At Hawthorn Hill, Berks, aged 90, 
Whitshed Keene, esq. of that place, and 
of Sackville-street, London, who sat in 
Parliament for the unprecedented space 
of half a century, and was father of the 
House of Commons for some years previous 
to his retirement at the general election ‘in 
1818. Mr. Keene was born in Ireland, 
and married Miss Eliz. Legge, daughter 
of George Viscount Leisham, and sister to 
William second Earl of Dartmouth, by 
whom he had several children.—In 1780 he 
was surveyor general of the Board of 
Works; and in 1782, was one of the Lords 
of the Admiralty.—In 1797, Mr. Keene 
made a motion relative to the number of 
prisoners and emigrants in Great Britain; 
and he soon after opposed Mr. Pitt’s bill 
for laying tax on inland navigation. In 
1802, after a prefatory speech, in which 
he distinguished between expediency and 
justice, he remarked on the innovations 
that had taken place in the East, respect- 
ing the ruling family in the Carnatic.—In 
April, 1804, he supported the “ Irish Mi- 
litia Volunteer offer Bill,’ as a measure 
calculated to promote the true ends of the 
Union, by bringing 10,000 of the Irish 
militia here, a measure which excited 
much public indignation. 
At Canwick, near Lincoln, Coningsby 
Waldo Sibthorp, esq. m.p. for the city of 
Lincoln, and Lieut.-Col. of the South Lin- 
coln Militias Colonel Sibthorp received 
his education at Westminster-school, of 
whiéh he always spoke with pride; and 
afterwards became a student of Corpus 
Christi College, Oxford, where his clas- 
sical taste and feeling were well known. 
Colonel Sibthorp represented the city of 
Lincoln in three successive Parliaments, 
and was an enthusiastic admirer of the 
principles of Mr. Pitt, and consequently 
gave his support to his and the present 
ministry. He was a true friend also to 
the doctrines and discipline of the Church 
of England, and those inroads which its 
pretended friends, but in reality its worst 
enemies, are nt pir making upon it, 
were always discountenanced by him, and 
met with his most decided disapprobation. 
As a kind brother, affectionate son, and a 
faithful friend, his loss will be lamented 
with the most poignant anguish; and, 
though cut off by a premature death in 
the prime of life, he has bequeathed to his 
friends the recollection of many virtues 
and excellencies to mitigate their sorrow. 
At Merchant Taylors’ School, 75, the 
Ree. Thomas Cherry, 8.p. vicar of Sellinge, 
Kent, and for twenty-four years the highly- 
respected Head-master of that distin- 
guished seat of learning. My. Cherry was 
himself educated at Merchant Taylors’ 
School, whence he was elected to St. 
Deaths in and near London. 
[May 1, 
John’s College, Oxford, in 1763; he took 
the degree of B.A. in 1767, of M.A, in 
1771, of B.D. in 1776, and was chosen 
Master of Maidstone School in 1777. Mr. 
Cherry was, at various periods of his life, 
Curate and Lecturer of St. Anne’s, Lime- 
house ; alternate Lecturer of Christ-church, 
Spitalfields; Vicar of Leckford, Hants ; 
Vicar of Loose, Kent ; Curate of St. Mary 
Abchurch, and St. Laurence Pountney, 
London; and in 1813 was Chaplain to 
George Scholey, esq. when Lord Mayer. 
Mr. Cherry resigned in 1819, and was 
succeeded by his son-in-law, the Rev. 
James-William Bellamy, B.D. the present 
Head-master. On his retirement he had 
the pleasing satisfaction of receiving from 
his grateful scholars a silver urn, inscribed 
with the following lines : “‘ Thomz Cherry, 
S.T. B. qui Schole Mercatorum Sciss. 
annos viginti quatuor felicissimé pre- 
fuit, Alumni superiorum ordinum hoc 
pietatis monumentum consecrayére A.D. 
MDCCCXIX.” 
At Crowsley-park, Oxfordshire, John 
Atkins Wright, esq. Chairman of the 
Quarter Sessions for that county, and Re- 
corder of Henley-upon-Thames, He was 
a native of Norfolk, and a son of the late 
Mr. Atkins, of Ketteringham, who pos- 
sessed a considerable landed estate in that 
county. In 1802 he was elected m.p, for 
the city of Oxford with Mr. Burton; and 
again served with that gentleman in 1806. 
This Parliament sat one session only. In 
1807 Mr. Wright declined the fatigue of a 
canvass, and retired from the contest; 
Mr, Lockhart was therefore elected with 
Mr. Burton without opposition, At the 
general election in 1812, the citizens of 
Oxford, as it were with one spirit, solicited 
Mr. Wright again to offer himself to re- 
present them in Parliament; they com- 
menced a spirited canvass, and received 
such assurances of success, that at the ge- 
neral election he was speedily placed at 
the head of the poll, and was returned by 
a triumphant majority: the contest was 
chiefly with Mr. Lockhart and Mr, Eden 
(now Lord Auckland); and the former 
was returned with Mr. Wright. In 1818 
he was again returned, with General St. 
John, which made the fourth time of his 
serving as M.pP. for Oxford.
