THE LATE REY. SIR H. BATE DUDLEY, B ART .

This Gentleman who, for above half a century, has
been distinguished in the literary and political world,
died on the Ist instant, at Cheltenham, aged 78. His fa-
ther was a respectable clergyman at Chelmsford, in
Essex, by whom he was educated, and afterwards sent
to College. His first engagement in public or political
life was his establishing the Morning Post and Morning
Herald newspapers—the latter in 1780, the former a
few years pre►ious. He also commenced the Courier 1
de (Europe, printed in French, and the English
Chronicle. Of the Morning Herald he was for many
years sole proprietor, and he supported the paper with
extraordinary success, by his wit and versatility of
talent. To the Probationary Odes and the Rolliad, which
at that time drew universal attention, he contributed
largely ; and wrote entirely the Vortigern and Rowena,
a satirical work, pourtraying, with admirable spirit,
and in the diction of Shakspeare, the characters of all
the eminent persons of that day. This appeared at
the time of Ireland's forgery. In the time of Mr.
Garrick he produced the opera of the Rival Candi-
dates at Drury-lane Theatre, and afterwards the
Blaskamoor washed nue, which, in consequence of
party spirit running so high at that period, caused a
contest among the audience, with drawn swords, upon
the stage itself. He was the author of the operas of The
Flitch of Bacon, and The Woodman, which will continue
to be favourites as long as the English stage is inexistence.
The former was written for the Haymarket Theatre, for
the purpose of introducing his friend Shield, as a com-
poser, to the Public. The rest of his dramatic works are
The Travellers in Switzerland, and At Home, a bagatelle
produced about ten years ago. As a Magistrate, he
was most active and vigilant. By his promptitude and
personal courage he suppressed the riots at Ely at the
time of the Corn Bill, rushing into the room where the
(conspirators were in deliberation, and with the help of
a few followers securing the ringleaders, notwithstand-
ing the rioters were armed, and fired at him. He re-
ceived, in consequence, a handsome piece of plate, pre-
sented by the county. He performed a variety of other
acts as a Magistrate equally laudable, and was no less
strict in the observance of his clerical duties. He was
the proprietor of the perpetual advowson of Bradwell
near the Sea, which he had himself created from a de-
serted marsh, taking large portions of the land from the
sea, and expending an ample fortune in general im-
provements. He was at one period Rector of Kilcoran,
and Chancellor of the Diocese of Ferns, is Ireland, and
afterwards Rector of Willingham, in Cambridgeshire
(where he succeeded the present Bishop of Chester), and
one of the Prebendaries of Ely.
To Sir Henry Dudley the country is, in a great mea-
sure, indebted for one of its ornaments—Gainsborough.
His patronage of this excellent painter in early life
principally contributed to his subsequent success. He
was also the patron of De Lolme, who wrote the work
upon the Constitution; and of every man of merit who
needed and solicited his assistance. Sir Henry was the
intimate friend of Garrick, of the Earl of Sandwich (who
patronised Captain Cook), of the Elder Colman, of Cum-
berland, of Bonnel Thornton, of Mrs. Cowley, and the
associate of all the wits of his day. He first discovered
the merits of Mrs. Siddons, who was then performing in
a barn at Cheltenham, and mentioned her to Garrick,
who commissioned him to engage her, leaving the sa-
lary to his discretion.
A love of enterprise was the main-spring of his ac-
tions through life, which necessarily subjected him to
some varieties of fortune and situation; but in every
circumstance he was a gentleman of polished manners,
and the most liberal feelings.

FIRS.—A fire was discovered breaking out on Satur- I
day, at twelve o'clock at noon, in the extensive
wine vaults of Mr. Edwards, wine merchant, adjoining
the Honourable East India Company's warehouse,
Crutched-friars. Prompt assistance was soon given by
three of the Company's engines repairing to the spot,
which extinguished the flames, but not till after much
damage had been done.
CAUTION.—BEARS' GREASE.--J. ATKINSON, Impot.
ter of the Genuine BEARS' GREASE, respectfully cau-
tions the Public against numerous Counterfeits of the above Ar-
ticle ; many of these Counterfeits are sold as low as is. and are
only lard, marrow, &c. and some are very injurious to the Hair.—
The Genuine of his importation has a Bear printed on the top of the
pot, and a printed Bill round the pot with his Signature and Address.
—The high estimation this Article has long held for the Growth
of Hair, and the remarks of a celebrated Modern Lecturer on
Physiology, that " BEARS' GREASE from the Animal in its
native climate possesses very remarkable properties for regene-
rating the Hair supersedes the necessity of further remark.—
J. Atkinson will' only add that this is a genuine article, which he
regularly receives once in six or eight weeks from his Correspon-
t
Su dents in Russia. It is of the very finest finality, and very pleasanld
for dressing the Hair, making it beautifully soft and glossy.
