Friday last died, the Right Hon. CHARLES MAR. I '
SHAM, Earl of Romney, Viscount Marsham of the
Mote, and Baron Romney. His Lordship was born
in the year 1744, and in 1776, married the Right
Hpn. Lady Fit NNCES WYNDHAM, daughter of the late
Earl of EGREMON7', by whom he has left one son and
three daughters. Soon after he came of age, he was
chosen one of the Representatives of Maidstone in
Parliament, and at the next General Election, he
was sent as one of the Knights of the Shire for the
county of Kent ; an honour which he retained nearly
20 years. Upon the death of his venerable father, in
1793, he succeeded to the Barony of Romney. le
was soon after appointed Lord Lieutenant of the
County of Kent, in which capacity he had the honour
of entertaining his Sovereign and his family, and all
the volunteers of Kent, with the most liberal and
splendid hospitality. his Lordship was also Presi-
dent of the Marine Society, the, Society fur the Dis-
charge of Persons confined for Small Debts, and the
Marine Bathing Infirmary at Margate.
This morning, at six o'clock, Mr. SHEWARD started
f,om Hyde Park Corner, to perform his journey of
15 miles in 50 minutes, to drive four-in.hand with a
carriage, for a wager of 1000 guineas.—The road
was crowded with spectators of every description ;
and the Charioteer was so impeded in his progress,
that he lost his wager by four minutes and a half.
Tuesday se'nnight, Charlet Duin, Esq. late Inspec-
tor-General
of the Linen hall Establishment, Dublin,
was tried at the Commission before Lord NOIIIIIURY,
Baron GEORGE, and a respectable Jury, upon an in-'
dictment of two counts ; the first for receiving money
upon false pretences, and the second for a fraud com-
mitted upon the Linen-hall Fund. The proofs con-
sisted in his having made false returns of the sums of
money paid by him to the amount of about €9o.
The trial lasted from an early hour until past seven
in the evening. He was fuund guilty upon both
, counts. .

Saturday, at Dublin, Mr. Waikr arc was again
tried (the last prosecution having failed by a literal
error in the form of the indictment), for a seditious
libel, tending to asperse the 'Government, and to de-
stroy the connec:ion of Great Britain and Ireland by
French assistance. The Jury, without leaving the
box, found him guilty. He was sentenced to one
year's impriionment, and to stand in the pillory on
Saturday the 9th instant.
