HONORABLE F. J. SHORE.-(Late Commissioner of Saugor and the Nerbuddah Territories). The Hon'ble Francis John Shore was in every respect an honor to the Bengal Civil Service, which he entered in 1818. He was the second son of the Rt. Hon. Lord Teignmouth, for many years and till his death, a member of the Board of Controul, but who is better known as Sir John Shore, Bart., the honest and able successor to be venerated Lord Cornwallis in the high office of Governor General of India, which he filled from 1793 till relieved by Lord Wellesley in 1798.

The Hon'ble Mr. F. J. Shore was an enthusiastic in his profession. From the beginning of his creditable career, and when young men of his service and at his age are not in general apt to think very deeply on the real nature and objects of their high vocation, he seized and through life clung to the doctrine, not then in vogue so much as at present, that the English hold India as a sacred trust for the benefit of the governed as well as of the governor.

The interest and benefit of the people among whom his lot was cast and over whom he was placed, may be said to have been his truly honorable ruling passion strong in death. Not content with evincing this by his practical love of justice, his zeal, courage, and singular activity in the discharge of his duty in Civil, and we might indeed add in Military, employment, he devoted the scarce leisure of some of the last years of his valuable life to the composition of a series of able and stirring letters, addressed to his great object of interesting his countrymen and fellow-servants in the fates and fortunes of the people of India, who are so dependent on the character of their rulers. These letters bore the signature of "* A Friend of India," and appeared in the "India Gazette" and, " Hurkara." They excited, as they deserved, much attention, in the very highest quarters; but the author could not be prevailed on to discover himself at the time by any temptation of professional reward, judging rightly that his secret, which was long and well kept, was the best safeguard for his own independence in the emission of opinions upon men and things which, however, they might be erroneous occasionally or unpalatable to men in power, were thoroughly honest, unrestrained, and could not be suspected of undue bias.

His remains were interred in the North Park Street Burial Ground and the following Inscription is taken from his Monument:

Sacred to the Memory of the Honorable Frederick John Shore,

2d son of the Rt. Hon'ble Lord Teignmouth, born 31st May 1799, died 29th May 1837.

ROBERT MCCLINTOCK, ESQ.

Mr. McClintock came to India in the year 1796, and soon after, we believe, entered on his career as a Merchant and Agent, as a partner in the house of Alexander and Co. We next find him as member of the firm of Macintosh, Fulton and McClintock; some time after which, he returned to England; and in the year 1813, sent out as a present, at the cost of about 10,000 Rupees, the handsome Chandelier and brass sconces which adorn the old Cathedral of St. John, of which he was for many years a Warden. After remaining in Europe for some time Mr. McClintock returned to India and established the house of McClintock, Morton and Co. which was unsuccessful, and involved the subject of this notice in difficulties, from which he never recovered. In private life, the deceased was a model of the Christian gentleman; mild, unassuming, meek, kind, liberal, and generous, yet methodical and shrewd. As a man of business his character was unimpeachable, and his memory will long be respected by those who had opportunities of knowing him, both in prosperity and adversity. The one did not unduly exalt, nor the other depress him, but in both he preserved that equable temperament which resulted from a mind strongly imbued with religious feeling and accommodating itself to all the dispensations to which it was subjected, in the course of a long, honourable, and useful life.

There was something very singular in his manners; a short time prior to his death, he proceeded, apparently in good health, but very infirm, to the Park Street Burial Ground and selected the spot which was shortly afterwards to be the receptacle of his remains, and ordered a Puckah Brick Vault to be built there; when that was done he went again to see the spot accompanied by his native molly, (gardener), whom he ordered to plant flowers round the grave; his next step was to call for a funeral card or notice of his intimate friend Mr. W. F. Clark, who died a few months previously, and a day or two afterwards sent for the minister, and after partaking of the rites of the holy sacrament, at his private residence in Chowringhee, the next day intelligence of his demise was received, and the funeral card before alluded to, was handed to the Undertaker, corrected in Mr. McClintock's own hand, to regulate his own funeral obsequies by.

The following inscription is inscribed on his monument

Sacred to the Memory of Robert McClintock, Esq. who died in Calcutta August 28th, 1836, aged 67 years.

WILLIAM AUGUSTUS BURKE, Esq. M. D.
The following inscription is inscribed on his monument :—
Sacred to the Memory of William Augustus Burke, Esq. M. D.

Inspector General of Hospitals of His Majesty's Forces in the East Indies, who departed this life

at Calcutta on the 22d day of May 1837, aged 68 years.

The long and distinguished services of Dr. Burke, whose life was principally passed in active duty in the foreign and Colonial possessions of Great Britain, merit a durable record, and it is to be regretted, that so few memorials remain of the high esteem in which he was deservedly held by the Governments under whom he served, and by all to whom he was known. He was upwards of 40 years in His Majesty's Service, as a Medical Officer of the regular army, and passed through every grade with

the highest distinction. He entered the Army as an Hospital Mate on the 13th Sept. 1795, and on the 29th Sept. of the same year was appointed Regimental Surgeon to the 37th Regt.-Apothecary to the forces on the 7th Sept. 1801,-Surgeon to the forces on the 12th Dec. 1802, and Deputy Inspector of Hospitals on the 19th July 1805. From this period until 1817, his career is unknown to the Registrar of the Supreme Court, who has thought it his duty not to permit services so valuable to his country to remain unnoticed on his Monument. On the 24th June 1817, he was appointed Physician General, and chief of the Medical Department in the Mauritius and its dependencies. On leaving that Island to proceed to Bengal, he received from the Members of the Civil Service of that Colony, a piece of plate with a suitable Inscription, commemorating the sense entertained by them of the urbanity, kindness, and talent by which he was so eminently distinguished. On the 5th October 1825, he was appointed Inspector General of Hospitals to His Majesty's Forces in the East Indies, in which eminent post he remained until his death. In the course of his long and arduous service in the last war, he was present at the capture of nearly all the French and Dutch Colonies in the West Indies and the continent of South America, and was engaged in various parts of the continent of Europe, in nearly all the early campaigns. He served in all parts of the Mediterranean; was long stationed at Gibraltar, and while there was specially deputed by General Ottara, the Governor, to attend the Emperor of Morocco as a Physician, and for that purpose visited his dominions. He was present at the capture of Bhurtpore by Lord Combermere, since which last event, the long peace which has reigned in British India afforded no occasion for the exercise of his more active energies in the field, and his labours were thenceforward devoted to the less brilliant but not less useful task of superintending the health of the Army, and by wise regulations alleviating the dangers of the climate.

He was a good man, and the Soldier's friend, and as a Military Physician his name deserves to be ranked with the most celebrated of his cotemporaries.

Sacred to the Memory of Mr. Edward Moseley, who departed this life on the 30th August 1812, aged 31 years and 5 months.

Here rest the remains of his sister, Mary Moore, wife of Robert Moore; she departed this life on the 7th August 1827, aged 56 years, 6 months and 28 days.

In her was every virtue.

Sacred to the Memory of
Henrietta Elizabeth Brown,

who departed this life on the 21st August 1838,
aged 27 years and 12 days.

Rest gentle Henrietta, rest in peace
Secured from vanity and noise,
For here thy earthly sorrows cease,

From hence commence thy heavenly joys.
Short was thy span, 'tis past, 'tis gone
Early thou reach'd'st th' appointed goal
Freed from its clogs, and upwards flown,
Angels received thy spotless soul.
Her ways were ways of tenderness,
And all her paths were content and peace;
Sleep soft in dust, await the Almighty's will,
Then rise unchang'd, and be an angel still.

of Lodge No. 1, True Friendship,

to deplore his loss.

A hapless widow rears to prove her love
And to record her tears.

'Tis mine on lasting marble to attest
How good thou wert myself how blest;
Yet for these virtues mercy will be shown,
What caused thy happiness caused my own.
Ah! Beaumont,

Thou tender and beloved husband, affectionate
And kind parent, a generous friend, respected
In life, how much regretted by the affectionate
Wife, farewell, blessed by thy remembrance.

Sacred to the Memory of Mrs. Mary Jacobi,
who departed this life 31st May 1819,
in the 55th year of her age.
To commemorate an affectionate wife and a
tender parent, this small tribute to
departed worth is raised by her children.

CUDBERT THORNHILL, ESQ.-(Late Master Attendant of the Port of Calcutta.) Mr. Thornhill died at Calcutta, on Thursday, the 21st September 1809, and in the 86th year of his age. He was resident in India some time before the taking of Calcutta by Surajah Dowlah in 1756. He was present during the greater part of that unfortunate scene ;-with several other Europeans he sought shelter in the English shipping, then at Fulta, and thus fortunately escaped the dreadful catastrophe of the Black Hole. Captain Thronhill had traded to almost every part of India, and at Judda, a port in the Red Sea, he became acquainted with Mr. Bruce, the celebrated Abyssinian Traveller, by whom he is honourably mentioned in his works. He was nominated Master Attendant in 1785, and held that appointment till April 1808. His remains were interred on the following evening, and were attended to the grave by a crowd of respectable mourners. The whole of the

Marine establishment attended the funeral, which was conducted with great decorum and good order. All the vessels in the harbour, both Foreign and British, joined the Honorable Company's Marine vessels, in lowering their colours half-mast, in token of respect to the memory of the deceased.

The following inscription is inscribed on his monument :—

To the Memory of Captain Cudbert Thornhill,

who for many years held the office of Master Attendant at this Port, and in the zealous discharge of the duties of that situation gave equal satisfaction to the Government and to the persons under his authority, who respected him for his virtues and were attached to him by experience of his amiable disposition and constant beneficence. It pleased God to bestow upon him a long life which was distinguished by exemplary piety and charity, and to remove him at the age of 6 years, from this transitory world in the full assurance that however unworthy in himself, he should through Christ his Redeemer be raised again from death to the blessings of eternity He died on the 21st September, A. D. 1809, esteemed, beloved and lamented

not only by his afflicted family and friends, but by all who had the happiness of knowing him. His unfeigned humility would not allow him to adopt the following words of the apostle Epis.

to the Phil. chap. 4, verse 9. But his children, who lived with him to the hour of his decease, may be allowed to use them in this memorial of their filial affection and reverence :— "Those things which ye have both learned and received and heard and seen in me, do, and the God of peace shall be with you."

Sacred to the Memory of

the late John Nathaniel Sealy, Esq.

of the Hon'ble Company's Civil Service; born on
the 2d day of May 1777, died on the 1st day
of November 1815, aged 38 years, 5
months and 29 days.

Also sacred to the Memory of his brother,
Major Charles Sealy,

of the H. C. Bengal Artillery, who was born on
the 13th of Oct. 1775, and died on the 29th
day of June 1820, between Nusseerabad
and Agra, on his way to Calcutta, aged 44 years,
8 months and 16 days.

Sacred to the Memory of W. H. Sealy, Esq. of the Bengal Civil Establishment, who was torn from the bosom of an afflicted family on the 25th of August 1800, in the 18th year of his age. Heaven which circumscribed his rising virtues was yet beneficent in its gift of them, granting to his mind capacity of knowledge; to his temper,

meekness; to his heart, benevolence, piety, and the warmest affections. These attributes, which adorned and animated the short period of his life, moulder not with these frail remains, but have still a living influence in the breast of all who knew him, and most in her's whose gratitude has raised this tributary pile to a loved nephew, and inscribes this feeble record of his virtues and her affections.

Sacred to the Memory of Robert Gregory, Esq

of the H. C. Civil Service, who departed this life on the 6th Dec. 1814, aged 60 years.

To the Memory of John Benson,
Obit. 5th July 1820, Æt. 66.

He was affable, modest, patient and resigned,
and 40 years merchant in India.

Here lies the body of George Parry, of the East India Company's Civil Establishment at Fort St. George, second son of Thomas Parry, Esq. of Bansted in Surry, who departed this life Aug. 10th 1801, aged 29 years.

Consecrated to the Memory of
Mrs. Mary Ann Wiltshire,
wife of Thomas Robinson Wiltshire,
born 30th Nov. 1800, died at Garden Reach,
on the 22d Sept. 1822, aged 21 years,
9 months and 23 days.

Yes! I must weep, tho' reason oft in vain,
Bids my fond heart its heaving sighs restrain,
And oft suggests to my afflicted mind

That earthly virtues, heavenly joys shall find.
Go then dear shade, thy just reward receive,
Faith birds me trust, tho' nature bids me
grieve;

I bow submissive to the will divine,
Mine is the sorrow, be the glory thine.

Consecrated to the Memory of Mary Ann, the infant daughter of Thomas Robinson and Mary Ann Wiltshire, born 27th Aug. and died at Garden Reach on the 7th August 1824, aged 1 year, 11 months and 11 days.

Sacred to the Memory of James Hay, Esq. of Collipriest in the County of Devon, who departed this life on the 12th of Oct. 1822, aged 52 years.
