late Baronet, at the lait mentioned piace, from mouves of respect to his memory, to elect his on to represent the borough in Parlament, and a canvals was actually made for that purpote; but fome doubts arding in the minds of the truftees under the will of the late Sir Francis, how far they were juturied in giving their auction to to important a meature without the concurrence of the fon, and he being in Germany, it was at length refolved by the town, that its cho.ce thould devolve on a friend of the family, and George Galway Mills, Efq. was in confequence elected.

The late Sir Francis Sykes was return, d four times for Wallingford, at which place he was much efteemed for his uniform attention to its interetts, and his obliging carriage to the inhabitants, by whom his memory will be long cherished with peculiar refpect. Whenever any queftion of more than ordinary moment was agitated in the Hode of Commons, it was Sir Francis's pranice to confult the opinion of his comituents, and to regulate his conduet on the occafion agreeably to their i..uctions; and he has been known to facrifice his own private judgement to the wifkes of his electors. As a domellic man, he was an exemplar to thole who move in the sphere of confequence and opulence. Magnificent without oitentation, and economical without partimony, he vied in the regularity of his accounts with the method ad accuracy of the tradefiman. As a Magiftrate of the county of Berks, he will be much lamented, Leng a man of butincts, and uniting thofe noceilary qualifications, difcrimination, patience, perfeverance. On his return from India, he purchased the mantion and eitate of the late Lord Fane, at Baton; and at fome ditance from the nt of the oid boule erected a new one, of very ftately architecture, where the ipent the greater part of his time in rural dignity. The follow ng anecdotes of him ought not to be forgotten, as they reflect an amiable luftre on his memory, At a former election for Wallingford, he applied to a voter whole ton lived with him in the capscity of a fervant, and was kindly treat

of all prefent, be met with a positive and unexpected refutal! He had, however, the magnanimity to order his domchics to treat the lad with kind

not an

nefs, obferving that he was fwerable for the conduct of his father; and he continued in the fervice of Sir Francis until his deccate.

The other incident alluded to is this. On one occalion, when he went with his Lady to his parith Church at Bafeldon, he found it fo completely thronged with hearers, that it was impollible for them to gain accefs to their pew. In this fituation, nitead of leaving the place with d.quit, as fome would have done, they chicerfully fubmitted to the mean accommodations of the church porch during the whole of the fervice.

Lord Camelford.-On Saturday the 10ta, between eight and nine in the evening, at Mr. Gitey's, near Holland Hou, where he had been ever fince the Wednofday preceding, when a duel took place in that neighbourhood between his Lordthip and Mr. Beíì, a gentlcınan refideat in Wimpole Street. In confequence of fome halty expreffious which paffed between this gentleman and the deceated on the Tulay preceding, the latter conceived hifelf infulted, and a meeting was appointed for the next morning, in the grounds of Holland Houfe, near Kenfington. When the parties, with their feronds, met at the time appointed, Mr. Beit endeavoured to appeade his Lordihip, and diver him from the parpofe of fighting a duel. Lord Camelford would hear of no accommodation whatever. Mr. Beft then fired, and fhot his Lordship n the right breaft; upon which, himfelf and the feconds left the field with fuch precipitation, that, when a labouring man, who was at work near at hand, came up, he found Lord Camelford lying on his back, in a very low and wet part of the field. When Lord Camelford heard fomebody call out, to stop thefe gentlemen that were going, he alked, why any body should top them; obferving, that he (himfelf) was the aggrer-that he alfo forgave them, and hoped God would forgive them. lie was then conveyed to the house above mentioned, where he languilhed til death put a final period to his fufferings, which were very acute.

Refpecting Mr. Beit, the fatal inftrument of this catastrophe, his Lordship is faid to have repeatedly expreffed his perfect forgivenels of him, and his most

ardent wishes that no profecution fhould be carried on aga.ni hun by his furvivors.

When the Coroner's inquef fat upon the body, Mr. Nicholfon, of Sackville Street, the furgena, fated, that the deceated died of a wound given by a pbi hot; but no evidence being g ven as to who need it, the jury found a verdict of Wilful Murder against fome perton or perfons unknown.

In his Lord.hp's will, we are informed that the prinsipal part of his fortune is bequeathed to his fifter, Lady Grenville, to be entirely at her own d.fpofal. Her Ladyhip, we now tint, is the fole executra. Amon the prin pal bequetis, his Lordin alter cxprefling the higheit regard for his friend Captain Barrie, directs that all his(Captain B.') debts may be immediately paid, and an annuity of two hundred pounds per annum allowed him during his life. He has left feveral fums to b› devoted to benevolent purpofès. His fervants, although not mentioned in the will, his Lordship recommended in a very particular inan`ner to Lord Grenville, who has undertal en to provide for them. He caufe d to be inferted in his will a declaration that he considered elf the aggrelor

in the quarrel which produced his death; to which be added a folemn requeft, that, in the event of his antago

it being profecuted contrary to his exprefs defire, this his last declaration might be made known to his Majetty.

His Lordship's title becomes extinct, and the confiderable family eftates, nearly twenty thousand pounds per annum, devolve to his only fifer, Lady Grenville, and afterwards, in default of ifuc, to the Earl of Chatham's family, who are next in the entail. His Lordihip was in the 29th year of his age, beng born in 1775. His father, who was the firft Lord Camelford, was created to that Barony in 1784, and defcended from the fine line of aucefry as the Lords Chatham and Rivers. Lord Camelford went round the world," as a Midhipman, along with Captain Vancouver; and on his return was promoted to a Lieutenancy, and foon af terwards to the rank of Matter and Commander, which he refigned in a fhort time, and quitted the naval profeilion.

On Saturday the 17th, in the morniug, between eight and nine o'clock, the body of the late Lord Camelford

Of the fcarlet fever, Elizabeth, the fourth child of Dr. Lainbe, of King's Road, Bedford Row, late of Warwick; and a few days before, in the 31st year of her age, Mrs. Lambe was carried off by the fame complaint. -At his houfe in Great George Street, Wefum nfter, after a fhort illness, the Right Hon. Richard Pepper Arden, Baron Alvanley, Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas. His Lordship was appointed Attorney General in the early part of Mr. Pitt's administration; on the promotion of Sir Lloyd (afterwards Lord) Kenyon to the Chief Jufticeship of the Court of King's Bench, he was advanced to the fituation of Mafter of the Rolls; and on Mr. Addington's coming into adminiftration, he obtained the Prefidency of the Common Pleas, in the room of Lord Eldon, who was on that occafion made Lord High Chancellor. The Noble and Learned Lord was taken ill in the House of Lords, and retired complaining of a pain in his ftomach. He was immediately put to bed, and all medical kill was ineffectual. His Lordship is fucceeded in his title by his eldeft fon William, now Lord Alvanley.At his houfe in St, James's Square, in the 64th year of his

age, his Grace the Duke of Roxburgh; he was born in April 1740, and fucceeded to the title upon the death of his late father in 1755. He was Groom of the Stole to the King, and Lord Lieut. of the county of Roxburgh. His Grace's titles are, Duke of Roxburgh, Marquis of Beaumont, and Cesford and Caverton in Scotland; Baron and Earl Kerr of Wakefield, in the county of York. The late Duke was, when a young man, as remarkable for his perfonal figure as his mental accomplithments. When on his travels, a Princess, allied to the Houfe of Bruné wick, became enamoured with him, and their union was agreed upon; but, conformably to court etiquette, it be came neceffary that his Grace should folicit the Royal approbation: this, however, was not only refused, but request was made to him to defift from his pretenfions; which being complied with on the part of the Duke, he was told, that he might expect any favour in compenfation that a fubject could receive. In confequence, his Grace, who was at the time a Knight of the Thistle, received in addition the Order of the Garter; two honourable badges of diftinction, which no other Peer, except of the Blood Royal, had ever enjoyed; and to thefe were fuperadded the Groomfhip of the Stole, worth 5000 per annum. The remarkable difappointment in his first attachment induced his Grace to remain fingle during the remainder of his life. By the death of the Duke of Roxburgh, the title of the Dukedom becomes extinct; but Lord Ballenden fucceeds to the Earldoms of Roxburgh, Kelfo, &c, with confiderable estates.
