John Douglas, and eldest daughter of the Earl of Harewood—In October last, at Sierra Leone, Robert Hogan, Esq. LL.D. his Majesty's chief justice and admiralty judge in that settlement. As a gentleman and a scholar, a sincere friend and a social companion, Dr Hogan had not a superior. But to describe him solely by these qualities would fall far short of his merits. Dr Hogan had not been many months in the possession of a situation from which he looked forward to honour and emolument, when he was seized with a fever (the effect of the climate), which in a few days put a period to his life. He was a native of the county of Limerick, in Ireland.—Lately, in Vernon Place, London, Charles Combe, M.D. F.R.S. aged 73.—Lately at Kensington, the Rev. William Beloe, rector of Allhallows, and prebendary of St Paul's Cathedral. Mr B. was a native of Norwich, where his father followed the business of a china-man; and was educated at the university of Cambrige. He obtained the vicarage of Earlshavn, with Bowthorpe annexed; and in 1796 the rectory of Allhallows. He was for many years assistant librarian of the British Museum, and highly respectable as a scholar. As an author, he was chiefly known as a compiler; and in association with the Rev. Robert Nares, the Rev. William Tooke, and the late Mr Morrison, he prepared for the press an edition of the "Biographical Dictionary," in 15 vols 8vo, and was, with the Rev. Robert Nares, a principal conductor of the "British Critic." Amongst his separate publications are, "The History of Herodotus, from the Greek, with Notes," 4 vols 8vo; "The Attic Nights of Auras Gellius, translated," 3 vols 8vo; "Anecdotes of Literature and Scarce books," 6 vols 8vo—Lately, at Cambridge, the Rev.

At Gatcomb House, near Portsmouth, Lady Curtis, relict of Sir Roger Curtis, Bart.—At Mauldslie Castle, the Right Honourable the Earl of Hyndford. His private character was highly estimable. Few noblemen have been so much beloved. The greater part of his time was devoted to agricultural pursuits at Westraw, and to the embellishment of his princely seat at Mauldslie. He was one of the most skilful farmers in a district particularly distinguished for the excellence of its farming. Mauldslie, his patrimonial inheritance, is now separated from the Hyndford estate. It has fallen to his Lordship's sister, Mrs Nisbet of Carphin. Sir John Anstruther, Bart, succeeds to the entailed estate. The title is extinct.—14.
