On Friday the 1st instant, at Southpetherwin, near Launceston, Mrs. Elizabeth TURNER, widow, aged one hundred and ten years. On the 13th instant, in Somers' Town, London, John WOLCOT, Esq. M. D., the well-known Peter PINDAR, in the 81st year of his age. Dr. WOLCOT was born at Dodbrooke, near Kingsbridge, in Devonshire, in the neighbourhood of which several members of his very respectable family have resided for a great number of years. In early life, he went into Cornwall and commenced the practice of medicine, but, it seems, not with any very eminent success, though his abilities were properly appreciated by those who were competent to form an opinion of them. In a short time he left his provincial practice for a honourable post in the suite of Governor TRELAWNEY when that gentleman went out to Jamaica. The Doctor's literary life is well-known to almost every class of readers. His talents were of the first order, but he degraded them, in a great measure, by personalities and looseness of language-his attacks upon the King will always call forth reprobation while domestic virtue and the royal character inspire respect. Satirical humour was his forte, and this quality rendered his works unprecedentedly popular, yet, to the man of taste and feeling, the tenderness and sublimity which he occasionally displayed, were infinitely more valuable than his sarcastic effusions. Though the Doctor long laboured under a lingering illness, which confined him to his bed, he did not suffer acute pain: he was attached to life, but he prepared to meet the expected stroke with firmness and resignation: he retained his natural humour to the last. Doctor WOLCOT, we are told, expressed a strong desire that his remains might be interred as near as possible to those of BUTLER, the celebrated author of Hudibras, in St. Paul's, Covent Garden. Sudden Demise of the Earl PAULET.-His Lordship, we regret to state, died at Hinton St. George, in Somersetshire, on Thursday se'nnight. The Noble Lord, on the preceding evening, had directed the horses to be put to the post chariot early in the next day. At five o'clock in the morning, the Countess was alarmed by the sudden indisposition of the Earl; he was seized with an apoplectic fit, and never spoke afterwards. His Lordship lingered until eleven at night, when he expired, in the 63rd year of his age. Captain and Mrs. PAULET and Lady Barnard were present at this trying scene. Lord Hinton is absent, making the grand tour. [The deceased was John POULETT, 4th Earl Poulett.] *** A Correspondent says,-"Mr. D. MURRAY, whose death you lately announced, was seized with a violent illness, bordering upon delirium, while returning from Carlisle market in the early part of his life, which confined him to his bed twenty-one years, without being moved, except while the bed was making. It is also worthy of remark, that the bed in which he lay, is said to have been the same in which Charles STUART slept, when that unfortunate Prince made his ill-advised and feeble attempt to regain the English crown."
