838 Earl of Orford —the Marquis of Hertford, &c. 
theatre, his watch was invariably placed 
upon the table; and he was never known, 
during the whole course of his engagement 
at Covent Garden, to disappoint the pub- 
lic but once, and that was from the cir- 
cumstance of the accouchement of his wife. 
His apology to the audience on that occa- 
sion will be generally remembered. He 
has leftan amiable wife, and seven young 
children, for whose future support it is 
feared he has not made the most slender 
provision. Mr. Emery has, however, 
always been a decided favourite, profes- 
sionally, as well as with those who knew 
him; and therefore it is hoped, shonld the 
case require it, his friends and the public, 
to whose amusement ‘he has upwards of 
twenty-three years so largely contributed, 
will come forward to render their assist- 
ance.” In-the death of Mr. Emery the 
stage and the public have suffered a severe 
loss; his family a most.indulgent father, 
and his friends and associates a warm- 
hearted, generous, and intelligent com- 
panion. 
In Lambeth-road, Mr. Brooshooft, thirty- 
two years Clerk of the Papers, and 
Deputy Marshal of the King’s Bench 
prison. Mr. B. had been spending his 
evening at the Britannia Tavern, opposite 
the prison, and about half an hour had re- 
turned home and retired to bed; he snd- 
denly jumped up, and, putting his hand on 
his head, exclaimed, ‘‘ Good God, what's 
that?” He gradually got worse, and 
about two hours afterwards, expired. 
His head was opened, when a vessel ap- 
peared to have been ruptured, and thins 
produced apoplexy. Mr. B. was highly 
esteemed by all his friends and ac- 
guaintance. : 
In Cavendish-square, Horatio Walpole 
Earl of Orford.. He was descended from 
Horace Walpole, (the brother of the cele- 
brated Sir Robert Walpole,) who, in 1757, 
was created Baron Walpole of Woolterton. 
The late lord was born in 1761, his father, 
the second Lord Walpole, having married 
Raehael, daughter of William Duke of 
Devenshire. He married, 1785, a Miss 
Churehill, daughter of Charles Churchill, 
by whom he has children. © His lordship, 
before his*father’s death, sat several par- 
liaments for Lynn in Norfolk, a borough 
which Sir Robert Walpole represented, 
and which has since shewn a strong at- 
tachment ‘to the Walpole family. While 
in the Honse of Commons, the then 
Colonel Walpole voted very steadily with 
the opposition, — On his father’s death he 
was introduced, and took his seat in- the 
House of Lords,-and there seems to have 
changed his political conduct. The earl- 
dom of Orford bestowed on Sir Robert 
Walpole, in 17 tz, heeoming extinct by the 
death of. Horace Walpole, Earl of Orford, 
in 1796, Lovd Walpole became desirous to 
obtain that title which, in 1806, was be- 
3 
[Aug. I, 
stowed on him. He has since voted with 
administration, and has been further re- 
compensed by his son, Lord Walpole, 
being nominated to two or three diplo- 
matie stations. Dir 
At his house, in Manchester-square, the ’ 
most noble Francis Seymour Conway, Mar- 
quis of Hertford. He was bornin 1748, 
and was educated, first at Eton, and then 
at Oxford; his title, at that period, was 
Lord Beauchamp. In the year 1769 he 
was returned m.P. for Lestwithiel, and 
next year for the family borough, Orford, 
in Suffolk, for which place he continued to 
sit until he was called up to the House of 
Peers. About the above period he was 
introdeced into the privy council of Ire- 
land. In {1773 he was appointed, by his 
father, colonel of the Warwickshire mili- 
tia, and he soon after married one of the 
coheiresses of the late Lord Windsor, who 
died without leaving him any children, 
He then married Isabella Anne, eldest 
daughter of the late Viscount Irwin, by 
whom he acquired a large fortune, and by 
whom also he had an only son, the present 
Earl of Yarmouth, His lordship, for some 
time, voted with the opposition; but, in 
1776, being offered a seat at the treasury- 
board, he accepted it, and joined Lord 
North’s ministry. While in this sitnation 
he introduced a bill for the relief of insol- 
vent debtors, which is commonly called 
Lord Beauchamp’s Bill. The same year 
he was appointed cofferer of the king’s 
honsehold, which place he held until Lord 
North was compelled to resign. In 1760 
he, with Lord North, formed part of the 
ill-advised coalition, With that party he 
appears to have acted for sometime. His 
father having been, in 1793, created a 
marquis, his lordship assumed the title of 
Earl of Yarmouth. Under this title he was 
sent by Mr. Pitt on a mission to the 
northern powers, where he did not remain 
long; and on his return, by the death of 
his father, he became Marquis of Hert- 
ford, took his seat in the House of Peers, 
and was appointed: lord: lieutenant and 
custos rotulorum of the county of War- 
wick, Soon after this, the marquis and 
all his family omitted the name of Conway 
in their signatures, and retained that of 
Seymour only. {n 1806 he was appointed 
master of the horse to the king; and, on 
the death of Lord Dartmouth, he sue- 
ceeded him as lord chamberlain. He was 
alsox.G. His lordship was aman of mild 
manners, and the most pleasing address. 
His fortune was princely, which he spent 
in a splendid manner. He was some time 
lord chamberlain to the king, whieh old 
age and infirmities obliged him to resign, 
His lordship passed a long life, not de- 
void of ambition, knowledge of business, or 
power of talent.. He was an accomplished 
gentleman, of considerably literary at- 
tainmeuts, and had long been a patron and 
promoter
