emplary conduct, as a divine and 

 a scholar. He prosecuted his clas- 

 sical duties under the late Rev. 

 Philip Moore, of Douglas; whose 

 indefatigable coadjutor he after- 

 wards became, in the important 

 work of revising, correcting, 

 transcribing, and preparing for the 

 press, the manuscript translation 

 of the Holy Scriptures into the 

 Manks language ; the impression 

 of which, comprising all the books 

 of the Old and New Testament, 

 with two of the Apocryphal books, 

 he also superintended at White- 

 haven, in the capacity of cor- 

 rector; to which, on the recom- 

 mendation of the last mentioned 

 gentleman, he was appointed by 

 the societyfor promoting Christian 

 Knowledge. Dr. Kelly also super- 

 intended an edition of the Book 

 of Common Prayer, and Bishop 

 Wilson's Treatise on the Sacra- 

 ment, all in the Manks language ; 

 and in the course of his labours in 

 this vineyard, he had transcribed 

 all the Books of the Old Testa- 

 ment three several times, before 

 he had attained his twenty-second 

 year! On the completion of this 

 charitable work, begun by the 

 venerable bishop Wilson, and pro- 

 moted by the active zeal of his 

 successor, bishop Hildesley, Mr. 

 Kelly was ordained, upon a title 

 from the episcopal congregation 

 at Air, where he resided, respect- 

 ed by all who knew him, until the 

 duke of Gordon engaged him to 

 be tutor to his son, the marquis of 

 Huntley, whose studies he super- 

 intended at Eton and Cambridge ; 

 and afterwards he accompan'ied 

 that young nobleman on the tour 

 of the continent. Soon after his 

 return, Mr. Kelly graduated at 

 Cambridge ; and again visited the 



continent, with two other of his 

 pupils. In the course of a few 

 months after his return, he was 

 presenled with the rectory of Arn- 

 leigh in Essex ; and afterwards to 

 that of Copford, in the same coun- 

 ty : the former of which he re- 

 signed some years since. From 

 the time that he entered into the 

 ministry, it might truly be said, 

 that he made the vocation of holi- 

 ness honourable. He has left 

 behind him a monument of his 

 erudition in the Celtic, in a Gram- 

 mar of the ancient Gaelic, or lan- 

 guage of the Isle of Man, which 

 was expected to be followed by a 

 much larger work, a Manks Dic- 

 tionary, which was Unfortunately 

 consumed in the fire at Messrs. 

 Nichols's. 



At Greatness, near Sevenoaks, 

 aged eighty-six, Peter Nouaille, 

 esq., the oldest member of his 

 majesty's court of lieutenancy in 

 the city of London. This gentle- 

 man's grandfather was descended 

 from an ancient family in France, 

 and came over to this country 

 from Nasmes, in Languedoc, at 

 the revocation of the edict of 

 Nantes, having sacrificed a consi- 

 derable property in that country, 

 in common with many others, who 

 upon that occasion, voluntarily 

 left France fur the sake of their 

 religious principles. Mr. N.'s 

 father resided at Hackney, and was 

 a merchant of considerable emi- 

 nence, in the Levant and Italian 

 trade. At the age of twenty-one, 

 Mr.N.having previouslybeen taken 

 into partnership with his father, set 

 out upon a tour through Europe, 

 with a view to establish correspon« 

 deuces, and to acquire general 

 knowledge; attheendof two years, 

 having travelled through France,
