to purchase and to cook himself, in small pieces, as he wanted it, frequently keeping it till the smell became quite offensive tothe neighbourhood; and water was his constant beverage. He lived in the most filthy situation, the advice of relatives to a more orderly state availing nothing; and he must have long ago been entirely lost had it not been for the civil attention of a neighbour, whose care over him will not, we hope, pass unrewarded by those who suceeed to his property. He was a constant attendant at church, and almost crawled there for the last time on the Sunday afternoon before he died. His face and hands were black with dirt, and to any one sitting near him he was quite obnoxious. His wretched career terminated the following afternoon, when he was found dead in his chair.

At Thurnham, Kent, aged 82, Mr. Sam. Jones. His habits and manner of living were very curious and eccentric; and he was remarkable for his penurious economy. From the humble situation of a gentleman's coachman, he rose to the possession of a large fortune; and accumulated the sum of 27,0001. by denying himself the enjoyments of life, and by observing the most exact and rigid avarice through every day of his existence. By his will he has bequeathed his property to a number of poor relations, to whom, during his life, he paid no attention; but who, if he had been a man of liberal mind, with a heart as bountiful as his means, might have flourished in society in his presence, and have become the means of enlarging his pleasures and respectability. A niece, with a large family, to whom he left 2000 1. died at Maidstone on the 4th of May.

James Grey, a shepherd, in the service of Mr. Archbold, of Hetton. In the act of skinning a sheep which had died of disease (the thorter-ill), and was at the time in a state of putrescence, accidentally cut one of his fingers with the knife. The effect of the poisonous matter was astonishing. Going home in the evening, he complained to his wife that he had inoculated himself, and he already began to feel the bad consequences of it over all that side of his body on which the finger was cut." At 5 next morning medical assistance was sent for, but po kind of relief could be given; and with such rapidity did the morbific matter attack his system, that he became a corpse, in the highest degree of putridity, by 11 that day, being less than 24 hours from the introduction of the matter.

Aged 90, in St. George's Workhouse in the Borough, in very distressed cireumstances, Mr. Abraham Froud, one of the senior members of the Corporation of the City of New Sarum, and a staunch friend of the present Members for that city. He was one who had experienced the vicissitudes of fortune in a very great degree;

having been formerly a very eminent silkmercer at Salisbury, and carried on a very extensive and lucrative business in that line. By an imprudent second marriage he entered into an extravagant mode of living, which his business not being able to support, he became a bankrupt in 1778; and for the last 20 years he lived in the environs of London, ex.sting on the charity of some friends; having left his wife to the care of an eminent grocer at Salisbury, but who is since dead. Mr. Froud was a very liberal and inoffensive man; and in the days o his prosperity was very much respected by a large circle of acquaintanc

At Salisbury, in his 78th year, Mr. John Goodfellow, senior vestryman of St. Mar tin's church; whose modest, social, friendly, and affable behaviour, endeared him to all his acquaintance. He had for a long period, taught writing, accounts, &c. at ladies' boarding schools, and also in many of the most respectable families in the city, close, and neighbourhood; giv. ing generally satisfaction to his employers, as few excelled him in his profession.

At Southampton, owing to the bursting of a blood vessel, Miss Gordon: she died intestate, leaving behind her a property of 30001. per annum, which all goes from her family.

At his house at Ealing, of a fit of apoplexy, aged 53, Mr. John Freeborn. He, for many years, was principal manager of the business of the late Mr. Dodsley, of Pall-mall, where, during his leisure hours, he assiduously cultivated a natural taste for science in general, but more particularly mathematics and natural philosophy, in which he excelled. He possessed a strong vein of humour, which he occasionally indulged in epigrammatic composi tions; but the uniform benevolence of his heart ever prevented his satire from giving pain to individuals; and all who knew him can bear testimony to his unsullied inte grity.

At Berwick, aged 20, Mr. Andrew An. derson, cabinet-maker. His death was occasioned by his accidentally cutting his fingers severely with a chissel, while at work, which terminated in a locked jaw, of which he died in most excruciating pain.

At Newcastle, aged 60, Mr. William Temple, weaver, and of late years governor of All Saints poor-house. By uncom mon industry and perseverance, and by a close and regular application of the few hours of leisure afforded from a laborious occupation, he had acquired a familiar knowledge of the Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, and Greek languages, and with the various Eastern dialects, as well as the Latin, and some of the modern languages. The study of the original Scriptures was his ardent and unwearied pursuit, and few possessed qual talents for biblical criticism.

Mr. Firth resolved to make the best of his situation;-his first effort was to sell earthen-ware in small quantities, he afterwards visited the potteries of Staffordshire and Liverpool, and' some of the principal glass manufactories, by which he was enabled to increase his stock; and by persevering in an upright and punctual attention to business, and by a suavity of manners, which he possessed in an eminent degree, he gained the love and esteem of all who knew him.
