H. HO WAR-15,ESQ.. OF CORBY.
We have this week the painful duty of recording the des.--.A
our highly valued and long-esteemed neighbour, Henry HoWei:Z
Esq., of Corby Castle, on Tuesday morning last, in the
year of his age.
Ore
Mr. Howard was born on the 2nd July, 1757, and was
eldest son of Philip Howard and Ann, daughter of 111,..
P
Witham, Esq., of Cliff, in the county of York. To tracs ';
lineage through a long line of ancestors, would be to enuoiet#
the families of the noblest and most venerated name
that adorn our English annals. The direct descent
the Corby branch of the Howard family is from Sir Fig'
„
cis Howard, second son of Lord William Howard...W:l;i;
monly called " Belted Will Howard") the celebrated wer;;
of the Western Marshes in the time of James the nit, ,"' J
son of Thomas, fourth Duke of Norfolk, and Elizabeth, th4l
daughter of Thomas Lord Deere, of the North, sister a,
_,,1
co-heir of George, the last Lord Dacre—the family of the
of Carlisle being, descended from the eldest son of the 551 u
pair. Mr. Howard was twice married ; first, in 1788, to Ma'
r,
ria' third daughter, and co-heiress of Andrew Lord Archer.
of Umberslade ; and secondly, in 1793, to Catherine MI:
the second daughter of Sir Richard Neave, of Dagnam Pahrer
in the County of Essexi Bart. His first lady died, With
infant daughter, in child-bed, Nov. 9, 1739 ; and to her 1110,
mory Mr. Howard erected a splendid marble mentiment,
Wetheral church, 'by Nollekins, said to be one of the sne"-if
pieces of sculpture by that artist. The second lady earv'v(i,
to mourn the loss of one of the most affectionate of busba,!
,t
At the period of Mr. Howard's birth, the penal laws agt?f,
the Catholics were in their full rigour, and, like most Cath
of his status, he was sent, at the proper age (in 1767,bthe
receive his education at the celebrated establishment 'Jr
English Benedictine Mornti s at Douay, and afterwards to the
University of Paris. We may here remark, as strongly eviaj
ing the altered state of the times, that, amongst the most vivi
of Mr. Howard's early recollections, was that of having seefl
the bleached heads tif some of the parties who took share io
the Rebellion of '45 stuck over the ancient gates of Cnrhale-
While at Vienna, Mr. Howard was treated with
vsuch Pet"
sonal kindness by the Empiess Maria Theresa. ,
Pori
On his return to England Mr. Howard took an active P-y
in the political movements of this county ; became a
of the celebrated Society called the " Friends of the. Pe°P °t'
in conjunction with the present Earl Grey, Charles '14114
Fox, and other distinguished leaders of the Whig i*rty
his name was amongst the first appended to the celebrated r
tition for Parliamentary Reform.
Mr. Howard was distinguished by his great love_ r f6rt.,xo
his successful cultivation of literature ; and his • kunel tt
both of ancient and modern languages was extensive.'"
,ipP
first appearance as an author was in some traoslationli„sr
verse from the German, and we have read, in mannecrir,,to
for we believe it was never published, his trail-
from the same language of the historical drama of "La°`
of Berlingen." He wrote .and published a treatise le
Light Infantry movements, which was, we believe, 011 Ci:,
t steemed amongst military men ; and in 1824 he publishet.iii •
" Remarks on the Erroneous Opinions entertained realiecti
the Catholic Religion" followed, in 1826, by his " Histogiet
References in support of the Catholic Religion"—also a, soli,'
of deep and varied research, and which materially tided
fixing public opinion in favour of Catholic Emancirti°4
His latter years have been prinepally occupied in collect',g
materials for his " Memorials of the Howard Family.'' a..!
which was printed for private circu'ation, and to which Ev,e,sto
made many valuable additions from the papers in the St ht
Paper-office, and other national record. It throws a near I;ear
upon many of the transactions of th'tt interesting portion.4'l,o°4'
annals, comprised in the 15th and 16th centuries. This
pt
has been frequently referred to by historical students, as on' is
great authority. Mr. Howard also contributed many vislel'
papers to the Antiquarian Society.
Mr. Howard leaves behind him four children—'oosea/
and two daughters. His eldest son, P. H. Howard,,
M.P. for this city, was born in Edinburgh, April 22, 14 p.
Catherine, born May, 22, 1802, married to the Ha; or
Stourton ; Emma Agnes, born November 5, 18,03, marriosv

INDEPENDEN

.CE of FOREIGN- nt
This point has been so well put by Mr. G. Thonific
that it is almost needless to quote further rema r e
show that the cry for independence is all a pretext
part of the landlords. At the same time, as the fl ►ll the
ing observations from the Brighton Guardian plat ote
question before the reader in another aspect, we '1
them :
de,
" On the second ground of making the natio
pendent of foreign supply, the people will ask w'aY,„ti
te'
alone, who have little or no advantage from tliis
at
pendence, should bear all the burthen ? Admitting
_jog
it be a good thing, why should it be achieved I.lr tu;ci by
the people's bread ? Why should it not be (tare° hi
lowering rents, by abating the rent-charge for wtitlle4jog
parcelling out the land in smaller portions, by piong'aer
up parks and putting an end to game preserves and loinwalks, by bringing the utmost extent of our owl' Rile,
into cultivation, and not allowing a single acre to liertea
for the pleasure of the landlords whim. can be &rived for
into arable or useful pasture ? We do not ccaitell,oer
commercial independence ; we are for extending -feet
merce as much as possible by making it perfectly dent
and for making all nations and all people dePer„l port
upon and friendly with one another ; nut we saY, - let
the principle of those who bawl for indepenclenee'o'
them show their sincerity by ploughing up theLt oie,,
parks—those of Goodwood, Petworth, and Knepp i-"rt,inft".
for example—by giving up their own rents and suPPvtor
the community with food so cheap and se abundant dot
it shall have no need to import it from abroad. 13I!t nadd
bawlers for independence show their sincerity, then:
triotism, and their justice, by throwing all the bur.!:, o:
which are necessary to attain their object on the bil_riod
the people, while they, for the sake of this vattnteu_ttir
dependence. will not give up a single hedge-row that ' '
be capable of harbouring a head of game."
We echo these remarks, and must tell the lando.lngi
that they will obtain no credit with society for ch?sir2...ir
the national independence as long as they preserve T
own parks, and on that pretext tax the people's bread ."

they will not surely forget my services. In Yu-Bang s
house they found a paper, entitled, Confession of Stead,
the Bart,arian.' From its contents, it is too evidant that
he was taken alive, and murdered by that infamous
wretch in a most horrible manner, as he boasted to the
Emperor of having cut him in small pieces. The fiend!
it make's one's blood run cold to think of it. AtChinhas
we found his head suspended on a pole, along with that
of the unfortunpte Comprador, who was taken last year
at Chusan. It reflects the utmost disgrace upon out;
authorities, that that man, who was in our employ, an
ought therefore to have had an Englishman's rights,sog
not demanded from the mandarins with Anstruthcr and
the other prisoners. Engaged in furnishing fresh meat
for our troops, he was taken prisoner. No means were,
adopted for procuring his release, and they permitted
him to remain behind, knowing, as every one did, that he
would meet a barbarous death. Think of that !"
