Lately, in Portland-place, 77, Sir Na- 
thaniel Conant, after'a short illness occa- 
sioned by aniaccidental fall. Sir Nathaniel 
was educated at Canterbury-school, and 
sometime a bookseller.) In 1781, he was 
placed in the commission of the peace for 
Middlesex; and, in 1792, he first suggested 
the establishment of the new police, and 
proved himself highly instrumental in ef- 
fecting that design. On this occasion, he 
was appointed magistrate at Marlborough- 
street-office, where he continued till 1813, 
when he became chief magistrate of Bow- 
street, and was knighted. In 1820 he re- 
signed that situation, on account of his de- 
clining health, since which, he had lived re- 
tired from active life, but had recently 
been convicted of a conspiracy to deprive 
a publican of his licence.

At Streatham, the son of Mr. Bugby, 
“whose death was attended with the fol- 
lowing extraordinary circumstances :—A 
young man having hung himself, the 
boy was among the crowd of persons who 
went to the spot where the act was com- 
mitted;on his return home, his spirits 
were noticed to be unusually low. A short 
time after, on being missed by his playfel- 
lows, he was found hanging on the same 
tree whither he had been to witness the 
suicide on the same day. A coroner’s in- 
quest was held on the body, and a verdict 
returned—That the deceased had hung 
himself, not having arrived at the years of 
discretion.

In Dublin, the Right Hon. and Right 
Rev. Charles Broderick, archbishup of 
Cashel, bishop of Emly, and primate of 
Munster. He was brother to Viscount 
Middleton, and was advanced to the see 
of Clonfert in 1795; and next year was

procured him the favour of the late king. 
His first’ preferment of any importance 
was the archdeaconry of London. In 
1789 he was nominated to the see of Glou- 
cester, and in 1802 translated to that of 
Bath and Wells. | His lordship’s only pub- 
lication is a Fast-day Sermon preached 
before the House of Lords, in Westminster 
Abbey, April 19, 1792. 
In Hill-street, Berkeley-square, 68, the 
Right Honourable and Right Reverend Dr. 
Wm. Stewart, archbishop of Armagh, and 
primate of Ireland. He was the youngest 
_ son of Jolin Earl of Bute. Dr. Stewart was 
bred to the church, and entered early into 
holy orders, He was by his family interest 
collated to the living of Luton in Bedford- 
shire, where he continued many years, 
resided, and attended closely to the duties 
of his living, nor had he any other emolu- 
ment, except that of a canon of Windsor, 
although both his brother, the late Marquis 
of Bute, and he were in great favour with 
the king. However, on the translation of 
Dr. Horsley to the see of Rochester, Dr. 
Stewart succeeded him at St. David’s. 
He continued bishop of St. David's until 
the year 1800, when he accepted the arch- 
bishopric of Armagh. A residence in 
Ireland was far from being agreeable to 
him, yet he has given up mnch of his time 
to the duties of that see, and in that station 
acquired the esteem both of the clergy and 
laity of the bishopric. Dr. S. has not 
left behind him any work on literature, 
and it is said he never published a sermon. 
He interfered little in politics, but occa- 
sionally gave a vote on the popular side. 
He was a privy counsellor of Great Bri- 
tain, primate of the illustrious order of 
St. Patrick, and a trustee of the linen 
manufactory of Ireland. The death of his 
grace was occasioned by the following 
fatal mistake :—‘‘ His grace having taken 
some calomel which was inoperative, and 
occasioned much pain, a black or senna 
draught was prescribed for the purpose of 
giving immediate relief, |The prescription 
was sent to be prepared’ without delay, 
and as soon as it could be made up it was 
brought to the house, andia black draught 
was delivered into the bed-room. As no 
other draught was in thought or expecta- 
tion, and asa black draught was to be im- 
mediately taken, the draught, delivered as 
that prescribed, was immediately adminis- 
tered. It was scarcely swallowed, when 
it appeared that two phials had been deli- 
vered into tlie house from the apothecary’s 
at the same’ ‘moment, the one the pre- 
scribed medicine, the other a private order 
of a servant) to be used in an injection. 
The servant who received them at the door 
gave the medicine designed for the primate 
to his fellow-servant, and hastened eagerly 
up stairs with the other, a phial of lauda- 
num, omitting in his hurry to notice the 
fact of two phials having been received.”
