the applause of men, but consulting only the 
spotless rectitude of his own mind, would 
carry us far beyond our present limits, even 
If it were possible. His true y,alue is best 
estimated by the general gloom which his 
death has cast over the profession and his 
country. 
IRELANn. 
At Tauloght, near Tralee, aged 103, Lu¬ 
cius Bolton, esq. For the last six years he 
liever slept on a bed, but in an arm-chair, 
from which he seldom allowed himself to be 
removed. He retained his faculties till 
within a few hours of his death. 
DEATHS ABROAD. 
At Penang, Governor Bruce. 
At Gibraltar, Captain Price Tribe, 82. 
At Tobago, Sir William Young, bart. 
governor of the Leeward Islands, author of 
a statistical account of the West Indies, of 
the History of Athens, &:c. &c. but a man 
of greater energy than suavity of charac¬ 
ter. He was the son of the late Sir William 
Young, lieutenant-governor of Dominica, 
who died in the West Indies in 1788, and 
was grandson of Dr. Brook Taylor, secre¬ 
tary to the Royal Society, &c. Sir William 
cultivated letters, travelled into France and 
Italy, and published several interesting 
works. In 1777 appeared, 1. d he Spirit 
of Athens, in 1 vo!. 8vo. 2. After nine 
years study and revision, he enlarged and 
republished the same work under a new 
title, that of the History of Athens, Po¬ 
litical and Philosophical, considered. 3. In 
1788 appeared a pamphlet on Mr. Gilbert’s 
projected Amendment of the Poor Laws, 
since which he priated in succession the 
following pamphlets: 4. The Rights of 
Englishmen} 5. A Letter to Mr. Pitt on 
the Subject of Poor and Workhouses} 6. 
A Speech on the Slave Trade, delivered in 
the House of Commons, in 1791} and 7.. 
A Life of his respectable Progenitor, Dr. 
Brook Taylor, prefixed to his Contemplatio 
Pflilosophica. He is also author of several 
pieces of fugitive poetry, .as well as , the 
Common Place Book, shewing the state of 
the sugar colonies. Sir William was born 
in 1742, and has been twice married. He 
was first elected in 1784, for Sr. Mawes, a 
borough in Cornwall, where the Grenvilles, 
to whom he was. related, possess great in¬ 
fluence, and he lately sat for Buckingham, 
where they are also preponderant. In 1790 
he declared himself in favour of the con¬ 
vention with Spain, relative to Nootka 
Sound. In 1791 he suggested an amend¬ 
ment ia the Sierra Leone bill. In 1797, 
when Mr. Grey agitated the question of re¬ 
form, he expressed himself an enemy to 
every plan he had heard of, for the altera¬ 
tion ot the form of representation. In 1799 
Sir William defended the conduct of the 
committee that had* inquired into the state 
Cold-bath-field« prison, and vindicated 
the character of Dr, Gla^sc J but he allow* 
ed that the governor had been blamable in 
borrowing money from soine of the prison¬ 
ers, and gave it as his opinion that he ought 
to have been dismissed. In 1800 he took 
an active part in favour of the Union with 
I'eland } and in 1802 he disapproved of se¬ 
veral parts of the defensive treatv witli 
France, particularly the introduction of a 
new lattgue into Malta, '‘where he could 
state, from personal knowledge-, that there 
were not above five merchants in the whole 
island; the rest were composed of gold- 
finers, and other labourers, wlio mostly 
spoke the Arab language, with some mix¬ 
ture of all languages.” He then inquired 
if these people were fit to mix with an 
order of ancient nobility.” After this he 
adverted to the cession of Louisiana, and 
supported the motion of an address to his 
Majesty proposed by his colleague, Mr. 
Windham, for arranging, by immediate 
and amicable discussion, those points of 
essential interest which had been adjusted 
by former treaties, but for which no pro¬ 
vision had been made in the iate negotia¬ 
tion. On the motion of Colonel Patten 
for censuring ministers, (June 3, 1803,) he 
coincided in the sentiments which had been 
evinced on all sides of the House, touching 
the aggremonary and hostile spirit of the 
French government, marked towards this 
country, in every quarter of the globe, from 
the treaty of Arniens to the present hour}” 
he however seemed to blame tlte ministers 
of that day, for not having entered into 
any commercial arrangements subsequently 
to the late treaty of peace. When the de¬ 
fence of the nation soon after (June 20) be¬ 
came a subject of discussion, he appioved 
of the resolution of the chancellor of the 
exchequer, in respect to further prepara¬ 
tions, end expressed a hope, “ that if the 
French army should be rash enough to visit 
this country, they would find a people every 
where ready to fly to their bayonets, and 
to resist them with equal courage and skill. 
In March, 1801, he objected, in very w.inn 
terms, to the extent to which the volun¬ 
teer system had been earned, and proposed 
some regulations. When that subject vyas 
agitated, he supported the Aylesbury elec¬ 
tion bill, on the principle of the Grenviile 
acts. Soon after this (April 23, 1804,) 
he voted in favour of Mr. Fox’s proposilioa 
for the appointment of a committee to in¬ 
quire into the measures adopted for the pur¬ 
poses of national defence} and on Mr. Ad¬ 
dington’s retreat in the course of that s«m- 
mer, he divided with a minority of 181 to 
211, in opposition to Mr. Pitt’s “ additional 
force bill.” In February 1805, when Mr. 
Wilberforce gave notice of his intentions 
to bring in a bill for the abolition of the 
slave trade within a time limited, he de¬ 
clared his intention to oppose, . in every 
stage of it, '• a measure, tlie very agitatioa 
of which would be produciWe ot irrepava^
