razor.

He was a little sallow man, whose features retained some regularity, even amid the convulsion into which they were distorted. He had on his blue cloth pantaloons, on which his hands, smeared and stiff with blood, were extended, and his grey worsted stockings, but no shoes. On the return of the jury, the coroner stated, hat two letters had been found in Sellis's portfolio, addressed to the Duke, and remon. strating on the preference given to Neale. One of them also remarked the difference between the treatment of the pages of the Prince of Wales, and those of his Royal Highness; as the Prince regularly placed his pages inside the carriage, while those of the Duke rode outside. From the testimony of various other witnesses, it appeared that Sellis was so much favoured by his Royal master, that he stood godfather to his last child, and prevailed upon the Princess Augusta to be godmother; since which the Queen and all the Royal Family had noticed the family. There was no proof whatever of Sellis being insane: indeed, his concealment in the closet, subs quent retreat, and ultimate death, are strongly opposed to this belief.-The deposition of Mary Anne Sellis, wife to the deceased, was read: it stated, that he had been walking with her and the children in the Park the day preceding the murder, and appeared usually cheerful. He said he should sleep that night at his room in the palace. She remembered his speaking to his sister, and saying, "Death is a debt which we must all pay, and it matters not when we do it," He advised with her about the dresses which the children should wear on the birth-day. He was in no pecuniary embarrassment; was a sober and domestic man, never drinking any spirituous liquers even at his meals. The night before, he had made her a glass of brandy and water, but would not taste it himself. He always paid the greatest attention to her, and shewed the most tender fondness for his children. She never saw the most remote system of derangement about him. She remembered his having a dispute with Neale, in consequence of which he was about to leave his Royal Highness's service: but she represented to him the great benefits which his family derived from having coals, candles, and apartments in the palace, and he never mentioned the subject afterwards-The Jury, after deliberating about an hour, returned a verdict of felo de se; and the body of the mur derer was accordingly bu ied at the corner of Scotland-yard.The Duke, who received six distinct wounds in this attrocious attempt, was removed on Thursday night to Carlton-house, where he continues in a state of gradual convalescence.

He was

In Seymour-place, Charles Townshend, Lord Bayning, in the 81st year of his age. His lordship was educated at Eton and Cambridge; and soon after he came of age was appointed secretary to the embassy at Madrid, where he resided about five years, and then returning home, was chosen into parliament for the borough of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, which he represented many years, and of which he was, in the year 1807, upon the death of his noble relative, the late Marquis Townshend, chsen high steward. $ccessively one of the lords of the Admisalty, one of the lords of the Treasury, vicetreasurer of Ireland, treasurer of the navy, and a member of his Majesty's privy council. In 1797, he was raised to the peerage by the title of Baron Bayning of Fexley, in the county of Berks. His lordship, during a long life, had enjoyed uninterrupted health and spirits, and to his last moments his understanding remained unimpaired by age, and unnerved hy sickness. He is succeeded in his title and estates by his eldest son, Charles Frederic Powlett Townshend, one of the representatives in parliament for Truro.

At

At Brompton, Sir Wm. More, bart. 73.

In Margaret-street, Cavendish-square, after a long illness, in his 79th year, General Hugh Debbing. He received a regular military education as an engineer at Woolwich, and in 1746, at the early age of 14 years, he, for the first time, saw active service in the expedition against P'Orient, under General St. Clair; he afterwards served in Brabant with the allied army, commanded by his Royal Highness William Duke of Cumberland, by whom, and by Marshal Batthiani, he was much distinguished; and was attached to the staff of his Royal Highness at the battle of Laffvelt; after which he served in Bergenop-Zoom during the whole of that memora ble siege. After the suspension of hostilities, he was one of the engineers appointed to make a survey of the late seat of war. In 1750, he was employed in making a survey and military map of Scotland, and on many other occasions at home, till the year 1753, when he was sent to North America as second engineer in command, and at the siege of Louisbourgh particularly distinguished him

self.

In the following year, he served under the immortal Wolfe, at Quebec, with the -same rank, and his talents procured him the friendship and entire confidence of that hero. On his return to Europe, he was employed in several confidential but very important and hazardous missions, which he executed to the satisfaction of his Majesty's government. During the American war he was employed at home in constructing fortifications and making military surveys; and, although he differed with the minis ers of the day as to their system of conducting their military operations, yet he was consulted by them on many occasions, ou account of his acknowledged merit as an officer, and his superior information with respect to the country and character of the people of America. Soon after the peace of 1788, he retired from public service, and occasionally employed himself in perfecting a system of fortification entirely novel, and peculiar to his extraordinary mind and attainments. Never died an officer more devoted to his king, nor a man more respected and beloved by every one who had the honour of his friendship. He has left three sons, one of whom is now serving in Sicily, as captain of the 44th regiment of infantry.

At his lodgings, in Pimlico, Mr. Sylvia, an Israelite, well known for his eccentric disposition. About forty-five years ago he used to attend the Royal Exchange, mounts upon a beautiful charger, with a servant, who held

ed business. The Lord Mayor, conceiving it a nuisance to introduce an animal of that description on the Exchange, one day ordered it to be taken away, and not brought there again, which order was complied with. He lent 500%. to Mr. Wilkes, upon his bond, which he afterwards increased, in consequence of non-payment, to 2,000 and the bend was burnt. Mr Sylvia was the brother of the Jew who was murdered in Garden-tow, Chel◄ sea, by his nephew. Through the death of his brother he got about 2,000. He had for some years past been the inmate of a man who took care of him, and whose disposition was in strict unison with his own.

[Further particulars of the late Admiral Lard Collingwood, whose death was announced in pige 499 of our last Number.-Worn out with the toils and cares of a sea-faring lite, his lordship expired just as he was about returning home for the recovery of his decaying health and constitution. Cuthbert Collingwood was born at Newcastle-on-Tyne in 1759; his family is very ancient, and was particularly distinguished in arms, and celebrated by the poets during the wars of the Borderers, in the 16th century. The traditionary songs and tales of those wars made a strong impression on the young mind of our hero, as he sought the field of glory at the very early age of 11, although not for the same reason which induced Nelson at that age to adopt the like course, his father possessing a small but competent fortune. . Cuthbert received the rudiments of his education from the Rev. H. Moises, M. A. After spending six or seven years under the tuition of this venerable master, who died about two years ago, he left his much-esteemed school-fellows, the present Sir W. Scott, Judge of the Admiraltycourt, and his younger brother, Lord Chancellor Eldon, and entered, the service in 1761. Like Nelson, he went under the protection and patronage of his maternal uncle, Captain Braithwaite, then commanding, the Shannon frigate, who died Admiral of the Blue, in his 80th year, in 1805. To this officer he owed

his great professional knowledge and skill in all the various branches of nautical science, and with him he continued several years. In 1766, he was a midshipman in the Gibral tar, and from 1767 to 1772, master's mate in the Liverpool, whence he was taken into the Lenox, Captain (now Admiral) Roddam, whose disinterested friendship for him and his family was nobly rewarded by the future conduct of his protegé. Admiral Roddam also took his younger brother, Wilred Collingwood, into his ship, and brought him to the rank of capta'n, when he died in the West Indies, about 1779 or 1780. Lord Collingwood has another brother in the Customs, and two maiden sisters, who still live very retired at Newcastle. By Admiral Roddam Lord C. was introduced to Vice-Acmir 1 Graves, and afterwards to Sir Peter Parker

and

and with the former he went in the Preston to America; yet it was not till after he had been fourteen years in the service, that he was appointed fourth lieutenant in the Somerset. In 1776, he went to Jamaica in the Hornet sloop, where he became acquainted with Nelson, then second lieutenant of the Lowestoffe, Captain Locker. This friendship of congenial minds continued the remainder of their lives; Collingwood regularly succeeding his friend Nelson in every appointment and ship which he left in the course of his promotion. From the Lowestoffe, Nelson was taken into the Bristol, Admiral Sir Peter Parker, and Collingwood into the Lowestoffe; in 1778, Nelson was appointed to the Badger brig, and Collingwood to the Bristol; in 1779, Nelson was made post-captain in the Hinchinbrooke, and Collingwood in the Badger; in 1780, Nelson was appointed to the Janus frigate, and was again succeeded by his friend Collingwood. On this occasion, Nelson was snatched from the jaws of death by being recalled from the destructive Quixotic expedition to St. Juan on the Spanish main, and Collingwood, whose constitution was less delicate, survived the effects of that dreadful climate, where, in four months, out of 200 men, who composed his ship's company, he buried 180! Of 1800 men, who were sent at different times on this expedition, only 300 ever returned; and many of them, according to Dr. Moseley, were literally devoured by the carrion crows of the country. In August he quitted a station which had proved equally fatal to the other ships that were employed. In December of the same year, he was appointed to the command of the Pelican of 24 guns, but his continuance in that ship was not of long duration; for, on the 1st of August 1781, she was wrecked upon the Morant Key during the dreadful hurricane which proved so destructive to the West India islands in general. The crew were however saved, as well as their commander. It was not long before an opportunity presented itself to resume his station in the service of his country. He was appointed next to the command of the Sampson, of 64 guns, in which ship he served till the peace of 1783, when she was paid off, and he was appointed to the Mediator, and sent to the West Indies, where he again met his friend Nelson, who at that time commanded the Boreas frigate upon the same station. The friendship which subsisted between these two young men, who were hereafter to make so conspicuous a figure upon the great theatre of naval glory, appears from the letters which were written during this period by the latter, to his friend Captain Locker. In one of these, dated on board the Boreas, September 24, 1784, he says, "Collingwood is at Grenada, which is a great loss to me, for there is nobody I can make a confidant of." In another, dated November 23: "Collingwood desires ue to say he will write you soon such a let

ter that you will think it a history of the West Indies. What an amiable good man he is!" Off Martinique, March 5, 1786, he writes: This station has not been over pleasant; had it not been for Collingwood, it would have been the most disagreeable I ever Saw." In this ship, and upon this station, he remained until the latter end of 1786, when, upon his return to England, the ship being paid off, he took the opportunity to visit his native county, and renew his acquaintance with his family and friends, from whom he had been so long separated. In this retirement, after a service of five-and-twenty years, ke continued to enjoy himself in Northum berland until the year 1790, when, on the expected rupture with Spain, he was again called into employ in the armament then fitting out, and appointed to the Mermaid, of 32 guns, under the command of Admiral Cornish, in the West Indies. The dispute being however adjusted without hostilities, and no prospect of immediate employment again at sea appearing, he once more returned to his native county, and in this interval of repose formed a connexion with a lady of great personal merit, and of a family highly respectable, Sarah, the eldest daughter of John Erasmus Blackett, esq. one of the alder→ men of Newcastle. By this lady he has two daughters; Sarah, and Mary Patience, both living with their mother at Morpeth, the place of his lordship's residence, during the short intervals of repose which he has beca suffered to enjoy. On the breaking out of the war with France in 1793, Captain Collingwood was called to the command of the Prince, bearing the flag of Admiral Bowyer, with whom he served in that ship, and afterwards in the Barfleur, until the engagement of the 1st of June, 1794. In this action he distinguished himself with great bravery, and the ship which he commanded is known to have had her full share in the glory of that day; though it was the source of some painful feelins at the moment in the captain's own mind, that no notice was taken of his services upon this occasion, nor his name once mentioned in the official dispatches of Lord Howe to the Admiralty. Rear Admiral Bowyer lost his leg by the side of Captain Collingwood, yet no epithet of approbation was officially bestowed on the captain of the Barfleur! That any intended neglect of this modest and brave man occurred we have no reason to believe, and how far he was jus❤ tifiable in resenting the apparent unintentional omission of his name it would exceed our limits in this sketch to inquire. When his Majesty visited the fleet at Spithead, he distributed the gold chains and medals voted to the commanders in that glorious action but, unfortunately, Collingwood was no lon ger commander of the Barfleur; he was not present, and received not from the hands of his sovereign that meed of honour which had been wisely and justly awarded to the dif

ferent
