OBITUARY. Mr. J. Callaway.-Mrs. Levy.-Peter and Samuel Smith.-Mr. Harding's family. John Jackson, Esq.-Guillet.—Mrs. Longworth.—Mr. Wilson and Child. July 15, after a lingering illness, aged 68, Mr. J. CALLAWAY, Sen. of North Gate, Canterbury. During the American war, when the fallingoff of the silk-trade was so considerable, that many skilful workmen were much reduced, he introduced a new manufacture called Canterbury muslin, which afforded them employment and subsistence. He also established an historical society, and always appeared happy in diffusing the extensive knowledge of which he was possessed. July 17, at an humble apartment in the Edgeware Road, aged 70, a celebrated Jewess, named LEVY, possessed of 3000l. acquired by pretences to divination, which she had carried on for 13 years, having been originally a washerwoman. She was patronized by several females of distinction, whom she attended; and had her fixed hours for accomodating customers at home, where numbers came to her at two shillings each. She imposed on the credulous by a pack of cards of a curious make; or affected to foretel events by the planets July," in the course of one week, the whole family of Mr. HARDING, of Ringam, near Brampton, Northamptonshire, consisting of two sons, and two daughters, were carried off by an infectious fever, introduced by a servant, newly come to the house, who had just recovered." ་ July, JOHN JACKSON, Esq. F. S. A. author of a Journey from India towards England, in the year 1797, by a route, commonly called over-land,' and several tracts." July, in the Bicêtre, at Paris, where he was confined, GUILLET, who proposed to Mr. Fox the assassination of the Emperor Napoleon. He was im mediately sent out of this kingdom and appichended on his arrival in France. July, at Blackburn, Lancashire, aged 100, Mrs. LONGWORTH, who retained the use of her faculties till her last illness, and never wore spectacles. Her youngest daughter is above 60. Aug. 1, at Hanley, in the Potteries, the eldest son of Mr. WILSON, a respectable manufacturer of that place and his INFANT CHILD. As a preparation for celebrating the wakes, the sue ceeding week, three of the sons of Mr. W. had placed three pieces of small cannon in the garden of the elder bro¬ ther, charged with powder and wadding, and disposed at a short distance from each other. When one of the brothers was in the act of firing the first piece, the elder with his infant child in his arms, was in the front of the third. The priming communicated to the others, by which accident the father and child were literally blown to pieces, in the presence of a wife, mother, and brother. Their mangled remains, inclosed in the same coffin, were deposited in the family vault, in the presence of numerous spectators. This distressing event cast such a gloom on the surrounding neighbourhood, as all the hilarity attendant on the scaron was not able to dispel July 25, at Tiversall Colliery, Notts, PETER SMITH, and his son SAMUEL. Cleansing the water-way in a pit that has not been worked for some time, symptoms of the damp appearing they came up to the top, when Peter recollecting they had left a spade in the works, his son returned to fetch it, brought it to the bottom of the shaft, and got into the trunk in order to be drawn up by the father. The latter had scarcely raised him from the ground, before the foul air had so powerful an effect upon the son, that he fell from the trunk; the father called for assistance and urged on by parental feelings, insisted on being immediately let down in hopes of saving him. He fell from the trunk in which he was descending and both shared the same fate. The damp continued so strong, that several hours elapsed before the badies could be got out. Cardinal York. < John Hippisley Coxe, in Italy, represented to him, by letter, Cardinal York's case. Sir John conveyed this letter to Mr. Stuart, so well known by his Letters to Lord Mansfield (on the Douglas cause,) and his genealogical history of the Stuart family. Mr. Stuart drew up a memorial, which Mr. Dundas (now Lord Melville) presented to his Majesty, who granted immediately to Cardinal York a yearly pension of 4000l."an attention which the Cardinal very handsomely acknowledged in a letter to Lord Minto. "Thus ended, at the age of 82 years and some months, the last, in a direct line, of the Royal House of Stuart." At Rome, the CARDINAL of YORK, the expulsion of Pius VI. and his grandson of James II. (for the ridiculous Court from Rome. Cardinal Borgia, tale of his father's suppositious who had been acquainted with Sir birth is now we believe generally exploded.) “HENRY BENEDICT MARIA CLEMENS, second son of James Stuart, known by the name of the "Pretender," and of MARIA CLEMENTINA SOBIESKI, was born at Rome, the 26th of March, 1725, where he almost constantly resided till towards the close of 1745, when he went to France, to put himself at the head of 15,000 men, assembled in and about Dunkirk, under the command of the Duke of Richelieu, by order of Lewis XV. With this army Henry was to have landed in England, in support of his brother Charles. But though preparations were made for embarking these troop, though one part did actually embark, not a single transport left Dunkirk Road; and Henry receiving intelligence of the issue of the battle of Culloden, returned to Rome, where, much to the displeasure of his brother, and the friends of his family, he took orders, and, in 1747, was made Cardinal, by Pope Benedict XIV. and afterwards Bishop of Frascati, and Chancellor of the Church of St. Peter. "From that time Cardinal York, the name he assumed on his promotion, devoted himself to the functions of his ministry, and seemed to have laid aside all worldly views, till his father's death in 1788, when he had medals struck, bearing on their face his head, with Henricus Nonus, Anglia Rex; on the reverse, a city, with Gratia Dei sed non voluntate bominum. "Cardinal York had two rich livings in France, the Abbies of Anchin and St. Amand, and a considerable pension from the Court of Spain, all of which he lost by the Revolution. In order to assist Pope Pius VI. in making up the sum required by Buonaparte in 1796, the Cardinal disposed of all the family jewels, and, among others, of a ruby, the largest and most perfect known, valued at fifty thousand pounds. He thus deprived himself of the last means of an independent subsistence, and was reduced to great distress, on Cardinal York had some claim, it seems, on the generosity of this country. An Act of Parliament, still unrepealed, had settled on James the Second's Queen, Mary of Este, the Cardinal's grandmother, a jointure of fifty thousand pounds. While the treaty of Ryswick was depending, it was strongly contended, on the part of the French Negotiators, in the name of that Princess, that her husband having been deprived, by an act of the English Legislature, of all his right as king, and being consequently, as king, dead in law, she was as much entitled to her dowry, from the day that event took place, as if her husband had been naturally dead. The English Negotiators considered the point as too delicate for their interference, and desired it might be referred to king William personally. The proposal was assented to, and Marshal Boufflers had an interview with William on the subject. William did not deny the justice of the claim, and on Boufflers' expressing a wish that the concession of the jointure might be con firmed by at least a secret article of the Treaty, William said, "What! Marshal, will not my word satisfy you?" Boufflers bowed and parted, in the full persuasion that he had obtained sufficient security. But on the first demand of payment, William, it is said, insisted that the concession had been James Macfarlane. Esq.-Mr. John Mirehouse.-Rev. Daniel Fisher, D. D. John Stephen Maria Portalis.- Rev. W. Harris. made upon a condition which had not been performed; while Boufflers maintained the concession to have been unconditional. For a curious account of a visit to the Cardinal, see p. 471 of the present number. Aug. 1, at Margate, where he went for the benefit of his health, JAMES MACFARLANE, Esq. M. D. He was formerly professor of physic in the university of Prague, and since his return to this country has acquired distinction in the literary world by several publications, particularly upon medical subjects. Dr. M. was an accomplished scholar and a polished gentleman, much esteemed by a numerous and respectable connexion. August, at Miresike, in Lowes-Water, Mr. JOHN MIREHOUSE, aged 102. His family has been remarkable for longevity. His father died at the age of 95, his mother in her 100th year; three of his sisters at the age of 82, and a fourth in her 93d year. Aug. 13, died at his house in Hackney, aged 76, the Rev. DANIEL FISHER, D. D. He was born at a village near Cockermouth, in Cumberland, and received his academical education in London, at the seminary in which Dr. Marriatt was divinity tutor. He was several years pastor of a congregation at Warminster, where he kept a respectable boarding school. About the year 1771, he was chosen to succeed the learned Dr. Walker, as Classical and Philosophical Tutor, in the academy at Homerton. On the death of Dr. Conder, he commenced divinity tutor, and for several years boarded the students; but at length resigned the office and lived privately. After he left the country he had no pastoral charge, nor any stated mini terial service, excepting the Tue day-lecture in Broad-street, but preached occasionally, and was ever ready to as ist his brethren. In sentiment he was strictly Calvinistical, but discovered a Catholic spirit. His temper was placid and peaceable, and he was most beloved by those that knew him best. For several years past his health declined, and his mental faculties were at last greatly impaired. He was buried in quent hearer. He never published His On the 25th of August, died in Paris, in the 63d year of his age, the minister of public worship, JOHN STEPHEN MARIA PORTALIS. It wa he who drew up the very sensible memorial pre-ented to Buonaparte, on the ut lity and importance of a national religious establishment; and indeed planned and organized the restoration of the Gallic Church, as far as it can be said to be restored. His son came over with General Lauriston to this country durin. the short interval of peace. At Hook-Norton, Oxfordshire, in his 64th year, the Rev. W. HARRIS, who had been for twenty years a faithful, and not unp ofitable preacher of the gospel among Dissenters of the Baptist persuasion. He was much esteemed by all who knew him. for the simplicity of his manners, the tenderness of his feeling, the humility of his pretensions, and the piety of his heart.

He was highly learnber of the Royal Irish Academy, and ed in the language and ancient laws of of most of the literary Societies in the Ireland. united kingdom. He studied physic in Paris and London, and must have made a rapid progress in the attainment of knowledge, for the first of his works was published before he attained the age of 21. He was the author of several medical and political treatises, and of a general History of Ireland, to the close of the 12th century, of which The last accounts from Barbadoes mention the death of Madame DE LA PAGERIE, the mother of the Empress Josephine, (of France,) who departed this life at Martinique, on the 1st of July. She was interred with great pomp at Les Trois Islets, her heart having been first taken out and deposited in a silver chalice, to be sent to France. INTELLIGENCE. RELIGIOUS. TERRORS OF CALVINISM.We extract the following obituary from the Evangelical Magazine of last month, in order to shew, that the charges advanced by Unitarians, of the gloomy nature and pernicious tendency of Calvinistic views of the Almighty, are not groundless. The article bears the well-known signature of a Baptist Minister, who ha, distinguished himself by his writings as the heir of the Genevan demagogue's temper, and the defender of his dogmas. Several reflections are appended to the narrative, as that" if a drop of the cup of God's wrath can make a sinner thus miserable, what will it be to drink the dregs of it, and that for ever and ever?" and that "a poor sinner appears to have been brought to heaven by the gates of hell." One reflection only are we disposed to make upon the horrible tale, and that is, that if such be the Calvinistic "mania," (to use a word of the narrator's,) what thanks are due to the men who endeavour to restore the delued multitude to their right mind!" at K 6: "A YOUNG Man, of the name of C, grandson to a late minent Dessenting Minister, and brought up by him, came to reside -g about the year 1803. He attended at the Baptit place of worship, not only on the Lord's day, but frequently ai the week day lecsures and prayer-meetings. He was supposed by some to be seriously inclined; but his opinion of himself was, that he had never experienced that divine change, without which no man can be saved. However that might be, there is reason to believe he had been for some years under powerful convictions of his miserable condition as a inner. In June 1806, these convictions were observed to increase, and that in a more than common degree. From that time he went into no company; but, when he was not at work, kept in his chamber, where he was employed in singing plaintive hymns, and bewailing his lost and perishing He had about him several relistate. gious people, but could not be induced to open his mind to them, or to impart to any one the cause of his distress. Whether this contributed to increase it or not, it did increase, till his health was greatly affected by it, and he was scarcely able to work at his business. "While he was at meeting on Lord's day, September 14, he was observed to labour under very great emotion of mind, especially when he heard the following words: "Sinner, if you die without an interest in Chri t, you will sink into the regions of eternal death." On the Saturday evening following he intimated to the mistress of the house where he lodged, that some awful judgment was about to come upon him, and as he should not be able to be at meeting next day, reguested that an attendant might be procured to stay with him. She re- able creature," continued he, "ever |
