the Female Penitentiary,” 8vo. 1809.— 
*« Strictures on Mr, Hale’s Reply to the 
above,” 1809; and some small publications 
since. Mr. Blair, once or twice, at- 
tempted lectures; as popular lectures on 
anatomy, lectures to the volunteers, &c. 
bat they were but slenderly attended. 
Mr. Blair had been married, but lost his 
wife about two years ago, and has left no 
children. 
The Right Hon. Charles, Bennet, earl of 
Taukerville, in the 60th year of his age. 
This noble lord was born in the year 1743, 
anil bore the title of Lord Ossuiten until 
the year 1767; when, by the death of his 
father, he succeeded to the title and 
estate. In 1771 he married Emma, 
daughter and coheiress of the late Sir 
James Colebrooke, with whom he had a 
good fortune. His lordship, in political 
fife, has usually acted with the Whigs; 
and, for a short time, enjoyed the place of 
postmaster-general, By his lady he has 
several children; the eldest son, Lord 
Ossulton, succeeds him. His second son 
is the Hon. Henry Grey Bennet, m.p. for 
Shrewsbury, whose exertions in Parlia- 
ment are well known. 
Suddenly, after retiring to bed, 85, 
Samucl Thorpe, esq. a merchant, who for 
nearly half a century maintained a con- 
siderable influence in the politics of the 
corporation of London. Refusing the 
office himself, he procured the return of 
H. C. Coombe, to be alderman of the ward 
of Aldgate, which he represented in the 
Common Council, ant contented himself 
with performing the local duties as deputy. 
He was also a zealons member of the 
Whig Club, and on al! occasions supported 
that interest in the city. His increasing 
infirmities induced him a few years ago to 
retire from the Common Council, but he 
has sinee lad the satisfaction to see his 
son represent the city in parliament, and 
fill the civic chair with much credit. In 
his latter days he enjoyed all the happy 
results of a virtuous character and well- 
spent life in the society of a prosperous 
family, and in the affections of his neigh- 
bours and fellow citizens. 
At York-house, Bath, 51, M. Zea, the 
Columbian ambassador. He was a native 
of the province of Antioquia, in New 
Granada, now part of the Republic of 
Coiumbia. Great part of lis life had been 
spent in Europe. Under the former go- 
vernment of Spain, and previous to the 
vevolution breaking out in South America, 
he held at different times several offices 
under the Spanish government. The re- 
volation in his’ own country drew him to 
the side of Bolivar, whose constant com- 
panion and assistantin the great work of 
Jiverating his conntry he was for many 
years, until his mission to Europe in 1820, 
At the time of his quitting Columbia, Le 
Deaths in and near London. 
565 
was vice-president of the Republic, and he 
had the satisfaction, before taking his 
departure, of presenting to the congress 
the project of the Constitution of his 
country, which was afterwards adopted in 
all its leading particulars. M. Zea was a 
man of considerable talents and of scien- 
tific and literary attainments. 
Lately, in Exmouthli-street, Clerkenwell, 
80, Richard Earlom, esq. This distinguish- 
ed artist was the son of Mr.. Richard 
Earlom, who for many years, and till his 
death, held the respectable situation of 
vestiy-clerk of the pavish of St. Sepulchre, 
in the city of London. Mr. Earlom’s resi- 
dence was in Cow-lane, Smithfield, and a 
portion of the premises which he held 
were occupied by an eminent coachmaker, 
to whom the state-coach of the Lord 
Mayor was occasionally taken to be re- 
pairedand cleaned. ‘The allegorical paint- 
ings which decorate that splendid vehicle 
powerfully attracted the attention of 
young Earlom, who at length attempted 
to draw copies of several subjects repre- 
sented on the pannels. He so far suc- 
ceeded, as to induce his father to place 
him under the tuition of Cipriani. Here 
Mr. Earlom acquired a mastery in the 
arts of design, and soon after became 
known to the late Alderman Boydell, who 
in 1765 entertained so liigh an opinion of 
the abilities of our young artist, that he 
engaged him to make drawings from the 
celebrated collection of pictures at Hough- 
tcn, most of which, also, were afterwards 
beautifully engraved by him in mezzotinto. 
In this branch of art Mr. Earlom had been 
his own instructor, and he introduced into 
the practice of it improvements and im- 
plements before unknown. An oval print, 
called ‘*Love in Bondage,” after Guido 
Reni, was the first print he engraved, and 
this was published by Mr. Boydell in 1767. 
Mr, Eariom’s fruit and flower pieces, after 
Van Huysum, have established his fame as 
the first in his line. In history, “ Agrip- 
pina,” from the grand picture of Mr, 
West, requires only to be noticed. Among 
his fine works were the prints of the 
“Cock-match at Lucknow,” the “ Embassy 
of Hyderbeck to meet Lord Cornwallis,” 
and the “ Tiger-hunt in the East Indies,” 
all from the pencil of Zoffanij. Mr. Earlom’s 
first and second part of the “ Liber Veri- 
tatis,” after drawings by Clande, are beau- 
tiful as to scenery and effect. Mr, Earlom 
has directed by bis will that his prints, 
drawings, and mathematical instruments, 
shall be sold by public auction.
