In consequence of the wounds received
at the head of his brigade, in gallantly
entering the breach of Ciudad Rodrigo,
Major-general Craufurd.
On the 25th,

his remains were interred in the breach:
Lord Wellington, and every officer in the
neighbourhood, followed him to the grave.
At the time he was wounded, he was con-
siderably advanced before his division,
animating them to storm the breach.
There cannot be a stronger proof of the
regard the light division bore him than the
following circumstance :-Upon his return
to Portugal last spring, he joined his divi
sion, when the army was drawn up to re-
ceive Massena's attack at Fuente d'Ho-
nore, and as soon as he appeared at their
head, the whole division gave him three
cheers in presence of the Enemy. He
served under all the first characters in our
army, and they had all the highest sense
of his great merits; none more so than
the present illustrious Commander-in-
Chief. In private life, he was one of the
best and most estimable of men. The loss
that the country sustains in him is very
great; and to his wife and four children it
is irreparable. The following official ac-,
count of the fate of this gallant officer, ad-
dressed to the Earl of Liverpool, appeared,
in the London Gazette, of February 22 :-
"My Lord,-Major-gen. Craufurd died,
on the 24th ult. of the wounds received on
the 19th, while leading the light division of
this army to the assault of Ciudad Rodri-
go. Although the conduct of Major-gen. ́
C. on the occasion on which these wounds
were received, and the circumstances
which occurred, have excited the admira-
tion of every officer in the army, I cannot
report his death to your Lordship, without
expressing my sorrow and regret, that his
Majesty has been deprived of the services,
and I of the assistance, of an officer of
tried talents and experience, who was an
ornament to his profession, and was well
calculated to render the most important
services to his country.-WELLINGTON."

Jan. 25. At Highgate, in his 74th year, after a short illness, Mr. Henry Isherwood, many years at the head of the very extensive paper-hanging manufactory on Lud gate Hill; where he was nearly the oldest housekeeper in the parishes of St. Bride and St. Martin (his house and warehouses extending into both). He was almost universally known, and as generally respected, for his integrity, punctuality, and benevolence, and for a few harmless singularities in dress and manners. In business he was as punctual as St. Paul's clock; in friendship (as we can, amidst many others, testify) warm, steady, and unremitting in his exertions to assist in any difficulty. And to the distressed of every description he was a liberal but unostentatious benefactor. In such a man Society in general has lost a link of a most valuable chain.

Miss Randell, of Clapham.

At Lieutenant-general Davies's, Grove, Blackheath, Mary Rosamond, only daughter of Major Alex. Tulloch, of the royal artillery.

At Redland, near Bristol, Rev. Dr. Thos. Jones, vicar of King's Teignton, Devon, and chaplain to the Duke of Kent.

At Lowther, J. Richardson, esq. principal agent to the Earl of Lonsdale, receiver-general and clerk for the county of Westmoreland.

At Bath, aged 77, Francis Morgan, esq. late of Shepton Mallet.

Jan. 28. Aged 74, Mr. Richard Harri

son, the very respectable clerk of the parish of St. George Bloomsbury, which office he had filled near 47 years, with great credit to himself and satisfaction to the parish. The Church is one of the fifty new ones provided by Queen Anne, and was consecrated in the year 1730, since which it is very remarkable that there have been but three rectors and two parish-clerks. The rectors have been, Dr. Vernon, Dr. Tarrant, Dean of Peterborough, and Dr. Thomas Willis." Mr. Richard Harrison," another correspondent observes," was father of the parish clerks. For a strict and exemplary discharge of his duty he was equalled by few, and excelled by none. The large wig which he wore indicated the grandeur and dignity of his station. His zeal sometimes betrayed him into indiscretions, and caused him to assume a dictatorial air which gave offence to the younger clergy. It was his custom for many years to take a solemn walk on a Sunday morning around the church, previously to the commencement of the service, to see, that every thing was in order; when in the desk, he would frequently by his gestures remind strangers of the impropriety of sitting during the singing of the Psalms. In short, he might be truly styled an original. He was just and honest in all his dealings as an undertaker and upholsterer, and many families entertained the highest respect for his character. He was so attached to psalmody, that not even the rector could influence him to sing less than he thought proper. His numerous relations, to whom he had been a sincere friend and liberal benefactor, have reason to regret his death." J. Lagier Lamotte, esq. late of Thornegrove, near Worcester.

Mrs. Vessiere, of Leicester.

The awful strains of martial musick, aided by a solemn dirge chaunted by all the performers from the neighbouring choirs, (who seemed to strive in outvying each other in the veneration and respect paid to the deceased,) and the closing volleys which broke the pervading gloom in the burial-ground, at the time of interment, made such an impression on the minds of thousands of spectators as cannot soon be obliterated.
