[ Further particulars relative to the late Rev. 
Dr. Fames Cheljum. His father belonged to 
the choir of Weitminfter-abbey, and has a 
monument ereéted to his memory in the weft 
cloifter. The fon was born before the year 
3740, and was on Bifhop Williams’s founda- 
tion at Weftminfter ichool (the prefent arch- 
bithop of York being then mafter), wearing 
a purple gown; an eleemofenary fort of edu- 
cation, but the more honourable to thofe 
charaéters who have arifen from it to, moral, 
political, or literary diftin€tion, i in lable 
purfuits. He was ufher in the {chaol for 
feveral years 5 his retirement is fuppofed to 
Ihave been about the year 1765 or 17663 be- 
ing then ufher of the fitth form. He was 
for many years afterwards refident at Chrift- 
church, Oxford, in the various ufeful public 
offices of tutor, cenfor, and proétor; and in 
the amiable private occupation of comfort- 
ing through pecuniary affiftance and perfonal 
attertion, a venerable mother, who placidly 
clofed a refpeGtable life at the age of ninety. 
Hence he was preferred to the college curacy . 
of Lathbury, near Newport Pagnel ; and to 
the benefice of Badger, in Shropfhire, by Ifaac 
Hawkins Brown, efg. His other and chief 
preferment was the re€tory of Droxford in 
Hants, given him by Bithop North, to°whom 
he was chaplain; where he refided much, 
and where he buried his excellent mother, to 
whofe memory he dedicated a good mezzo- 
tinte print, a ftrong likenefs in her advanced 
life, and liberally diftributed copies among 
his friends. He had, before her death, had 
a very unfavorable conftitution; his. fpirits 
‘being very unequal, which, after that event, 
obliged him to be configned to the care of a 
relation near London, with whont he refided, 
except during a fhort interval of unfutcefsful, 
though well-me 
death, 1801. He is buried at Droxford, 
where he merits a tribute to his memory. 
Ais to his focial charaéter, it is true he was 
not equally welcome im all.companies ; but 
allowance fhould be candidly made for per- 
fons of unequal fpirits. If he fometimes af- 
fumed a flight that might feem too gay for 
the dignified divine, yet he never difcovered 
any tinge of immorality ox ill-nature; if they , 
at wifes times took a tone that might feem 
unfociable, they fociably allowed the. proper 
gaiety of thofe, whom, alas! they could 
not join. During his bef flow of fpirits, 
he was in manners inftrudtive, entertaining, 
polite; in morals pure, charitable, pious. 
His rich learning is well known to many ; 
the written -proofs are in his Remarks on 
Z 
Account of Dr. Chiff — Mr. CaPticr.

Chapters. Being-a great amateur of the ele- 
gant arts, le made a valuable collection of 
prints and gems, efpecially Taffie’s Imita~ 
tions, to whom he was an early and-able pa- 
Ha he and who executed a medallion of him 
‘in white compofition, with a confiderable de- 
gree of refemblance. He latterly publifhed 
an ingenious {mall Eflay on the Hiftory of 
Mezzotinto. Dr, Chelfum’s travels with 
Archdeacon Gooch were ona friendly footing, 
fweetened by that mutual politenefs which _ 
reconciles different ages, for the Doétor was 
ten years older. This was about 1773. ,The 
Dottor was a. true obferver of theSabbath-= 
day, 
trade, 
but his nerves were unequal to the office. } 
[ The late. Fobn Cartier, cfg. formerly Govern= 
or of Bengal, whofe death we noticed in page 
192 of our laft Number, went to Bengal, asa 
writer in the fervice of the Eaft India Com- 
pany, in 1749 503 and, foon after his arri- 
val, was.appointed an Affiftant to the. factory 
Daccis ; where he refided until the expulfion 
of the Englifh from Calcutta, and the ret of 
and was a ftout.enemy to the Slaves ~ 
He was appointed Boyle Leéturer,. 
their fa€tories, by the Nabob Sujah Dowe 
lah, in 1756: he then joined the reft of his » 
countrymen at Fulta; to which place they 
had retired from all quarters, and remained, 
until the arrival of Admiral Watfon and Cow 
lonel Clive from, Madras, to revenge the un~ 
provoked aggreffion of the Nabob, and tore- 
inftate the Company in their fa€tories. At 
that period of diftrefs to the Biitift interefts 
in India, Mr. Cartier came forward as a vo= 
lunteer, with many of the civil fervants of . 
‘the Company, and the remaining European. . 
inhabitants of Calcutta. He was engaged, 
under. Coloftel Clive, at the battle of the, . 
Bungaloe, and at Hoogly alfo, which termi- 
nated in the defeat of the Nabob’ s army, and 
a temporary peace, by ‘which the Company 
recovered their former faGtories and poffei- 
fions. During the interval between this and 
the year'1767, Mr. Cartier fucceffively and 
honourably filled the different civil appoint- 
ments at Dacca, of which he became chief in 
1761, With the exception ef one vifit to 
Calcutta, in 1763, whither he was fummoned 
to attend a general council, his refidence at 
Dacca was uninterrupted. In 1767 he be- 
came fecond in the council of Calcutta; and 
in the beginning of 1770, on the departure of 
Mr. Verelft, took charge of the Bengal go- 
vernment oy the previous appointment of the 
Court of DireGtors. ‘In that high office he 
was fucceeded by Mr, Haftings, in April, 
1772; and returned to England in January 
following. The eulogium of the late Mr. 
Burke on Mr. Cartier’s condu&, during his 
fuperintendance at Bengal, was not the refule — 
of perfonal acquaintance, for never was there 
any connexion between them; nor from an 
invidious contraft between him and Mr. Haf- - 
but proceeded from a fenfe of his reak 
_ merits.
