1804.) 
Court, in Norrington, county of Kent, by 
Charlotte, daughter and coheir of William 
Eggerton, L. L. D. prebendary of Canterbury, 
&c. As, inher earlier days, fhe was remark- 
able for her vivacity, good humour, love of 
fociety, and other amiable qualities, fo fhe 
fupported an excruciating illnefs of more than 
fifteen years, during fourteen of which fhe 
was confined to her room and bed, with a 
patience, refignation, and fortitude, almoft 
without a parallel, Through this long and 
calamitous period of fufferings, when her dif- 
folution was almoft daily expeéted, and even 
to be defired by her beft friends, a peevith ex- 
preflion was never heard to efcape her. To 
the laft, fhe was alive to the happinefs of 
others; and the long expiring lamp of life, 
even in its fevereft ftruggles, never damped 
her benevolence towards her numerous rela- 
tions and acquaintance, who fuperintended 
with undiminifhed folicitude her uncommon 
trials. On fuch a charaéter, the luftre of de- 
{cent can throw but a faint additional light; 
yet, inthe fplendid origin of her mother, 
this lady might have. found an ample fource 
of worldly pride ; and it is certain that the 
Hammonds of St. Alban’s have been, for al- 
moft three centuries, honourable by their al- 
liances, refpetable for their rank, and even 
confecrated inthe temple of Britifh genius, by 
having produced in the Hammonds of Somer- 
Northumberland and Durham.

(Further particulars relative to the late F. 
Savage, efg. whofe death was mentioned in our laff. 
—He was anative of Bermuda, and bred a 
feaman, but while young fettled as a mer- 
‘chant in Charleftown, South Carolina, where, 
after many years of great induftry, he acquired 
a confiderable fortune. In the year 1775, 
from a defire to avoid witneffing the political 
ftruggle which was then ripening to a crifis, 
in North America, he came to this country, 
in which he has ever fince refided. Mr, 
Savage was a man of {trong and found fenfe, 
exemplary piety, primitive fimplicity of mans 
hers, great temperance, and unvarying cheer~ 
fulnefs,as likewile, of the mof rigid integrity, 
and unbounded benevolence and charity. To 
his fuggeftion, was owing the reftri€tion which 
is impofed on the Britifh flave thips, with res 
{peét to the number of Negroes they tranf- 
port from Africa, Notwithftanding his 
great age, his memory and other mental fa= 
culties were entire, and till within a few 
days of his death, he was capable of taking 
a confiderable fhare of bodily exercife. Had it 
not, indeed, been for an acute difeafe, to 
which the young are liable as well as the old, 
what is termed by furgeons ‘¢ an incarcer- 
ated hernia,” it is probable that his life would 
have been extended to a much longer period. |

AT the annual meeting of the fchool- 
mafters affociation in the North of England, 
theld at Newcaftle, Tuefday, May 22, the 
capital of the fund was reported to be in a 
flourifhing, progreffive ftate, notwithftanding 
they have now three fuperannuated mem- 
bers and eleven widows on their lift. This 
improved ftate of the fund arifes chiefly from 
the contributions of opulent individuals, who 
having themfelves derived important advan- 
tages from a liberal education, are willing to 
difcharge a part of their obligations on this 
account, by affifting fuch as are engaged in 
communicating fimilar advantages to the rifing 
generation, to fecure a competent provifion 
for ficknefs and old age, and for their families 
after their deceafe, which the limited income 
arifing from their profeffional ftipends will 
not enable them to do.
