    Trie & * . Hon . CIlATULES JAMES FOX . —Sorry indeed are we to have to record the death of this eminent patriot and able statesman , whose loss is a national one , and irreparaMe . The disorder that deprived us of this great man was the dropsy , -brought on by the anxieties and labours of his ' office . His

    death > vas expected some days before it took place ; btit the shock which it gave the public-mind is not to be described . Kvery man looked wj > to Mr , Fox as his friend and father , and in him every one has sustained ,. so to speak , a personal loss , lie breathed his last at the Duke of J > e-Y € > nshire * s seat , Chiswicft , attended b y Mrs , Fox and I , ord Holland , at half

    past five o ' clock in the afternoon , of Saturday , September 13 . The task , and a painful one it is * of drawing the outline of his history and character , we reserve to our next number . JLokb THURLOW . — -This nobleman departed this life Sept . iz , in the 71 st year of his age . Hrs father , the Rev .

    Thomas Thurlow , was a respectable "clergyman of Ashfiteld , in Suffolk . His being descended from Secretary Thurlow has been -generally believed by the public ; but such a matter was a frequent subject of mirth to himself , and

    therefore we presume is not to be believed by us . After remaining some time .-at Gumbridge , which the vivacity of his conduct obliged him to leave , he came to London to pursue the profession of tlie J * w , with whoae studies he blended the

    gay and sensual amusements , of the metropolis . He was called to the bar in r , saxd rose into provisional xxettcr

    by a circumstance which is not generally known . Sir Fletcher Norton * ( at that time , and perhaps at any time , the first nisi prius lawyer ) , who not only made the Bar but the Bench tremble , was , in a solemn argument , opposed , beat down , and overpowered by the manly resolution and intrepid spirit of

    the youfog lawyer . This circumstance made a great noise at the time ; and his provvess rendered him an object not only of applause but of wonder , Indeecl it was a principle of his early life , that to act with confidence was to' win regard , and to display courage was half the battle . He pursued this notion , as it

    might serve his purpose , ± 0 the end of his days . The able manner in which he pleaded the Douglas cause obtained him the silk gown . He v . £ s certainly one of the ablest lawyers of the' age in which he lived , and reached the highest honour

    of his profession . He -was , in Majf 1770 , appointed Solicitor Ceheral , / and in 17 71 Attorney G-eneraL In June 1778 he was created a Peer , and next day was constituted JLrOr « l High Chancellor of Great Britam .- - He resigned the Seals on the entrance of th ^ Coal iuoiY
