495 



the death of his elder brother John, 

 without n^ale issue, his lordship suc- 

 eeeded to the barony of Desart, was 

 created a viscount in 1780, in 1785 

 an earl. He married in 1785, Anne, 

 eldest dau. to the late earl of Alta- 

 mont, and sister to the marquis of 

 Slieo, by whom he has one daugh- 

 ter and four sons. The present earl 

 was born Feb. 28, 1788: by his 

 lordship's death, and that of the 

 earl of Leitrim, two vacancies occur 

 in the Irish peers who sit in parlia- 

 ment. 



August 3d. At i\\e Black Rock, 

 near Dublin, sir Henry Cavendish, 

 bart. husband to lady Waterpark, 

 and father to the countess of Mount- 

 morris and lady Kilmaine. He is 

 succeeded in title and estates by his 

 eldest son Richard, married to Miss 

 Cooper. 



At Corn-liill, in his way to Edin- 

 burgh, in his 73d year, of the gout 

 in his stomach, the gallant admiral 

 lord viscount lluncan. 



At his son's house, at Segrave, 

 near Loughborough, aged 77, the 

 Rev. Uobert Ingram, jVI. A. virarof 

 Wormington and Boxted, co. Kssex, 

 formerly of Corpus Christi college, 

 Cambridge, of which he was some 

 time fellow; B. A. 1719; M. A. 

 17.53. Mr. I. was of the same fa- 

 mily which was ennobled, in 1G61, 

 by the title of Irwine. He was said 

 to be of an older branch, and near- 

 ly allied to the title ; and probably 

 was the only surviving male relative 

 in the Ingram line, as the title is now 

 extinct, or in abeyance. 



Much and most deservedly re- 

 •pected, John Reilly, esq. of Scar- 

 va, CO. DoNvn, in Ireland. He had 

 been many years an upright and rc- 

 speciable re))vesrntative iu parlia- 

 ment, and lirst commissioner for 

 public aceompts of that country. 



Abo.ut 5 o'clock this afternoon, 

 as Mr. and Mrs. Jones, and their child 

 about 15 months old, of Park-place, 

 Kennington-lane, were comingdown 

 the river in a boat with a sail, for 

 their amusement, tlie boat heaved 

 suddenly to one side, opposite So- 

 merset-house, and the child was 

 thrown from its mother's arms into 

 the river. The father plunged into 

 the river to save it, and, after much 

 exertion, handed it to Mrs. J. into 

 the boat, Avhcn, being exhausted, 

 he sunk and disappeared. MfS. 

 Trotter, wife of Mr. T. of the na- 

 vy-office, perceived the accident 

 from her window, and ordered that 

 every assistance should be given. — 

 Dr. Stanton, of the Strand, one of 

 the medical assistants of the Humane 

 Society, attended immediately, and 

 succeeded in restoring the child to 

 life. The body of Mr. Jones was not 

 found till Wednesday noon, the 8th, 

 Avhen it was taken up by two water- 

 men at London bridge, through 

 which it was seen to pass by a per- 

 son from the ballustrades. Mrs. 

 Jones is far advanced in pregnancy. 



6th. Aged 70, the Rev. Thomas 

 Twining, of Sidncy-coliege, Cam- 

 bridge ; B. A. 17G0, M. A. 1763 ; ' 

 rector of White Notlcy, Essex, in 

 private patronage, 1788, and of St. 

 Mary's, Colchester, to which he was 

 presented by the bishop of London, 

 on the death of Philip Morant, 1770. 

 Sound learning, polite literature, and 

 exquisite taste in ail the fine arts, 

 have lost an ornament and defender 

 in the death of this Scholar and wor- 

 thy Divine. His translation of the 

 " Poetics of Aristotle" must con- 

 vince men of learning of his know- 

 ledge of the Greek language, of the 

 wide extent of his classical erudi- 

 tion, of his acute and fair spirit of 

 erilicifiDi, and, above all, of his good 



taste
