THE EARL OF MANSFIELD, K.T. Feb. 18. At Leamington, in his 63d year, the Right Hon. William Murray, third Earl of Mansfield, in the county of Middlesex (1792), in the peerage of England; eighth Viscount of Stormont, co. Perth, Lord Scone (1605 and 1608), and Lord Balvaird (1641) in the peerage of Scotland; K.T.; Lord Lieutenant of the county of Clackmannan, Hereditary Keeper of the royal palace of Scone, D.C.L., F.R.S., and F.S.A.

His Lordship was born at Paris, on the 7th of March, 1777, the eldest son of David seventh Viscount of Stormont, and, after the death of his distinguished brother the Lord Chief Justice in 1793, the second Earl of Mansfield, Lord President of the Council, and K.T., by his second wife, the Hon. Louisa Catharine, third daughter of Charles ninth Lord Cathcart (who afterwards re-married her cousin the Hon. Robert Fulke Greville). He was a member of Christchurch, Oxford, where he received the degree of D. C.L. July 3, 1793. He never sat in the House of Commons, but succeeded his father in the peerage on the 1st of Sept. 1796. Early in life, he manifested his attachment to agricultural pursuits, and up to the present time he has cultivated much of his own land, particularly that adjacent to his beautiful residence near the metropolis, Caen Wood, between Hampstead and Highgate.

At the opening of the new Parliament in 1807, his Lordship moved the address in the House of Peers. More recently he opposed the Reform of Parliament, and voted in the majority which led to the temporary resignation of Lord Grey's cabinet, on the 7th of May 1832.

His Lordship was invested with the most ancient order of the Thistle in 1835. The Earl of Mansfield married, Sept. 16, 1797, Frederica, daughter of the Most Reverend William Markham, D.D. Lord Archbishop of York, and by her ladyship, who survives him, he had issue three sons and six daughters: 1. Lady FredericaLouisa, married in 1823 to the late Lt.Col. the Hon. James Hamilton Stanhope, brother to the present Earl of Stanhope, and died in 1823, leaving an only son; 2 and 3. Lady Elizabeth-Anne and Lady. Caroline, both unmarried; 4. the Right Hon. William-David now Earl of Mansfield, who, as Lord Stormont, has represented Norwich in the present Parliament until his father's death, and was a Lord of

the Treasury during Sir Robert Peel's administration. He was born in 1806, and married in 1829 Louisa, third daughter of Cuthbert Ellison, esq.; her ladyship died in 1837, leaving one daughter, and one son, now Viscount Stormont, born in 1835; 5. Lady Georgina-Catharine, unmarried; 6. the Hon. Charles John Murray, who married in 1835 the Hon. Frances Elizabeth Anson, second surviving daughter of Thomas first Viscount Anson, and sister to the Earl of Lichfield; 7. the Hon. David_Henry Murray, Captain in the Scots' Fusilier Guards; S. Lady Cecilia- Sarah, who died in 1830, aged sixteen; and 9. Lady Emily, married in 1839 to Captain Francis Hugh Seymour, Scots' Fusilier Guards, Groom of the Robes to her Majesty, son of Capt. Sir George F. Seymour, K. C.H., and cousin to the Marquess of Hertford.

RIGHT HON. JOHN SULLIVAN. Nov. 1. At his seat, Richings Lodge, near Colnbrook, aged 90, the Right Hon. John Sullivan, a Privy Councillor and formerly a Commissioner of the Board of Control.

This gentleman was uncle to the present Sir Charles Sullivan, Bart. Capt. R. N. and was the second son of Benjamin Sullivan, of Cork, attorney at law, and Clerk of the Crown for the counties of Cork and Waterford, by Bridget, daughter of the Rev. Paul Limrie, D.D. of Scull, co. Cork. His elder brother, Sir Benjamin Sullivan, Knt. was one of the Puisne Judges of the Supreme Court of Judicature at Madras; and his younger brother, Sir Richard Joseph Sullivan, was M. P. for Seaford, and created a Baronet in 1804. He was the author of several works relating to the East, and also of some travels among the Alps, and in England, Scotland, and Wales.

The brothers were sent to India under the patronage of their kinsman, Laurence Sullivan, esq. Chairman of the East India Company. John was employed in the civil department; but returned home before 1789, when he married Lady Henrietta Anne Barbara Hobart, second daughter of George third Earl of Buckinghamshire, sister to the present Dean of Windsor and to Lady Albinia Cumberland, and to the late Maria Countess of Guildford. Her ladyship died in 1828.

Mr. Sullivan was returned to Parliament for Oldham at the general election of 1790. In 1795 he published “ Tracts

upon India, written in the year 1770, 1780, and 1788; with subsequent Observations," 8vo. We believe he did not sit in the parliament of 1796-1802, but in the latter year he was elected for Aldborough in Yorkshire, being then Under-Secretary of State for the Colonial Department. On the 14th Jan. 1805 he was sworn a Privy Councillor; and in Feb. 1806 he was appointed a Commissioner of the Board of Control for the affairs of India, at which he retained his seat for thirty years, and retired with a pension on the formation of Lord Melbourne's administration.

SIR W. W. WYNN, BART. Jan. 5. At Wynnstay, co. Denbigh, in his 68th year, Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, the first Baronet of that place (1688), Lord Lieutenant of the counties of Denbigh and Merioneth, M. P. for Denbighshire, Colonel of the Denbighshire Militia, and Aid-de-Camp to her Majesty for the Militia service; President of the Cymmrodorion, or Royal Cambrian Institution, D.C.L., &c. &c.

The late Sir Watkin W. Wynn was born Oct. 26, 1772, the eldest son of Sir Watkin, the fourth Baronet, by his second wife, Charlotte, daughter of the Right Hon. George Grenville, and sister to George first Marquess of Buckingham, K.G. and the late Lord Grenville. He succeeded to the title and the large estates of his family, during his minority, by the death of his father on the 29th of July, 1789. He entered as a commoner of Christchurch, Oxford, in the October of the same year, and had the honorary degree of D.C.L. conferred upon him in the Theatre at the installation of the Duke of Portland, July 4, 1793. At the general election of 1796 he was returned to Parliament for the county of Denbigh, which seat had been kept for him by his cousin Robert Watkin Wynn, esq. of Plasnewydd, from the time of his father's death. Sir Watkin from that period continued to occupy it, we believe wholly undisturbed, for his influence was entirely predominant in his own county, and he was often jocularly called the Prince of Wales. His rank, as a commoner of the first consideration, he preferred to a peerage, which was repeatedly offered to him.

Early in life, Sir Watkin accepted a commission in the Royal Denbigh Militia, of which he became the Colonel in 1797. Part of the regiment extended their services to the Provisional Battalion of Mi-litia, and were stationed, under his command, at Bourdeaux in 1814. He also raised the Ancient-British Fencible Ca

valry in 1794, and served with that force during the rebellion in Ireland, where he was present at the attack made upon Arklow by the rebels, when they were repulsed with considerable loss, and at the battles of Vinegar Hill and the White Heaps.*

Sir Watkin supported Mr. Pitt's administration during the war with republican France, but appears not to have approved of the peace of 1802; latterly he consistently voted in defence of the constitu tion, in church and state.

He was on terms of intimacy with the Prince of Wales (George the Fourth), and in 1803 he made a speech, in which he warmly advocated the pecuniary claims of his Royal Highness. In Wales he was distinguished for unbounded hospitality, a princely munificence, and great public spirit.

He married, somewhat late in life, on the 4th of Feb. 1817, Lady Henrietta Antonia Clive, eldest daughter of Edward late Earl of Powis, and sister to the present Earl and the Duchess of Northumberland. By that lady, who died on the 22d Dec. 1835, he had issue two sons and one daughter: 1. Henrietta-Charlotte, born in 1818; 2. Sir Watkins Williams Wynn, who has succeeded his father; he was born in 1820; was lately a gentleman commoner of Christchurch, Oxford, and now a Cornet in the 2d Life Guards; 3. Herbert Watkin, born in 1822.

Sir Watkin had been for some time an invalid, and sunk under a spasmodic attack. His funeral took place on the 15th of Jan., when his body was deposited in the family mausoleum at Ruabon.

W. Bagot, Sir R. Cunliffe, Bart., Sir R. Kynaston, &c.
