He died at the age of seventy-five ; and fs 
succeeded in his title and estate by his 
son, the Hon. Charles Anderson Pelliam, 
of Appledurcombe, in the Isle of Wight; 
that gentleman having succeeded to that 
estate as heir at law to the late’ Sir 
Richard Worsley. Mr. Pelham, in the 
House of Commons, has steadily voted 
with opposition. Lord Yarborough was 
LL.D. F.R.S. and F.A.s. Being succeeded 
in the peerage by his son, the Hon. C. A. 
Pelham, a vacancy is occasioned in the re- 
presentation for Lincolnshire. 
At his seat at Barrogil Castle, near 
Thurso, James Sinclair, Earl of Caithness. 
His lordship was descended from William, 
second Earl of Caithness, the first branch 
of which family held the title from 1456 to 
1789, when, that branch failing, it de- 
scended to the second branch, in the per- 
son of James, the twelfth earl. He lived 
mostly at his estate in Scotland, and at 
his death was lord-lientenant of the county 
of Caithness, and post-master general for 
Scotland. His lordship was Jong in a 
declining state of health. 
Mrs. Richardson, widow of the late 
Joseph Richardson, esq. a barrister at 
Jaw, and many years member of parilia. 
ment for one of the Duke of Northum- 
berland’s boroughs, in Cornwall. That 
gentleman had originally a small fortune, 
and that he lost in the unfortunate ad- 
venture with Mr. Sheridan, in Drury- 
lane Theatre. Richardson died in 1800, 
leaving this lady a widow, with a young 
family, and in very distressed circum- 
stances. Her husband’s friend assisted 
her by procuring a subscription for the 
publication of the Fugitive, a comedy; 
and some poems, written by him, which 
relieved her in some degree. She also, in 
1808, published a volume of elegant 
poems of her own composition, and an 
abridgment of the Bible, in verse, for 
the use of young persons. As she has, 
as might be expected, not left any pro- 
perty to bring up her children, her friends 
are now endeavouring to raise a subscrip- 
tion for their support, in which we sin- 
cerely wish them success. 
In Ireland, Charles O’ Luuglan, esq. com- 
monly called the Prince of Burrin. ‘This 
man was little, if at all, known in England, 
and probably not much more in Ireland, 
but we give this notice of him as one of 
those singular beings with which Ireland 
abounds. They are, or pretend to be, the 
descendants of an ancient aristocracy, and 
look for homage from all ranks on that 
account. This man was remarkably con- 
descending, and, as far as his property 
would permit him, charitable to the lower 
class of his neighbours, but as proud and 
unbending to those in his neighbourhood 
who were his equals in rank and fortune. 
As he has no son, he is succeeded by a

collateral relation, who will, undonbtedly, 
assume the title of Prince of Burrin. 
At his seat at Ashridge, in Buckingham- 
shire, John William Egerton, Earl of Bridg- 
water, This noble lord was the son of 
John, Lord Bishop of Durham, by Anne 
Sophia, danghter of the Duke of Kent. 
He was born August 29, 1749 ; and, being 
bred to the army; in the year 1783 he was 
major of the 20th regt. of dragoons, and 
that year married a daughter of Samuel 
Haynes, esq. by whom he had no children ; 
he has never been on active service as a 
soldier abroad, but has been on the staff 
both in England and Ireland, and has risen 
to the rank of general, his commission 
bearing date in1812. Before hisaccession 
to the peerage, he sat many years in par- 
liament for the borough of Brockley, and 
voted invariably with administration. On 
the death of Francis, the last Duke of 
Bridgwater, the title of duke became ex- 
tinct; but the earldom of Bridgwater, and 
the title of Viscount Brockley, fell to this 
gentleman, Lord Bridgwater was, when 
he died, colonel of the 14th dragoons, 
steward for the Duchy of Cornwall to the 
estates of that duchy in Hertfordshire, 
and master of Grothan Hospital, Durham, 
also F.R.8. On the death of the late Duke 
of Bridgwater, he succeeded to the Buck- 
inghamshire estates, and the patronage of 
the borough of Brockley, and a large for- 
tune. He is said to have been the largest 
holder of Bank-stock of any man in Eng~- 
land. His lordship was much of an econo- 
mist, and has been able to expend a very 
large sum in rebuilding the family-seat of 
Ashridge, now one of the most splendid 
mansions in England. Lord Bridgwater has 
been long ill. By staying out too long on 
a shooting-party with the Duke of York, 
one of his feet was so much affected by 
the frost, that, at one time it was feared 
amputation would be necessary, and he 
actually lost some of his toes. He was a 
man of a quiet domestic turn, and much 
esteemed in the circle of his acquaintance, 
He gave extensive employment to the in- 
dustrions poor. i 4 
Suddenly, in a fit, at the house of his 
brother, Dr. Wollaston, the Rev. Francis 
John Hyde Wollaston, B.v. vicar of South 
Weald, and rector of Cold Norton, also 
Archdeacon of Essex. Mr. Wollaston 
came to town a few days ago, and the 
night before his decease appeared in full 
health ; but, in the morning, he was found 
dead in his bed. This sudden death caused 
a coroner's jury to be called, when it 
clearly appeared in evidence that he died 
of an apoplexy. J 
Lately, at his seat at Willersly-hall, in 
the county of Derby, Sir Charles Hustings,
