At his apartments in Windsor Castle, aged

in the county of Worcester, and many years 
one of the poor knights attached to the order 
‘of the garter. Sir John traced bis descent 
from the kings of Jerusalem, through the elder 
branches of the houses of Plantagenet, Lan- 
caster, Tudor, and Stuart. His father, Sa- 
muel Goodere, esq. Captain of his Majesty’s 
ship the Ruby, was convicted and executed 
with Mahony and White, for the foul murder 
of his elder brother, Sir John Dinely, Bart. 
on board that ‘ship, off Bristol, January 17, 
1741, intending to secrete the crime he had 
committed, and obtain possession of the title 
and estates. ‘ The late baronet was a very ec- 
centric character, dressed fantastically, and 
so fraught with vanity, that in his old age be 
thought himself an-object of admiration for 
the ladies, and: often offered, both personally 
and by public advertisement, to lead to the 
. ‘altar any lady possessed of youth, beauty, and 
. Jarge fortune; andthe failure to accept of this 
-ofter, did not at all Jessen his vanity.

Died.| At Redland, near Bristol, the Rev. 
C. Pierce The giv Jeremy S. Baker. 
John Kinglake, esq. of Saltmoor House, 
He was one evening ascending the bank of 
the river Parrett, opposite his “residence, for 
the purpose of going to a neighbour’s house; 
it is probable that he missed his footing, and 
from the bank of the river being very narrow, 
the night dark, and the tide extremely high, 
that he was precipitated into the river, and 
unfortunately drowned. The most careful 
and almost unremitted search for the body, 
having been unsuccessfully made, it Is ima- 
ginea ‘that the slimy substance with which 
the water of the river abounds, has deposited 
on the body so thick a covering, as hitherto 
to have eluded every endeavour that has been 
exerted to discover it. Similar instances of 
long concealment of persons drowned it the 
foul water of the Parrett, have been known 
to occur from the cause here assigned. The- 
walking-stick which the deceased was ob- 
served to have in his hand on leaving his 
house at the time mentioned, was found the 
following morning, on the side of the bank 
towards the river. On his person, at the fa- 
tal period, were a gold watch and a pocket- 
_ book, containing bank-notes to a considerable 
amount. This accident has snatched from 
the kindred and acquaintance of the deceased, 
an affectionate relative, and a valuable friend; 
whilst it has deprived the public of an intel- 
ligent, active, and useful member of society, 
and a truly honest man.
