DEATHS in the Year 1806.

Jan. 1st. This morning a meeting took place, in a picce of ground in the parish of Basford, between ensign Browne, of the 36th foot, and lieut. Butler, of the 83d, on the recruiting service at Nottingham. The parties fired together, by signal, when, unfortunately, ensign Browne was shot through the heart, and instantly expired, without uttering a word. Lieut. Butler and the se

Rev. J. Watson, M. A. rector of Mistley, Radwinter V. Essex. Rev. William Preston, jun. Bul-conds immediately withdrew. The mer R. and Whenby V. co. York. Rev. Wm. Ralfe, Maulden R.

co. Bedford.

Rev. H. Franklin, B. A. Barford R. Norfolk.

Rev. Cooper Willyams, M. A. of Exning, to hold Kingston R. with

body of the deceased was taken to Basford church, by some persons who were attracted to the spot by the report of the pistols; and a verdict of wilful murder was returned by the coroner's jury who sat upon it. Ensign Browne was a promising Kk4 young

young officer, of a very respectable family in Ireland, and had only just attained his 17th year. He and lieut. Butler belonged lately to the same regiment; but, from a serious disagreement which took place between them, the commander in chief ordered them to be placed in different corps. On their meeting at Nottingham, however, the embers of animosity rekindled, and the unhappy result has proved the loss to society of a valuable and much-respected young member.

Burnt to death, Mrs. Gooch, of Sloane-square, mother to the lady of the bishop of Bath and Wells.

2d. At Cawthorne, near Barnsley, in her 18th year, Martha Mellor, who was shot by Samuel Ibbotson, a boy 12 years old. Having gone into the house where the girl was, he took up a gun, but was desired to lay it down immediately, which he did; but shortly afterwards took it up again, and, seeing the girl in another room, said he would shoot her, which, shocking to relate! he immediately did. Verdict, manslaughter. He was committed to

York castle.

At Drogheda, in Ireland, Miss Brunton, of Dublin, a handsome young lady, who was on a visit to capt. Gooden, of the Sligo militia. She got up in her sleep, went to the window of her bed-room, which was two stories high, threw up the sash, fell into the street, and was almost immediately taken up lifeless. Be. fore she reached the ground, she fell on the top of a shop-window under her room, and then screamed so violently as to awaken capt. Gooden. It is conjectured that at that moment she awoke, and recovered her senses only to know that she was then about to lose her life.

3d. In Stanhope - street, Mayfair, after a short illness, lady Vandeput, widow of sir George V. who died in 1784, and who was famous for his contest for Westminster in 1748.

At a farm-house in the parish of St Dogmell, co. Pembroke, Joshua Lewis, farmer. A quarrel arose between him and John Owens, master of a trading vessel from Cardigan, respecting a young woman; blows followed; and Lewis was wounded with a knife in six different parts of his body, which shortly occasioned his death.

4th. At Clifton, near Bristol, Mrs. Barbara Turvile, wife of Francis Fortescue T. esq. of Husband Bosworth-hall, co. Leicester. She was daughter of Charles Talbot (brother to George the last earl of Shaftesbury,) and was married April 9, 1780.

Rev. Matthew Thompson, rector of Bradfield and Mistley, Essex, and in the commission of the peace for that county. He was invited, with a party, to dine with col. Rigby, at Mistley; when the company were informed that dinner was ready, Mr. Thompson, in the act of rising to go into the dining-room, fell down, and expired immediately, leaving a wife and cleven children.

Drowned, alongside the Victory, at Chatham, while endeavouring to get hold of a lighter, a serjeant of marines, belonging to that ship, and a

waterman, named Jn. Eldon. The serjeant missed his hold, and caught the waterman by the collar; but the tide running very strong, they both disappeared before assistance could arrive.

Aged 65, Mr. Samuel Patch, formerly judge-advocate at Jamaica, but who had for some time resided

at

at Stamford, co. Lincoln, under the pressure of the most indigent circumstances. He has left an unprotected ideot daughter, whose only inheritance is the poor-house and the beneficence of her fellow crea

tures.

At his seat at Benham, near Newbury, Berks, after an illness of only three days, his serene highness Christian-Frederick Charles - Alexander, Margrave of Brandenburgh Anspach, and Bayreuth, duke of Prussia, count of Sagn, &c. &c. born February 24th 1736. He was nearly allied to our present royal family, his highness's grandmother, by his mother's side, having been a princess of England, and his great aunt was queen Caroline, wife to George the second. His mother was sister to Frederick II. of Prussia. His highness was married, first, to a princess of the house of Saxe-Cobourg, and secondly, in 1791, to Elizabeth, widow of the late lord Craven, and daughter of the late, and sister of the present, earl of Berkeley, who survives him, and by neither of whom had he any issue. He chose rather to live like a private gentleman in England than to rule as an absolute prince in Germany. Shortly after his marriage with lady Craven he sold his principality, with all its territory, revenue, and inhabitants, to the king of Prussia. Having thus relinquished all his power, importance, and rank, he came and spent the rest of his life in a country where he could have but a mere nominal title, without any one civil or political privilege. His goodness of heart and extreme affability endeared him to all ranks of people who knew him, either as a sovereign or an individual. His remains were interred, in a sumptuous and splendid

manner, the procession being very numerous and grand, in the church of Speen, near Newbury. The Margravine, so well known, acquires a personal property of near 150,0001. sterling by the death of the margrave.

7th. At his chambers in Lincoln's-inn, aged 68, Bennet Combe, esq. This singular man, though possessed of large property, led a single life at his chambers in Lincoln's inn, with two servants, and was a constant frequenter of Will's coffee-house, Lincoln's-in fields.

Sth. At his house at Canonbury, Islington, Robert Wilkinson, esą. formerly partner in the house of Garsed, Meyrick, and Garsed, of Goldsmith-street, Wood - street, Cheapside, ribbon weavers. He married the only surviving daughter of the elder (John) Garsed, who died at Canonbury in 1786, leaving the bulk of his considerable fortune between her and her mother, an ample share of which Mr. W. acquired by this marriage. On the death of both the Garseds, he took into partnership Mr. Dowell, who married the eldest daughter of the late Mr. Longman, bookseller, of Paternoster-row, to whom he has left the stock and a handsome legacy. To the Foundling-hospital, of which he was a governor, 500l. to the humane society 100.; to the philanthropic society 100.; to the charity-schools of Islington 50l. ; to the widow of a brother who died in the East Indies 2001. per annum; to two nieces of Mr. Garsed 10007. each; and legacies to the same or half the amount to sundry persons; and the residue to James Garsed and Joseph Green, youngest son of his partner, Mr. Green, of Guildford-street, who agreeably to. his will, has taken
