Aged 102, Mrs. Dight, wife of William D. She had been married upwards of bo years, and her husband, a carpenter, is now alive, aged 84. fufficiently promoted; and, on the third day from the acceffion of this acute illness, the died. During the whole of this fevere indif pofition, he behaved with a magnanimity of mind, with a happy and chearful compofure, which could only attend a foul conscious of reétitude. No fymptom of defpondency, no inquietude of any kind, ever appeared: even when the cold hand of death was upon her, when he was entirely fenfible of her fate, the never betrayed any reluctance, and, happy in herself, endeavoured to her latest breath to communicate comfort to her friends; and no friends ever thewed more affection, or were more induftrious to adminifter to her wants. Mrs. R. was a woman of great natural understanding, which she had much improved by reading and converfation. As a companion, he was mild, fenfible, and agreeable; and had a furprising knowledge and recollection of paft times and circumstances, with which the often entertained her friends, who always heard her with the greatest pleasure and admiration. Indeed, few people of her age poffefled fo retentive a memory: what he had once heard, the hardly ever forgot; and her happy recollection frequently gave pleasure to inquifitive friends in the elucidation of various matters. She was charitable, generous, and humane; beloved by all who knew her; and, by her more intimate friends, perhaps no woman was ever more highly efteemed. It may be truly faid, that the lived a pattern of propriety, and died with the happy compofure of a good Chriftian. 2. At Cann-hall, Bridgenorth, in her 72d year, Mrs. Rhodes. She had been very ill only a few days, though the foundation of her difeafe may be faid to have been long made by a chronical catarrh, from which the had fuffered for a month or more. It was fuppofed that a confiderable congeftion had taken place in the lungs, as her expectoration had not been equal to that increafed fecretion. Her attack of the paeumonia, or pleurify, which was the caufe of her death, was very fudden and alarming She was taken in the night with a violent ftitch in the fide; a fhort, dry, tickling cough; a dyspnea, and fever. The cough was fomewhat moderated for a time by an emollient medicine; and it was propofed that the fhould be blooded at the arm; but he had an aversion to the ule of the lancet, though the confented to the application of leeches, by which a confiderable quanti y was taken away. After bleeding, her phyfician thought it neceffary to adminif fer an emetic, or at leaft an antimonial medicine in naufeating doles, with a view to its renewing the expectoration, which was now 3. In the bofom of his family, at Goldfuppreffed. She confented; and three dofes weil, near Newbury, Francis Page, efq. after were adminiftered, which, though they a painful rheumatic illness of about ten days. brought on no vomiting efforts, had fuch a fe- When tomentations had in a great measure dative effect upon the fyftem, as produced a relieved him from thefe complaints, cordials selaxation that nearly coft her her life. An were adminiftered, but in vain, to keep up abfolu e coltnefs of the extremities fuper- his decaying fpirits. A phyfician (his nexc vened, with cold fweats, a weak and inter-relation) travelled from Londen to attend. mitting pulle, and coma. In this fiate fe continued more than half an hour, and from which no perfon who faw her ever expected fhe could recover; when, at length, nature dictated that remedy to which the owed the remainder of her life. In a feeble and faultering voice the fpoke, what at that time was confidered as the language of delirium, have you no trong drink in the house?' Her attendants immediately gave her a glass of port wior, which after repeated efforts the wal lowed. In a few minutes her breathing became more frong, her extremities warmer, and her pulfe quicker and fuller, than before. In about a quarter of an hour, her natural beat was nearly reftored, he began to converfe, and confidered herself much refreshed from what the fuppofed had been only a ftate of dozing. She now asked for a cup of tea; and tea being made for the family, the partook as ufuals with them. But this recovery, however flattering, was not to continue long. The expectoration, which was indifpenfible so the folution of her difeafe, could not be him, and found that life would not fay with him, The frame of this excellent perfon feemed to promile flrength for a longer du ration; but who can tell when the lamp of Lfe is near its lat blaze? Nature in him feemed to be worn out at the early period of fixty-five. His acquaintance imagine, and fo he believed himielt, that he never recovered from the fatigue of mind and perfon he underwent whilst he continued in London the last unhealthy fpring, when foliciting on fome county or canal matters he had very much at heart. He gave up his time to much on his return home, that he loft the beneficial feafon of Cheltenham, where he annually paffed a month in drinking the waters. For the restoration of his health and fpirits, he was preparing himfelf to enjoy the air and relaxations of Brighthelmftone, if the Lord of Life had permitted it. He left a great fortune behind him, which was all of his own getting in the courfe of forty years. He purchafed all the hares, and became proprietor, of the Kennet River Navigation to Reading, 3 which which yielded him a great income. He was buried, by day-light, on the roth, at Speen, From his leat at Goldwell, where he died, and where he had lived fone years. He took great delight in his villa, which he adorned and fitted up in good tafte, and at a great expence, and which is one of the mcft delightful fituations in England. The poor and middling ranks have lost a friend, and the rich an able adviser. He gave away a great deal of money, and leat, for the accommodation of particulars, large as well as fmall fums on very lender fecurities. He may be called, though the language is not new, and has been partly appropriated, "the great private man of Berkshne." Let his faults, if he had any, be depofited in the grave with him! 4.

This morning, about ten o'clock, a gentleman in a hackney-coach came to the shop of Mr. Richards, gun-maker, in the Strand, and, having purchafed a pair of piftols, loaded one of them, and went into the parlour with it. This alarming the family, Mr. R. followed him, remonstrated on the impropriety of trying the piftols there, and begged he would go below, where there was a place for that purpose. The gentleman, with fome agitation, faid there was no ball in it; but M. R. infifted on his not firing it and took hold of his arm to prevent it.-Upon this they both returned into the shop; and, while Mr. R. turned round to fhut the parlour door, the unfortunate man applied the pistol to his mouth, fired it, and inftantly fell. Mr. Thompton, a furgeon, was immediately fenc for, who found him quite dead, the ball havying penetrated his brain. His pockets were then fearched, but there was nothing found that could lead to a difcovery of his name. A fervant, however, paffing, and feeing a crowd, enquired what was the matter; being informed that a gentleman had shot himself, he exclaimed, "Good God, it is my mafter!" and, upon feeing the body, his fears were confirmed.
