The turnpike-boufqat Witney, Oxford, fuffered from the ftorm of May 4. The chimney was beat down; the roof, on one fide, nearly trips off; an end-wall cracked from top to bo.com; and a confiderable aperture made in the folid wall in another place: the chain of the weighing engine, its wooden cafe, and trap-door, were torn to pieces, and all the windows, but one, forced out to a confiderable diftance. The gate-keeper, who was in bed at the time, was nearly foffocated, by the fulphureous Inell, but received no material injury.

June 12, A chaim, of confiderable length and depth, was made by the extraordinary great rains of latt winter, in the fide of Bredon-bill, Worcestershire, on the fule next Great Comberton.

P. 232. Sir Thomas Temple, of Stow, was created a baronet Nov. 25, 1612; his great grandfon, Sir Richard, viscount and baron of Cobham, died without iffoe, when the eftate went to his fifter, the Countess Temple, and the title to the heirmale, Sir William, who died 1760, and was fucceeded by his brother, and he, 1761, by his fon, Sir Richard T. of Hacknev, a commiffioner of the navy, who, in 1786, died without iffae, and was fucceeded, Nov. 15, 1786, by the late Sir John: but in what relation thefe latter baronets flood to each other, our correfpondent is not informed.

of

of his retired fentiments and partiality to collegiate habits, that it materially affected his mind. He complained of illness the evening before his death; and, when his bed-maker went to call him at a late hour in the morning, the found him lifeless in

his bed.

P. 397. Governor Ricketts was in all refpecs a very fuperior character. His unfallied integrity, zeal, and ability, in the difcharge of his public duties, had bighly and justly endeared him to the colony he commanded. The gentlemen of the navy and army, and other tranfien: refidents in Barbados, have in him loft a molt attentive and hofpitable friend. His mild temper, enlightened benevolence, and fafcinating manners, are deeply and permanently impreffed on the hearts of his numerons and refpectable connexions; and his nearest: relatives will in time feel, as the nobleft confolation, that nothing could exceed the rectitude of his life but the Chriftian for titude which foothed its decline and dignified its close.

P. 398, a. Mrs. Anne Lewis, wife of Mr. Thomas L. merchant, of Queen-treet, Cheapfide, was grand-daughter of Mr. Francis Noble, formerly bookfeller in Hol. born, who retiring from the fatigues of bufinefs to enjoy, at an advanced age, the comforts with which induftrious integrity had been rewarded, closed a respected life fome years fince at Kentish-town. With a gentleness of spirit that made obedience appear her most natural virtue, Mrs. Lewis was endowed with intellectual difcretion that rendered advice unneceffary, that arrefted command, that ftamped on her opinion the highest value, that made her decifion, to her friends, a law. Yet, unaffuming, the fought to fubunit while the was obeyed; the fought to learn while the inftructed; the fought to divert from herfelf to others the admiration the every where infpired. Conftant to the duties allotted her to perform, and miftrefs of all her inclinations, the objects of her withes were always juft, moderate, attainable.

Mr. Urban, Dublin, June 11. In p. 483 you tell us that Capt. Cookes, of the Romney fencibles, was furprifed and murdered by a marauding party of Orangemen, in the late unhappy rebellion. It is hardly to be imagined how many falfehoods and perverfions are crammed into these two lines. Capt. C. was killed at Old Kilcullen, in the county of Kildare, May 24, 1798, in the open day. He was under the immediate command of General Ralph Dundafs, and, by the General's order, charged tire rebels, at the

head of his troop, through the churchyard of Old Kilcullen. Whether from the difficulties of the place, encumbered with torabstones and mounds of earth, or from what other caufe it happened, but the charge was repelled, and both he and his fellow-captain (Erskine), with a quartermafter and 18 men, lost their lives, for the King's troops were defeated and obliged to retire to Naas. So much for the surprise. For what purpose the word Orangemen, with the prefixed epithet of marauding, is introduced, is not eafy to account. Had your correspondent known any thing of the fubject, you would have known that the Orangemen were loyal Proteftants, embodied in fungert of the Constitution, and forward to affift the King's troops; that by them the province of Ulfter was relcued from rebellion, and the city of Dublin in a great degree preferved from destruction; and that, with the most active and malignant enemies in rebels, and the favouters of rebels, no act of cruelty or diforder, even in thofe dreadful times, has ever been proved or charged against Them. NORMANNUS.

P. 484. Lady Caroline King was united, 1792, to Stephen Lord Mountcashel, and is refident at Moore- park, the feat of the Earls of Mountcathel, near Kelworth, co. Cork. The infertion of the marriage with Gen. Morrison must of course be erroneous. P. 487. Mr. Cowper was born at Berk hampftead in 1722, and educated at Weftminster school; and, as the place of clerk of the House of Lords was referved for him, he was fent to the Temple instead of the University, but never applied himself to the drudgery of the law or public bufinefs. He spent much of his time in retirement, at the houfe of his relation, Earl Cowper, at Cole-green, Herts, or at Huntingdon, with the Rev. Mr. Unwin; and, after his death, he retired with his widow to Olney, Backs, where was then minifter Mr. Newton, who inferted in "The Olney Collection" fome poems marked with his initial At Huntingdon he formed a close friendship with Dr. Cotton, of St. Alban's; and be was also intimate with Lord Thurlow. By intermarriage he was related to the author of "Thelyphthora," and to the prefent Bishop of Peterborough. He died of a lingering illness; and his funeral fermon was preached by Mr. Newton, at St, Mary Woolnoth church, May 11.

P. 489. Sir James Bunce, bart. was the laft of that antient family, which came from Malmesbury, Wilts, to Otterden, Kent, in the reign of Henry VIII. One of his ancestors, James, was theriff of London 1643, and afterwards alderman; but being a steady Royalist, and refusing to comply with the establishment of the Commonwealth, was, with the lord mayor and others of his brethren, committed to

the
