The title and estates devolve to his first cousin, Lieut. Joseph Blake, of the 85th regiment, who is yet a minor. In Little Dean's Yard, Westminster, the Rev. WILLIAM BELL, D. D. one of the pre 364 Account of Dr. Bell, Earl Beauchamp, Mr. Blomfield, &c. [Nov. 1, bendaries of Westminster, 84. He was educated at Magdalen College, Cambridge, was some time a Fellow of that society, and afterwards domestic chaplain to the Princess Amelia, aunt to his majesty, to whom he owed his preferment. In 1810, Dr. Bell, with a liberality which deserves the highest praise, transferred 15,2001. 3 per cent, stock, to the University of Cambridge in trust, to found eight new scholarships for the sons or the orphans of clergymen of the Church of England, whose circumstances are such as not to enable them to bear the whole of the expense of sending their sons to the university. He was the author of the following publications, the first of which gained one of the prizes given by Lord Townshend to the University of Cambridge in 1756:—“ A Dissertation on the Causes which principally contribute to render a Nation populous," 4to. 1756-"Enquiry into the Divine Missions of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ," 8vo. 1760; a second edition of which was published in 1795, with the title of "Arguments in Proof of the Authenticity of the Narratives of the extraordinary Conception and Birth of St. John the Baptist, and the miraculous Conception and Birth of Jesus Christ," 8vo. -"A Sermon preached in Lambeth Chapel at the Consecration of Dr. Thomas, Bishop of Rochester," 4to.1774.-" An Attempt to ascertain and illustrate the Authority, Nature, and Design of the Lord's Supper," 8vo. 1780.- Supplement" to the preceding, 8vo. 1780. Last Sentiments of P. F. C, Courayer, D.D. on the different Doctrines of Religion, with his Life, svo." 1787. In St. James's-square, suddenly, in a fit of apoplexy, WILLIAM LYGON, Earl BEAU CHAMP. His lordship was descended from a family of great antiquity in Worcestershire, where and in the neighbouring counties it has for many centuries enjoyed extensive possessions. These were considerably encreased in the reign of Henry VII. by the marriage of Richard Lygon with the daughter of Lord Beauchamp of Powyke, from which union descended in a direct line Reginald Lygon, esq. the father of his lordship, who died in 1785. The late peer, born in 1747, was returned to the parliament convoked in 1780 as knight of the shire for the county of Worcester, which he continued to represent in six following parliaments, till in 1806 he wasennobled by the title of Baron Beauchamp, which, as we have seen, had formerly existed in the maternal line. In 1815 he was created Earl Beauchamp, Viscount Elmley, and Baron Beauchamp. He married the only daughter of John Denn, esq. by whom he has left issue, William Beauchamp, Viscount Elmley, who succeeds to the title and estates; John Reginald, married to the only daughter of the late Earl of Clonmel; Henry Beauchamp; Edward Pyndar and three daughters unmarried. His second daughter, in 1809, married Viscount Deerhurst, eldest son of the Earl of Coventry, and died in 1810, leaving one son, who of course is presumptive heir to the honours of that house. At Cambridge, the Rev. EDWARD BLOMFIELD, M.A. Fellow and Assistant Tutor of Emmanuel College, second son of Chas. Blomfield, esq. of Bury St. Edmunds. His death was occasioned by a fever contracted during a visit to the continent, from which was but just returned. His loss will be long and severely felt by his family and friends, to whom his varied talents, his uncommon learning and accomplishments, his amiable disposition, and, above all, his truly Christian virtues, most deservedly endeared him. Mr. Bloomfield published in 1810, "Eschyli Prometheus vinctus," svo. which was followed, two years afterwards, by Eschyn Septem contra The bas," svo. On the appearance of the former, Earl Spencer, to whom he was not even known, presented him unsolicited to a valuable living in Northamptonshire. In association with the Rev. Mr. Rennell, he edited, in 1810, the "Musæ Cantabrigienses ;" and with Mr. Monk, the Greek Professor at the University of Cambridge, superintended, in 1812, the publication of the Posthumous Tracts of the learned Porson. He also prepared for the press the "Adversaria," of the same celebrated scholar, which appeared in 1814, and the following year produced an edition of Callimachus, with select notes, 8vo. At Hooton Pagnell, Yorkshire, the Rev. WILLIAM BAWDWEN, vicar of that place, and curate of Frickley cum Clayton, in the same county. This gentleman undertook the translation of that invaluable national record, Domesday Book, which he proposed to print in ten 4to. volumes. Only two have yet appeared; the first in 1809, containing Yorkshire and parts of Lancashire, Westmoreland, and Cumberland; also, Derby, Nottingham, Rutland, and Lincoln; and the second, the counties of Hertford, Middlesex, Buckingham, Oxford, and Gloucester. He also contributed a translation of so much of that record as relates to Dorsetshire to the new edition of Hutchins' History of that county, recently published. It is to be hoped that the publication of the remaining volumes of the translation of this industrious divine, which are completely ready for the press, may be made conducive to the interests of his widow and twelve children.

Among various suggestions made to the Plymouth committee, for the employment of their poor, none seems to promise greater advantages, both local and general, than the cutting of a canal in a north east direction from the port, for about nine miles, a little to the right of Tavistock, where there is a great deal of waste land, which might be doubled in value by cultivation. This measure alone would afford full employment to all the labouring poor of the three towns, for a consi derable time, besides amply rewarding the subscribers, and as wages are low, it can never be effected at a more favourable pe riod than the present. A robbery of a most singular kind was lately committed at Plymouth Dock. A baker having set his sponge over-night and filled his oven with fuel, found the following morning, that some thieves had been adroit enough to enter the premises without creating alarm, knead the dough, make it up into loaves, bake and carry them away with nearly a sack of flour wholly unmolested. Two labouring men who slept over the bakehouse, heard people at work, but supposed them only to be the baker and his appren tice. Married.] At Plymouth, Mr. J. D. [Nov. 1, Browne, surgeon. to Miss E.
