livres, in money, the third volume 

 of Saussure's "Voyage dans les 

 Alpes," and a letter which he had 

 began, in German, to his father, 

 dated Vevay, August 2, in which 

 he talks of being at home again in 

 three weeks, and says he travels on 

 foot with a friend. His body was 

 interred near the spot, and a stone 

 placed over it, with an inscription 

 calculated to caution future tra- 

 vellers who may chance to visit 

 those dangerous situations. 



9th. The right honourable Mary 

 countess Howe, widow of the late 

 earl Howe. She was daughter of 

 Cheverton Hartopp, of Welby, in

 ford, and sister of the fourth, and 

 great aunt of the present lord; and

Sept. General Russel Manners, 

 colonel of his majesty's 26th regi- 

 ment of light dragoons. 



In his 87th year, Albany V/allis, 

 esq. of Norfolk-street, in the Strand, 

 an eminent solicitor, in partnership 

 with Mr. Troward. He was a man 

 who, by the exertion of indefati- 

 gable industry and phlegmatic pru- 

 dence, acquired a very considerable 

 fortune in the law. His abilities 

 were of a very inferior kind ; but he 

 had learned the policy of SLlence,and, 

 therefore, it was generally conceiv- 

 ed, while he was so taciturn in 

 society, that "more was meant than 



met the ear." Upon the whole, it 

 may be said of Albany Wallis, that, 

 though he had necessarily many 

 acquaintances, his temper and cha- 

 racter were not likely to conciliate 

 many friends. — He has left his large 

 fortune, between 70 and 80,000/. 

 to lady Bailey, of Pall-mall, for life ; 

 and, after her death, to colonel Bai- 

 ley, her son, who has taken his 

 name. Mr. Wallis had several sis- 

 ters' children and other near rela- 

 tions in indigent circumstances, of 

 whom he has taken no other notice 

 than by giving 500/. to his heirs at 

 law. Lady Bailey, it is said, has 

 refused to act as an executrix under 

 the will of her late liberal friend ; 

 and Mr. Troward has likewise 

 declined the same act of represen- 

 tative dutv, being: a claimant on the 

 estate to the amount of 30,000/. 



Countess dowager of Darlington, 

 sister to the earl of Lonsdale. 



9th. In his 85th year, James 

 Hayes, esq. a bencher of the Mid-

 dowager lady Saltoun. 



l6lh. At Newmarket, in his 85th 

 year, W. Vernon, esq. the father 

 of the turf, and upwards of fifty 

 years distinguished as a sporting 

 man. He married lord Ossory's mo- 

 ther, by whom he had three daugh- 

 ters, viz. the present lady Warwick, 

 Mrs. Smith, and one unmarried. 

 He is believed to have first intro- 

 duced into England the forcing of 

 peach and other fruits on hot walls, 

 of which he had some capital ones 

 at Newmarket. 



Mary dowager lady Walsingham. 

 She was daughter of William Cow- 

 per, esq. of the Park, near Hert-
