•`-ADELL, Esq. Aldeiniwo of London—a Gentleman
2ost truly endeared to a very eitenSiie circle of
t'trends, who will long and deeply feel hii.lods.—
m-r• CADELL, in the year 1765, became a part-
ner withi and in 1761 succeeded in business,
as a Bookseller, Mr. ANDREW MII/LAR in the
.Strand ; and was the first who distinguished
himself by remunerating literary talent with a
liberality proportionate to its merit. In him,
ntlh4r., ROBERTSON, BLAIR, GIDUON, HENRY,
AtICHAN, BURNE, BLACtisTONE, and other excel-
lent Authors, found their wst MJECENAS; and the
astonishing suticess of their produ&ions, purchased
by„, him at prit. unexampled in the History of
COPY-right, *lt the strongest evidence of the
Soundness of his judgment. Having risen to the
head of his profession, Mr. CADELL retired from
trade in the full possession-of his faculties, and with
Ito ample fortune, the sole and satisfactory fruits of
trnremitted diligence, spirit, and integrity ; leaving
the business which he had established as the first in
Great Britain, and perhaps in Europe, to his only
Son and Mr. DAVIES. Accustomed, however, from
& early its,• to an active life, he with a laudable
ambition sought, and most honourably obtained,
a seat in the Magistracy of the City of Lon.
dot, ; being, in the year 1798, unanimously
elected to succeed Wit.t,rAm GILL, Esq.. as Al-
derman of Wilbrook Ward : in the discharge of the
duties of which situation, as well as of that
of Sheriff (which he served at a critical period,
when Party ran high, in the year 0300), he was
eminently chara&erised by the independence of his
PrincipleS, the re&itude of his judgment, the good_
tress of his heart, the benevolence of his disposition,
ani the urbanity. of his manners. Whether consi-
dered in his magisterial charader, or in the more
• retired walks of domestic or social life, few men
'could be named, so well deserVing of private vene-
ration or public esteem.
Sir Wm. CURTIS has for some time been severely
attacked by the gout, and having ventured down to
the House of Commons one day last week, caught a
Violent cold, which has since endangered his life.
Qo'Sunday he was so ill that little hope was enter-
tained of his recovery ; but we are happy to state,
tilat although he was, in the course of yesterday, in
a "ate of delirium, from the effetti of the disorder,
at night he. was considered by his Physicians much
better, and great hopes are now entertained that
the, worthy Alderman will recover. .
The contest for the Vacancy in the direetion of
the East India Company' has been conduflecl with
so much zeal, yet ,with so much liberality and can-
dour on all sides, that it holds forth a laudable ex-
ample to every illoritiov.
