The gallant Colonel served also throughout the campaign of 1815, and had three horses killed under him at Waterloo.

He retired from Parliament in 1841, the enfeebled state of his health rendering him incapable of enduring the fatigues attendant upon that honourable position. Mr. Foley married August 16th, 1832, Lady Emily Graham, fourth daughter of James, third Duke of Montrose, who survives him without issue.

APRIL.

1. At Dalston, Cumberland, aged 78, the Rev. Walter Fletcher, Vicar of Dalston and Lazonby, Chancellor of the diocese of Carlisle and a Prebendary of York.

At Abingdon Abbey, Northamptonshire, aged 87, Joseph Loxdale, esq.

Aged 62, Mr. John Le Keux, the eminent architectural engraver. Mr. Le Keux was a pupil of James Basire, the most eminent architectural engraver of that day, with whom he remained as pupil for four years, and imbibed a decided taste for architectural subjects, especially those in the Gothic style. Refining upon the manner of his master, he formed for himself one combining both truthfulness and taste of delineation in a degree almost unprecedented—one equally removed from dry mechanical and mere painstaking correctness on the one hand, and from that sort of freedom which is more spirited than scrupulous on the other. The principal works on which Mr. Le Keux, exerted his talents are Britton's Architectural Antiquities, Cathedrals, &c.; the elder Pugin's Antiquities of Normandy, Gothic Specimens, and Gothic Examples; Neale's Westminster Abbey; the Memorials of Oxford, and the similar work on Cambridge. Almost all the architectural works of the day are enriched by the productions of Mr. Le Keux's burin.

At his seat, Golden Fort, Wicklow, aged 84. General Stratford Saunders. He was the son of Morley Saunders, of Saunders Grove, esq., by Lady Martha Stratford, third daughter of John, first Earl of Aldborough. He entered the army in February 1778, having obtained an Ensigncy in the 64th regiment. He was ordered to the West Indies with the 90th regiment, where he continued two years, during which period the regiment was actively employed against the islands

of Demerara, St. Eustacia, and St. Vincent. In 1794 he proceeded to the West Indies, where he remained with the 61st regiment in the islands of Martinique and St. Lucie nearly two years; during which time he was present in several engagements with the enemy, particularly those of the Vigie Gros Islet, Cul de Sac, and town of Carnagie. In 1798 he obtained the brevet rank of LieutenantColonel, still remaining as 2nd Major in the 61st regiment; and proceeded with it, in that capacity, to the Cape of Good Hope, where he commanded an expedition against the rebellious Caffres. Soon after his return from that service, the regiment embarked on a secret expedition; and, on their arrival at Mocho, it was found their object was to dispossess the French of the strong situations they held on the coast of Coromandel, and on the banks of the Nile in Upper Egypt: for this purpose they joined the army from India, under General Baird, at the rendezvous at Cossire, and from thence proceeded through the desert, and down the Nile to Alexandria, where they joined the army under Lord Hutchinson. The regiment, after a period of nearly two years' service in Egypt, proceeded to Malta in 1803; where the command of the regiment devolved on Lieutenant-Colonel Saunders, who received his Lieutenant-Colonelcy the 7th of March, 1805, in which he continued through the campaign with Sir James Craig in Italy and Sicily. In the latter island he was left as senior officer while General Sir John Stuart was in Calabria. He was then appointed to the command of Scylla, on the straits between Calabria and Messina. The 25th of April, 1808, he received the brevet of Colonel. From Scylla he accompanied the 61st to Gibraltar, and in June 1809 proceeded to Portugal, and in a separate command joined, by forced marches, Lord Wellington's army, five days previously to the battle of Talavera, where he had the honour of commanding the 61st regiment, which, by his Lordship's orders, was particularly mentioned for its gallantry on that occasion. Being soon after this memorable action attacked by a rheumatic complaint, he obtained leave to return to Lisbon, after which he had the honour of being appointed to Lord Wellington's staff, and from thence proceeded to England, when the rank of MajorGeneral was given to him the 4th of June, 1811.

William of Prussia, uncle to the King of Prussia.

15. At his residence near Gosport, after many years' severe illness, aged 72, Henry Garrett, esq., Vice-Admiral of the White. He was the son of Daniel Garrett, esq., of Portsmouth, and first went to sea in 1787, in the Hebe frigate, under that distinguished officer the late Admiral Sir E. Thornborough. He was made a lieutenant in 1793, and appointed to the Princess Royal, 98, the flag-ship of RearAdmiral Goodall, and during the occupation of Toulon served on shore with a party of seamen belonging to that ship. He commanded the Trial cutter as a Lieutenant, and was very successful off Havre. In 1798 he was made Commander in the Alecto fire-ship. In 1799 he had the Calypso. He got his post commission Sept. 16, 1799. In the year 1802 Captain Garrett commanded the Texel, 64, but was paid of at the peace of Amiens. In 1803 he commanded the Southampton district of Sea Fencibles; and for about three years he was in command of the Kent, Ville de Paris, and Royal Sovereign ships of the line. In 1808 he was appointed to the Victualling department at Deptford, and held it for twelve years. He was then transferred to the same department at Gosport, and also made Governor of Haslar Hospital, the two offices being combined; and he retained them until 1840, when he was promoted to be a retired flag officer.

16. Aged 91, Domenico Dragonetti, the eminent double-bass player in the Opera orchestra. This well-known instrumentalist and very singular character was the son of Pietro Dragonetti, a Venetian musician, and at an early age gave proof of possessing extraordinary ability-holding the situation of first double bass at the Opera Buffa, and at the Grand Opera Seria, while yet in his teens.

At the age

of twenty-four he was engaged for the Italian Opera in London, a connexion with which establishment he retained to the last. His physical command over the colossal instrument he played was enormous, his personal strength being of an unusual kind; and this, conjoined with his musical sensitiveness, exhibited a combination of requisites as yet unrivalled. His personal manners were eccentric, and his habits penurious. Anecdotes are plentifully told as to his personal traits and characteristics. His conversation was an unintelligible jargon of three or four tongues; for, although he resided in this

country considerably more than half a century, he did not speak the languageeither through inability to acquire it, or through the impulses of an affected oddity. He was childishly fond of dolls, a collection of which he had by him, dressed up in the costume of various nations; and instances are adduced of the waggish exemplifications of manual strength which he was prone to give-such as calling for pots of beer in public-houses, and crumpling up the pewter with his herculean gripe when he had drunk it. He has left behind him a curious assortment of musical instruments, among them an Amati double bass, which he has bequeathed to the chapel of St. Marco, at Venice. Dragonetti was a composer of no mean ability, and in early life the concertos and sonatos he wrote, to exhibit the hitherto unknown powers of the double bass, obtained great commendation.
