INCIDENTS, MARRIAGES, AND DEATHS, IN AND NEAR LONDON: With Biographical Memoirs of distinguished Characters recently deceased.

ON Tuesday, October the 30th, about 9 o'clock at night, an alarming fire broke out in the Cloisters, near St. Bartholomew's Hospital, by which three houses were consumed.

The same night, a fire took place at a public house in Whitecross-street, City Road. A young woman, who slept in the second floor, in her fright, threw herself out of the window, and died of the bruises which she received.

A marble slab has lately been erected on the Eastern wall of Kensington church, to the memory of Mr. Elphinston, a memoir of whose life appeared in our Number for December last year. The following is the inscription:

Sacred

To the Memory of

JAMES ELPHINSTON.
His Mind was ingenuous,

His Heart was affectionate,

His Manners, though polished, were simple,
His integrity was undeviating;
He was

A great Scholar

And a real Christian.

Jortin, Franklin, and johnson,

Were in the number of his Friends.
He was born at Edinburgh, Nov. 25th, O. S.

1721,
He died at Hammersmith, Oct. 8th, 1809.
And his Remains are deposited near the South
Wall of this Church-yard.
In grateful Remembrance of his Virtues and
Affection,
His Widow has caused this Tablet to be en-
graven.

The workmen employed to repair the church of St. Mary, Aldermanbury, discovered a few days since the remains of the notorious Chancellor Jeffries. A large flat stone was removed near the communion-table, and in a vault underneath the men found a. leaden coffin, containing the body. The coflin did not appear to have suffered much decay. It was closed, and a plate remained on it, inscribed with the name of Chancellor Jeffries. His son and daughter are also buried in the same vault. After the legal murders at Taunton, which Jeffries managed with so much address, he returned to LonJon and, to avoid the popular fury excited by his intamous conduct, disguised himself in the habit of a foreign sailor, with intention to escape to Hamburgh; but being discovered as he was looking out of a window in a house at Wapping, where he had concealed himself, he was seized by the mob, and almost killed. He was finally lodged in the Tower by the populace, in order that he might be brought to justice; but he died soon after,

in consequence of the blows and bruises he had received. He had previously resided in Aldermanbury, and his body was privately interred by his family. The coffin was not opened; and after public curiosity had been gratified, it was replaced in the vault, and the stone fastened over it.

The Temple church, one of the most an cient foundations in London, is at present under a thorough repair. The nine marble figures of Knights Templars in armour, placed in the area of the round tower, supposed to be rare pieces of antiquity: are now protected from injury. Several of the monuments have been cleaned, and the church already presents a new appearance.

Verdict Insanity.

tin's lane, Jon Dolan Burke, esq. At New Slaughter's coffee house, St. Mararrested for debt by a sheriff's officer, he Being poisoned himself by taking arsenic. From the depositions of the witnesses, examined before the coroner's inquest, it appeared that the deceased was an Irish gentleman, who had married into an Irish family of consequence, and he had lodged three months at the hotel. It turned out by the evidence of Mr. Spencer, surgeon, in New-street, that the deceased had taken poison several hours previous to the lat draught, swallowed when he was arrested by the officer, and that he obstinately refused to take any medicine. He added, that he ad

done the deed, and he would not take that which would frustrate his design. He at length grew insensible, and he was drenched with an emetic when too late. His Attorney stated to the Jury, that he had not been sober one minute these four years, which he attributed to his embarrassments, and he confidered him a maniac. Two of the Jury corrobrated this fact. Verdict-Insanity.

In Bloomsbury-square, P. Prattburn, esq. He put a period to his life, by shooting himself with a pistol through the body. He came to town on a Tuesday from his country residence at Brighton, and when he arrived, seemed much agitated in his mind, and con. tinued to remain so until Friday morning, when he committed the horrid deed; a surgeon was immediately sent for to give him medical assistance, but the spark of life was too nearly extinct to render any whatever. He languished for three hours afterwards, when he died in the greatest agony.

Mr. F. Chalie, wine-merchant, of Mineing-lane. He was sitting on his horse, and inquiring after une that was to be sold, at Mr. Hall's, in Grosvenor-place, when he dropped off in an apoplectic fit, as it is supposed, and died in a few minutes.

At Highbury Grove, Sophia Alexandrina, fifth daughter of the late Rev. John Urquhart, 17.

At Fulham, aged 73, Nathaniel Kent, esq. an eminent land agent, whose morality, strict integrity, and urbanity of manners, added to a conscientious discharge of his professional duties towards landlord and tenant, had long endeared him to numerous friends and acquaintance in all parts of the kingdom.

At Windsor, November 2d, her Royal Highness the Princess Amelia, the youngest child of their Majesties. She was born August 7th, 1783, and was, from early youth, of a very tender and delicate constitution, being frequently attacked with severe indisposition. In her person she was tall and slender, and her air was most graceful and prepossessing. Illness had impressed ts mark in her countenance, and scattered lilies over her cheeks. In her manners she was so mild, elegant, and amiable, as to win every heart. The frequency of her indispositions prevented her from studying as deeply as her elder sisters, yet she cultivated the fine arts with great success. In music and painting she was a proficient. She met with few rivals on the piano forte, and displayed a classical taste, both in her selection and execution of pic

tures. A model of filial piety; her love for her father was revealed in all her actions, and was so tenderly expressed a few days before her death, as to occasion the unfortunate illness under which he still continues to labour. Dignified, though condescending; benevolent, without ostentation; lively, though a prey to sickness, which usually quenches the spirits as well as the health of youth, she was beloved by all those who lived within the sphere of hearing of her virtues. Some symptoms of the illness which terminated her existence, having revealed themselves early, her royal highness tried the effects of sea-bathing, and derived much benefit from that practice. Her favourite amusement was that of riding, in which she was conspicuous for her elegance and skill. Exercise, however, and all the resources of the medical art, could but delay the fatal hour; her disorder began to gain ground in an alarming manner upwards of two years ago, and when the first jubilee of his Majesty was celebrated, she was lying on the bed of sickness, with but little h. pes of recovery. Towards the middle of last summer, however, she regained strength enough to sit up in her apartments, and to take a short walk into the garden. About a month before her decease, her royal highness was attacked with St. Anthony's fire, which brought on a relapse, which afforded her an opportunity of displaying the noblest Chris tian faith and fortitude, during weeks of prolonged agony, uncheered by any ray of hope. During the last few days her strength had been rapidly wasting away; and she closed her eyes as in a kindly sleep. It would be injustice to the memory of this excellent princess, to ascribe all her patience and fortitude to the natural frame of her mind, as the habits of devotion to which she had been trained and led by parental example, and the true principles of religion which regulated the whole of her conduct, strengthened the amia ble and gentle qualities of her disposition, and made her submit with meek resignation to the divine will, through the whole of the severe probation which she was to endure in this life to prepare her for a better. The ceremony of her royal highness's funeral took place on the evening of the 13th of Novem ber. A solemn silence pervaded Windsor during the whole of the day. All the shops were shut up, and scarcely one individual was to be seen in the streets who was not attired in mourning. The clock had no sooner struck eight than the procession moved from Augusta Lodge. The procession moved slowly to the south entrance of St. George's Chapel and passed up the middle aisle, when the body being placed on the tressels, the chief mourner placed herself at the head, and the dressers and attendants ranged themselves on the sides. The stalls on each side of the chapel were occupied by his Majesty's minissers, the nobility, and gentry. At the lower
