GEN. SIR W. PAYNE GALLWEY, BT. Lately. Sir William Payne Gallwey, Bart. a General in the army, and Colonel of the 3d dragoon guards; half-brother to the late Lord Lavington, and brotherin-law to the Earl of Dunraven.

He was the youngest son of Ralph Payne, esq. (whose eldest son, Sir Ralph Payne, K.B., was created Lord Laving ton in 1795, and died without issue in 1812) by his second wife, Miss Margaret Gallwey. He was appointed Lieutenant in the 1st dragoons in 1777, and Captain in 1782. He served in Flanders, and was at the principal actions in which the British were engaged. In 1794 he obtained a majority and lieutenancy in his regiment, from which he was removed to the 3d dragoon guards in 1796. He acquired the rank of Colonel in 1798; was employed for three years on the staff of Ireland as Brigadier-General, and for one year as Major-General; the latter appointment was dated Jan. 1, 1805, in Sept. of which year he exchanged to the 10th light dragoons. In 1807 he was appointed Colonel of the 23d light dragoons; he served in the Peninsula, was present at several affairs in the campaign of 1809, and wore a medal on account of the battle of Talavera. He received the rank of Lieut. General in 1811; was in 1814 removed to the Colonelcy of the 19th dragoons; in 1815 to the 12th lancers; and in 1825 to the 3d dragoon guards. In the last named year he also attained the full rank of General.

Sir William Payne was created a Baronet Dec. 8, 1812; and took the name of Gallwey, in addition to his own, by royal sign manual in 1814, pursuant to the will of Tobias Wall Gallwey, of the

Island of St. Christopher, esq. He married Nov. 19, 1804, Lady Harriet Quin, only daughter of Valentine-Richard first Earl of Dunraven; and by her Ladyship, who survives him, had one son, now Sir William Payne Gallwey, Bart.; and three daughters, Fanny, Louisa, and Caroline.

BRIG.-GENERAL WALKER.

Lately. In Scotland, Brigadier-General Alexander Walker, of the East India Company's Bombay establishment, late Governor of Saint Helena.

This officer was appointed a cadet on the Bombay establishment in 1780, an Ensign in 1782, and posted to the Bombay European regiment. At the close of that year he embarked with the force under Gen. Mathews, to act against the possessions of Hyder Ally on the coasts of Canara and Malabar. During that campaign, Ensign Walker was present at several assaults and engagements, and was removed to the 8th battalion of Sepoys, a distinguished corps, which, for its valour and fidelity, was afterwards appointed the grenadier battalion. At the attack of the Ram Tower, an outwork of Mangolore, Ensign Walker was severely wounded, and again in the course of that remarkable siege; and at its elose he was one of the two hostages delivered on the part of the British troops, as a security for the conditions of the truce. Under these circumstances he remained in Tippoo's camp nearly four months; and for his " spirited and zealous" conduct the government of Bombay bestowed upon him the pay and allowances of a Captain for the period that he was in the hands of the enemy, and a present of 2000 rupees from the treasury.

In December 1785, Ensign Walker sailed with an expedition to the northwest coast of America, the object of which was to collect furs, and establish a military post at Nootka Sound, which it was intended Ensign Walker should command. The expedition explored the coast as far as lat. 62 north, but the scheme of establishing a post was abandoned, and Ensign Walker rejoined the grenadier battalion, in garrison at Bombay. In 1788 he was appointed Lieu

tenant.

On the renewal of hostilities with Tippoo in 1790, Lieut. Walker's battalion served in the detachment intended for the relief of the Rajah of Travancore, and he was appointed its Adjutant of the Line. He also served the campaigns of 1791 and 1792; and soon after the peace of Seringapatam was appointed Military

468

Lieut.-Col. Walker arrived in England in July 1810, and on the 24th June 1812, he retired from the service. In 1822 he was appointed by the Court of Directors, Governor of St. Helena, with the rank of Brigadier-General, which command he afterwards resigned.

REAR-ADMIRAL SAYER, C.B. April 29. In Craven-street, Strand, aged 57, George Sayer, esq. Rear Admiral of the Blue, and C.B.

Adm. Sayer was a native of Deal, where his father resided as Collector of the Customs for upwards of thirty years. He entered the navy as a Midshipman in the Phoenix frigate, commanded by Capt. Geo. Anson Byron, with whom he proceeded to the East Indies. In 1790 and 1791 Mr. Sayer served on shore with a body of seamen and marines, at the reduction of Tippoo Saib's posts and other possessions on the Malabar coast. He was also employed on various boat services, in co-operation with the army; and bore a part in the action between the Phoenix and La Resolu, in Nov. 1791.

The Phoenix returned to England in July 1793, and Mr. Sayer was soon after made a Lieutenant into the Carysfort 28, commanded by the present Sir Francis Laforey, in which he assisted at the capture of the Castor frigate, after a close action of an hour and a quarter, off Brest, May 29, 1794. From that period he served as Capt. L.'s First Lieutenant in the Carysfort, Beaufort frigate, and Ganges 74, until March 1796; when he was promoted by that officer's father to the rank of Commander, and ap pointed to the Lacedæmonian sloop of war, on the Leeward Islands station, in which he was present at the capture of St. Lucia.

Capt. Sayer subsequently commanded for a short time the Albicore sloop on the Jamaica station; and in 1797 was attached to the flotilla equipped for the purpose of acting against the mutinous ships in the Nore. During the two ensuing years, and part of 1800, he commanded the Xenophon sloop of war, stationed in the North Sea. In 1799 he brought the notorious Irish rebel, Napper Tandy, and his principal associates, as state prisoners from Hamburgh to London. His next appointment was to the Inspector of 16 guns, in which he conveyed the Prince of Orange and suite from England to the continent. In consequence of a representation by the mercantile community, of Capt. Sayer's zeal and activity in affording protection to the trade of his country, he was at

[May,

length advanced to post rank, Feb. 14, 1801.

Capt. Sayer was not again called into service until the latter end of 1804, when he was appointed to the Proselyte 28, in which he sailed in the following year to the West Indies, with 150 merchant vessels and three regiments of infantry under his protection. In 1805 he was removed to the Galatea 32, in which he assisted in the capture of the Danish islands in Dec. 1807. During the year 1808 he was entrusted with the command of a detached naval force employed at the Virgin Isles and off the Spanish Main. He returned to England in the spring of 1809, when the Galatea, being found very defective, was put out of commission, and taken to pieces at Woolwich.

In November following, Capt. Sayer was appointed to the Leda, a new frigate of 42 guns; and at the commencement of the ensuing year was ordered to convoy a number of transports to Cadiz, whence he returned with the flag of Vice-Adm. Purvis. He subsequently escorted a fleet of Indiamen to Bengal, and joining Vice Adm. Drury at Madras, in Jan. 1811, was directed by that officer to assume the command of a squadron, having on board 500 men, part of the expedition against Java. For his exertions on this important service, Captain Sayer received the thanks of the Supreme Government of India, and all the other authorities; and, on the 10th Jan. 1812, the tbanks of both houses of Parliament were voted to him, in common with the other naval and military officers employed in the capture of Batavia and its dependencies, "for their skilful, gallant, and meritorious exertions." Captain Sayer also received a gold medal, and in 1815 was nominated a C. B. He remained as senior officer of a squadron for several months after the subjugation of the island.

In January 1813, Capt. Sayer was detained in command of an expedition to the island of Borneo, where, in conjunction with Col. James Watson, he succeeded in taking the town, and subduing the whole province of Sambas.

On the death of Vice-Adm. Sir Samuel Hood, at Madras, Dec. 24, 1814, the command devolved on Captain Sayer. He accordingly hoisted a broad pendant on the Leda; and made so judicious a disposition of the force under his orders, that Rear Adm. Sir George Burlton, on his arrival from England in June 1815, to assume the chief command, sent him from Madras to the straits of Sunda and the China sea, for the purpose of directing the movements of the ships he

had already dispatched thither. On h's voyage he heard, at Java, of the ratification of peace with the United States, and having proceeded to the China sea, was returning thence, when he experienced a ty-foong, in which the Leda was nearly lost. Thus retarded in his progress, Capt. Sayer did not enter the Straits of Malacca until Nov. 19, 1815, when he received intelligence of the Rear-Admiral's death at Madras, on the 21st Sept., by which event he again found himself authorised to hoist the broad pendant, and assume the denomination of Commodore. On the arrival of Rear-Adm. Sir Richard King, at the close of 1816, he resigned the command to that officer, and returned to England after an absence of nearly seven years.

REV. H. D. GABELL, D. D.

April 18. At Binfield, Berkshire, aged 67, the Rev. Henry Dison Gabell, D. D. Rector of that parish, of Ashow, Warwickshire, and of St. Laurence, Winchester; and formerly Head Master of Winchester College.

We believe the father of this gentleman to have been the Rev. Henry Gabell, who, having been a Fellow of Magdalen college, Oxford, was Rector of Stanlake, Oxfordshire, and a magistrate of that county. He died Jan. 4, 1802 (see our vol. LXXII. p. 182); and his widow Oct. 7, 1810. Another of the family, the Rev. T. Gabell, was Rector of St. Peter's and St. John's in Winchester, he died in 1803.

He was educated at Winchester school, and thence elected a Fellow of New College, Oxford, where he proceeded only to the degree of B. A. before he was elected master of Warminster school. In 1788 te was presented to the rectory of St. Laurence in Winchester, by Lord Chancellor Thurlow; and in 1793 he came to make his permanent residence in that city on being appointed second master of the school.

In 1796 he published a pamphlet "On the expediency of altering and amending the Regulations recommended by Parliament for reducing the high price of Corn;" and in 1802 a Fast Sermon, preached at St. Laurence, Winchester. He proceeded to the degree of M. A. as a member of St. John's college, Cam bridge, in 1807; and succeeded to the Head Mastership of the School on the resignation of Dr. Goddard in 1810. In 1812 he was presented by Chandos Leigh, esq. to the rectory of Ashow in Warwickshire; and in 1820 by Lord Chancellor Eldon, to that of Binfield in Berkshire.

"In

The only two occasions on which Dr. Gabell appeared as an author, are those already named. In the "Works" of Dr. Parr, vol. vi. pp. 469-500, is printed some correspondence between that great scholar and Dr. Gabell, to which the editor, Dr. John Johnstone, has prefixed the following remarks:bringing the correspondence of Dr. Parr and Dr. Gabell before the reader, I have to rejoice that the whole is committed to me by the kindness and liberality of Dr. Gabell. To this distinguished divine and preceptor's acuteness, erudition, judgment, and taste, Dr. Parr's testimony is unbounded; and indeed the critical discussions contained in their letters, could only take place between real scholars. There are no less than ten elaborate letters on one of Bentley's Canons, and other metrical and philological subthese are answered and discussed by Dr. jects, from the pen of Dr. Parr; and Gabell. What, then, must the reader's regret be, that there is no room to insert them all! I fully sympathise with it, not without a gleam of hope springing up in my mind that all will yet appear.'

Dr. Gabell married Jan. 11, 1790, Miss Gage, daughter of the Rev. Mr. Gage, of Holton in Oxfordshire. Maria, his third daughter, was married July 18, 1818, to the Rev. William Scott, second son of Sir Joseph Scott, of Great Barr Hall in Staffordshire, Bart.

FRANCIS HAYWARD, M.D. April 18. At Bath, aged 92, Francis Hayward, M. D.

He was born at Warrington in Lancasbire, one of at least sixteen children of the Rev. Thomas Hayward, M. A. who was also a native of Warrington, the son of Thomas Hayward* of that town, by

In the pedigree of the Marklands, inserted in Mr. Nichols's Literary Anecdotes of the Eighteenth Century, vol. iv. p. 657, to illustrate the biography of Jeremiah Markland, the eminent scholar and critic, the husband of Dorothy Markland is incorrectly described as "the Rev. William Hayward, M.A." His name was certainly Thomas; he was never "M.A." nor was be in the Church. It is not certainly known in what profession he was, but there is reason to
