A. and chaplain of the Tower, thot himself, with a mufquetoon ftrongly charged, at his house on the parade in that fortrefs. He had in the morning waited on the governor to requeft his permiflion of abíence from chapel that day, on account of indifpofition; which was granted, under circumstances of polite and even of kind confideration. No immediate caufe feems to have infti gated the act. The conduct of the unfortunate gentleman was ever marked by much eccentricity and abstraction of mind, tinctured with a confiderable portion of melancholy; but, latterly, it appeared to his friends to have taken a more ferious and apprehenfive form. His inoffenfive manners and polite acquirements had gained him efteem in a most refpectable circle of relations and acquaintance; and he was known as the author of fome Light literary compofitions, and recently of a short heroic poem. In the filter arts of mufic and painting, he was generally confidered as a fuccessful amateur.-Colonel about the room, and fome had penetrated the ceiling. The Jury, without hesitation, brought in a verdict of Lunacy.-Mr. T. - was of Trinity college, Oxford, M.A. 1778, and fellow 'curate to the Rev. Martin Stafford Smith, rector of Fladbury, Worc. where he compiled "The Hiftory and Antiquities of the Abbey and Borough of Evefham, 1794," fuggefted by a defign of fome other perfon to publifh a sketch thereon, to which he engaged to write a preface, which gradually induced him to take upon him the entire conducting of the work, which grew upon his hands to the bulk of a 4to volume, in confequence of which he was elected F. A. S. See our vol. LXIV. P. 836. He had publifhed, in 1791, Juvenile Excurfions in Literature and Criticisms," a 12mo vol. which does him confiderable credit as a polite scholar. He has, fince that time, written "Plain lets; and, this year, "The Evils and Advantages of Genius contrafted, a Poetical Effay, in Three Cantos, in Blank Verfe." He was prefented to the rectory of Wallingford, co. Norfolk, in the gift of Mr. Coke; and was appointed chaplain to the Tower on the refignation of Mr. Grofe. 17 Marianne, eldest daughter of Sir Edward Winnington, bart. of Stanford-court, co. Worcester. The latest Baronetage, published in June, 1804, takes no notice of Sir Edward's two fons and two daughters, mentioned by Dr. Nafh, in his pedigree of the family, 1772, in Hift. of Worcestersh. Smith, major of the Tower, ftated to the Coroner's Jury, that on the morning he was waited on by the deceased, to requeft leave of abfence. He complained much of an indifpofition, which he defcribed as a moft unaccountable fenfation, fuch as he had never before experienced. He chiefly complained of a great depreffion of fpirits, and an unquenchable thirst; and faid he was going to the country, which, he was fure, would be of great ufe to him. The Colonel defcribed him as a man of the moft exemplary piety, amiable manners, and upright principles. He was an affectionate husband, and a fincere friend, efteemed and refpected by a large circle of friends and relations; he was not more beloved for his private character, than admired for thofe elegant acquirements which always grace the gentleman. He was about 50 years of age, and had been five years chaplain to the Tower. The Colonel fur-Truth in a plain Drefs," and fix pamphther faid, that a most scandalous and malicious mifreprefentation of the caufe of this melancholy catastrophe had been fpread abroad by fome ill-natured perfons, who imputed it to mifconduct on the part of Mrs. T.; a more grofs falfehood could not be imagined. She was a woman of the moft amiable difpofition and manners, and, in every refpect, of the most unimpeachable character. She and the deceafed lived together in the most cordial affection and harmony; nor were there the flighteft grounds for fuch vile infinuations. At the time this fhocking event took place, the was at her aunt's, about a mile from Exeter, which place he was to have fet out for, to join her on that day. A female fervant of the deceased stated, that the had obferved her mafter much agitated on that morning; he committed many inconfiftencies, and talked very incoherently; he went out, and returned very frequently in the courfe of the morning. He was to have fet out for the country after dinner, and had his clothes packed up for that purpofe; the carriage was in waiting; and while the dinner was preparing, about half past two, he went up to his bed-cham. ber; fhortly after the heard the report of a piftol, but as no one was in the house at the time, but herself, fhe waited till fome perfon came in. They proceeded to the room, where they found the body lying contracted on the floor; the fcull, from the top of the nofé to the back part of the head, was entirely blown off, and the fragments of bone and brains were scattered to the extremities of the room. When the Jury went to examine the body, the pistol was difcovered on the hearth, at a confiderable distance from the body; it was what is generally termed a mufquetoon, the barrel made of brafs, and shaped like a blan derbufs; it had been heavily charged with Rogs, a number of which were found 18. At Burbage, co. Leicester, in his 76th year, Mr. Richard Forryan. 19. At the house of Mr. Fox, in Arlingtor-itreet, after a long illness, endured with patience and piety, which baffled all the powers of the medical art, and rendered ultimately fruitlefs the conftant tendernefs of an affectionate and afflicted family, William Dixon, Lord Bishop of Downe and Connor nineteen years, having been promoted to it 1785. Dr. D. went through his academic exercifes with great credit., and was an elegant fcholar. If his nam tural modefty had not, in a great degree, kept his mind from expanding itself, his understanding and cultivation were capable of great things. Nothing could be executed with more happiness than his ready, eloquent, and energetic answer to the late Earl of Clare, in the Irish House of Lords, upon a subject unexpectedly ftarted upon him by that Noble Perfon. is hardly poffible to conceive any man to be more, what is underflood by the word, amiable, than the late Bfhop of Downej and it is affuredly impoffible for any man to be more beloved than he was. There was a charm in his manners; and the gentleness of his domeftic life was exemplified in the difcharge of his ecclefiaftical and political functions, All religious denominations, regarded regarded him with the profoundeft admiration. From that poifon of focial life; from that eternal curfe upon Ireland, religious intolerance; that fatal frenzy, which makes that miferable country be devoured, like the pelican, by her own offspring, never was mortal more free than was this virtuous Prelate. The rare fortune was his, to be Bishop of the Diocefe in which he was born, and to contradict, in his own perfon, the popular maxim, "that no man can be a prophet in his own country;" for, throughout his district, there was not a man, whatever his mode of faith, who did not revere this admirable person, excepting the remorseless bigot, the difciple of the fire and the faggot, of the whip, the picket, and the torture. The friendship between Mr. Fox and the Bishop of Downe began with their studies at Eton; and lasted to the close of the prelate's life. There, too, commenced, and in like manner continued, the Bishop's indiffoluble connexion with most of Mr. Fox's nearest friends, of whom one, and one who bears many resemblances to his departed friend, Lord Robert Spencer, is the Bishop's executor. He was a cotemporary at Eaton with Mr. Fox, Lord Robert Spencer, Mr. Hare, &c. and owed his promotion to the prelacy to the former, being the only Bishop made under his Administration. He married Mifs Symmes, a lady every way deferving, from her fweetness of temper, and elegance of man ners, of the bleffing of fuch a mate. By her he had fix children. Two of his fons are Field Officers in the army, and the two eldest daughters (not long introduced to the polite world) are diftinguished by the fuperiority of their mental and perfonal accomplishments. In his 63d year, Mr. Mathews, many years a very refpectable bookfeller and vender of medicines in the Strand, and father of Mr. Mathews, of Drury-lane theatre. He was alfo a lay-preacher in a chapel of his own at Whetstone. At his houfe in Wells-ftreet, in his 85th year, John Woodyer, efq. formerly an emiment book feller at Cambridge. As a man of extenfive knowledge, placid difpofition, and great probity, his memory will ever be refpected by all who knew him. 20. At Gelligron, co. Glamorgan, the Rev. Jofiah Rees, father of Mr. R. bookfeller, in Paternofter-row. 21. At the houfe of her brother, the Rev. I. H. Bromby, of Hull, aged 24, the wife of W. M. Willett, efq. late of Rushford-hall, co.
