vived his lady only three days, and 
a very intimate female acquaintance 
of Mrs. G, By his will, his younger 
brother, a clergyman in Bristol, he- 
comes entitled to all his fortune, ex- 
cepting a legacy to the late Mrs. 
G.’s relations. 
21st. At his house at Twicken- 
ham, Middlesex, lord Frederick 
Cayendish, uncle to the duke of De- 
yonshire and lord G, H. Cavendish, 
He was a man of a strong mind and 
amiable manners; and _ enjoyed, 
many years before his death, the 
honour of being a field-marshal of 
his majesty’s forces. He was, born 
in August, 1729, and died in the 
7Ath year of his age. . He was im- 
mensely -rich ; and the bulk of his 
fortune is left to lord G. H, Ca- 
yendish, his nephew, to whom he 
Was much attached, and had for 
several years past received, with the 
rest of his family, into his good 
graces; and always promised, when 
alive, that lady G. H. Cavendish 
and her family, from her amiable 
disposition, should share the bulk 
of his fortune. Twickenham man- 
sion and park, his favourite resi- 
dence, devolve to sir Wm. Abdy. 
His remains were interred in the 
family-vault in Derbyshire. 
The eldest daughter of Mr. W. 
Tripp, grocer, at Bleadon, co. So- 
merset, had her clothes unfortu- 
nately set on fire, and was so dread- 
fully burnt, that she died on the 
spot in the greatest agony. Her 
cousin, Mr. W. Tripp, aged about 
20, was so deeply affected by the 
melancholy event, as to be immedi- 
ately seized with a most violent pa- 
roxism of phrenzy, under the sad 
influence of which he destroyed 
himself. 
24th. Of a fever, at Blatching- 
ton-park, the seat of Arthur Annes- 
523 
ley, esq. in his 22d year, Mr. Dash- 
wood, eldest son of sir Henry Wat- 
kins, D. bart. of Kirtlington-park, 
in Oxfordshire. 
26th. Athis seat, Trentham-hall, 
co. Stafford, in his 68th year, Gran- 
ville Leveson Gower, marquis of 
Stafford, earl Gower, viscount Tren- 
tham, baron Gower, and K. G:, He 
is succeeded by earl Gower, his eld- 
est son, who was married, 1785, to 
the countess of Sutherland, now 
marchioness of Stafford. The late 
marquis was born Aug. 4, 1721; 
first married, in 1744, to Elizabeth, 
daughter of Nicholas Fazakerley, 
esq. ; secondly, Mar. 28, 1748, to 
Louisa Kgerton, daughter of Scrope 
duke of Bridgewater. His lordship 
was allied to many of the principal 
families in Great Britain, and for- 
merly held some high situations of 
honour and trust in his majesty’s 
seryice.. In private life, he was 
universally admired for his virtues, 
and his loss will be very generally 
regretted. He was the last of the 
political knot, which, about forty 
years ago, were denominated the 
Bloomsbury gang, from their leader, 
the old duke of Bedford. It con- 
sisted of the duke of Bedford, lord 
Weymouth, Jate marquis of Bath, 
lord Sandwich, Mr. Rigby, and 
earl Gower, afterwards marquis of 
Stafford, powerfully abetted by the 
side-wind politics of the then earl 
Mansfield. They ruled his majesty’s 
councils for many years, sometimes 
with the sovereign’s choice, at others 
by taking the cabinet by storm. 
Junius came forth at the very mo- 
ment this phalanx began to divide, 
and, by his single hand, scattered 
them so that they were never 
able to rally. The present mar- 
quis of Stafford is, probably, the 
richest nobleman in England, having
