but 

 died a few years ago. 



[Dr. HuightoH (whose death we noticed 

 in our last number) commenced his no- 

 viciate in the medical school of Southwark, 

 and, after qualifying himself, he accepted 

 the appointment of surgeon to the Guards. 

 He relinquished this office, and was ap- 

 pointed Demonstrator of Anatomy in the 

 Borough Medical School, and to his abili- 

 ties tlrat establishment is greatly indebted 

 for the character and reputation it has 

 maintained in the medical world. While 

 in this sitnation, he cultivated the science 

 of experimental physioloiry ; and, on the 

 death of Dr. Skeete, at that limeLectnref 

 on I'hysiology, he sncceeded him in that 

 department. A few years after he had 

 commenced his lectnres, he became the 

 coadjutor of the late Dr. Lowder, a cele- 

 brated Lecturer on Midwifery; and, in 

 consequence, this science of late years 

 principally engaged his atte^ition : for the 

 last thirty years he has been considered 

 the most able teacher of nndwifery in 

 Europe. On the death of Dr. Turnbnll 

 he was elected Physician to the Eastern 

 Dispensary : this appointment he resigned 

 on account of the increase of his private 

 practice. Dr. Haighton has displayed his 

 professional knowledge in several valuable
