had received repeated warnings by the exceffive heat, which had more than once threatened fuch confequences.

Nov. 14. At Eaft hourne, a carter who had come with a team from Rye, to take away the theatrical luggage belonging to Meffrs. Jonas and Penley, looking after his horfes, received a kick on his head from one of them, that dafhed out his brains, although he was well acquainted with the vice of the animal, and had, in confequence, but a few minutes before he met the fatal accident, cautioned a ftranger in the ftable not to go near him.

Nov. 15. This day a poft-chaife was hired at the King's Arms Inn, in Salifbury, to go beyond Collingbourne. After fetting down his fare, the driver was returning at night towards Collingbourne, a dreary road, with which he was unacquainted, and it was fo dark as to make it impoffible to fee the road. Thus fituated, he unfortunately drove over a precipice, at the bottom of which he was found dead the next morning. The chaife was nearly broken to pieces, and the horfes fo much hurt as to render them nearly useless.

A poor woman named Gibbs, of Sheffield, paffing lately through Anglis-lane, Coventry, with her infant in her arms, fix months old, fell into the mill-dams, and both were drowned.

DOMESTIC OCCURRENCES.
Monday, November 3.

This night, about half-paft eight, an alarming fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Browne, of Luke-ftreet, Finfburyfquare, timber-merchant, which at one time threatened deftruction to the furrounding premifes.

Monday, November §.

This day the ufual Civic ceremonies took place. The different Companies proceeded by water to Weftminster Hall, where the new Lord Mayor, Sir W. Leighton, was fworn into office; and returned to Guildhall to dinner, where a banquet was ferved up with the ufual coftly abundance.

Burdett; Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Mellifh, &c. As the Proceffion by water paßled Hungerford Stairs, a boat containing 15 perfous was overfet, feveral of whom would have been drowned, but for the exertions of the watermen belonging to the Apothecaries Barge.

Wednesday, Nov. 12.

This day, two young perfons (fifters) were admitted into the Houfe at Cupersbridge, Lambeth, belonging to the Society called "THE REFUGE FOR THE DESTITUTE." They were the first objects received into the Houfe. They were reduced to very great diftrefs wholly, as it appears, by the neglect and cruelty, of others, and not from any misconduct of their own. Several perfons previoufly had been relieved from the funds of this very benevolent and national undertaking, for which the objects who receive immediate benefit of it, and the community at large, are indebted to the Rev. E. W. Whitaker, fon of the late Serjeant.

Sunday, Nov. 16,

Lord Valentia this evening attended Sir Jofeph Banks's Literary Converzation, when he exhibited to the Cognofcenti prefent feveral curious Oriental exotics, which he had collected in the courfe of his Afiatic refearches.

Anthony was dispatched there. On examination, he found the ftrong outer door had been broken open, alfo the inner one, which is made of folid mahogany, near 4 inches thick, and which coft 500l.; the veftry door was likewife broke open, and the iron cheft, in which the facramentplate is depofited, had been attempted, in which, as it was fuppofed, the villains broke their iron crow, as part of one was found near it, and there is no doubt but the plate was their object; they made off with two of the Minifter's furplices, the facrament linen, the gold fringe belonging to the pulpit, &c.

P. 780. Richard Jenkyns, efq. who died at his house at Wells, co, Somerfet, was a gentleman whom intellectual moral worth rendered dear to all who knew him.

Pp. 366, 880, 968. At the time of that mock trial which preceded the murder of Palm, the bookfeller of Nuremberg, the City affigned him a counsel, but this indulgence the Court abfolutely refused to allow. The trial lafted three days; for it was on the fourth day after his arrival at Brannau that he was fetched from his dungeon, placed in a cart, and conveyed bound to the parade. Here he was offered his liberty if he would name the author of the work he had publifhed ("Germany in the loweft State of Degradation"); but he magnanimoufly exclaimed, that "he would rather fuffer death." His eyes being then covered with a bandage, ten foldiers fired on a given fignal; unfortunately, he was not immediately dispatched, nor did he die till a foldier had charged again, and, approaching quite close to him, fired another ball through his head, Palm has left a widow and five children, in circumftances very inadequate to fupport them with decency. It is fo much the more to be wished that the fubfcrip. tion opened for them in many places may be ample. The Court had even the cruelty to adjudge the widow to pay the expences of the trial, which amounted to 700 gulden (about 751. fterling).

P. 871. Our remark on p. 782 is quite correct, except that the prefent dowager Lady Dacre is NOT "a Baronefs in her own right," that title (being a barony in fee) appertaining to Gertrude Brand, fister to the last Lord, who died, without iffue, July 4, 1704. Her Ladyfhip was married, April 20, 1771, to Thomas Brand, efq. of the Hoo, in Hertfordshire, who died Feb. 21, 1794, leaving two fons and a daught.

P. 887. William Cole,.D. D. chaplain to his Grace the Duke of Marlborough, prebendary of Weftminster, rector of Merfham, and vicar of Shoreham, both in the county of Kent, died Sept. 25, and his remains were privately interred, O&t. 4, in the North aile of Westminster Abbey. Dr. Cole greatly diftinguished himself at Eton amongst that famous conftellation of elegant scholars formed by the renowned Dr. Fofter, whofe favourite pupil he was efteemed to be. In that admirable feminary he difplayed the fame cftimable qualities that marked his maturer character. Of fimple manners, innocent, diffident, and unprefuming, he never obtruded his own judgment, but complied with the wifhes of others, unless fome important principle of morality or religion was at ftake; then, firm and undaunted, he refifted even the multitude with impetuous ardour; and, if he did not convince the

refractory, at least he overawed and vanquifhed by his unexpected and ftrenuous efforts. So at Eton, though he may be remembered as the conqueror in fome noted battles, he never folicited them, never offended, but merely exerted himfelf against aggreffors, whofe fancied fuperiority in age or ftrength yielded to his firmnefs in a contest. In 1773 he went off to a fcholarship at King's college, Cambridge; and he was, in due courfe of time, admitted a fellow, and took his B. A. and M. A, degrees regularly. The various prizes* he gained at Cambridge increased his reputation for claffical elegance, accuracy, and knowledge; but the unfortunate rupture of a blood-veffel on his lungs, whilft he was yet an undergraduate, checked ever afterwards any laborious application of his talents or attainments; for though, on being made a fellow of King's college, he was immediately folicited to return to Eton as an affiftant, which offer he accepted, with every profpect of fuccefs opening on him that could gratify his ardent hopes, his weak health made it foon neceflary for him to relinquish this exertion; and he was preferred, by the kind recommendation of the well-known Mr. Bryant, whofe affectionate friendship he always cultivated and retained, to the no lefs arduous and honourable, though lefs laborious, employment of fuperintending the claffical' ftudies of the prefent Marquis of Blandford, during the three last years of his education at Eton, and of beginning the first rudiments with the lamented and accomplished Lord Henry Spencer†, and experienced great delight in promoting and directing his tafte and talents for literature. Dr. Cole, having completed this agreeable undertaking, retired to his rectory of Merham, and, in his profeffional duties as a parish prieft, was equally indefatigable and exemplary, as well as in all the private and perfonal duties incum bent on him. Dr. C. married, in 1795, Mary, fecond daughter of the late Sir William Blackftone, by whom he left no

*Oratio de Ridiculo, &c. Dr. Cole's fuperior talents and exertions were acknowledged and rewarded by receiving. the first prize medal Sir William Brown's executors diftributed in the University of Cambridge.

+ Lord Henry Spencer died fuddenly at Berlin in 1795, where he was the refident Envoy from the British Court; and thus were plafted the fanguine hopes his illuftrious family and friends justly entertained that his well-directed talents and early promifes would add luftre to his noble Houfe, by fresh and diftinguished fervices to his King and Country. (See LXV. 618.)

iffue. He now enjoyed all the domeftic comforts that can refult from mutual efteem, confidence, and affection, which uniform confiftent tenderness and worth muft excite and animate; the feeming referve his innate modefty enveloped him in gave way at once when he difcerned marks of true regard for him, combined with habits and attainments congenial to his own mind; then he was eafy, free, communicative, and gave vent to a cheere ful, inoffenfive playfulness of temper, which fcarcely forfook him to the laft, having á confcience void of offence towards God and man; for he was early nurtured and inftructed in true Chriftian faith and piety by the venerable and learned Dr. Chapman, who foßtered and cultured his promiting abilities, and fmoothed his paffage through life, by beftowing on him the advantages of an Eton education. This act of Dr. Chapman's disinterested kindness was ever gratefully acknowledged; Dr. Cole fondly venerated his memory, as well as that of his exceltent and benevolent lady, from whom Dr. Cole experienced, in early infancy, tender affection and truly maternal care and folicitude for his future advancement in this world. With a conftitution enfeebled by fevere fhocks from repeated attacks of the fame complaint he endured at Cambridge, and which the calm ferenity of his mind in fome measure enabled him to ftruggle through at the critical moments of imminent danger, contented, religned, and thankful for the worldly bleffings he parfook of, he paffed his latter years in ftriving to love mercy, to do juftice, and to walk humbly before his God. The progrefs of difeafe at laft baffled all the means human kill, experience, and difinterested esteem, could devife for his refief, though powerfully affifted by the unremitted and anxious attentions of thofe devoted to him, who keenly feel and deplore their own lofs, but yet can rejoice in faith that his fufferings are now ended, and that a blamelefs and not unufeful life entitled him to the hopes and rewards promited to juft men made perfect. Dr. Cole wrote the elegant Latin expofitions in the fecond volume of the fplendid edi tion of the Duke of Marlborough's valua ble Collection of Gems. He published, alfo, a few occafional fermons.
