In Park-street, Grosvenor-tquare, Luke 

 White, esq. M.p.for the county of Leitrira. 

 Mr. White was originally a Ijookscller of 

 Dublin, but, being a man of enlarged 

 mind and speculative character, he con- 

 tracted for lotteries and loans, at-quired a 

 large fortune, and became a man of in- 

 fluence in and out of Parliament, in 

 which he has enjoyed a seat during many 

 sessions.

At Snced-park, near Bristol, George 

 Webbe Hall, esq. late secretary to the 

 Board of Agriculture, and chairman to the 

 committee of the Agricultural Associa- 

 tions of Great Britain, who assembled at 

 Henderson's Hotel, during several of the 

 late sessions of Parliament, to seek relief 

 for the agricultural interest. Mr. Hall 

 ■was a man of energetic and original cha- 

 racter, and, on subjects of polity connect- 

 ed with agriculture, one of the best-in- 

 formed men of his age. He wrote several 

 public addresses in conformity to the in- 

 terests of the body with which he was 

 connected, but cxhibitiiis doctrines at va- 

 riance with other theories; he drew on 

 himself in consequence the severe ani- 

 madversion of many public writers. The 

 fact is not duly considered — that war and 

 taxes have deranged the proper social 

 rclatiomi; consequently no practical plans, 

 which endeavour to reconcile pidjlic in- 

 terests with our actual condition, can be 

 free from manifc st objections. 



In Queen-square, R. C, Cresswall, esq. 

 of Doctors' Couunons, proctor, aud one of

very early turned her attention to literary 

 pursuits. Her first production was " the 

 Chapter of Accidents,'' a comedy, which 

 came out in 1780, and was received with 

 general applause. She next published 

 " the Recess," 3 vols, in 1782 and 1785; 

 this continues to be a popular novel. In 

 1787 she produced " the Hermit's Tale," 

 a poem; in 1796 followed "Almeyda, 

 Queen of Granada," a tragedy ; afterwards 

 " the Life of a Lover, in a Series of Letters," 

 6 vols, 12mo. ; and in 1810, " Orniond, or 

 the Debauchee,'' a novel, 3 vols. In all the 

 social relations, Mrs. Lee exhibited the 

 kindest dispositions, and was universally 

 esteemed ; and her death has occasioned a 

 vacuum of taste, good sense, and for- 

 bearance, which cannot easily be sup- 

 plied.

 sional speeches displayed considerable ta- 

 lent and that rare quality, good sense. He 

 honourably adhered to his principles ; and 

 when Mr. Canning, his uncle, came into 

 power, the marquis wrote to his consti- 

 tuents, assuring them that, " though his un- 

 cle had come into power, he (the marquis) 

 should not change his principles." He had 

 an excellent character, and was much 

 esteemed by all who knew him.

 credit ; and, having become a member of 

 the College of Surgeons, commenced, in 

 June 1819, at the early age of 22, a Course 

 of Lectures on Anatomy and Physiology,

 pelled to quit a spacious apartment, 

 fitted up for demonstrations, he erected, 

 in 1821, a commodious Theatre near Guy's 

 Hospital, with every convenience neces-
