The Most Noble William Henry Caven- 
dish Bentinck, Duke of Portland, Marquis of 
Vitchfield, &c. [A Biographical Sketch will 
&e given in our next. | 
At Lansdown-house, Berkelcy-square, the 
Right Hon. Fobn Henry Petty, Marquis of Lans- 
@own, Earl of Wycomb in England, Earl 
of Shelburne, Viscount Fitz-Maurice, and 
Baron Dunkerron, in Ireland. His Lordship 
was in his forcy-fourth year. He succeeded 
his father, the late Marquis, in 19055 and 
the same year, married Lady Gifford, relict of 
Sir Duke Gifford, Baronet, by whom he has 
Feft no issue, but is succeeded in his titles 
acd estates by his brother, Lord Henry Petty. 
He had been for many months in a declining 
state of health. In the autumn of the pre- 
sent year, by the advice of his medical at- 
tendants, he was preparing to embark for 
Lisbon, to try the eftect of the temperature 
of the atmosphere of that country. Previous- 
fy to his intended departure, he visited his 
favourite castle at Southampton, and finding 
himself daily getting better, he abandoned 
his intention of going to Portugal. His dis- 
_ order was a liver complaint. to which he had 
for many years been subject. His lordship 
had a presentiment of his approaching end. 
It was only three days before hjs death that 
. he observed to a favourite domestic, <* Happy 
is that man who closes his earthly career 
when in sleep.” It was a singular circum- 
stance that he should depart this life in a way 
most agreeable to his own wishes: his lord- 
ship died without a groan, at a time when his 
servant was sitting near the -head of the bed, 
and imagined his master to have been still 
asleep. It was not until half an hour arter- 
wards that he was discovered to be dead. He 
was a man of the most unassuming and conci- 
liatory manners: in his domestic habits he 
was beloved by all his household. A few 
months since, as he passed the church yard at 
Paddington, commenting on the display of a 
pompeus funeral procession, when extended 
frequently a hundreg miles into the country, 
he ridiculed the idea, and added, ** When I 
die, pray let my remains be deposited here.” 
In consequence of that request being lately 
repeated, the bedy wili bé deposited there in 
a vault, over which a plain mausoleum will 
be erected to his memory.
