lent institutions for the benefit and improvement of mankind ; to such , particularly , as had a more immediate tendency to amend and reform the manners of the rising generation . His benevolence , at the same time , was extended to the poor arid indigent , for whose distresses he had a heart

to feel , and a hand ever ready to afford them a speedy and liberal relief . Great was the talent intrusted to him , and good the use he made of it ; so that , after a life thus spent , he may be truly said to have died full of days and of good works . Lately" at the College of Dublin

, , Dr . Vieyra , King ' sprofessorof Spanish and Italian , pie was a most worthy man , an excellent scholar , and had a perfect knowledgeofalmost every existing language . Having outlived all his family and most of his acquaintance , he spent his latter days almost in retirement ; but his name is well known

in the literary world . His Portuguese Dictionary is the best that has been published of that language . He' was bora at Estremor , in Portugal , I 7 I 2 > and , though certainly deserving of a better lot , met with various

calamities during his . whole life . His father had been taken up by the Inquisition , and a small estate he had of course seized . ' ' Dr . V . was sent to Padua , and thence to Rome , where he took the vows , and entered into , the order of Conventuales . Ganganelli ( afterwards Pope ) was in the

same convent wiih him ; and they , were , of course , well acquainted . The Doctor , after a residence of 20 years in Italy , got leave to return to Portugal , where he narrowly escaped the fate of his father , and was obliged to quit the country . After many extraordinary adventureshe settled in London

, , where he was patronized by the Chevalier Pinto . He got the appointment in Dublin-college many years ago . From the time he quilted the convent at Rome , he renounced the Roman Catholic religion . He had several children , who all died before him . The family of the late Provost and Lady

Moira were particularly kind to him . He wrote several volumes or . the derivation of words and names : had he spent half the time taken up in such uninteresting works , in writing memoirs of his life , he would have gained

more , and could have given the world some very curious and extraordinary anecdotes . *" Lately , at his house in Doverstreet , Piccadilly , aged 65 , Richard Warren , M . D . physician to his Majesty and the Prince of Wales . He died of spasms in his stomach , very

unexpeciedly , at a moment when Sir G . Baker and Dr . Pitcairn were most sanguine in their hopes of his recovery , and when the answers to enquiring friends were most favourable . His complaint had been a violent erysipelas , or St . Anthony's fire in his head . The public in general , as well as a

numerous family , will sustain an iireparable loss in the death of this able and acute physician , who had been many years at the head of the best practice in the metropolis . His eminence was not derived from patronage , from singularity of doctrine , from the arts of . shewy addressfrom any

ac-, cidental stroke of fortune , but was the fair and unblemished attainment of unparalleled talents . " His powers'of mind , his felicity of memory , that presented to him , on every occasion , the stores of know / edge , and ( he

solidity of judgment that directed their application to the particular case , would have equally enabled him to outstrip competition in " any other branch of human art . He was one of the fewgreat characters of the age whose popularity had nothing in it of partyfavour ; he enjoyed equally the

suffrages of all , and of his own profession , who were the best able to estimate his merits the moJt . He was the son of a dignified Clergyman at Cambridge , and brought up to the Church ; and was engaged as tutor to the only son of the late Dr . Peter Shawan eminent physician . The

, young Shaw shewing no turn for instruction , or regard for learning , his father taught the profession 10 his son ' s preceptor , and gave him also his only daughter and his fortune , and he immediately succeeded to his business . He is said to have received , in the course of one dayfees to the amount

, of 99 guinea ' s ; and to have died worth upwards of 150 . 000 I . ; and that he made 8000 I . a-year ever since the Regency . After this , who will say that the mantis aurea is not to the full as characteristic of the first English physicians as the
