He was then in the vigour of his health-in the full flow of spirits, the flower of his years, and looked forward with a confidence little short of certainty to the attainment of an advanced and honourable age. His death is supposed to have arisen from the bursting of a blood vessel. Well might it be said To life and power, how near allied is death, The utmost distance but a gasp of breath. He has left four daughters, the eldest of whom succeeds to his titles and estates. The present Countess is married to a respectable man, a gardener in the New Road, whose name she bore, dropping the term of Lady, to which, by courtesy, she was entitled as an Earl's daughter; and she and her husband have always enjoyed the most perfect felicity in their humble condition.

The late George Samuel Wegg, esq. of Acton, in the county of Middlesex, was born in the parish of St. George, Bloomsbury, in the year 1749, and died at Acton, on the 21st of January, 1817, aged 67. After passing through the usual course of academical education, at Christ's college, Cambridge, he was called to the Bar, and became, and continued till his death, a bencher of the hon. society of Gray's Inn. He was a truly loyal subject, and firmly attached to the existing constitution both in church and state: an honest and impartial magistrate, fair and upright in all his dealings, and uniformly scrupulous in a rigid adherence to truth and justice both in principle and practice, and exemplary in a strict, but unostentatious performance of all religious duties public and private. A zealous promoter of charitable institutions, as well by the liberality of his contributions, as by his personal assistance. Of his private charities little more is known than that they were numerous and extensive; he was a kind and indulgent master, a candid, conciliating, benevolent, and hospitable neighbour, a most affectionate brother, and a sincere friend. The blessed effect of a life so spent was most happily and peculiarly exemplified in its termination: in the midst of health, apparently unbroken, and with scarce anv perceptible symptoms of the internal disease which soon proved fatal, he received the unexpected information of his immediate danger with a calm composure, which nothing but a constant state of preparation for the last awful change could ever have inspired'; and waited for his approaching dissolution with a tranquillity and resignation truly Christian recollecting with bumility, but with comfort, his uniform endeavours to discharge his duty, and expressing a confident hope, that through the merits of his Redeemer he may be finally accepted at the throne of grace. After the short interval of three days, exempt from pain both of body and mind, he resigned his breath without a pang or struggle, as if he were sinking into the repose of sleep. Thus terminated a life which every man should try to live, by a death which every man would wish to die. AMICUS. METEOROLOGICAL TABLE for February, 1817. By W. CARY, Strand.
