In Dean’s-yard, Westminster, in his 80th 
year, that venerable actor, Vr. Thomas Hull, 
who had been so long a member of the thea- 
trical community, that he had become the 
father of the stage. He was originally in 
the medical profession, and among those wha 
knew him long was generally styled Dr. Hull. 
“He was a good scholar, and possessed literary 
talents, which he frequently exercised, many 
years ago, with credit to his character. His 
compositions were invariably intended to pro- 
mote the interests of virtue, and excite the 
benevolent affections. Bat what must for 
ever render his name dear to the friends of 
humanity, and particularly the theatrical 
world, he wag the founder of that institution 
which provides subsistence for decayed actors 
and actresses, when they are no longer quali- 
fied for the duties of their profession. ~ If 
this institution had teen ptoperly supported 
by the proprietors of the theatres and the 
principal performers, it’ would have been 
much more prosperous that it has’ been, 
and would, of course, have afturded a more 
comfortable support for those who ate not in 
general much disposed to provide for the de- 
cline of life, who often delight the public, 
but whom the public think very lictle of 
when the power of delighting is at an end. 
Mr. Hull wrote a tragedy upon the subject of 
Fair Rosamond, which he dedicated to the 
shemory of Shenstone the poet, of whose 
_ffiendship’ he was reasonably proud, and of 
. Monrrry Mac. Ne, 17%. ~

whom he had an original portrait, which he 
held in great’ veneration. Mr. Frull lost an 
amiable wife a few years agu, who had for- 
therly been his pupil. His aged mother re- 
sided many years in Bath, and is interred at 
Weston, near that city, where a small mo- 
hument, with’a few affectionate lines to her 
memory, waserected by Mr. Hull. 
In Portland-place, Mrs. Bastard, wife of 
John Pollexfén B. esg. M.P. for Devonshire. 
Her remains were interred in the parish 
church of Yealmpton, in that county. The 
melancholy procession was attended by a nu- 
merous concourse of people, who, by their 
silent and respectful attentioa, shewed a pro- 
per sense of the loss they had sustained. The 
domestics, with unfeigned sorrow, lamented 
a Kind arid’ indulgent mistress, and the lower 
ranks of people deplored the loss of a liberal 
benefactress. Her talents and taste were of 
the first ordet, and a lasting monument of her 
genius is left in her exquisite picture, from 
sacred: history, of Abraham's dismission of 
Hagar, as the magic of her needJe has rendered 
this piece one of the most magnificent works 
thi§ country can boast. Her strength of mind. 
supported her in her lingering illness, and the 
closing scene of her life was marked with 
fortitude and cheerful resignation to the di- 
vine will. : 
At his house in Cornhill, M4r. Lambert, an 
eminent stock-broker. He put an end to his 
Kife by shooting himself witha pistol. It ap- 
pears that he was under considerable embar- 
rassmeénts which were unknown even to his 
vartner, Mr. Cotton, or his family, but which 
had occasioned a deptession of spirits that led 
tothe catastrophe. Ona minute examination 
of his affairs, a deficiency to the amount of 
upwards of 60,9001. was discovered. 
In his 24th year Viscount Royston, eldest 
son of the Earl of Hardwicke, and M.P. for 
Ryegaté. This young nobleman left Ireland 
about two years since, and was on his return 
in the ship Agatha of Lubec, when the 
vessel was wrecked in a storm not far from 
Memel, and his lordship was among the un- 
fortunate sufferers who pettshed. Never was 
a more promising young nobleman given to 
iis country’s hopes, or more untimely smatch- 
ed away. At an age when most are content 
to study the ancient authors, with a view 
orily to attain the language in which they 
wrote, his lordship was so thoroughly mastet 
of their contents, that he translated the most 
obscure of them with astonishing perspicuity 
and spirit. Jt was from a desire of adding to 
the. store of ancient and modern learning 
which he possessed, the advantages that result 
from personal observatiun and travels, that 
his lordship quitted the splendour of an af. 
fluent home and encountered the dangers 
ander whith he finally perished. His title 
devolves to his brother Lord Charles.
