recorded in the immortal bulletins of those times. He declared for Napoleon on his return from Elba, when opposition would have been useless; but, being afterwards proscribed by the Bourbons, sailed for America, where he made an unsuccessful attempt to establish a colony in New Mexico.

At Rome, aged 72, Letitia Bonaparte, mother of that distinguished family of emperor, kings, princes, and princesses, who in our time have filled the world with so much wonder. Napoleon, distinguished for his filial and frater

nal

nal affection, loaded her with riches and distinctions; and her irreproachable conduct proved her worthy of them. Her piety led her to prefer a residence at Rome, in the bosom of the church to which she was devoted; and here she enjoyed the society of her family after the fall of her third son from his towering elevation. She was immensely rich, leaving 300,0001. in legacies, besides her splendid palace and its appurtenances, to her brother, cardinal Fesch; and a liberal fortune to her grandson, proclaimed Napoleon II. in 1815, but now on his travels.

Lately, in the island of Jamaica, aged 44, Dr. Samuel Fothergill, for many years a physician of eminence in London, one of the able conductors of the London Medical and Physical Journal, and the writer of several of the Reports of

Diseases in the Monthly Magazine. Dr.Fothergill was born in Yorkshire, and, after having received the rudiments of his professional education, repaired to Edinburgh, where he graduated, and came to London. He was soon elected physician to the Westminster General Dispensary, the duties of which office he zealously performed for many years; but, his health being impaired by residence in the metropolis, and having suffered several attacks of hemoptysis, he determined to relinquish his prospects in London, and to seek the restoration of his health by a change of climate. He practised as a physician, with distinguished success, in Jamaica for some years, but was interrupted several times by recurrence of hemorrhage from the lungs to which, and the debility it occasioned, he at last fell a sacrifice.

In Upper Gloucester-street, Regent's-park, aged 70, Mr. John Debrett, formerly an eminent bookseller in Piccadilly, and editor of the works called "Debrett's Peerage" and "Baronetage." He had been for some time in a declining state of health, and was found dead in his arm-chair at the side of his bed. Mr. Debrett's shop, when in the zenith of his prosperity, was much celebrated as the resort of the leading Whig noblemen and gentlemen, who there spent a portion of the morning in discussing the events of the time. He had full opportunity of acquiring a large fortune; but, from too much confidence in those about him, an easiness of temper, and without a sufficient portion of careful worldly wisdom, he did not turn it to the best account. He was a kind, good-natured, friendly (02)

man,

man, who experienced the vicissitudes of life with fortitude-who never made an enemy, and who died without having forfeited a friend.

In Mead-row, Lambeth, James Sowerby, esq. F.L.S. Mr. Sowerby was originally a teacher of drawing; till, having applied himself chiefly to delineating plants, and other subjects of natural history, he was employed by Dr. Smith to illustrate his works in botany. Dr. Smith, Dr. Goodenough, now bishop of Carlisle, and the late Mr. Marsham, having established the Linnæan Society, Mr. Sowerby was one of the first members, or fellows, of that society, and was employed by them both to engrave and colour the plates of their Transactions, and has written many papers for those volumes. In 1789 he published "A Botanical Drawing-Book, or an Easy Introduction to Drawing Flowers according to Nature,' 1789, 4to. and a second edition in 1794. In 1798, "The Florist's Delight," containing six coloured figures, with botanical descriptions, folio, 1798. But his chief work was his " Botany," published in numbers, and which has run to about forty volumes. The descriptions of the plants were written by Doctor, now sir James Edward Smith, and was so successful as to lay for Mr. Sowerby the foundation of an easy fortune. Thus encouraged, he proceeded to publish "The English Fungi," with coloured plates, small folio, 1796; "British Mineralogy, or coloured Figures and Descriptions to elucidate the Mineralogy of Great Britain," 8vo. 1803; Descriptions and Models to explain Crystallography," 8vo. 1805. Many

years ago Mr. Sowerby erected a long room, at the back of his house, as a museum of British natural history, and has collected many thousand articles in the three kingdoms of nature, several of them very curious and scarce. Mr. S. has left some children: his two sons he has brought up to his own profession. Besides the art of drawing and delineating, Mr. Sowerby had acquired a very considerable knowledge in natural history.

The right hon. Charles Bennet, earl of Tankerville, in the 80th year of his age. This noble lord was born in the year 1743, and bore the title of lord Ossulton until the year 1767; when, by the death of his father, he succeeded to the

title and estate. In 1771 he married Emma, daughter and coheiress of the late sir James Colebrooke, with whom he had a good fortune. His lordship, in political life, has usually acted with the Whigs; and, for a short time, enjoyed the place of postmaster-general. By his lady he has several children; the eldest son, lord Ossulton, succeeds him. His second son is the hon. Henry Grey Bennet, M. P. for Shrewsbury, whose exertions in parliament are well

known.

At York-house, Bath, aged 51, M. Zea, the Columbian ambassador. He was a native of the province of Antioquia, in New Granada, now part of the republic of Columbia. Great part of his life had been spent in Europe. Under the former government of Spain, and previous to the revolution breaking out in South America, he held at different times several offices under the Spanish government.. The revolution in his own country drew him to the side of Bolivar, whose constant companion and assistant in the great work of liberating his country, he was for many years, until his mission to Europe in 1820. At the time of his quitting Columbia, he was vicepresident of the republic, and he had the satisfaction, before taking his departure, of presenting to the congress the project of the constitution of his country, which was afterwards adopted in all its leading particulars. M. Zea was a man of considerable talents, and of scientific and literary attain

ments.
