This is a convincing proof of the furprifing 
increafe of trade and manufactures in that 
part of the united kingdom; for it is ftated 
asta faét, that in the year 1728, the London

M. A. and fon of Charles Lucas, efq. former-

‘The fate of this unhappy man may ferve.as a 
melancholy warning to thofe whe put their 
tru(ft in popuiar attefion: Had Dr. Lucas, 
who was a man of fterling ability, applied * 
himfelf to the ative purfuit of his profefiion, 
he might have raifed an ample fortune to his 
family ; but he became the leader of a party 
in politics, and left that family to perifh. It - 
is too true that the unhappy gentleman, whofe’ 
death we now record, has for many years 
been fuftained chiefly by thofe who had been 
hoftite to kis father’s politics, and that half’ 
the fum which is at this moment wantonly 
waited in decorations of the ftatue of Dr. Lu- 
cas, at the Royal Exchange, Dublin, would 
have faved his ion from perifhing from want.

DEATHS ABROAD, 
On his paflage home from Trinidad, for 
the recovery of his health, Captain George 
Lewis, of the corps of Royal Engineers, aged 
32. Having been ill for fome months paft, 
with the diforder of the climate, a Medical 
Board was held, which advifed an immediate 
return to England as the only hope of his re- 
covery. He embarked .on board the Lord 
Nelfon, Captain Hayes, the ninth of March 
lait. For the firft week he appeared better, 
ftruggling againft his diforder with fortitude, 
in the hope of meeting his children and fami- 
ly; but afterwards grew worfe; and at 
length expired, on the 29th day following. 
He was the eldett furviving fon of the late 
Colonel George Lewis, of the royal regiment 
of artillery, who fo eminently diftinguifhed 
himfelf for his a&tivity and fervices during 
the fiege of Gibraltar, when the artillery 
under his command deftroyed the combined 
floating batteries of France and Spain, on the 
memorable thirteenth of September, 1782. 
He married Jane, fecond dawghter of the 
late William Deacon, efq. of Fortfmouth ; 
fhe died at the Cape of Good Hope, on the 
third of April, 1797, by whom he has left 
two infant fons. Every excellent quality of | 
the heart, a liberal and cultivated mind; 
Joined tothe moft benevolent and focial dif- 
pofition, fhone moft confpicuoufly in him, 
His now orphan children have te lament the 
tendereft of fathers, his affiG@ed mother and 
family fuftain an irreparable lofs in the bef 
of fons and brothers; and thofe endearing 
jalities which procured him through life 
the efteem and regard of all who knew him, 
now contribute to excite a general forrow for 
his premature death.
