W. MACKWORTH PRAED, ESQ. M.P.-With deep regret we announce the death, in the 37th year of his age, of Winthrop Mackworth Praed, Esq. M.P. The cause of his death was consumption. He was Conservative Member for Aylesbury, formerly Fellow of Trinity College, and Deputy High Steward of the University of Cambridge. He was the son of Mr. Serjeant Praed.

Mr. Praed's fame while at the University was perhaps greater than that of almost any other man; for, besides carrying away an unprecedented number of prizes, he was one of the greatest stars "the Union" has produced. In the year 1822, he gained two of Sir William Browne's gold medals, being those for the Greek Ode, and the Greek and Latin Epigrams. In 1823, he again obtained Sir Wm. Browne's medal for the Greek Ode, and the Chancellor's prize for the best English Poem, the subject for the latter being "Australia." In 1824, he again got the Browne medal for the Epigrams, and also the Chancellor's prize for his poem "Athens." He obtained the Seatonian prize in 1830. Mr. Praed took the degree of B.A. in 1825, being a Junior Optime, and coming out as the third in the Classical Tripos. He was elected Fellow of his College, and was called to the Bar. He went the Norfolk circuit, and was rapidly rising, till his parliamentary duties took him away from his profession. His political career has brought him much before the public, and had he lived the ordinary period allotted to man, we have no doubt he would have gone down to posterity as one of the great men of his day. As a statesman, his stores of knowledge of every kind, and his great industry, rendered him of great service to the party he espoused, while his oratory, clear, fervid, and impressive, joined with astonishing quickness of perception, rendered him most useful as a debater. In the year 1830, he was returned to Parliament for the borough of St. Germain's, and at the dissolution, in 1832, he contested the borough of St. Ives with Mr. Halse, who was returned; the numbers being, for Mr. Halse 272, and for Mr. Praed 223. Mr. Praed resumed his profession till 1835, when he was returned with Mr. J. Baring for Yarmouth, beating his Whig opponents by a majority of 88. In this year he married Ellen, the youngest daughter of the late Geo. Boyle, Esq., with whom it is said he had a considerable fortune; and when the Conservatives were in power, was appointed Secretary to the Board of Control. At the last election he was returned for the borough of Aylesbury, by a majority of 117 over Lord Nugent. In private life, the amiable qualities of Mr. Praed made him universally respected.
