Jan. 10. At Dudley, after a short illness, in his 35th year, Mr. Daniel Hughes, mercer and draper,

At Gretna-green, aged 79, Mr. Joseph Paisley, the celebrated Coupler. He was born at Kerkandrew-up-Esk, in Cumberland, and early in life was bound apprentice to a tobacconist. He soon left his trade, to follow the employment of a fisherman; and he was allowed by his contemporaries, from his uncommon strength and agility, to be the most expert man in the use of the lister, for the destruction of salmon, of any ever heard of. His delight was in talking of juvenile feats of activity, and the immense quantities of brandy he could have drunk, without feeling the smallest effects from intoxication. He was accustomed to relate, in the presence of concurring witnesses, that he frequently swallowed a pint of unadulterated brandy at one draught. He dwelt with complacency on a celebrated achievement of which he shared the glory of a great brother drinker : they consumed, without any assistance whatever, no less than ten gallons of brandy in three days. For the last 40. years of his life he is supposed to have drank not less than two bottles of brandy daily. (See our vol. LXXVII. pp. 707, 802.)

At Westbourne-place, King's-road, aged 65, William-Thos. Lewis, esq. comedian, He was born at Ormskirk, in Lancashire, March 4, 1748-9. His grandfather was a Clergyman, rector of Trahere, in Caermarthenshire, and second son of Erasmus Lewis, esq. (private secretary to Mr. Harley, minister to Queen Anne) the confidential friend of Pope and Swift, whose name appears so often in their correspondence. His father, Mr. William Lewis, served his time to a linen-draper on Towerhill, but quitted business for the stage. He performed in Dublin at the same time with Garrick, under the direction of the then manager, Mr. Sheridan. In 1749, young Lewis was carried to Ireland, and educated at a grammar-school at Armagh, kept by a Mr. Heapy, whose son lost a leg in the service of the East-India Company, and in consequence thereof obtained a considerable post in the India-house. Mr. Lewis went on the stage very young, and early distinguished himself at Edinburgh, under

the

the management of Mr. Digges. In 1771 he was at Dublin, and by his perform ance of Belcour, drew the town to the Little Theatre, Capel-street, where he was engaged in opposition to Mr. Mossop, who attempted the same part at the rival thea tre, Crow-street. In the gay scenes Lewis was superior, but Mossop had the advantage in the impassioned ones; it was, however, one of Mossop's worst characters. Happily for Lewis, Macklin was in Dublin when he was performing, who, on his return to England, made so favourable a report of him to Mr. Colman, the nanager of Covent-Garden, that he immediately sent for him. His first appearance was October 13, 1776, in his favourite character of Belcour. Mr. Colman was so well satisfied with Mr. Lewis, that he allotted him, in the same season, a principal part in his then new Comedy of The Man of Business; from this time he continued gradually rising in the estimation of the Publick, succeeding first by the indisposition, and afterwards by the deaths, of Mr. Woodward and Mr. Barry, to their principal characters, which he performed from 1776 to 1782, when he became Deputy Manager of Covent-Garden Theatre; and one of his first acts shewed his good sense, in quitting the buskin for the sock, in which latter his superiority was very apparent. In this arduous station, he conducted himself with so much propriety and justice towards the Proprietors, and with so much suavity of manners towards his brothers and sisters of the sock and buskin, that when, in consequence of a severe fit of illness in the Spring of 1806, he was under the necessity of resigning the situation, he retired with the best wishes of all. Since his secession from public life, he became a joint proprietor with Mr. Knight in the Liverpool and Manchester Theatres; which have flourished under their superintendence, to the great advantage of the Company, and to the delight of several audiences:-As an actor, Mr. Lewis was unequalled in the sprightly cast of comedy, and there was an indescribable elegance in his deportment, which no modern actor could even imitate with success. In the sustaining a part which comprehended serious dignity, such as Lord Townley, he was inferior to Mr. Smith and Mr. Holman; but in such fashionable and flippant characters as Sir Harry Flutter, Tom Shufleton, and Sir Charles Racket, he was eminently attractive, and left all rivalry at a measureless distance. As a man, he was upright and good-as a husband, father, friend, he united all those endearing qualities which will make his loss irreparable to his afflicted widow, his affectionate children, and to an attached circle of acquaintance.-Mr. Lewis's health had been

gradually declining for some length of time; and the misery occasioned him by the death of a most amiable daughter, about 12 months since, quite overcame him. It brought on a train of low and afflicting disorders, which baffled the exertions of his medical advisers, and finally terminated bis existence, whilst in the arms of his unhappy family. He has left a most amiable lady to lament his loss, formerly Miss Leeson, of Covent-Garden Theatre, whom he married in Dublin, about 30 years since, by whom he has had several sons and daughters, the majority of whom are now living. His eldest son went out to India, with recommendations equal to any ever sent from this country, and which, to the credit of both father and son, were voluntarily offered and given; he has also a son on the stage, who has acquired much reputation at Hul!.

In his 74th year, the Rev. Edw. Howman, rector of Gissing and Florden, and in the commission of the peace for Suffolk.

At Knightsbridge, aged56, Mr.Geo. Dent.

Jan. 14. Of a dropsy, in her 30th year, Mrs. Anna Harral, wife of Mr. Harral, of Park-street, Islington, fourth daughter of the late Wm. Empson, esq. of Isleworth, and sister of the late John Masters E. esq. surgeon of his Majesty's ship Castor. Her illness, sudden in its commencement, rapid in its progress, and fatal in its close, proved to be a combination of anasarca and ascites. It may be regarded as furnishing one of the melancholy proofs, which we daily witness, of the yet infantile state of Medical science; as, of three professional gentlemen of acknowledged skill and experience, who were consulted upon the case, two entertained opinions directly at variance with each other; while the third› felt himself incapable of deciding, till the disease should have acquired a more dis-. tinct character. Thus, the unfortunate sufferer was deprived of the aid which she might possibly have derived from medicine; and, in one little month from the period of her first attack, she was snatched from the agonized embrace of connubial affection, and consigned to her native dust, leaving, for" another and a better world," a circle of loving and beloved friends, to lament her early and premature departure. Deep, indeed, is their cause for lamenta tion, though not as those "without hope," for, to a natural sweetness and affability of disposition, the deceased united all that can endear a wife and a mother, every grace that can lend a charm to society, alt the virtues that adorn and dignify her sex. A purer heart than hers, more void of of fence to God or man, never animated the human bosom.

Jan. 22. Aged 74, Mrs. Coltman, relict of the late Mr. C. of St. Nicholas-street, Leicester. Though little known beyond

her

her domestic circle, she was a character of no ordinary stamp; she possessed great energy of mind, a sound judgment, and lively imagination; an ardent taste. for the beauties of Nature (always associating the Creator with his works) afforded her through life present enjoyment. A long and intimate acquaintance with the Scriptures cheered and illuminated her declining years. As she advanced in age, her piety became more and more animated, and at length rendered her soul too ethereal to be confined in an earthly tenement. Those who enjoyed her intimacy, can alone appreciate her worth: they will long revere her memory, and lament her loss.
