L.

LA TOUCHE, Peter, Esq.; at his
seat of Bellevue in the county of Wick-
low, a very few days after he had entered
his 96th year.

Mr. La Touche was the youngest of
those three brothers, who, as successors
to their venerated father in the well
known bank in Castle Street, Dublin,
were, for so many years, at the head of
the commercial interest in that city.
His public character, therefore, has been
so long and so thoroughly known, as to
make any statement of particulars un-
necessary; but his private and personal
virtues could be duly estimated only by
those who were favoured with his in-
timacy, and blessed with his friendship.
No man, perhaps, ever had, by natural
disposition, a more upright mind, or

a more invariably kind and fraternal
heart. It was impossible for him to
know that distress existed without feel-
ing anxiety to relieve it; nor was there
a quarter on this earth, to which, on any
just emergency, application for aid
might be made with greater certainty of
success, than to him. It was, in fact,
his greatest earthly delight to do good to
his fellow-creatures. But it was not
from the mere feelings of humanity
that he was ever prompt to show mercy;
be considered what he possessed of this
world's goods as committed to him by
the Supreme Benefactor; and he felt
himself accountable to his God for the
use he made of the talents providentially
entrusted to his care. It was, accord-
ingly, his desire never to lose sight of
his final reckoning; and it may be said
with singular truth, that, on every point
of conduct, to convince his conscience
was to ensure his decision. His regard
to the immediate duties of religion was
sincere and unremitted. For very many
years of his life he never neglected
prayer in the church, in the family, and
least of all (if possible) in the closet;
nor was he satisfied with external per-;
formance, but was ever desirous to offer
up the devotion of the heart. As the
Sacred Scriptures made a part of his
daily reading, so were they a frequent
and favourite subject of his conversa-
tion; and it is a remarkable fact, that
after failure of memory had unfitted him
for other topics of discourse, when his
attention was drawn to a religious sub-
ject, he seldom failed to show a clear-
ness of mind, which he, then, rarely
manifested on other occasions. As
a relation and as a friend, Mr. La
Touche was every thing which could be
expected in human nature ; and the
warmth of his heart towards those with
whom he was connected by nature, or
to whom he had connected himself by
his own invaluable regard and affection,
could not be chilled even by the winter
of his uncommon age; but appeared
still to glow within him, when all his
other powers were yielding to his in-
creasing infirmities. The length of his
life, therefore, cannot prevent the deep
and wide-spread regret which will be
felt for the loss of a man who, dear as he
was to his immediate connections and
friends, was scarcely less revered by all
around him, as the most distinguished
instrument of Divine Providence in his
day and country, for affording relief to
indigence and alleviation to calamity.

corporation of Shrewsbury for several
years, and served the office of Mayor
for that borough in 1803. His remains
were interred in a vault in the parish
church of Alberbury, county of Salop.

LOCKLEY, John, Esq., of Amerie
Court, near Pershore; March 5. 1829;
aged 79.

He was born at Barton Hall, in Der.
byshire, once the residence of Oliver
Cromwell. He resided fifty years at Bos.
cobel House, county of Salop, a place
well known as the asylum of King
Charles the Second after the fatal battle
of Worcester. On the Boscobel estate
being sold in 1810, Mr. Lockley re-
moved to Amerie Court, occupying a
considerable farm under the Earl of Co-
ventry. Though Mr. Lockley occasion-
ally ran horses at country races, fox-
hunting was his favourite amusement,
and in this pursuit he achieved what
few men could accomplish. For several
seasons he was in the habit of hunting
with the late Sir Edward Lyttleton's
fox-hounds on Cannock Chase, whose
hour of meeting was at day-break; after
the morning's sport was over, he used
to go to the late Lord Talbot's hounds,
whose country was on the other side of
the Trent, and whose hour of meeting
was eleven. Three times in a year he
rode the same horse from Newmarket to
his own house, 104 miles, in one day.
At the age of 73, he rode a distance of
162 miles in 53 hours, on the same
horse. Whilst on a visit to Mr. Wm.
Grazebrook, of Audnam, near Stour-
bridge, he had a fall from his horse,
while hunting with the fox-hounds of
T. Boycott, Esq.; but he again mounted
his horse gallantly to the end of the
chace, and afterwards rode to his friend's
house at Audnam, a distance of sixteen
miles. He was rather unwell in the
evening, was taken suddenly worse, and
died the next day. His cheerful tem-
per, his affability, and hospitality, will
long be remembered. His remains were
interred at Bushbury, near Wolver-
hampton.-Gentleman's Magazine.

LOSACK, George, Esq., Admiral
of the Blue; at Milan; Aug. 22. 1829.
He was son of Richard Hawkshaw
Losack, Esq. of St. Kitt's, and Lieute-
nant-Governor of the Leeward Islands,
who died Nov. 2. 1813, at the advanced
age of 83; and his widow in Nassau
Street, Cavendish Square, March 26.
1818, in her 87th year.

We find the future Admiral com-
manding the Termagant sloop, on the
Leeward Island station, at the conclu-
sion of the American war. He was pro-
moted to the rank of Post-Captain,
Nov. 22. 1790: and in 1796 he sailed
for the Cape of Good Hope, in the Ju-
piter of 50 guns, and was present at the
capture of the Dutch fleet in Saldanha
Bay. Early in 1799, on the demise of
Sir Hugh C. Christian, Capt. Losack
succeeded to the command of the squa-
dron on that station, and continued to
act as Commodore until the arrival of
Sir Roger Curtis. The latter for a short
time hoisted his flag in the Jupiter;
which ship being in a very leaky state,
was soon after repaired in Simon's Bay,
instead of being sent to the East Indies,
as had previously been the custom. The
reparation of so large a ship at the Cape,
which had not been before accomplished
either by the British or Dutch, was an
object of considerable importance to the
Navy, and which reflected high credit
on all concerned.

The colony being restored to the Ba-
tavian Government by the Treaty of
Amiens, Sir Roger Curtis, after its eva-
cuation, returned to England in the
Diomede, accompanied by the Jupiter,
and some other ships of war. On enter-
ing the Channel he heard of the renewal
of hostilities from an American; and
soon after his squadron captured a
French ship from the Mauritius, with a
valuable cargo.

Captain Losack afterwards command-
ed the Prince George, of 98 guns, in the
Channel fleet. He was advanced to the
rank of Rear-Admiral in 1808; Vice-
Admiral, 1813; and Admiral, 182 .

The Admiral was married on board
the Jupiter, when on the Cape station,
in 1796, to Miss Story, daughter of
George Story, Esq. and had several
children. He has left a brother in the
Navy, Woodley Losack, esq. who at
tained the rank of Post-Captain in 1806.
James, another brother, died Lieut.-
Colonel of the 23d foot, Jan. 21. 1810.

LUKE, Stephen, Esq. M. D.; March,
1829; at his house in Cavendish
Square; aged 66.

SO.

Dr. Luke was a native of Corn-
wall, and of an old and respectable
family. He studied medicine both
at home and on the Continent; and,
directing the energies of a strong and
powerful mind to one point, he early
became distinguished in his profes-

sion, which he practised for some years
with great repute at Falmouth; but
the fatigues of country practice, ex-
tending over a large district, being too
severe for his health, he removed to
Exeter, where he continued for a short
time. Abilities like his could not long be
hidden in a remote part of the kingdom.
They became known to so many who
had benefitted by them, that he received
numerous and pressing invitations to
settle in the metropolis, as the only scene
on which eminent talents could find a
fair field and be duly appreciated. Nor
were the expectations of himself and
friends disappointed by this step. He
obtained almost immediately an ex-
tensive and respectable course of practice,
and was at length distinguished by being
appointed one of His Majesty's Physicians
in ordinary. Dr. Luke was remark-
able for his prompt and acute percep-
tion of the scat and cause of discase;
and, with a consequent self-reliance on
his own skill, his practice was bold, de-
cisive, and generally successful. Nor
was he more recommended to his pa-
tients by extraordinary ability in his pro-
fession, than by his gentlemanly man-
ners, and the tenderness with which he
treated them. His liberal and friendly
disposition will long be remembered, and
his memory cherished, by an extended
circle of friends and acquaintance. The
Doctor married Miss Vyvyan, a lady of
pleasing person and amiable manners,
the sister of the late Sir Viel Vyvyan, and
aunt of the present Sir Richard Vyvyan,
of Trelowarren, in the county of Corn-
wall, who remains with several children
to lament one of the best of husbands
and fathers. New Monthly Magazine.

MACREADY, Mr. William, father
to one of the most popular actors of the
present day; at Bristol; April, 1829.

He was bred to the business of an
upholsterer, by his father, who carried
on that trade there to a considerable
extent. Having a strong penchant for
the stage, he relinquished his business,
performed in almost all the Irish pro-
vincial theatres, and at length obtained
a respectable situation in Mr. Daly's
company, at Dublin. He was so en-
gaged when the veteran Macklin paid
his last visit to Ireland. Macklin, de-
sirous of appearing in his own comedy
of The Man of the World, allotted the

character of Egerton to Mr. Daly. The
manager submitted to the old man's ca-
price, in being directed like a school-
boy, until the appellations of "block-
heal," "stupid fellow," "no actor,"
"dunce," &c. were bestowed on him
with much liberality, when he threw up
the part in disgust. Macready was se-
lected as his substitute; and he accom-
modated himself with so much deference
to the will of Macklin, that the latter
patronized him very warmly, presented
him with some valuable trinkets, and ob-
tained for him an engagement at Covent-
Garden Theatre. There he made his
début as Flutter, in The Belle's Strata-
gem, in 1786; and, for several seasons,
he represented what are technically
termed walking gentlemen with all the
éclat that can be derived from the per-
sonation of such characters.

Mr. Macready afterwards became ma-
nager at Birmingham; and, having left
Covent Garden in consequence of a dis-
agreement about salary, he opened the
Royalty Theatre (on the site of which
the unfortunate Brunswick was recently
erected), on the plan of Sadler's Wells,
for the winter. This scheme proving
unsuccessful, he next obtained the man-
agement of the Sheffield company. He
afterwards undertook the Manchester
Theatre; in which concern he failed,
and became a bankrupt in the year 1809.
He has since been occasionally in the
management of the Leicester, Bristol,
and other theatres. He was the author
of "The Bank Note," a comedy, and of
"The Irishman in London," a farce.
"The Village Lawyer" was also as-
cribed to his pen, though, we apprehend,
erroneously.- Monthly Magazine,

MACLEOD, Major Alexander, of
the Bengal army; October, 1828; at
Edgefield, near Forres.

He was son of Norman Macleod,
Esq. of Knock, in the Isle of Skye:
arriving in India in March 1805, he was
posted as Ensign to the 12th regiment
of Native Infantry, which he joined;
and was shortly after detached with a
company, in pursuit of a refractory ze-
mindar of the Nabob of Oude. After
chasing him some days, he traced him
into a small mud-fort, which he imme-
diately attacked and carried, with the
loss of the subadar, jemadar, and twenty
sepoys, in killed and wounded.
next served at the taking of several mud-
forts in Oude, with the corps under
Col. (the late Major-Gen.) Gregory.

He

On the formation of light battalions

in the Bengal army, this officer was
attached to the 12th, commanded by
Major Kelly. He marched with it to
join Gen. Martindell's force on service
iu Bundlecund, and was at the attack of
Ruggoulee, and siege and capture of
Adjeeghur.

When the 12th regiment came down
the country to Barrack poor, this officer
volunteered his service with the drafts
for Java, where, on his arrival, he was
posted to the Java light infantry bat-
talion, commanded by Major Dalton.

On his way to join, he met, at Sama-
rang, the force under the command of
Col. Watson, of His Majesty's 14th foot,
with which he served at the taking of
Sambas, in Banca; this service being
terminated, he joined the Java light bat-
talion at Djojocata.

When Gen. Nightingall was pre-
paring the expedition against the Island
of Balli, and the Rajah of Boni, at Ma-
cassar, this officer volunteered his ser-
vices, with an European light corps,
formed of the rifle and light companies
of His Majesty's 59th and 78th foot,
and was in the advance at the landing
of Balli Baleling; and at the attack on
the Rajah of Boni, near Macassar; and
also on an expedition against a refrac-
tory Chief, near Balacomba, which was
successful, after several marches into
the interior, in seizing the Chief.

He returned to Bengal, when Java
was given up to the Dutch government;
and was appointed second in command
to the Cuttack legion, at the request of
Capt. Simon Fraser, who was nominated
commandant, and had the formation of
that corps.

He was employed with the mounted
squadron of the legion, and 120 men of
the infantry, at the attack on the
Lurkacoles in Singhboon, commanded
by Col. W. Richards. He was ordered
to enter the country at an opposite point
to Col. Richards, and to join that officer
on a certain day at Bendeah, in the
centre of the country, attacking the
enemy on his route as opportunities oc-
curred. After several skirmishes, and
destroying many of the enemy's posi-
tions, he arrived at the appointed place.
Circumstances prevented Col. Richards
from joining him; and two days after
arriving at Bendeah, he received instruc-
tions to offer terms to the Lurkacoles
in that direction, settle the country, and
attack any that might be refractory;
all which orders he accomplished to the
entire satisfaction of Col. Richards, and

1823, on Major Fraser going to Eng-
land, Major Macleod succeeded to the
command of the Cuttack legion.

When the Cuttack district was quiet,
and no further danger was apprehended
from Jugbundoo, the Chief that headed
the rebellion in that province, the legion
was ordered to the eastern frontier, and
the corps was organised as the Rungpore
light infantry battalion, and cantoned
at Jumalpore, where it remained until
the breaking out of the Burmese war.
It was then ordered to Gowalpara, to
join the force collecting there to invade
Assam, and was actively engaged in that
district.-East India Military Calendar.

Mr. Matthews was Puisne Judge of
the Supreme Court of Judicature in
that island, author of the well known
"Diary of an Invalid," and one of the
earliest contributors
to the "New
Monthly Magazine," on its new plan,
in 1821. He was the fifth son of the
late Colonel Matthews, of Belmont,
Herefordshire, whose virtues and talents
he largely inherited. His literary abi-
lities had been favourably appreciated
by the public before he left his native
country; but his subsequent forensic
career abroad evinced his possession of

with the occasion, would have been found
equal to the most arduous station.
the exercise of power, he manifested the
same generous attachment to the prin-
ciples of real liberty, the same ardent
love of truth and justice, and the same
abhorrence of oppression, for which he
had been remarkable from his earliest
years. His administration of the laws,
in this spirit, had rendered him deserv-
edly respected and beloved by all classes
of the Colony, as well native as Euro-
pean; and the Journals of India testify
that his death has been regarded there as
a public calamity. To mental endow-
ments of an order so superior, and suited
to the gravest functions, he added the
charm of a lively and playful fancy,
manners irresistibly engaging, and the
most endearing qualities of heart; and
as few men ever possessed in a greater
or equal degree the faculty of exciting
attachment and affection, so never was
