Of a wound received in a duel with Mr. 
Powell, of Devonshire Place, Lerd Viscount 
© Fuitiend. The quarrel wnich produced this 
fatat meeting ortginated in Lord FalkJand’s 
addressing Mr. Powell, with whom he was on 
terms of intimacy by a nick-name, and per- 
sisting so todo, after he had taken offence at 
it, ina large company at Steevens’s Coffee 
house in Bond-street. Hence ensued the 
challenge, and the subsequent duel at Gol- 
dar’s Green; where, according to étiquette, 
Mr. Powell fired first, and inflicted the mor- 
tal wound. Lord F.stood for above a minute in 
his position, and then threw his pistol away 
without discharging its contents. On arriv- 
ing in town, and the chaise coming on the 
stones, it was observed to his lordship, that 
Powell’s house was near at hand; Lord F. in- 
stantly expressed a desire togo thither in 
preference to any other place, for the world 
would then be convinced he owed no enmity 
to his antagonist. Here his lordship lan- 
guished two days before he expired. Lord 
Falkland was a captain in the navy, and suc 
ceeded to the title of Viscount Falkland on 
the sudden death of his brother Thomas, in 
May 17963 his patrimonial fortune was very 
small; but he was a very dashing officer 5 
and though he lived in the gayest style, he 
had realized a very large sum by prize-money. 
The sister of Mrs. Gibbs the actress, ‘who 
had succeeded Mrs. Clarke in the establish- 
‘ment of aRoyal Duke, took the name of Cae 
rey, whilst she was under the protection of 
Lord Falkland, then Captain Carey. His 
lordship married in the West Indies in the 
year 1803, the daughter of a merchant of. 
the first respectability. She has three sons 
and adaughter, the eldest boy who succeeds 
to the title being only five years old. His 
conduct as a husband and father has been 
exemplary. He was about forty years old, 
was distinguished fora fine manly person, 
and his company was much courted, which 
occasioned him to mix too frequently in con- 
vivial societies: he was lately dismissed fr +m 
his ship on account of some irregularities 
arising from too free a circulation of the tot- 
tleat his own table ; but he was about to be: 
restored to a command, a circumstance which 
had greatly exhilirated his spirits, and per- 
haps occasioned that levity which has beer 
attended with such severe consequences. 
In the 21st year of his age, Joseph Davis, 
of Lincola’s-inn, esq. a young gentleman 
who had soa:-etime since come to London, 
to undergo a course of studies, to qualify him 
for the practice of the law. In which pro- 
fession, his relations and friends had, incon- 
sequence of his natural and acquired powers, 
promised themsselves that he would some time 
have shone with superior lustre. »
