CHRONICLE. 



489 



■weeks, the princess Maria, daugh- 

 ter of the hereditary prince of Den- 

 mark. 



At his house in Palace yard, 

 Gloucester, aged 78, John Pitt, 

 esq. M. P. for that city. He was 

 originally an attorney, and has died 

 possessed of considerable property, 

 which devolves to his daughter. He 

 was an eccentric charadter, but a 

 man of great homely benevolence. 



In liew Norfolk-street, Gros- 

 venor-square, the countess of An- 

 cram. 



15th. Suddenly, Mrs. Douglas, 

 of Marsham-streot, Westminster, 

 mother of rear-admiral Douglas. 



17th. On his return to join the 

 Chatham division of royal marines, 

 at Taunton, co. Somerset, colonel 

 TroTlope, of that corps ; in whom 

 tlie service has lost an a6live, brave 

 officer, and an excellent disciplina- 

 rian. He was the brother of the 

 gallant sir Henry Trollope, who 

 beat off six French frigates, in the 

 Glatton, of 50 guns, during the last 

 war. Col. T. at the time when the 

 spirit of mutiny caused such a com- 

 motion in our fleets, behaved with 

 most manly courage and admirable 

 presence of mind. When the tlame 

 was about to burst out in (he ship 

 he was on board of, as commanding 

 officer of the marines, he went singly 

 into the midst of the mutineers, 

 seized the two ringleaders by the 

 collar, and had tliem put in irons 

 before the eyes of their companions. 



18th. Suddenly, at Dublin, the 

 rev. Dr. Travers Hume, redtor of 

 Ardec and Glassnevin, eldest son of 

 surgeon Hume, of Dublin, and bro- 

 ther of Dr. Hume, of Lower Gros- 

 venor-street, London. He appear- 

 ed in excellent health and good spi- 

 rits at dinner. Mrs. Hume, Miss 

 Heme, a visitoF, and the gtiverncss 



and children, had not retired many 

 mniutes to the drawing-room, when 

 Miss Georgina Hume, his second 

 daughter, returned to the dining- 

 room, and, on opening the door, 

 found her fatfter extended on the 

 floor. Her shrieks alarmed the rest 

 of the family, who flew to the spot. 

 Mrs. Hume threw herself upon the 

 floor, and endeavoured to raise him, 

 but to no purpose. Mr. Watts, an 

 eminent apothecary, immediately 

 attended, and opened a vien, which 

 bled freely ; but Mr. Watts pro- 

 nounced that life was irrecoverably 

 gone. Meantime, surgeons Harti- 

 gan and M'Evoy attended, and con- 

 firmed his opinion. He has left ninii 

 children by his wife, now a discon- 

 solate widow, the niece to earl Ma- 

 cartney. Within a few months he 

 has lost two sons, both excellent men, 

 and an amiable daughter-in-law. He 

 was a most amiable and respectable 

 man, and would probably have soon 

 attained the highest degree in his 

 profession. It is impossible to de- 

 scribe the deep and universal sen- 

 sation which this sudden and melan- 

 choly event has produced in Dub- 

 lin, and how sincerely the public 

 mind sympathises with the truly 

 worthy and venerable father of the 

 deceased. 



Unfortunately killed by a cannon- 

 ball, at the moment he was encou. 

 raging his men, and ordering them 

 to cheer, lieut. James Marshall, 

 commanding the Watchful gun-brig, 

 off the coast of Boulogne. The shot 

 entered his right side, just above the 

 hip-bone, carrying away his bowel.'i 

 and some of the Fower ribs. He just 

 exclaimed " O my God!" and foil 

 lifeless on the deck. He was a very 

 large, tall man ; a brave and merito- 

 rious officer ; had been 23 years a 

 lieutenant, and engaged in numerous
