In an obscure lodging near ‘Moorfields, 
Mr. P. Tompkins. This person was formerly 
supposed to be not only the most correct, but 
the most incorrect, book-keeper in the king- 
dom, and obtained a very handsome independ- 
ence by making sets of books for those-per- 
sons wno were, for their own interest, obliged 
to appear before certain gentlemen at Guild- 
hall. It is said he was the first person who 
suggested the idea of imputing the losses of 
bankrupts to speculations in the lottery, and 
procured the unsuccessful numbers, collected 
at 2s. each, as having been unfortunately 
purchased by his employers. This man’s sin- 
gular talent would have deceived even a com- 
mittee of the House of Commons, appointed 
to enquire into the financial state of the 
nation.

p. 339, of our last Number. Ue was second son 
of. the late Charles Mannigham, esq. of 
Thorp, in Surrey, formerly ene of the Coun- 
cil at. Fort William, in Bengal. The late 
Generals Sir Eyre Coote and Sir Robert Boyd, 
were both nearly related to Major-General 
Manningham on the side of his mother, who 
was one of the daughters of the late respected 
Colonel! Hutchinson, formerly Governor of 
St. Helena. It was under his uncle, Sir Ro- 
bert Boyd, that the general commenced his 
- apprenticeship in arms, at the memorable 
siege of Gibraltar, being then a subaltern in 
Sir Robert’s own regiment, the brave 39th. 
foot, in which corps he rose to the rank 
of captain. On the breaking out-of the 
war in 1793, Major Manningham had the 
honour of being appointed to the light infan- 
try battalion, formed in the islands, in order 
~ to join Sir Charles Grey, on his coming out 
to attack the Frerch West Indies, and was a 
sharer in the glory of that campaign, at the 
reduction of Martinique, St. Lucia, and Gua- 
daloupe. Hesoon rose to be licut.-colone! of the 
81st regiment of foot; and in 1795 he was 
adjutant-general to the forces in St. Domingo, 
then under the command of Lieute- 
nant General Forbes. While upon this 
service he had the misfortune to be severely” 
wounded by an ambuscade of the enemy. 
On his return to England, he had the_ 
honour to be favoured by the notice and 
protection of his sovereign ; and was, in 1798, 
advanced to be one of his Majesty*s aid-de- 
camps with the rank of colonel, and soon 
after was appointed one of his Majesty’s _ 
equerries. -In 1805, he was promoted to 
the rank of major-general, and was for 
some time employed on the home staf. 
On the breaking out of the war in Spain, he 
anxiously sought permission to serve inthe ar- 
my which was forming to assist that country 5 
and he was appointed to the division com- 
manded by the gallant Sir D. Baird, whom he 
accompanied to Corunna as next in au- | 
thority, till the junction of the main army 
was effected on the Duero, when Major-Ge- 
neral Manningham took the command of a ~ 
brigade, After sustaining with them the 
almost incredible hardships and fatigues of 
the latter part of that campaign, he had at 
last the consolation and satisfaction, at the 
head of these brave men, of successfully re- 
pelling the furious attacks of very superior. 
numbers of the enemy, at the memorable 
battle of Corunna. Within a short period af- 
ter the general’s return to England in fanuary 
last, his health began visibly to decline; and ~ 
it is probable that the fatigues and sufferings 
he underwent upon that most severe service 
in- Gallicia, operating upon a constitution 
already affected by West India service, and’ — 
the wounds receivéd in it, produced the 
feverish and other fatal symptoms, which car- © 
ried him to the grave at the early age of - 
43 years, ripe indeed in glory, but immaturely 
for his family and friends, and above all for 
his country. ] .
