On the death of his brother, Alexander, Vice-Admiral of the White, the 7th Lord C. of Culross, he succeeded to the honours of his house. The title now devolves upon his eldest son, John, a Captain in the Royal Navy, now Lord Colville of Culross. remains were interred in Bristol cathedral. March 13. At Chicknell, in the parish of Claverley, Salop, his antient family residence, Edward-Farmer Taylor, esq. in the 71st year of his age, gradually worn out in constitution, after an enjoyment of long established good health. He was the youngest son of the late John Taylor, gent. of that place, by Sarah Farmer, his wife; and, as is usual in the mode of descent in the manor of Claverley, became proprietor of his mother's family possessions there, which his ancestors had enjoyed upwards of 200 years. His maternal ancestor, Edward Farmer, gent. married Elizabeth, the heiress of a family of the name of Potter, the former possessors of Chicknell, on 13 Dec. 1602. He was descended from many wealthy and respectable families residing in that and the neighbouring parish of Worfield, at a very remote period, even to within a few reigns of the Conquest. He became more wealthy, from indefatigable attention to an extensive and lucrative concern, in just and lawful commerce, carried on through a long period of his life in the grand emporium of the United Kingdom, for which city, a few years ago, he was nominated Sheriff; but, being far advanced in the decline of life, he chose rather to submit to the payment of the usual fine for non-compliance, and the heavy expences consequent thereon. His wealth enabled him to increase his real property around his maternal home with great profit and advantage to himself and the present possessor, his only son. He was one of the Deputy Lieutenants of the county of Salop, and a Commissioner of Taxes. He conducted himself as a just man and useful member of society, an example worthy the imitation of his surrounding friends and neighbours; and as he possessed considerable estates, he has left his tenants to regret the loss of the best of landlords. ton. March 14. In his 76th year, his Grace Augustus-Henry Fitzroy, Duke of GrafHe was born in 1735, and in 1765 was appointed one of the Secretaries of State, and the following year first Lord of the Treasury, which he held till Jan. 28, 1770. It was during his administration, that the celebrated Letters of Junius were written. Since that period he led a retired life, for the most part, and generally acted in opposition to Government; while some part of his time was dedicated to literature, and it is supposed he took an active part in some theological controversies. He was also fond of the sports of the chace and the turf; and had a house at Newmarket. By his first Duchess, the daughter of Lord Ravensworth, from whom he was divorced, he had two sons, Lord Euston and Lord Charles, and one daughter; and by his second Duchess, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Richard Wrottesley, he has left a numerous family. His decease will give to Ministers the disposal of several offices and honours. He was a Knight of the Garter, Governor of the Ports in Cornwall and Devon, Receiver-General of the Profits of the Seals in the King's Bench and Common Pleas, and of the Prisage of Wines, &c. He was also Chancellor of Cambridge, Recorder of Thetford and Coventry, &c. He is succeeded in his title's and estates by his son George-Henry, Earl of Euston; in consequence of which a vacancy takes place in the Parliamentary Representation of the University of Cambridge, for which his Lordship was one of the Members.
